Sweetest Words

 You gave me the sweetest words

and the story of love I wrote, 

from yesterday came a vision

that lifted us up from this earth. 

My heart felt the magic 

and the soul recognized it too, 

that special love of dreamers

doing what lovers do. 

What Lovers Do

 The imaginary garden is

where everything is in bloom,

I take your hand and we 

stroll right through noon.

The fragrance sweet

and the memories are fine, 

like the pleasure of sharing 

with you a bit of time. 

Taking a deep breath 

and exhaling mighty slow,

with each kiss to you 

the love is set a glow. 

Here is where I hear

your soft-spoken voice,

from the moment of hello

I wasn't given a choice. 

My heart knew from the start

that you were never very far.

Here with me in all I say and do

the reason on winter days my 

sky is a baby blue. 

You chase away the darkness

with love as warm as sunshine,

through your memory I 

bring the love story to life.

Heaven was created 

on that first shared day with you

and there is where you'll find me

doing what lovers do. 

I'll Forever Love You

 I'll forever love you

beyond this time on earth, 

remember the moment 

we found our own star. 

I'll forever love you 

no goodbyes from me to you, 

I took my trade out 

on eternity with you.

Tonight

 The song that I sing,

sounds of love making

are all but a dream 

when I think of you. 

Flowers on a hill 

and grass green, 

are all visualized 

by my memories. 

There in my heart

to be used by the mind,

when sorrow creeps in 

I begin to write in rhyme.

Words of love 

I feel for you,

scripted in the heavens

above the skies blue.

These are my memories

they are mine to keep,

to use when I need them

to see this day through.

I take to the stars

to the moon at night

knowing that they are shining

down on you tonight.

Regrets

Missing You

The ducks were quacking

and the willow made a blind, 

yet we still connected 

like a lover writes a rhyme.

I gaze on out the window

each and every night,

to see that star of ours

is always shining bright.

My emotions reacted

and I began to cry,

the shoulda, coulda, woulda

surfaces from time to time.

I shoulda held your hand

and never let it go, 

but it's the best I could do 

without your sign.

I coulda tried harder

if I knew what I meant to you,

but the blue skies above us

changed the world with a different

hue.

I woulda done it over 

to spend another moment with you,

but the shoulda, coulda , woulda

reveals the regrets hullabaloo.

Could be the season

or the weather outside,

the early dark days bring

the memories to mind.

Some bring tears

that can't be wiped away.

but I am focusing on the love

that bring joy to the day.

 I spent my life running 

while my feet were standing still,

the choices we all make  

are based on our own freewill. 

Right or wrong 

the journey must be complete,

with different characters 

set in place to complete.

There is path that leads to sorrow

and another to happiness, 

as I wipe away the tears I think

of the ones that were filled with bliss.

Silly Thoughts

 I thought of you 

and a smile appeared,

I so wanted to share 

my thoughts with you.

Morning, noon and night

and you are always on mind,

with the smiles a giggle 

as dreamt of what I could do

with you.

I know you have some kind of hold,

like sunshine when it's cold,

warms me through and through

from heart to soul and from

me to you.

Silly as it may seem 

you caught be in a daydream,

wishful thinking at its best

this but be some foolish test.

I felt like sixteen 

a first with you and me,

I play the memories in my mind,

the joy can't be defied. 

..as I turn the page.

Grey skies, another day, 

step by step we find our way, 

the journey quickly unfolds

with memories of old. 

Tear drops fall like rain

as I recall the heartache,

the feelings of losing you 

never fade from my heart.

I tried to turn another page as

I think one chapter stills remains,

one where I hold the pen

and a new story begins. 

Optimistic you might say

the star of love above reigns,

no expectations do I have 

old mistakes I'll not entertain.

This heart is guarded well

I won't experience another hell,

protecting it from days gone by

there is no messing with the mind.

There might be just a little time 

the course of life quick like a rhyme,

to waste a moment would be a shame

but I am not playing a game.

Hearts were meant to give

without such love why should we live,

the choices that we continue to make 

should best be understood. 

Emotions are in disguise

protecting with foolish lies, 

like a mask upon my face 

my heart is hidden that's true.

If I allow my mind to rule 

shall my heart remain cold?

Denying the experience 

will change our eternity. 

No longer sad of goodbyes 

I know the star is yours and mine,

shining down on you and me 

no matter where we may be. 

Restless Morning

I am not sure that the path was redirected at all,

for there is no justice in fate. 

~

If the longest word in the human vocabulary.

~

If there is a final farewell 

I left it upon the night sky.

~

Nothing is worse than 

when two people are not on the same page.

~

Angels or demons?

~

The conflict between needs

is relevant to the outcome.

~

Misled by desire makes for a chapter of drama.

~

You can't change reality...

~

I fulfilled my dreams 

by creating a new one each day.

~

You don't realize a guardian angel is watching over

until you look back. 

~

Fate is the realigning of souls.

~

Weeping dry tears...

~

There is no sin in loving 

but in its absence a breach that leads to an eternal void.

Maybe it is the aging process

I see things quite differently.

~

Once upon a dream...

~

I have succumbed to the barriers

created by choice.

~

Not of happiness or sadness,

rather numb at best.

~

 Grasping for your hand to find only darkness.

~

In reality the words are meaningless

or are they?

~

Following someone else's script. 

~

The irony is that a person can run their whole life

and never get anywhere.

~

Thoughts

 True love never dies but instead soars beyond heavens 

in its own version of "Forevermore"

~

Rare that two can love equally

for in the absence of love is emptiness.

~

The revelation can be found in each fallen tear.

~

The moon outside my window,

the stars that shine above

a reminder how close yet far

you truly are.

~

I have a guardian angel

that has been here by myside

for no one travels through darkness

and surfaces beyond the stars/

~

We alter the space we are in and the people we meet 

as the path lay before us waiting on the moment.

Escape

 I needed to get away,

in any way that I could, 

upon the tears I floated

as I said goodbye for good.

Anxiety had surfaced

the fear had set on in. 

How could I leave behind?

that which lives deep within. 

I tried to accept the inevitable 

like the stars of the night sky, 

knowing that where I travel

your hand is there in mine. 

Love

 I looked to the heavens

to the star shining bright,

knowing wherever you are

the star will cast a light.

One sky above us, 

two souls bonded as one, 

I hold onto the magic 

that is simply called love. 

Wednesday

 I thought I held the pen

in these chapters we call life, 

but the choices weren't all mine

and the path seem to circle twice.

I am stumbled in on sorrow

fell in the pit of disbelief, 

in hoping that reality would

surface out of dreams. 

I held my hand in yours,

thinking you would be here for life,

but that was my first mistake

that caught me by surprise.

We ...

 Sing, 

Dance, 

Love

and there you'll find sweet memories. 

I sing, 

I dance,

I love

you till all the stars fall from the sky. 

~

I'm afraid the time is near

as I write once more to share,

the love I have for you 

and what our dreams can do. 

We are the sun that shines

the stars that light the night, 

the forever in a fairytale

and the meaning of life. 

We are the smile of the day

from the moment we awake,

the magic of love that 

makes everything feel right.

Paul Young -Everytime you go away with lyrics
