Wonder

 I keep on moving, 

spinning fast around, 

trying not to stop 

from the heavens down. 

When idle I am lonely

and quite sad and blue, 

as I wonder if you ever

think of me too. 

~

Just A Dream

 I spend my day 

dreaming of you, 

to bring you closer

and make my sky blue. 

Don't know what you think,

at this moment who cares?

While time marches on 

without a day to spare. 

I once believed in the words,

a legacy of sort in forever years.

The sun will keep shining and the

sky remains blue, even though it's me

without you. 

Just a dream to bring you here,

a vision of love two hearts shared.

Though all comes to an end 

my love and my friend. 

No tears fall 

though these eyes of mine cry, 

as I go about dreaming 

of a life with you by myside.

I don't think you ever understood

how much I needed what time took,

I have to be grateful for all we had

it created the memories and for that

I am glad.

Memories

 I keep reliving the moment

you first said hello to me, 

held my hand and kissed me

as it felt like it was a dream. 

The emotions are overwhelming

as the tears flow down my cheek,

laying here with your memory 

makes me feel a little weak. 

I can't even explain it 

the way you make me feel, 

it's as if you took the moment

and somehow made it stand still.

The days are meaningless

they all run into one,

as nothing can compare

with the feelings of love.

My head upon the pillow

as I lay here in your dream,

reliving the memories 

that taught my heart to sing.

Help Me Make It Through The Night by Willie Nelson - 1980 (with lyrics)

Kris Kristofferson, Help me make it through the night

James Brown - I Feel Good

Star in the Sky

 There is a star in the sky 

it has your name next to mine,

brings a smile to my face as

I gaze on up to the heavens high.

I know that this is real 

these emotions that I feel, 

as loving you is the best thing

that happened to me. 

 There is a star in the sky 

it has your name next to mine,

with the words of forevermore 

written to I love you.

Sings

 Love you, I'll always love you 

want you ...my forevermore. 

Dreaming, I just might be dreaming

to think that you want me too. 

Wishing...I keep on wishing 

for something that will never be, 

foolish, oh so foolish to think

you loved me. 

 Love you, I'll always love you 

want you ...my forevermore. 

Dreaming, I just might be dreaming

to think that you want me too. 

Tom Jones - I'll Never Fall In Love Again (1967)

Lesson

 I accepted this life 

for what it can bring, 

chapters written 

stored in my memories. 

Some are filled with sorrow

that never fades away and

the happiness I hang on to

gets me through the day.

I'll never quite understand as

the game was not in the plan,

I let my guard down and 

you found your way in. 

Nothing can replace

or take the place of you.

no matter how I try 

I am trapped in those days

with you.

It is a lesson 

on how heartache feels,

the coming together and

breaking down the shield.

~

That feeling of running

when your feet are standing still, 

the emotions within that never

seem to heal. 

I needed the courage 

to stand alone, 

but wanted you 

no matter where I'd go.

Days became years and still

 I stood on the path of fear,

wanting to get away and 

make my life anew.

I just kept reaching 

out for your hand 

and the sadness moment

was when I realized you 

didn't understand.

It was a blend of want and need

that found me begging on my knees,

you'd think the tears would no longer fall

and I'd be over this once and for all. 

Just a Day

 Complete her sentence

and feel his energy, 

connected by the heavens

both heart and soul. 

One to one 

within the dreams, 

the thoughts consume me,

is it want or is it need?

Different people, different times

conjured up through the rhymes,

the treasures quickly unfold 

more valuable than gold.

Time has passed

with endless song, 

yet silence dwells 

amongst the wrong. 

Not enough to see it through

reveals what it means to you,

foolish, silly just a game

a recording of another day.

1958 HITS ARCHIVE: For Your Love - Ed Townsend

For Your Love

Yours and Mine

 Life takes on different views

depending on where you are, 

in the third quarter of life 

I see through your heart and mine. 

What mattered doesn't at all 

those foolish tears no longer fall, 

what I didn't give a thought to

now matters most of all.

Leaving behind the dreams

walking forward with memories,

from this day on, I'm singing 

 our sweet love song. 

Silly dancing in my mind

as I know there is not much time,

sometimes there is no goodbyes

but you know it deep inside. 

 Life takes on different views

depending on where you are, 

in the third quarter of this life 

I see through your heart and mine.

 

Our World

 The sun keeps on shining 

the stream to the river flows,

as the world keeps on turning 

and my love for you grows.

Another year in passing 

the seasons race on by, 

if only I could hold still 

just one moment of time. 

I'd have you here beside me

I wouldn't waste it at all, 

just to make you happy 

I believe is my life's call. 

The world is filled with evil

heartache and tears, 

but in our world of love 

only kindness is shared.

Melancholy

 It could have been different

the path we chose to take, 

a different kind of world 

from the moment we awake.

No use in feeling Melancholy

the blues have nothing over us, 

for you will always be the sunshine

free of any sort of fuss.

There is a song in the air 

that only soul can recognize

spirited and magical 

it caught me by surprise.

I listened rather closely 

as my feet floated off the ground,

I reviewed all the memories 

and nothing could hold me down.

Grateful is this heart 

for knowing you is grand

I wouldn't change a thing 

to alter God's plan.

There is lesson to be learned

in all we say and do, 

I am sure that is why the Lord

had me collided into you.

If these days are the last 

in this quarter of life, 

I am happy I experienced 

the joys that feel so right.

Loving you is magical

like our star above 

had me falling deeply

in love with you.

There are so many ways

that a person can share love

that I'm so grateful

that our souls united as one.

Met mine...

To hold your hand 

and kiss your lips, 

feel the magic sweet

before it vanishes. 

I close my eyes 

to relive the dream, 

where I see you 

right next to me. 

Rainbows rule the sky

in hues that tease the mind.

The rain still falling down

as my feet lift off the ground.

The senses loft in peace

as I fall to my knees, 

I thank the Lord for the time,

when your heart first met mine.

This thing we call...

 They say," everyone has at least one good story." Some of us have a few.

What I have learned over the years, that love comes in various forms. It can be born from either a want or a need and can flourish from the simplicity of caring or the passion of desire. The rarity comes when two people feel love on the identical plane. I call that the fireworks stage or the magic. I am not sure it exists but if it does it very, very rare. Emotions or the feelings that control one person's heart doesn't all control another. I have had the rare pleasure to meet a variety of people, and each revealed their similarity and differences of this thing we call love. 

The needs were very simple

I wanted it to be so, 

reaching through the waters

as I felt you let me go. 

I gasped as I struggled

trying to understand, 

our needs were very different

as I stumbled in someone elses

plan.
