Goodbye

Rattled Thoughts

It always comes back to "reaching for your hand"

~

Overly run by emotion can be seen as a flaw.

~

I had wondered if life was predetermined 

until I stumbled over choice.

~

Life energy is a soul in quest.

~

It always comes back to you...

~

Like the petals of a rose life is fleeting.

~

We are always writing another chapter

that is the power of choice. 

~

One person's right is another person's wrong

depending on how you digest the moment. 

~

Love is magical 

~

We can't skip chapters no matter how much we try.

~

War is a stain on humanity.

~

We are unique to our own journey.

~

We are not much different than other animals

to think so spins a false narrative. 

~

Moving mountains and bridging rivers

is hope on steroids. 

~

When needs and wants far outweigh reality

is called fantasy at its best. 

~

Poetry is a moment in a day. 

~

I tried to get away

almost made it that day,

survival comes in many forms

to take on any kind of storm.

It might have been the time

when hearts and souls align, 

removing all the barriers 

is written in from design.

~

I don't see sorrow 

no skies of grey, 

no mistake made

and leading me your

 way.

I'm betting on sunshine, 

holding on to the blue

as I go about dreaming

of the love I have for you. 

My Special Angel

Bobby Helms - My Special Angel

Think of Me

 Think of me, whether its rain or shine, 

think of me, I think of you all the time. 

Think of me and I'll know it's true that

we're under the same sky of blue. 

Dream of me, morning and night, dream of me,

I'm dreaming of you all day and night,

when I wake up early each morning and ready

myself to sleep, I prepare for the dreams by 

thinking of you and me.

 Think of me, whether its rain or shine, 

think of me, I think of you all the time. 

Think of me and I'll know it's true that

we're under the same sky of blue. 

Powerful

 How easy life can change

to darken the brightest day, 

taking away our sunshine 

and bringing skies of gray. 

Wary hearts and souls

feel the eerie cold,

reaching out to touch 

a more positive hold. 

Somethings are meaningless

as the possessions we hold, 

but love is more powerful 

and cannot be controlled.

War

 In this world of sadness

where the pain of war survives,

the devil takes the lead and

dances closely with time. 

The good is quickly forgotten

replaced by all that evil can do,

when greed and hate surface

the flames of darkness brew. 

~

I gave the human race more credit 

but no better than the ants are we,

still fighting all the lost battles 

as the powerful cannot agree. 

I weep for all mankind 

as they still have not learned,

that only the devil wins 

in the scourge of war.

~

One blue sky above us, as we

share in the same passing clouds

but the view is mighty different

depending on where your feet 

touch the ground. 

Empathy acknowledges the pain

but there is so little we can do,

 I pray the sun shines down on you

and brings peace in your sky of blue.

 

Fox

 You can't get around it 

when the fox is in the yard,

chasing all the chickens and

looking out for more. 

They call him sly for a reason

as he watches all we do, 

till the next predators comes along

and erases that sky of blue.

Locked

 Open the gates to the memories 

the flash a flood washes over the mind, 

I see life in various forms 

as I wonder just what tomorrow has 

in store. 

Our wants and needs are many 

and the road takes many a turn, 

looking for the right direction 

that leads me to your door. 

No sorrow or heartbreak, 

no tears from these eyes of mine,

I have wasted so many years 

on a path that had me walking

blind. 

There is a haunt from silence

a stillness that can't be explained,

I quickly close my eyes 

and envision your hand locked 

in mine.

In Your Eyes

 I saw the truth in your eyes and

 felt the magic of you by myside,

Loving you as you love me 

that is how it's meant to be. 

The magnet so strong it pulled me in

and that is how our story first began,

magical indeed it placed me the dream

and there is where our souls were first

set free.

 I saw the truth in your eyes and

 felt the magic of you by myside,

Loving you as you love me 

that is how it's meant to be

Red Winged Black Bird

I watched the red wing black bird,

he seemed not to be afraid of me,

coming daily to the feeder and

taking corn back to his sweety.

There is a lot that nature teaches

from the beauty the season brings, 

each moment comes with a lesson

that taught me not to take for granted

anything.

I see the gift you have brought me

the happiness and love within me, 

from the moment you appeared

I knew this was more than a dream.

The world is filled with beauty

such that few people will ever see,

might it be their heart was never touched

in a way that would allow them to see. 

I am grateful for all we share

like a fairytale right out of my dreams,

from the moment I felt your love 

I knew that something special had come

over me. 

Our Story

 Early morning before the sunrise, 

thoughts of you catch me by surprise.

Happiness the whole day through 

just thinking of ways to love you.

You're my king and I'm your queen

in this world made from dreams, 

Pleasures that only we can share

reveals that you truly care. 

Hello

 You make the sun a little brighter

and the sky a clear and royal blue,

as I skip through the flower garden

deep in thought of me and you. 

My heart is beating faster 

as I am lifted to the heavens high,

in that cloud dance created by 

the love we share from inside. 

You make the sun a little brighter 

and the sky a clear and royal blue, 

as I skip through the flower garden

deep in thought of me with you. 

One word shared between two 

a simple hello from me to you, 

The years are passing as they do

but I am holding on to the moment

I fell in love with you. 

Shattered Glass

 There are no words to ease the comfort

of this heart that's broken in two, 

I've died over a thousand times 

with every thought of you. 

Nothing can change the way I feel,

until every beat of my heart is still. 

I race with time hoping that I'd forget

to find a pool of tears that has me 

soaking wet. 

The memories are overwhelming 

and I don't know what to do, 

as all the haunting daydreams 

are consumed with you. 

~

Running, running, running

though my feet are standing still, 

running, running, running 

everything is a mountain or hill.

Can't compare the pain 

in this everyday world 

for everything is different 

and this is how I feel. 

~

RAY CHARLES SINGERS - LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART 1964

Until I

 The rain is falling 

the sky darkened and gray, 

as my thoughts break the silence

in a melancholy way. 

The thoughts of you are running

like a racehorse through my mind,

bringing with them mixed signals 

that haven't fade through time. 

It's a spell that can't be broken

no matter how much I try, 

for you are a part of me 

and with me till I die. 

Memories

 Haunted by memories as the pain never fades, 

 minute to minute, day upon days. 

Can't remove them nor wish them away 

scripted within the thoughts remain. 

One page or a chapter the story be told

how a day in a life can have such a hold. 

Reviewed over a thousand times the

painful memories never leave the mind.

One

 We can only be responsible

for our actions and what we feel,

the one-way road followed 

has its own curves and hills. 

Goodbyes might be appropriate

to turn the pages of life, 

as I can only tell the story 

from this here side. 

Another day of rain 

washes down upon the earth,

but nothing can cleanse the heart 

from the memories that were birthed.

No more tears are falling 

nor ache in the heart,

for the mirrors reflection

reveals one departs. 

Just You and I

 ...
