Passing Ships In The Night

 I lay here thinking in the night

as the stars rule the heavens high,

and at that very passing moment 

the thoughts of you entered my mind. 

I wondered if there was a meaning

to the people, place and time,

did it really alter our existence

creating the platform for rhyme?

The emotion has no control here

it's like a blank page in my mind, 

if there is a lesson to be learned here

it's that our existence fades with time.

When one refuses to remember

or acknowledge the importance at hand, 

we are lowered to a mere moment 

like " two ships passing in the night"

I briefly closed my eyes, 

and I whispered all my goodbyes, 

a sense of peace became the blanket

as the loneliness of the night could 

not be denied. 

Take a deep breath and slowly exhale

I questioned was this a beginning or an end?

Does the story have another chapter? Or are

the pages filled without any more entries. 

I don't have all the answers

no matter how much I try, 

I just keep on trying 

to release the troubles in 

my mind.

The road before us 

takes on many a view, 

the hills and bends

travel through grey and blue.

I battle waking up 

without tears in my eyes

as I linger in the moment

when your heart first met

mine.

 

You

 There is only one way to heal

and forgiving is certainly not new, 

as I gaze high upon the heavens 

and realize I am connected to you.

It might only be a page, a chapter or two,

but the story is indelible living on within you.

The journey accumulative as it never fades,

it just welcomes a new chapter in a unique way.

No Two Stories ...

 One moment lay before us, 

the passion that few could understand,

when one soul unites with another 

like the final piece in a puzzle. 

Choice is there to guide us

when fate takes a stand, 

as we pass through the darkness

in someone else's God forsaken 

plan.

To each their own heaven and hell,

the comparison is all that we have

as we turn the page called legacy 

in the book that life commands.

Everyone has a story

some are filled with pain,

like the storms of life 

you can feel each drop of rain.

Whose script are we following?

There are too many players to say,

detouring in different directions

we are writing in each step of the 

way.

~

I justify the loneliness

as a shield to protect the soul,

you wouldn't understand 

I had to snip that hold. 

I experienced in the passing

felt the joy for a little while.

as I hold onto the memories

that brought to me a smile.

~

There is an image that I see

as this bridge opened to me 

and I deeply questioned what

 it could possibly all mean.

Should I step across to see

if there's a new beginning for me?

Would I dare to find that hand 

that fits perfectly in mine.

Yesterday

 Tea party set upon a box 

 dirt floor and feet without socks,

childhood of yesterday 

with her dolly sits and plays. 

Goodbye to all 

didn't know the rain would fall, 

a story comes to an end

memories on the mend.

In his arms as he sang

haunting to this very day, 

an image I hold dear

with the heavens I share.

Calendar ...

 On this journey of life

somethings don't feel right, 

all the hello and goodbyes

messes with the mind. 

Maybe that is what we do

experience the grays and blue, 

learning what life has to give

while we try to live. 

Forward we must go 

that is all I really know,

the past is all but gone 

and all that left is an old song.

Yesterday

 Only to free the soul and

unleash your foolish hold, 

yesterday is all but gone

and took with it the song.

No voice in the night

the silence is hard to fight,

sorrow has found a way 

to master both night and day.

~

I had no chance to say goodbye

angels weeping from up high, 

take good care of the lost souls

and help them find the way.

Something happened from inside

I thought I had lost my mind, 

the world has changed a lot 

and then again not changed at all.

~

Words are easy they say

but actions rule the day,

like memories of ole 

a story remains. 

Something happened to me

I am not the same as I use to be,

older, wiser you might say 

or just on guard in a leery way.

No tears behind these eyes

I can no longer cry, 

as the emptiness inside 

has felt as something died. 

No Goodbye

 Hot summer days, 

dreams that find their way, 

blue skies without a cloud 

and memories that never fade.

Left with no goodbye,

a void remains inside.

Chapters that never close

let's burn those pages of life.

Starting a new

that's what survival 

will have us do, 

as I move ahead.

Lessons

 Unraveled emotions 

is it out of want or need?

The feelings that rule the day

and my nightly dreams. 

Heavens stars shining bright above

reflecting on the souls in love.

It is a page in this chapter of life

a lesson to be learned don't always 

feel right.

Sometimes it's a day, month or year

the crossing paths of two hearts that share,

some would call it baggage on this path of life

but I call it experience leading to the love of

my life. 

Memory

 Caught in the storms of life, 

till I reached for your hand 

and it make everything feel

so wonderful and right. 

This is my greatest escape 

to the heavens we quickly soar

in our very own magical way

loving each other day after day. 

Holding your memory 

that is what I do, 

as I close my eyes and 

visualize you.

Somethings are meant to be

that is why our paths had crossed,

like souls searching endlessly

till they bonded in what seems like

a dream.

The Heavens

 To the heavens and the stars above

I escape on the tail of your sweet love,

Joy and happiness found in your embrace

as I dance in your arms day after day.

Darkness finds itself in the world

but you are the light where love is revealed.

Whenever sorrow finds a place in the day

I close my arms and in your arms I lay.

In Love

 ...It's when you get that far away look. 

~

When the spark becomes fireworks.

~

Passion, desire and happiness and that simple hello that lifts your feet off the ground.

~

You don't know what it is until you experience it and then you are aware that there are many varieties of love.

~

Loving with all your heart despite...

~

When forever and always takes on a whole new meaning.

~

Sometimes we can love many people 

but you only fall in love once.

~

When you least expect it. 

~

I always call it Krazy with a K because everyone has a little crazy in them.

~

When both people are on the forever page that is indeed in love.

~

When I wake up and when I go to sleep...it is always you.

Happy 4th of July

 Your hand in mine...fireworks in the making.

I feel your energy... like stars colliding.

Love you more ...magic

Dancing on clouds is amazing but 

nothing compares to dancing with you.

Tears of emotion are filled full of happiness

With you every day is a holiday,

as we celebrate love.
