Spun The Dreams

 The wind blew and

 the sun went down,

the night had followed

with snow to the ground.


It wasn't the want

it was more like need 

that sowed the thoughts

and spun the dreams.


I wanted to tell you

to shout it out loud,

but time had passed

and silence was bound.


No tears had fallen

no words could be heard,

but a hello to the raven and

goodbye blue bird.

Living on Memories

 I saw and felt you there 

even though it was a dream,

scrambled a bit was the story

that brought you here to me. 


Agitated and yet peaceful

to share my day with you, 

that I refuse to wake up 

I am just living on memories.

...and love you I do.

 With family all passed away I find myself holding on to memories. Dad always said, " no goodbyes, I'll be seeing ya." Maybe it's the holidays, the lame holiday movies or the music that has me looking back. Sometimes the holidays bring a sadness of its own. You can't run, you can't hide so you have to face the day. 


I hopped on that passing cloud and

I found I pulled it down to the ground, 

All that left is the foolish dreams 

and your sweet memories. 


From tears to smiles

and smiles to tears, 

as I go about thinking of you

and wondering if you think

of me too?


The snow has fallen

and the hills are dressed in white.

all that I can see and feel 

is your hand in mine. 


I have aged a bit over the years

and still inside feel like I am sixteen,

that feeling you get from falling in love

never leaves this heart and soul of mine.


~

I'll aways love you 

and love you I do, 

the magic that comes

when one and one is 

no longer two.





Place

 There is a place I know is right, 

I think about it day and night. 

Under that star shining bright

is where my life gets its start.


I am lost as lost can be

when you're not here with me,

I find a smile upon my face

as I think about that first day.

"Someone to Watch Over Me" Barbra Streisand

Feelings of Love

 The snow has fallen, 

it now blankets the ground

as the birds have flown south 

and the deer hang around. 


Winter is upon us 

as the darkness has its say, 

I go about daydreaming 

of those bright summer days.


Time is moving quickly 

and older are we, 

but nothing really changes

I love you in every way. 


From day one 

when you first said hello, 

my heart began racing 

as the love continued to grow.


I could send the whispers 

to your ears alone, 

but I doubt that you would hear

as you have let me go. 


I go about the evening 

as I have the night before, 

imagining how different 

life would be from the core. 


I danced in the kitchen

with a smile upon my face, 

as I thought about you 

in my arms each day. 


Foolish might I be 

to want forevermore, 

but one thing is certain

that we never know what's

in store. 


There is no falling asleep

I keep on silly thoughts of love

and the happiness I gathered 

from those passing clouds above.


Many things can leave us

and so much really does, 

but nothing can take away 

these feelings of love.

 The isolation is a form of protection. 



My Forever belongs to You

 Till the sun no longer shines 

and the wind in all its glory  

fails to brush against my cheek

I will keep close your love. 


The snow blankets the hills

and the darkness rules the day, 

as I close my eyes the visual 

of two souls merging as one appears.


Today, tomorrow and beyond all the time,

like the song yet to be sung 

and the story that we fail to document 

lives on through the celestial heavens.


One star above us shining bright

reveals a kind of magic 

uniting both heart and soul 

of two beings into one. 


This is my forever and my 

forever belongs to you,

Once more I close my eyes

in desperation to see you.

My Love

 I don't think this heart of mine is ticking, 

I feel like the stillness that stole the night. 

I've said my goodbyes once to many times

and let the void borrow deep in my mind. 


The challenges of life are many 

time as they say" is passing way to fast"

I shouted out in the night 

in hopes that you just might hear 

the call to you, my love. 





Script of Our Dreams

 I made a promise 

and my promise is real, 

to document the emotions

from the love I feel. 


It brightens my winter

makes each day feel like spring, 

jumped started my heart and 

taught it once more to sing. 


I made a promise 

and my promise is real, 

to document the emotions

from the love I feel. 


I took from the heavens

the script of our dreams 

and with the pen called life

I penned in you and me.


Through The Day

 I didn't go looking

nor did I expect to find,

the magic of our love 

where two souls are 

entwined. 


They call that something

that can't be explained, 

but I call it happiness 

that gets me through the day.

Free

 Just a word upon a page 

one story that remains, 

life with you is not a game

it's the path that leads this way.


Like a buoy tossed out at sea

that is what you are to me, 

you calm the very soul 

as you've got this magic hold.


I'll never let you go 

I think by now you must know, 

love likes ours was meant to be

as the sevens sent down this dream. 


Something comes over me 

as if the Lords listened to my plea, 

I won't go till you are in my arms 

and we are dancing under the nightly

stars.


The world has such negativity 

but you and I rise above to see, 

feel my hand reaching out to you

we are closing the gap in the heavens

blue. 


I'll love you till the end of time

the words were written in rhyme, 

documenting what you mean to me

and setting our souls soaring free.

With Me

 Like the sun you warm my heart

close the distance from a far, 

when I think of you a smile appears

as if our souls connected really are

bonded dear. 


Like the water rushes the rock 

your love created a spark, 

from the moment I felt you here

I knew that you really did care.


I held onto the magic sweet

the way you lift me off my feet,

I refuse to let you go, 

every thought is like a first snow.


It might be the child in me

who still believes in dreams, 

as I close my eyes to sleep

I take with me your memories.


 


Loving you, Loving me

 Loving you, loving me

I give into this dream,

Like our star above 

shouts out about our love. 


Loving you, loving me 

is how it was meant to be, 

I have tried to understand 

but it's all in God's hands. 


Loving you, loving me

and my heart begins to sing, 

as we dance on heavens high

you are in these arms of mine. 


Eternity

 It's a song yet to be sung

unwritten words of love

from the day you said hello

I felt that joy in me grow.


Somethings can't be explained

like rain on a sunny day, 

but this much I do know 

I can't or won't let you go. 


I find a certain amount of peace

just holding on to your memory, 

the bonded visual of two 

from the day I met you. 


Somethings come and go

through acceptance I do know

that you have become a part of me

and that is a glimpse of eternity.

Inside

 Expectations lead to disappointment, 

love finds heartache at the door and 

memories are all that surfaces 

from the dreams of forevermore. 


You promised the pain would fade

that I'd forget how much you mean to me,

as the years have quickly passed on, 

I've found myself living on those dreams.


The tears are stored inside

held back so no one can see, 

I take to my bedroom and

let those tears flow from me.


I know how the clown feels

walking around with a smile,

inside is a forever heartache

that resides deep in me. 



Pain

 The season takes charge

with snow, rain and cold, 

as the darkness moves in 

I'm feeling a bit old. 


But I can't stop thinking

as my thoughts turn to you, 

from the dance in the kitchen

to the city lights blue. 


Somethings are necessarily 

like taking a simple breath, 

but the tears kept on falling

taking me to a deeper depth.


I tried to control it

but the emotions won out,

and I found myself lost

without a doubt. 


The screams are in silence

and no one can hear, 

the pain in my heart 

when you are not here.

Game

 Life is but a challenge,

some may say it's a game, 

where we are all but pieces

that take on each day.


Some may win or lose

and often do the bow,

but hold your head high

and trick them with a smile.


For joy is truly contagious

I have experienced it along the way,

sing and dance with laughter 

in this life that's called a game.  

Without Song

 You only feel heartache but once,

for harden the heart becomes, 

as a shield of protection is placed

to prevent what once thought of as 

love. 


Foolish are the years 

that had me holding on, 

for I have wasted a lifetime

in a world lost without song.




Lifetime

 I have carried a lifetime

somehow it was tucked inside,

sometimes filled with heartache

that toyed with the mind. 


I saw a new beginning

and I grasped in hopes to find,

a chapter full of happiness 

to replace the tears from inside.


Ship that Sails the Sea

 To each their own story

a book from deep within,

chapter upon chapters

each page a day begins.


Life with many options

the choice is always ours,

from the moment we are born

till we meet our untimely end.


Tears have quickly fallen

emotion packed yet free,

within each tear a trial

like a ship that sails the sea.

magic

 There is no doubt that it's magic,

the love caught me by surprise 

brought all my dreams to life

as I fell deeply for you. 


My world changed forever 

as it lifted me high on the clouds,

we danced closely all around 

sharing moments of love with you.





Part of Me

 They say lost love heals with time

or fades like a past memory or rhyme, 

I found neither to ever be true 

as I feel that same love for you.


You touched that part of me

allowing my soul to soar free, 

to forget would be a painful loss

that kind of love can never be tossed.


I hold it in my heart 

so that you and I will never part,

more than a simple memory

you became a true part of me. 

Me and You

 The music was playing

and my mind raced to you, 

my arms folded against my chest

and I was assured I was dancing 

with you.


It might have been the love song

or the longing here for you, 

but as if magic had empowered

I felt the love between me and you.

From The Heart

 

I won't deny it and 

I can't let it go, 

the love between us 

has that eternal glow.


It brings a smile 

to my face each morn 

as I lay here thinking 

what tomorrow has in store.


It has to be better 

than being alone, 

as I go about dreaming 

what you already know.


I know for certain

those little things we share

come from the heart 

revealing how much you care.



Me and You

 I reached out into the darkness

as I have done many times before, 

desperately trying to hold on 

to that sweet love of yours. 


There are so many chapters

from that very first hello, 

that I find myself wondering

where did the time go. 


 Something is awfully peaceful

in the connection between us two, 

as it comes with complete acceptance 

of the love that grew between me 

and you.

Heart

 Right outside my window 

the moon is full and bright

shining down upon us

while uniting you with me. 


I think about you often

wondering where you are, 

wherever your path leads

with you goes my heart.
