words of the heart

 Life is choices... I have made the wrong ones more than once.

~

Happiness is meant to be shared, 

sorry we didn't get to share that happiness.

~

One thing is for sure you can't rewrite a chapter.

~

I've learned a lot ...

~

... maybe it wasn't enough.

~

When I was on vacation 

I didn't want to go home.

~

Heartache is a funny thing, 

it never truly fades away.

~

I lost count of my mistakes, 

each would lead me down a different path.

~

I am not sure if was the safe choice 

or the one I was most familiar with.


~

No looking back ...teeny weeny steps ahead.


~

It's in silence that the heart speaks the loudest. 

~

Love and hate duel it out.

~





New Year

 Another day, another year

what I'd do to just share, 

 good morning kisses

from my lips to yours.


I take the time to pray

as I think of you each day,

wishing and a wanting you

in the most wonderful way.


I hold my pillow close 

dropping petals of a rose, 

as a reminder of the love

I have for you. 



Page Out of My Dreams

 In a world of craziness 

I'm glad that I found you, 

you bring with you a love

that chases away the blue.


I find myself daydreaming

all through the day and night, 

thinking of the magic that

brought my soul back to life.


I really can't explain it though

I have taken many years to try,

a mixture of want and need

just toys with my mind. 


Somethings are deep within

without the ability to fade, 

imprinted on my heart

and to my soul ingrained. 


If the days are shortened

and tomorrow never comes,

remember when two souls bonded

and created the mystery of forever love.


There is no shaking 

what came over me, 

as I feel your presence

like page out of my dreams.

You alone instilled

 I put the ringer on my finger

and that is where it stays, 

scripted with a few words

a reminder throughout the day.


It is not like I needed to

stir those thoughts of you, 

I laughed at the memories

that bring me close to you.


I believe in energy 

both good and bad, 

but I hold on to yours 

as time is passing fast.


The planets are aligned

and quite visible to see, 

as I gaze upon the heavens

I see you dancing there with me.


You might say I'm dreaming

but the visuals seem so real,

as I feel that something special

that you alone instilled.


Passed Me By

 I would have whispered had

the wind sent my love your way,

from the first moment I was never

ever quite the same. 


If this path was directed by

someone other than me, 

they altered the journey 

along the road to misery.


I hold you in my heart

in the most eternal way, 

I refuse to let you go 

so that is where you'll remain.


The new year is approaching

and a year older am I, 

I spent my life dreaming

while time had passed me by.

Weep

 

Screams in silence, 

no one can hear, 

from the heart 

the silence reared.


Weeping angels

sacred script, 

from the heavens 

to your lips. 


 It's not what you think, 

can't live on memories, 

you took my heart that day

when you just walked away.


I'll never be the same as I

fell into your game,

what I thought and knew

changes with each day.

~

The planets aligned

like souls when they unite,

interlocking lifelong pieces 

in this circle we call life.


Round and round we go

as we try to understand,

was this an accident or

a part of a greater plan?


There may not be answer

no matter where we look,

for no one wrote the end

in what I call life's book.

Blue

 I keep on moving so my mind might stand still as it

 all catches up with me like the water flowing from the well. 

There is no control on the future nor on the past 

it seems as if time is certainly having the last laugh.


I keep on running though my feet are standing still,

trying to break away from the hollow and the hills.

You'd think it would be easy but nevertheless it's not

I'm woven into the tapestry that is filled with knots.


The only thing I can do is change the route

take the path to happiness that can't be bought.

Difficult as it is I keeping running back to you

so that you can replace those gray skies with a 

lovely shade of blue.


Simply Love

 Time gets in the way

passing like drops of rain,

there only so much I can do

and only so much I can say. 


The memories have yet to fade

I can feel and seem them clearly,

I just want you to know that we are

what dreams are made of. 


My heart still feels the ache

nothing can take away these feelings,

if we can live in this world again 

I hope I find you sooner my friend. 


~

I'm happy for the experience

the magic of sweet love, 

from that very first hello

I knew you were the one. 


Time might have an edge

but this much I know is true, 

that we bring the warmth of love

to a world that is sometimes sad

and blue.

~

You can cry for the heartache

of a world in a blanket of grey,

or find that smiles deep inside

have a power in their own way.


I'll keep your memories

and I'll never let them go, 

documented by the heavens

they encourage the love to grow.

~

The empathy for all that we see

struggles on this so-called journey, 

an old soul lost like ship at sea

wishes and a wanting for you and me. 


Maybe we go on searching

through many a life, 

as there is something special 

when things click and feel right.


I just want to tell you

to let you know it is true, 

that we will be together 

your soul and mine about the 

blue.


People go on searching

to find their special one, 

but I found my soul mate

and live within that love.

Heartache

 I tried to reach you 

to tell you I was here,

but the dream turned to a

frightening and bitter nightmare.


My heart was racing 

I never sensed such fear,

knowing I was all alone and

you were never really here.


It was a bit of Deja vu

as I repeated it once again,

over and over and it always

came to the same end.


I didn't write this story, 

it doesn't come from my pen,

as I would never have written

in this awful end. 


Every day would be sunshine

and gentle blue skies above, 

I'd be forever in your arms 

feeling your sweet love.


There would be no hole

where once held a heart

and there would be no tears

to play their part. 


I woulda held your hand 

I woulda never let go,

but the story was written

in hell long ago. 


It doesn't feel good

this path laughs last,

as it causes a heartache

from that long ago past.


I am trying my best 

to let all of it go, 

but you became a part of me

and today it still shows/






 You haunt my dreams 

so much so that it has become a nightmare.
