Somewhere In Your Heart

The Autumn Leaf

 

Deafening Silence

 Screams in silence,

running while standing still, 

numb filled emotion, 

a heart that stands still.

Clouds passing by 

no moon in sight, 

the darkness nears

one day , one life.

Learning

 I was once told that "now is not the time for learning but to enjoy from our experience. "I have come to realize that saying is far from the truth. There is not a day that goes by that I do not have a new experience or a new lesson on life. The day we stop learning is the day we stop living. In retrospect even old experiences reflect upon us new lessons as we age. I believe that is because we see things differently. It reminds me of a Classic movie where each person or child see's the same movie and understands it at their level of maturity. Even I catch myself watching a movie I have seen many times and then saying oooh so that is what that meant. The ability to think , understand and truly comprehend varies with age, time and experience.  It brings me to love and the various ways we love and the people who cross out path.  Our wants and our needs dictate our response to a situation. 

In this moment the moon is shining bright

as I look out the window it's now in sight, 

brings on the memories I shared with you 

in a dream of possibilities lost to the blue. 

I can't explain the feelings inside 

toying with my heart and my mind.

Maybe it has to do with desire 

as nothing replaced that warmth of 

the hour. 

I didn't expect the journey I'm on 

to lead me down the path of a lost song, 

there is a possibility that is true 

that as long as we believe the day is new. 

Humming a wordless song 

in a world that sometimes feels wrong, 

could it be we are still learning that is true

as tomorrow comes no matter what we do. 

Eternal

 Little bit of advice

goes far throughout life, 

for I don't know the why

but I lost track of time.

Confused with the memory

I traced all the stars in the sky, 

wondering what it all meant

and if you ever were mine?

~

The book of life is short

and the words given in accord, 

in chapters along the way

that reveals what each day has in

store.

Turning the last of the pages,

tired and as tired as I can be,

I think about the path traveled

and what each character meant

to me. 

Sometimes it all made sense

and other times I didn't understand,

but it was the last words spoken

that I'll remember for all eternity.

Sweetest Memories

 I want to walk back into the dream,

hold your hand and hear my heart sing.

Feel the wind to suddenly to my cheek

as I dance to the sweetest memories.

The dream took me by surprise 

surreal it played with my mind. 

I could feel you next to me 

and hear your voice softly. 

The tears took a hold of me, 

and I could sense what was to be.

From the moment I awoke,

confused my heart still broke.

Vivid the images remain

and the feelings are the same,

I close my eyes once more 

as my heart hopes for more.

Till We Meet Again

 This is quite the journey 

and  shorter ever day, 

even in our passing 

another page is gained. 

Rivers through the mountains, 

clouds that turned to gray, 

a reminder that all circles

in this lifetime of a game. 

I'll be seeing ya

 My grandmother taught me the survival skills for life. Stay strong, don't break, keep going, smile, believe in all you do, gardening is life, finish what you start and that every hello sooner or later has a goodbye attached. I think most people who cross our path bring something to the table, maybe some more than others.  But my father would have disagreed with the Goodbye ...he always ended with I'll be seeing ya.

It's just another day, 

in the seasons of our life, 

passing in away 

that seems to take out the light.

Feelings are mixed

confused some might say, 

but it took a lifetime 

to feel this way. 

~

Whispers of life 

short as they may be, 

tell the story 

for another day. 

Weep not 

though skies are gray, 

as tomorrow brings 

hope our way. 

~

Lifetime

 I have been running a lifetime

but never getting very far,

there is an anchor placed heavily

weighing down on my heart. 

The journey sometimes blurry

as the cross roads fade away,

and I find myself circling 

on the same path each day.

Tears Fall

 Tears fall, 

they say it all.

Wish and want

that you might call.

Heart break 

may never heal, 

but in my dreams 

I have it all. 

Email in My Dreams

 I must have needed you, 

you're a mere thought away

as in my dreams I emailed you

just to say "Hello, how are you 

today?"

The connection undeniable

but age is creeping by,

I wish we had the time together 

you and I side by side.

Maybe it is one sided, 

as sometimes it can be, 

so i close my eyes to be near you

and kiss you sweetly.

Somethings fade away 

or soften with life, 

but you will remain apart of me

until the whispers end this life.

Strongest Bond

 I have died a thousand times, 

"how is that possible " you say?

for every moment that you are not here

another piece of me fades away.

I tried to deny it 

as many have come and gone, 

the connection that united us together

is still the strongest of bond. 

Call it what it is

 There is no replacing

no stand in will do, 

when our hearts came together

the dreams started anew. 

Distance can't stop it 

it's magical in its own way, 

as filters throughout life 

and before us lays. 

Interlocked

 I needed to tell you

and wanted you to know,

that something inside me

just couldn't let go.

Interlocked like two as one

it was clear to me it was more than love,

not just a journey or a path we are on

something told me it's where I belong.

Running fast and running far

with a half beaten broken heart, 

unrealistically it's been said 

that not all stories have an end.

Chapters on chapters 

and one to one, 

the words are written 

in the heavens above.

Alone

 Running away 

with my feet standing still, 

trying to get away 

but everything has been up hill.

No one beside me

no matter how I tried

my hand is empty 

with only memories in my mind.

Gazing out the window

at a moon free night,

all I see are the clouds 

that have haunted me 

through this life.

I once felt the magic 

and then I let it go, 

this journey of darkness

has me walking it alone.

Always

 Make your peace with the Lord,

let his realty come through, 

as the only thing we are sure of

we always knew. 

In this life there is no guarantee

to wake up each morning and breathe, 

I take this time to tell you true

that I will always love you.

Lessons of Life

 It takes a lifetime of experience to truly understand 

and a special kind of person to hold your hand.

There are tears and laughter along the way

and the strength of love to get us to this day. 

It has been told " with age comes wisdom"

and I certainly must agree with them,

as I look back on my yesterdays 

I realize I'm  a piece in this life long game.

There is a lesson to be learned

even if we feel we've been burned,

for this much I can say is  true

"the day we stop learning in this life

we are through."

Sweet Dreams

 There is one sky above us

though we are far apart, 

the galaxy filled with stars

and a moon uniting our hearts.

You are always with me, 

a mere thought away, 

like a kiss from the heavens

where sweet dreams are made. 

~

I believe the journey was written

by someone other than me, 

from the first day we are born

you know there will be a few thorns. 

I might have a choice 

but something harnessed my voice 

and I don't think you could hear

my whispers of love.

~

Just to wake up in you arms

and feel the beat of your heart, 

that is all I would ever need

and to you I quietly plead.

The visions of sweet 

bring you ever close to me, 

if only in my dreams 

via the warmest memories. 

~

People don't understand

that this is part of God's plan, 

to reveal in its own way,

the love that heaven made. 

The tears swell from inside

as the memories toy with the mind,

a reminder of what could have been

as the loss is truly a sin. 

~

I can't see the sunrise this morning, 

the trees of late summer block with green,

the clouds of darkness are hanging low

and the chill of a new season screams.

There is an ache that resides in my heart

and a emptiness that leaves behind a void,

it might be why I have this awful dream

where I'm running to a place I've never seen.

It plays over and over in my head

so much so that it seems so very real, 

like a dagger straight to my heart

that is how vivid the dream is still.

Doing what is right,

looking towards the light,

the road before us 

has trouble in its sight.

Reaching out to hold you,

pulling you so ever near, 

my worried heart's in need 

without you there is just fear. 

Understand

 There were strangers 

and a place I couldn't identify, 

as it all appeared to me 

through a silly dream. 

Each day I try to understand

but the reality is so, 

that the images just won't 

even let me go.

I was running 

but no one was waiting,

except those strangers there

they daily reappear.

The old cliché comes into play.

" alone in a crowded room "

so I go about reviewing the dream

and wondering just who are "they"

I was running 

with no place to go, 

and the images were

clearly so 

Understand

 I see the day in a different light, 

nothings changed in the battle of life

it's not always easy to explain 

but it feels like a storm of hail and rain.

They say this is the time to rejoice 

but somehow I feel empty without voice,

as if no one is listening and somehow 

a part of me is internally missing.

I spent my life trying to get away 

and anchored I foolishly stayed,

most things come to an end

a lesson taught by a so called friend.

Reaching up for your hand

but the void must have been the plan,

I  constantly struggle to understand

but I seem to deny the truth.

Elvis & Tom Jones Duet - I'll Never Fall in Love Again

Power of the Mind

 There is one thing certain, 

and the obvious is true, 

you can search the world 

but there is only one you. 

There is many a feelings

and each one might be new, 

as those who cross my path

have nothing on you.

Once a fool 

to the power of heartbreak, 

till I took complete control 

and gave the words a new day.

~

I  fell victim to the dreams

as they were clear to me, 

when I awoke I felt the magic

of renewing those memories.

I didn't want to open my eyes,

I wanted to stay there by your side, 

to share in this moment 

through the power of the mind. 

Souls

 I need to be there with you

to feel your flesh next to mine, 

the tears rolled down my cheek 

as I thought of you and the burden 

of time. 

Why is there so much sorrow?

Who wrote the script of life?

So many questions unanswered

as I travel without you by myside.

You'll never know how I feel,

the ache unsettling to the heart, 

I go about simply writing 

as it brings you close from afar.

I don't care how others feel, 

no comparison to you and I, 

as our souls once united 

now capture a place in the stars. 

Rise Up and Above

 Give it up to the Lord

and pass on all the grief,

the sorrow is heavy 

but you need belief.

Take a deep breath

slowly and steadily exhale,

allow in the positivity

let the memories heal. 

Rise up and above

keep the head afloat, 

have faith in tomorrow

each day is a new start.

Close the eyes

and you'll be surprised

the visions of happiness

come from inside. 

Fate plays a role

that is ultimately true,

but the decisions are ours

to do what we do. 

Simple Reminder

 When I deny the connection

a loss comes over me, 

so I reach out for your hand 

in a dance by memory.

Earth or the heavens 

it matters little where you are, 

I spent the many passing years

denying what's in my heart.

These words are written

and left here for all time, 

as a simple reminder 

that your soul is joined 

with mine. 

Nightly Dreams

 

My soul stands agitated 

when I try to let you go, 

so I had to accept reality

of what my heart already 

knows.

It might be referred as twin flames

or referenced as a soulmate of hearts, 

the connection between two of us

will never ever part. 

You can deny it all you want, 

you can walk away from me, 

but I'll catch up to you 

in my nightly dreams. 

`

I raced to my bedside 

to hold my pillow tight, 

and dream once more

of you in the night. 

The years have passed on

and many have come and gone, 

but not one of them 

could even hum the words to 

our song. 

There is some connection

a heart and soul elective, 

where dreams are the tool

to bring you here to me. 

I'll pass on alone

because I can't let you go, 

you're a part of me 

even if all I have of you is dreams.

Tonight...

 It's amazing the joy you bring me, 

even though you're not here, 

I felt the love we share 

in the dreams that bring you near.

I'll try to explain it 

the feelings that I have, 

somehow just knowing you 

make this heart beat so fast.

The magic that we share, 

the feelings that you once cared, 

bring a sense of peace like a 

dream coming to life here.

There something that holds me to you,

like the mystery of the heavens 

that makes the sky above us 

a perfect kind of blue.

I felt it through the dream

it was a simplicity of sort,

a normal kind of day and 

you and I finding our way.

I shared with you my family

and a friend or two but it was 

the strangers that we talked with

that the magic of it came through.

It didn't fade away like many dreams do,

it stayed with me through the day and

brought a comfort and warmth that 

made this love of ours true.

I knew at that moment 

no matter where you are.

that you are always with me 

as if we were two colliding stars.

First came this explosion, 

then the distance set on in, 

from love to tears a journey

a story without and end.

This chapter might only include dreams,

and that is okay with me, 

for no one can take away the happiness

that the memories will bring. 

I'm not writing this chapter, 

I am grateful for the day 

and when I close my eyes tonight

it's in your arms I'll lay. 

My Forevermore

 I didn't want to wake up

I wanted to stay in your arms, 

hold your hand in mine as I

feel the beat of your heart. 

Many have come and gone

but only one prevails, 

the magic bursting from inside

froze the moment still. 

We shared the moments 

in a very common way, 

none of it made any sense

other than you and I found 

our way.

Our differences surfaced

and we accepted each and every one, 

for there is only one true love 

in this joy sent from above.

It was the simplicity 

a walk hand in hand

or maybe the sharing 

that comes without a plan. 

I kept reviewing the time 

when i saw you again and

felt the uniting of souls in

these dreams of mien. 

Welcome to this world 

where heart and souls bind, 

forever is not just a word

it's the story behind the rhyme. 

I needed to see you, 

to feel you once more, 

no matter where this journey leads

you'll be my forevermore. 

Walk Me Through This Dream

 If I could change the outcome of life, 

I'd rewrite the chapters and make it all right.

From that very first hello I would have never let you go

I'd held on with all my might never loosing grip of the night. 

All I have left are memories to simply comfort me, 

they come with a sort of peace that brings me to my knees.

Begging time to be a little more kind, like a well written rhyme,

where you take the lead and walk me through this dream.

The truth is in the heart, it was there from the start,

that love could be so fine, better than the finest of wine. 

That is why I don't let go of what I have always known, 

the magic that I feel as the incredible ability to heal. 

Touched my soul in such away, bringing sunshine to my day,

when only darkness availed your love acted like a shield. 

I can't really say except that you've gotten me through the day,

where I can hold on to our unsung love song. 

So, I ask you once more not knowing what's in store,

to hold my hand like you held my heart, 

when the day is passing by and there is so little of time, 

remember what we have and give the destiny the last laugh.

~

To let you go is to live in death. 

~

Time reveals all that will be... 

~

The sunshine of your dreams.

~

Angels weeping from high above, 

as they look down on this broken love, 

what should be and what we can't reveal, 

is the walk-through life from the lonely hill. 

Sorrow and grief set out a plan,

but the love between us still stands.

when rain falls on a hot summer day 

it washes away the sadness that remains. 

~

What does the future hold, 

weighted down by faux gold, 

the reasons are not very clear

I stopped counted the passing 

of another year.

Take the day for all of its worth

leads me to the simplicity of earth.

When nothing makes a bit of sense,

I close my eyes and allows the dreams 

to birth.

 Life is Fleeting.

Rarely do two love on the same level, 

when it happens it is like a fireworks display.

Magic is deception , so is love.

Life is like a bundle of dreams and nightmares.

No tears left to shed.

What I know...goodbyes are difficult.

Good or bad we are a product of circumstance.

I want for others what I want for myself...peace.

Ugh

 The haunting truth reveals 

the reality of choice and circumstances. 

~

The would, coulda, shoulda 

does not change that tomorrow will come.

~

There is no eraser big enough...

~

I never thought I would be sorry for my choices...

~

View

When a lifetime becomes a blur

and there is no looking back, 

the reality of the moment reveals

that there is no guarantee as time

passes fast.

No tears are left to fall,

the emotions are all but gone,

as we enter the final quarter

without the transparency of song. 

Monday

 We can't take back yesterday

no matter how much we try, 

the road before us was paved

as if I was sitting on the side line.

My heart is dipped in sorrow 

and feels the pain each day, 

as I go about wondering 

who laid the path this way.

~

I have so many emotions

as if the stories are yet untold,

bouncing back and forth

these feelings are getting old.

Sitting in the third quarter

the day are passing fast,

and I think who ever mapped

this journey is having the last

laugh.

~

Love is like a circle

and there is no coming down,

tears falling with each moment

leave a bucked filled on the ground.

I might have done things different

and than again maybe not, 

but I am holding on to the memories 

that which I have a lot.

 I didn't take the time to tell 

just what you mean to me,

from the moment you left

I started living on a dream.

I thought of all that I'd tell you,

all the thing that we could do.

If only I could take back time

and spend those days with you.

It really wouldn't matter

what we would say or do, 

just to be here with you 

would be a dream come true.

I have said too many goodbyes

more than any one person should, 

enough to brake a heart and 

harden the pieces like wood. 

~

One Day

 I had no hopes for tomorrow, 

there were no words left for me, 

the stars were still shining 

but I had lost my hope in dreams. 

I tried to understand 

as the years were passing by,

but only one person dared to stand 

pulling me to their side. 

The Glory Of Love

April 2nd

 Indeed the willows roots are shallow

though the oak uprooted in a storm, 

revealing all but one stands alone 

as if it's the moment to perform.

Reality has spoken 

the whispers cannot be denied

as there is no deep connection 

that unlocks that gates of time.

Special Kind of Blue

 I never got to say goodbye, 

as your hello haunts my mind.

I've lost count of all the years

from the first moment you disappeared.

 

They said these feelings would fade

like a warm memory of yesterday, 

but they are as strong as they can be

for you remain truly a part of me. 

How do I say goodbye 

to the love that is deep inside?

Do I leave it on this note 

that you had simply let go?

Somethings can't be explained

like the sun shining when it rains, 

that is the feelings I have for you

as it gives the heavens a special blue.

 

 

Nightly

 It must have been a dream, 

I saw you sitting there and laughing,

it seemed so very real 

the way we touched so heavenly. 

Somewhere in that moment 

we held each other tight, 

heart and soul interlocked 

replacing the wrong with a right. 

I didn't want to wake up 

to  see it all disappear,

so I held my eyes closed tightly

as if you were really here.

There was peace in the moment

though short the time we shared, 

I had a taste of happiness 

when the dream brought you here. 

Can't wait for the moment 

to close my eyes and sleep, 

just to once more see you 

in my nightly dreams. 

I Miss You More

 As time passes before me,

while watching the sun rise, 

your voice can be heard 

even though its frozen in time. 

I imagined us young, running

hand in hand through the sand,

feeling the warmth of the sun 

as if our love had demands. 

I promised forever 

beyond this early time, 

that i would always  love you

and you would always be mine.

Spring

 I took the first of a Spring walk,

wasn't the same without our talk,

I'd trade it all to hear one hello

I'd make sure I wouldn't let you go.

The sky above just didn't have that hue,

the kind of blue that says " I love you"

times a chasing and I can't get away 

 from the years of our yesterdays. 

Remember You

 I'll remember you for all of life, 

when I wake up to the sunrise.

I'll remember you all night long

as if  I'm listening to a love song. 

From the moment the stars shine

till the end of this earthly time, 

I'll remember you the way you were

by writing daily our story in words.

There is no stopping the way I feel

you had that way of making hearts stand still,

I'll remember your words of sweet

the one's that lifted me off my feet. 

I want the whole world to know

that love like ours in the heavens flow,

magical in its very own way 

that I document it to this very day. 

There is no missing you that is true

love like ours rules the heavens blue, 

took forever and made it yours and mine,

like a poet leaves and ever lasting rhyme. 

Friday Thoughts

 Of all the chapters in my life, 

there is one where I laughed, lived and loved. 

~

There are two sides to a coin

but I can only see one side.

~

It might be a bit selfish 

but I wouldn't take back any second.

~

To know magic 

is to experience it first hand.

~

Like the daffodils stretching out through the snow,

life is a struggle but it's worth it. 

 

~

Rivers Run Dry

 I've said goodbye 

so many times before,

but nothing hurt as bad 

as when you closed the door.

I felt the pain of losing

in this game they call life, 

when I took to the clouds 

and nothing felt right. 

March Winds

 Pining over the years 

wishing you were mine, 

I've wasted a lot of years

and lost track of time. 

Wanting the happiness

I shared sweetly with you, 

instead the walls of hell 

wouldn't let me through.

I thought it might be choice 

that led me down this path, 

but i think it was circumstance

that stood to take the last laugh.

~

The wind through the hollow

howls in an eerie way, 

leading me to wonder about that day,

I stood their and watched you walk away.

I never thought any tears were left to fall

but each one is a reminder we are mortal.

We all have a place and a time in it all

as the end will come and we'll pass when

God calls. 

..and the snow falls

Screams in silence.

~

Every road circles back. 

~

Temporarily holding a hand sets one up for failure.

~

It's a case of it is what it is...

~

More than a thousand deaths.

~

It's a Gulliver travel moment all over again.

~

I have been down this road, 

I've seen this outcome before, 

as the tears roll down my cheek

and end reveals itself like closing

the door.

I tried to wipe away tears,

to forget what you meant to me, 

like rain they kept on falling, 

each filled with a memory. 

 

I woke up to the song bird at my window

he brought a little sunshine to my day, 

whistling a song from the tree branch

as he stirred the sweetest memories in me.

I smiled as if the world knew my secrets,

of the joy you and I shared each day.

My eyes could not contain the excitement

as they sparkled in a playful way. 

The distance faded away between us 

as the love flowed from my heart, 

at that moment I knew the truth

that our souls would never ever part. 

Rhyme

 The full moon leads the way

through another passing day, 

as I gaze up at the night stars 

I realized how we drifted afar. 

Like a chapter in a book

every page has been turned,

I wondered is this a beginning

or just the lead to an end.

Closing my eyes to sleep 

brings dream filled memories,

surreal as they can be 

they complete the feelings in me.

It is not that I fear

what we have not yet shared.

my worries are based on time

it's like running out of rhyme.

Moment in Time

 I had a moment 

to live and breathe,

to feel the experience

like the wind to my cheek. 

Snapping the photo's 

one comes to mind, 

where I felt the energy

that passed between you and I.

Explored

 If the words fall on my ears alone 

and the wind silently stands still, 

the soul will search blindly 

to replicate the feelings of 

forevermore.

The emotions are inlayed deeply,

but no tears from these eyes will fall,

for the memories will suddenly surface 

as if they are the first time to be explored.

Immersed in the Joy of Love

 The song spun the memories, 

the dream that made them real 

and grateful was I for the moment 

as if time quietly stood still.

I felt the joy and happiness

that only love can bring, 

realizing at that moment

you are forever a part of me. 

The tomorrow doesn't matter

for yesterday is done, 

and the story has been written 

immersed in the joy of love. 

Sweet Love

 The words bring me peace

soothing this heart of mine, 

taking me to another place

and to another time. 

They place me in your arms

as they place you in my heart, 

simple words of sweet love

uniting two souls from a far. 

Story

 You labeled that star 

placed your love in my heart.

~

All the goodbyes can never prepare

for the feelings of emptiness that I feel here.

~

I hold onto the warmth of love

emerging in the dance up above, 

from the moment you said hello

something inside me couldn't let go. 

The mind and the heart battle

as one tries to hold on to the ever after.

But you know and I know the story 

and this one doesn't end in happiness and

laughter. 

Embraces In A dance

 Just a dream or a thought

and a memory or naught, 

from the moment I wake

the day makes a play. 

Skies are a baby blue and

they make me think of you,

as I tightly close my eyes  

you take over my mind. 

Embraces in a dance 

was this moment by chance,

that we might accidently meet 

and you'd sweep me off my feet.

 

Music

 The music bridged the distance,

as the words lifted the soul 

and there within the moment

I felt the magic in the air. 

The warmth of spirit

the connection between two souls, 

a road that leads me to you

as the journey unfolds. 

Embracing the love 

thankful for the moment, 

whispering to the heavens

of what we shared. 

Tonight

I felt the moment 

with a chill to the soul, 

as I lie here thinking 

allowing my heart to feel.

As if it were magic 

the cloud disappeared 

and through the darkness

a light appeared. 

The crest of the morning moon

and the rise of the sun, 

brought an acknowledgement 

that all is far from done. 

Leaving behind feelings of despair

my body alone but my spirit is there, 

soaring mountains and bridging seas,

uniting with love on a passing memory.

Wednesday

 Running and running 

but my feet are standing still, 

trying to get away but I am

always at the bottom of a hill. 

The feelings are overwhelming, 

and there is little I can do, 

as I close my eyes and it's 

always me and you. 

I find myself envisioning 

the way life should be, 

simple and uncomplicated

more like a dream. 

~

Every thought of you 

and there falls a tear, 

a sadness that simply

won't go away. 

Through tears I still see

the first moment we shared, 

as if I were standing in the rain

and you were standing here.

Road

 I was driving down the road,

with tears flowing from my eyes, 

where I came to the crossroads,

I didn't know which way to go. 

Empowered by the moment,

the road seems to open wide, 

and yet I chose the dead end

circling back knowing what I'd

find.

It is not about comfort,

no peace waiting at the door,

the familiarity that is spoken

relies on what is in store. 

Fear makes a judgment call, 

directs us on which way to go.

From the start our journey is written

and from that the experience is known.

One hurdle too many, 

the obstacles still stand in the way, 

maybe the story is finished as

we say goodbye to yesterday.

Calm

 I gazed out the window

at the morning moon, 

still hanging around 

in the sky of blue. 

It challenged my thoughts, 

shrinking the world, 

as the one heaven above us 

made the moment stand still. 

Kisses good morning 

directly from me to you, 

as the joy of love 

comes shining on through.

Tomorrow might not be the same

but here in my heart it's another day, 

from the moment I wake up thinking of you

a feeling of love calms me through and through.

Like The First

 Songs can date a year, 

with a simple tune, 

the music to my ears

often bring you here.

The sweetest melodies

haunt my memories, 

as time quickly passes on 

I find myself lost in a song.

Filed secretly a way, 

I keep to this day, 

all the things I felt

and the joy that never fades.

~

I captured a moment,

held on to the dream,

felt the magic that only,

love can bring. 

Smiles still appear, 

when I think about

the days when you 

were here. 

~

Life is but hurdles, 

a few I'd rather not jumped,

but if I had the choice again

the path to you I'd take.

 Documented like a memory,

to both my heart and soul. 

the experience of love 

has a forever hold. 

I thought it a bit strange

as I just couldn't let it go, 

each moment that I shared with you

felt like that first fallen snow. 

Adieu

 The Willow is weak,

and the oak tree falls 

but I still have memories

of it all. 

Like the rain on a sunny day

creates a rainbow to fade, 

skies no longer blue 

secretly whisper adieu.

Willow's Wood

No more laughter, 

no more song and

no more dreams 

that I'm in your arms. 

Giving up or giving in,

it's a strange way to live.

From this moment on I'm

gonna try to right the wrong.

No blue birds for me, 

just a finch perched on the tree, 

reminder of a day long gone 

as it chirps its morning song. 

Snowflakes falling with a breeze,

stirring up some old memories.

From that very first hello 

I never truly ever let you go. 

Wishing thinking at its best

hoping I could handle the test.

I wanted a little bit more but

reality had something else in store.

Waking up to your kisses sweet

and lying in your arms like a dream, 

somethings are not meant to be 

like the love cast to eternity. 

One side of this silly game

made a pawn of me to this very day, 

tried and tried as much as I could, 

but the truth is in the willow's wood. 

No Pinching In this Dream

 I woke up to the dream 

that brought you to me, 

amazing as it seems 

I stumbled on reality. 

I could feel your arms 

in a cloud like embrace,

as our lips came together

and our hearts quickly raced.

I wanted to stay forever, 

to live within that dream.

Take a trade out on tomorrow,

and no longer live on memories.

Strange as it may sound,

I could hear your voice.

As if the heavens above us

took my soul to toy. 

The tears once more fallen

are rolling down my cheek, 

as I felt the full breast of emotions 

that made my knees wobbly weak. 

The Voice of the Heart

You can't let the evil surface, 

no pain to allow in your heart.

Remember our souls are one 

united for what it's worth. 

I'll meet you in the heavens, 

in an embrace of true love. 

From that moment we met 

I knew that we were truly one. 

How is it my feet are running while standing still, 

trying to get away so this heart of my can no longer feel. 

No one can speak for you, certainly I won't try to do that, 

I only know what's in my heart as I made with you a pack.

You might say I was foolish for the promise's I made, 

but one thing you can count on are the words of the day. 

Our time is brief on this place planet we call earth, 

but the love eternal has an everlasting worth. 

~

I whispered to the wind

to blow my love your way, 

with a kiss against your cheek

as a reminder of that day. 

I barter with the rain 

may it touch you in away, 

that awakens your spirit

in a loving kind of way. 

The world is filled with sadness

as if the devil has won, 

that is why I spend my days

dreaming of where I belong. 

Listen to the silence. 

Hear my words from above, 

they were given to you, 

like heavens gave to me your love.

It's not a matter of can't. 

it's the won't that doesn't let go, 

I refuse to say goodbye.

and let the darkness show.

~

Look on a head 

and never back, 

this train has 

jumped the track. 

Doesn't matter 

where we go, 

there is always 

one new road. 

 Another day, 

one more look, 

turn the page, 

close the book.

Alternate Endings

 Alternate endings, 

I reviewed them many times,

considering the choices 

redirecting this life. 

Woulda, coulda, shoulda

is foolishness at its best, 

for the path was laid before us

and we put to the test. 

The moments are quite clear, 

clearer with each passing day, 

as I can see you before me

as if I was back in yesterday. 

I failed to let it go 

the dreams that hold me here, 

even though I am grateful,

for the time we had to share. 

I'll whisper to the night 

knowing my stars are yours 

in hoping they shine down on you

with a kiss from one who cares. 

Maybe I was deceived, 

I thought I understood, 

but I failed to recognize,

where time no longer stood. 

Beautiful Day

 I've danced in the rain without you, 

and I ran barefoot through the snow, 

I've lived and loved and laughed in 

away that only dreamers can do. 

I'm grateful for each moment,

the experiences that knocked at my door, 

I might have chosen a different path but

the chapter of you and I would have been no

more. 

I wake up in the morning, 

to watch as the sun rises, 

with thoughts of happiness

flooding in my mind. 

There is a lot of negativities,

it throws the world out of kilter,

but I merely think of you and 

my life becomes balanced once 

more. 

Two arms to hold you,

my lips to yours a sweet kiss, 

as I close my eyes and see clearly

what I've have certainly missed. 

I might have been guilty of

living my life on a dream, 

but I rather enjoy the experience

that only two souls united bring. 

One Day

 I thought it was destiny 

and maybe fate had a say,  

but the choice is all up to us

in the decisions we make. 

The journey is in the final quarter 

and I'd trade it all for just one day, 

to look into those eyes of yours 

as you kiss my tears away. 

Blah blah

 How is it the same experience takes on a different view? Throughout the years it went from sunny skies to grey and blue. I might have known from the start, but the foolishness of views was seen from the heart. I reached out each night to you, wishing and a wanting for you to be reaching out too. It might have been the time and place that wrote the chapter where souls would grace. I thought about each moment over and over again, hoping my inner spirit would soon be on the mend. There might have been a lesson or two, entwined into the story between me and you. From happiness to tears, to the long-forgotten years, the road that lay before us found a fork in the center of the road. Hello and goodbye broke my heart in two as I gave up on hope and the day anew. This path lay before me by someone or something other than me. I tr tied to change it but emotions blocked what I could see. 

The shield is bigger.

the pain has lessened so, 

as I stopped feeling

when you let go. 

I'll never feel the same, 

the emotion has no rule, 

the energy has faded. 

and no longer has a hold. 

I thought I must be kidding, 

as I still feel a pain

an ache where the heart

remembers your game. 

 

Surrendered

 I surrendered to the dreams.

forgetting all the possibilities, 

the days were always numbered,

which are wasted on foolish love. 

I don't know what you felt, 

but you made my heart melt, 

silly as it all may truly be, 

my wants battled my needs. 

I wanted to make you smile, 

to journey with you on these miles, 

but the loneliness quickly appeared, 

and I found myself alone and standing here. 

Chapter by chapter each day 

from the heavens they came,

documenting how I feel 

who's turning this wheel?

Connection

I watched the sunrise, 

felt the breeze across my face, 

as I slipped into the moment 

of that one certain day. 

There is a peace I feel, 

in this connection to you.

The mix of belonging and

a freedom soaring the blue. 

Nothing can replace, 

the warm feelings inside 

as I tried to erase the years

from my mind. 

I keep coming back, 

to what feels so right, 

and that is the joy 

of having you in my life. 

The World

 The world became a little nicer

and the dreams a whole lot sweet, 

when the blue bird of happiness 

appeared and began to sing. 

My heart began to flutter as the

memories toyed with my mind, 

bringing the visuals of yesterday

and refreshing them over time. 

Living in a Dream

 I will always love you, 

no matter where you are.

You have taken a part of me,

for you now have my heart. 

The stars belong to you and me, 

as I gaze upon the heavens high

the memories toy in away

that never leaves my mind. 

The days are numbered, 

they were from the start.

I go about documenting, 

the magic from afar. 

I imagine your kiss,

sweet to my lips

as if you were here,

to experience the bliss.

I am most certain, 

this time on earth

is just the beginning,

as eternity is birthed.

I'll see you one day,

and you will understand.

Our souls will come together,

as if some unwritten plan. 

The evils of the world

have simply faded away, 

as I write the words of love

empowering a new day.

There is something peaceful, 

in this strange connection 

between you and me

as I close my eyes and fall asleep. 

I can actually see you here,

and feel your tenderness.  

it brings a certain joy,  

with every dream like kiss. 

I must say goodnight to you, 

holding your hand as lovers do. 

I want you to know how much I care, 

that is why my pillow is here to share.

I could live this dream forever and a day, 

to make you feel my love in our own special way.

I close my eyes and I am almost there, 

to share the magic of love without fear. 

Another Day with you on my mind...

To that place in the sky, 

cloud dancing with you, 

doing what lovers do

in those arms of yours. 

Can't wait to dream, 

I close my eyes once more,

and allow my hands to explore

in this dream world of ours.

There is a calm and peace

when you are here with me, 

the days are passing by

but you're mine for all of time.

In my heart is where you'll be,

we bridged across eternity. 

From that very first hello 

there was no letting go. 

moments in a day

 Poetry is the song of the heart 

scripted by the soul.

~

Living in a dream...

~

Writing is freedom

~

Like the songbird who lost the gift to sing, 

open up the door and let the songbird free. 

Yesterday thoughts that become. 

tomorrow's actions. 

Always and ...

 Dancing under the stars, 

spinning around in your arms, 

from the moment of hello

It was you and me alone. 

Watch that comet shooting by 

like the sparkles in my eyes, 

when I am there with you 

this dream makes one out of two. 

Perfect as love can be,

it is created from memory.

Every thought that I have 

is filled with happiness. 

In my heart you'll be

for all of eternity, 

I take your love with me.

it's pure harmony. 

Lovers

 The center of my being, 

controlling every thought, 

scripting the words of love 

in a world like Camelot.

Lost in the dream

with you alone I share, 

a visual so in depth

the experience free of fear.

Pulled in deeply 

like a fox in his burrow,

I feel your arms in a place

where only lovers go. 

 

 

Just us two

 One each day 

is a promise away, 

documenting the emotions

you stir from inside.

Like rivers to oceans and

the mountains to the sky,

 your soul is connected

as one with mine. 

The darkness away

as the moon shines bright

a reminder from the heavens

what blankets you and me. 

Whatever you are doing

and wherever you go, 

you'll never be far 

on this love paved road.

Here in my heart 

that's where you'll stay,

more than a thought

that never fades.

I conclude the obvious is true

as I gaze upon the heavens

and the star light shines through

the endless love from me and you. 

Bobby Darin - More (Ti guardero nel cuore) - 1962

Smile

Simply a Sin

There is a dusting of snow

a frozen river without flow,

the mountain stands in silence

as the secrets won't let go. 

There is beauty in the memories

and in the joy, we both share,

the years have quickly passed

but the love still remains here.

I'd let it go if that is what it took

but somehow this was written in the book,

I took the challenge and life led me back,

that is the magic that put us on this path.

~

Tormented emotions,

and a troubled soul 

to not recognize

when love unfolds.

 

You turned around

and walked away, 

you didn't have 

what it took to give 

me a wave.

I tried to let it go

but there is more to know,

happiness comes from within

to not share it in is simply a sin.

`

The words are written 

documented in away, 

to celebrate the love 

sent in a special way.

Time is passing 

and I'll be gone, 

but the words of love

will forever go on. 

Da da da I sing a song

putting music to the words

as my heart for you longs, 

da da da I'm singing our song. 

Racing

 My heart is racing 

as I awoke from the dream, 

there we shared a moment

that seem a bit confusing. 

Surreal as a dream can be

I wasn't sure what it meant,

were these message of love 

from emotions yet spent.

Excited as I can be 

just to feel you here,

in this land of dreams

I'm living without a care.

  I wasn't certain

that you wanted me here,

when a gambit of emotion 

evidently appeared. 

Happy and excited

my heart couldn't slow down, 

as I awoke from the dream

with my feet off the ground.

Foolish Dreams

 Another dream so vivid and clear

as if you were certainly here, 

I felt your kisses, heard your voice

as the dream brought this moment to 

life. 

I can't fall asleep 

my head hurts as I think, 

I write to run away 

guided to your arms each day.

It doesn't need to rhyme

no rules to keep in line,

all that's needed is time

like a good bottle of wine. 

Another day, another year

in hopes that you'd be here, 

but somethings aren't meant to be

anything but foolish dreams.
