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?
