Indulging my most lucid daydreams

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.
