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.
