 When the day is done and no tomorrows await, 

all that will really matter is the love that never fades.

for you are never ever far, you are here in my heart

and the words will document like heaven's stars.

The visuals dance wildly in my mind and

the moments shared are always on rewind,

from  the days of long ago I just want you to know

that our love has never ever let go.

Like a song of love spinning on replay

the happiness is the gift that you gave,

eternity has spoken and our place reserved

as the love between us is well deserved.

I hold your love deep within me

like a sweet embrace of eternity,

1964 HITS ARCHIVE: See The Funny Little Clown - Bobby Goldsboro

For you, because of you, with you ... I love you

 I could never forget you even if I tried, 

you are here in my heart both day and night.

The rivers can't part us, the mountains to high,

I'm hold your hand for the rest of our lives. 

I feel your tenderness as sweet as can be, 

from the moment your kisses touch me. 

They bring joy to comfort my soul,

like a message from the heavens our love 

unfolds. 

Close and closer it's warming up now

as your flesh to mine gives me a smile,

my heart racing as it usually does 

when I think of you and this special love.

I am working on pleasure 

to please you all of time, 

to give you my love 

like a well written rhyme. 

When I hear your voice

my heart races so, 

with every thought of you

I just can't let go. 

I'll whisper so only you can hear

the words of love that only lovers share.

right there with you, tight in your arms 

good night my love I am never far. 

The Irony

 If it weren't for chapters 

   life would be a short book. 

 

Life is like standing in every corner of the room,

each comes with a different view.

My head hurts...

I stopped dancing,

as sadness appeared,

when I thought of you

and the time we shared.

Was it a page, a chapter or two

or was it a book of loving you?

I've spent a lifetime trying to explain

the choices that seemed like a game.

Falling into a foolish trap

as if the world had the last laugh,

the emotions that have a hold

continuously unfold. 

 

In a Kiss

 It's my imagination that takes me on a ride, 

with my eyes tightly closed you are by myside.

If I stopped what one could only fantasize 

I'd still have you in my heart for the rest of my life.

The memories bring love and joy 

even if those moments to my soul toy.

My hand upon my cheek felt the softness of flesh

as I went about daydreaming of our lips in a kiss.

Jessie Belvin - Goodnight My Love

Rambling words

 It's nothing more than dreams

like rainbows fading from the sky, 

I couldn't tell if it was real 

or if you played with my mind. 

The pages had all been written

chapter upon chapter a book of time,

the scars in my heart had all been earned,

a reminder of those days of you and I. 

I reached on out into the darkness

and imagining you are there, 

as if I could feel your love

and that is all it would take to share.

Pulling the blanket over me

my eyes closed as tight as can be,

and there in my minds eye 

is how I imagined life could be. 

Mirrored Reflection

 I'm just a dream away from you...

~

Holding on to that passing cloud.

~

2 week vacation to free my mind.

~

Fleeting moments..

~

What I would do different...not enough time to write it down.

~

Ya gotta love what's looking back.

~

Love and Hate are so close...

~

With one mere thought I can find my way to you.

~

Believe what you will but I never stopped ....

~

Doris Day - "The Very Thought Of You" from Young Man With A Horn (1950)

Nat King Cole - The Very Thought Of You (Lyric Video)

Screams in Silence

 ...

Imagine your heart...

 You're just a dream away and it's

 how I end each and every day, 

consumed by thoughts of you

makes the darkness fade. 

The chill of the night 

causes a quiver to my soul, 

as I reach on out to you 

through the dreams yet told. 

Imagine your heart to mine

the warmth can't be described,

and I find myself in the moment

where dreams place your hand in 

mine.

Song Bird No Longer Sings

 

I woke to a morning in silence,

no whispers heard from the hills.

It's as if the fox was sitting in waiting

and everything was unusually still. 

The sun is shining through the trees

the leaves are shades of red and gold.

Even the dog lay here sleeping 

as the day anew begins to unfold.

The season has begun to change

as everything prepares for winter sleep,

the chill of the mornings is setting in 

and the song bird no longer sings. 

-

I can't go living on dreams,

it's the only the way to see you.

From morning to night I spend

my time just thinking of  you. 

I can't go living on dreams,

it just means what it means. 

A lifetime has passed me by 

with no remedy in sight.

t

Gone

 You can't break what's already been broken

the pieces scattered like leaves in the wind. 

Time can't replace the void that remains,

the emptiness inside took over my mind. 

There is no feeling the sorrow in a song

emotions no longer sense the right and wrong.

I have come to accept the forever loneness

admitting to myself that you are gone. 

Simplicity

 Simple kisses, gentle and kind, 

the sweetness of your lips to mine. 

Waking up just to fall asleep 

in your arms is where I'll be.

One moment of time 

is all I need to make you mine, 

fluffing pillow, closing eyes

and there I see you in my mind.

Call it wishes or dreams

created from sweet memories.

The warmth of soul to soul 

has a forever hold. 

~

To the clouds in the heavens,

in a dream come true, 

I find the magic is simply

in loving you. 

To the clouds in the heavens

in a dream come true, 

the warmth I feel is being

next to you. 

To the clouds in the heavens

in a dream come true, 

I find peace in the moment

in the sky so blue.

Time

 In my dream we talked,

seeing you across from me, 

brought a sense of peace

in this dream like reality. 

The mind is at work

and joy is what I found, 

when I felt the magic 

of your unusual spell.  

From the moment the sun

is replaced in the sky , 

the moon light a reminder

how short is time. 

Thousand Deaths

 To part one soul suddenly from another 

is to die a thousand deaths each day,

separated by time and place

life seems to fade away. 

It is not of choice the path was carved,

for the journey of reckon would be long 

worlds apart the evil lurks and there is 

no writing all the wrongs. 

 

No One

 No one can take my dreams away, 

I look forward to them night and day. 

Touches my heart and fills my soul 

with this uncanny kind of hold. 

No one can take my dreams away,

I look forward to them night and day.

I feel your love and see you there

it's the magic we share. No one can

take my dreams away.  

Deep

The hills echo the silence as the

mountains call out your name.

I feel the chill of your absence 

quivers with each passing day.

Years of standing still while running,

to escape what circumstance had chained.

Trying to make sense of this journey 

that somehow is deeply engrained. 

 

Fades Away

 The silence calls my name

and the emptiness is felt, 

like the sorrow from above

when void of your love. 

Closing my eyes

to dream your presence, 

to feel your lips just 

once to mine.

Fading like the stars of the night

when the morning brings the light, 

another day to start in silence

as your image once more fades away.

Changing Of The Season

 My father always said upon leaving " I'll be seeing ya " I never once heard him say good bye. I have come to realize how final a goodbye actually is. With each goodbye the heart aches a little more. It is the changing of the season, dark, gray and a little cooler. I can't help but  think of the people who came into my life and for a moment redirected the path I was on.  I can't help but feel the loss that overwhelms my soul. It's not often I let the tears fall but it reminds me of the poem I wrote many years ago. " The weight of a tear" "as it rolls down my cheek it picks up memories"

New Day

There is a mountain so high

and I  can't see the sky, 

can't see the stars or 

the clouds passing by. 

Surrounded by darkness

the heaviness weighs,

as I look for tomorrow

to start a new day. 

Heart Song

 The song played mellow

the heart string it pulls, 

a reminder of the sorrow

and the void it instills.

The full moon rises 

taking its place up in the sky,

documented journeys 

and the reason I still cry.

Can't change yesterday

those chapters are long gone,

can only write tomorrow

into this foolish heart song.

The Carpenters The End of the world (with lyrics)

The End Of The World - SKEETER DAVIS - With lyrics

My Heart

 Someday when you're old and gray, you will hear me say " I ..." with all my heart.

Mine

 I had fallen into the moment

where dreams take me away, 

to the special place of love 

where I meet you each day.

Incredible the feelings 

that take me by surprise ,

when I open up my eyes

what I see can't be denied.

Stars in the heavens 

the moon bright and full, 

brings you a whole lot closer

as if you have a hold.

I don't know what you are thinking

or if I ever cross your mind, 

there's two sides of a story 

but life is revealing mine. 

One

 Count the stars up in the sky, 

while dreaming of you and I.

From the moment we met 

life as put us to a test.

Time has passed on by

sometimes laughed and cried,

always felt your love 

we are forever one. 

Melt

 Chapters are written

as the dreams reveal, 

the love I have for you

and the magic I feel.

It gets me through the day

as the energy is felt,

warming my heart 

as just a mere thought

cause me to melt.

Cleaning Cobwebs

 Tucked away in a box,

the years had passed on by, 

was a stack of memories

a copy of just one side. 

I put them through the shredder

and only than did I realize,

that I was doing the talking

and no one was by myside.

I felt a loss from deep inside,

for I kept a lost connection 

that toyed with my mind

as the years had passed on by.

There wasn't joy or sorrow

no emotion did I feel 

but the need to document

what within me was instilled.

Grant

 May the stars grant your wishes

and in the dreams find your way, 

I hope that your happiness is

there throughout the days. 

Don't spend a second 

on what might have been, 

keep moving forward

and once more live. 

My love is with you 

no matter where you are, 

whether close as a thought

or the many miles a part.

Life is but chapters 

a story we all tell, 

sometimes it's heaven

and sometimes it's hell.

But one thing I know

certain to be true, 

that love is the answer

and I'll always love you.

I never stopped loving you...

 If tomorrow never finds its way

and this becomes the last of the days,

Know that in my heart it is true,

that I never stopped loving you. 

The dreams take me to that place

where there is crystal and lace,

the memories surface through 

as I never stopped loving you. 

Forever A Dream

 The dream brought you here

as a conversation we shared.

I found myself wanting so,

in the dream I couldn't let go.

Clear as it could be, 

you were sitting next to me.

Call it closure if you will 

or maybe a way to heal. 

I could feel you close

the visuals from my mind arose,

I didn't want to awake 

as the dream held me thru the day.

I'm not listening to the love songs

 Sings 

I'm not listening to the love songs,

I'm not playing them anymore.

I refuse to be reminded 

of when you closed the door. 

My heart fought moving forward

you had me hanging by a thread,

till I came to the conclusion 

that something in my heart was dead.

I'm not feeling any emotion

I've lost the ability to cry.

Maybe I have been hardened

by the years that have gone by.

The endless days were a struggle,

I am sure I never crossed your mind.

The world could have been a whole lot different

if you didn't let go of this hand of mine.

I thought it might have been a chapter

and I just needed to turn the page,

but the truth is in the whole story 

and I need to burn that book of mine. 

Toggled in some sort of limbo

not able to get beyond the past, 

the days were cold and dark

and they were passing awfully fast.

I'm not listening to the love songs,

I'm not playing them anymore.

I refuse to be anchored and

 have my heart begging for more.

In my dreams

 If I whisper do you hear the words

"I love you so" ?

Does the wind know which way 

to blow?

Take to you my love, like a cloud

passing by from above.

Do the clouds take to you 

my love?

The dreams are surreal as they can be

I meet you there nightly.

Do you know the dreams are a pathway

that unite us in its own way?

~

Forever friendship from the heart

is an eternal flame that you sparked.

~

I'm gonna write the words of love

when I'm gone they'll live on. 

The world will soon know

that our love continues to grow. 

I'm gonna sing so that you can hear my song,

with words that will never lead us on. 

For you are mine and I am yours, 

in a song of forevermore. 

~

If I think hard enough 

will you hear? 

The words of love 

that two souls share. 

If I reach in the darkness

to take your hand, 

will you be there 

`

It's that time of night....

My head on the pillow

the dreams begin, 

I see you there and my 

heart starts to spin. 

I could stay forever

if only to please, 

this troubled heart 

on bended knees. 

Screaming in silence

drives be a bit insane, 

as my heart aches 

for just one more day. 

I say to myself

" stop being a fool" 

" why do you let him 

have this hold?"

I can't help it 

your there every night

when I close my eyes

it begins a new life. 

Sweet Forevermore

 

I'm not sure why you said "Hello" 

but I am so glad you didn't go. 

You took my hand , touched my heart

from the very start, I'm glad you didn't go. 

There is an energy between us two, 

it joined my heart and soul to you. 

From that first " Hello" it just seem

to grow and grow, I'm glad you didn't go.

My day and night are thoughts of you,

as if we ruled the heavens blue. 

Over mountains and across the sea

you became my everything, I'm glad you

didn't go. 

~

The moon took its place in the sky

and yet the darkness draped the night.

I closed my eyes and pulled you close to me,

placing your hand in mine for all eternity.

Nothing can separate your heart from mine , 

our souls were joined as one for all of time.

I know whenever our flesh is far apart

our souls unite from afar. 

When I am thinking of your embrace,

with my eyes closed I kiss your face. 

I reach across the mountains with thought

knowing that our beings are never ever lost. 

I'll love you till time no longer exist

as the stars in the heavens will send down my kiss.

You must know our love is forever true

it crosses the mountains and soars the blue. 

When you wake early in the morn

remember I am there with you 

in a magical embrace called

sweet forevermore. 

~

I wanted to run away

to find that special place,

to rid my heart and soul 

of that hold you placed.

It occurred to me

that it isn't just a dream,

our energy is here and

that is what we share. 

I feel you day and night,

you set the path for life.

giving this world of mine

a reason for all time. 

Somehow it is all meant to be,

I don't question wants and needs.

as the tears reveal the tale

and the separation a hell.

Another Day

 I blocked the doors to childhood

couldn't remember even if I tried, 

protecting the soul within, as

tomorrow marches with time. 

I selected the days of joy 

to get me through the day 

it brought only days of sunshine

erasing all the skies of gray.

There is no ache in this heart

maybe it can no longer feel, 

I've distanced from the memories

replacing them with the power of will. 

~

Redirect the journey

 led me right to you, 

I couldn't tell you why

but I woke up in a dream.

Your caring and loving way

might be all that I need, 

as I feel a certain contentment

when you are here with me. 

I thought I would never feel

the love you and I share, 

but each day brings a treasure

from the one who cares. 

~

Everyday a different thought,

whether we are capable or not.  

I look at life from different views,

clouds of gray and summer blue.

Confused with right and wrong

the heart pines and the soul longs.

Trying to fill that hole in side, 

with the foolishness of rhyme. 

Outside my window the song bird sings,

as if he knows the deepest part of me.

All my wants and my needs,

 troubled with years of memories. 

Decisions had all been made 

on both sides of this game,

and heartbreak remains 

to weigh down another day.

Sweet

 Each day brings with it a different perspective on life. I am stronger when I put everything in context and

challenge the emotions that battle to control. Running faster and faster and yet my feet have not yet left

 the ground. 

The sky is so blue

the sun rays shining thru,

a summer day to celebrate

a morning dream come true.

Music fills the air 

a song of love to share, 

maybe this will start anew

the sweet love of two.

You Cared

 Pages in a book,

chapters of a life, 

add up to the stories

of the wrongs and

 the rights.

Sorrow and happiness

but never regrets, 

as we take the best of it

and say goodbye to the rest.

I keep with me the love

the joy that we shared

as those were the days 

when I knew that you cared.

The Buddy Holly Story True Love Ways

Summer

 

In the heat of the summer

I just can't understand, 

why all of my thoughts

you seem to command. 

Try to keep busy 

to not let my mind drift

but some how it happens

because it is you I miss. 

Some people a page

or a chapter or two, 

but you are my forever

a whole book thru and thru. 

It alters my being 

gives life a new meaning,

changed my world 

from the start. 

Blessed

 I watch as my own adult children make mistakes and how I wish I could change their path. It doesn't work that way we each have to travel our own path, make our own mistakes and of course pay the consequence. Unfortunately the error in judgement can last a lifetime. 

Looking back at the choices made, 

I now realize the lessons life gave.

Like a good and bad path of pebbles 

I stumbled like a troubled rebel. 

There is nothing to regret

I am who I am from the test,

maybe it could have been different

but all in all I guess I have been blessed.

Yours and Mine

 At the sound of a love song,

or the wind against my cheek, 

the reminders of love surround

in the most haunting memories. 

I can't think from your side ,

I can only tell you from mine.

My world changed forever

when you touches this heart of mine.

~

Connected by the heavens above us, 

and united by both heart and soul,

from that first hello you had this

uncanny and  kind of mysterious hold.

When time took the reigns on us 

and separated our beings into two,

all I have is the memories 

that on a moment suddenly unfold.

The stars in the heavens are yours and mine, 

one set above us from beginning to the end. 

Lay down beside me and don't ever let go, 

as my love for you is stronger than you know. 

I never understood the why's or even the time, 

for you to touch my soul with this amazing hold. 

If the morning never comes I'll know I've been loved,

that you have changed my life and made things right. 

~

It might have been foolish 

to believe in the dream, 

to imagine you with me

 for all eternity,

Completed my being and

brought a unique way to live,

challenged my soul 

when you took a hold.

I can't shake it

though you know I have tried,

to forget how you 

touched me from inside.

The years have passed

as time will do, 

but it feels like yesterday

when your love shined thru.

 My feelings were in a bit of turmoil 

as I listened to the haunting songs, 

my mind drifted to a time and place

feeling the warmth of your spirit. 

The tears rolled down my cheek 

as I thought of the wasted years.

I closed my eyes and allowed 

my soul to soar beyond this earthly

prison. 

I reached out as if I could feel you

reaching back in some magical way,

as if my thought I could bring you here

and this pillow we would once more share. 

How could silence break all barriers of sound?

Was it the ache within my heart that cried for you?

I stopped for a moment erases these thoughts 

free your mind, hold my hand, soar high above the heavens.

I couldn't move , I lay there still as the night

caught up in some foolish daydream, 

What is it the tempts the heart and soul 

and at the same time pushes it away?

Running, running and my feet have yet to move,

weighted down by my wants and needs.

I stumbled in the darkness 

releasing my inner being through each tear. 

Free me, love me, hold me, don't let go,

can you hear me or is it the silence that rules?

Dreams are the device in which I escape, 

once more if only in my dreams I am laying 

in your arms. 

Wild Rose

The beauty I see in wild roses, 

the warmth of a summer day, 

creates the canvas for love

that I spend dreaming away.

Time to say good night, 

to my pillow I lay my head, 

knowing that we are one 

in this magical kind of love.

 Singing a song, 

what could go wrong,

when my heart pines 

for what I long. 

Beauty when 

I'm with you,

that is the magic 

I feel when loving you.

Simplicity

 Laughter and smiles

unite us across the miles,

the sweetest of memories

and just pure simplicity. 

Spring to summer 

racing fast, 

count the days 

by winter past. 

As long as I 

can hold you close

in my heart 

I won't let go.

~

I close my eyes 

and a chill takes control

as I think of you and I

in a story untold.

It embraces forever

this love of ours

continues to grow

by the hour. 

It wakes me each morning

with sweet thoughts of you,

engaged in the memories

when my soul first met you.

Summertime Memories

There is no room for sadness,

as I'm not looking back, 

like the flowers blooming

today is where its at. 

The seasons are passing

as fast as can be, 

take my hand and 

come with me. 

The summer sun 

trickles through the leaves,

casting beams of light 

that trigger the dreams.

The sky is clearly blue

no clouds in passing 

there is only thoughts 

of me and you. 

Nature's Artwork

 

Nature's Artwork

Watching the wind

dance with the leaves, 

the rain rolling in 

a summer time breeze.

Whispers in silence

from my heart to yours,

a tear has fallen

begging for more. 

Morning Doves

The beauty of nature, 

the magic of dreams, 

when you stop to appreciate 

the sweet memories. 

My reminder....  I have learned to appreciate the good memories and let the bad ones go. To celebrate each day as the gift it is. That we are all on borrowed time and to make the most of the time we have. To travel and see as much of the world as I can. Like the old saying " stop to smell the roses" I want to never forget the beauty of a daisy and the joy that seeing something for the first time brings. That we really are as young as we feel. That my truest of friend has never left my side and is always just a text away. That I still get excited with a mere conversation. You don't need a lot of friends one or two good ones are like anchors on a boat that keep ya from drifting. I realized writing is my connection to you as long I can document a thought, feeling or emotion you are right here with me. Dreams can be scary and the subconscious is powerful. I don't regret anything, I am who I am with you, without you and because of you. I feel beautiful when I see myself through your eyes, for some reason it truly alters my physical and mental being. Simple things like a song, an email, the wind brushing up against my face. the warmth of the sun, the rain at night always leads me into your arms. Everything is part of a plan and though it might be redirected by our choices, we always end up where we were truly meant to be. I'll never stop appreciating the experience, those who cross our path, as everything we do becomes a part of who we are. In all reality we can never part because you are always in my heart, right next to my soul forever a part of who I am. I love you. 

Magical Dreams

 

I walked through the gardens as the flowers bloomed and all of  my thoughts rushed to you. There is so much beauty to be found but nothing as amazing as the love you and I found.

~

I can make it through the day

 as I go about redreaming. 

There is  something in the way

 I felt you next to me. 

It gave my life meaning 

as  I felt your lips to mine 

so I go about redreaming 

of that special time. 

~

I took a walk down the road, 

simplicity right in front of my nose.

I imagined you holding my hand

and my heart melted right there where

I stand.

There are many a stories with and ending to tell. With words of love that cast over us with a spell. No matter the darkness that comes with the night, there will always be sunshine in my heart for life.Somehow a long time ago I was privileged to find a love that within my heart grows. There are many a stories that come to and end but our story is everlasting with a quirky bend. My thoughts are consumed with you as I whisper the words that I'll always love you. We must go on living , we can't stop now. There is a lot to do and do it with a smile. I'll make it work that's what I'll do, as long as your love keep shining thru. 

~

It was a magical dream

it brought you here to me, 

with a wonderful kiss that

woke me up with a smile.

I could sense your whole being,

all that makes you who you are, 

your touch from the heavens 

placed me high up in the stars. 

No matter where we go,

we are never, ever far apart

you're right here , right here

deep in the center of my heart.

Sings...I felt your lips 

when yours met mine, 

a sweet and loving kiss

that crosses time. 

The thrill within me 

will never fade away 

as I found out this morning

our love is here to stay. 

I'd sleep forever 

if forever makes you mine, 

just to dream once more 

the interlocking of hearts

and minds. 

~

What ya gonna do when the clouds come round? 

What ya gonna do when the rain comes down?

I gonna ride that cloud when it come around, 

kiss your lips when the rains come down.

What ya gonna do when the night sky rules?

What ya gonna do when you are growing old?

I gonna dream all night about you,

feel your love like lovers do. 

...but you

 The sun has gone down 

and the moon takes it place in the sky, 

I sat there on the porch swing watching

fire flies flying to the trees at night.

My mind does like it does everyday

drifting to you in the usual way.

I imagined sitting here with you,

sharing in a drink between us two.

One thing I know for certain

my life would never be the same,

as you have changed my world 

from that very first day.

There is something amazing

that I can't quite explain, 

but it has to do with how you

touched my world each day.

Uncanny

 It was uncanny how the wind gently performed a dance with one leaf of a pond iris. The leaf gracefully swayed back and forth while  everything else stood still. The rays of the sun could be seen reflecting off the water as it all seem to come together in one of natures very own ballets.  It was at this very moment that I realized how fortunate I am to be part of this wonderful world.  It is the beauty of the season and the memories of you coming together that compliment  the moment. 

Flowers in the wind

the summer just begins, 

thinking of you and I 

as I gaze up at the blue sky.

Traveling thru time 

it all feels like a rhyme, 

documenting the journey

no regrets, what will be, will be.

I Love You

 I have learned to appreciate the good memories and let the bad ones go. To celebrate each day as the gift it is. That we are all on borrowed time and to make the most of the time we have. To travel and see as much of the world as I can. Like the old saying " stop to smell the roses" I want to never forget the beauty of a daisy and the joy that seeing something for the first time brings. That we really are as young as we feel. That my truest of friend has never left my side and is always just a text away. That I still get excited with a mere conversation. You don't need a lot of friends one or two good ones are like anchors on a boat that keep ya from drifting. I realized writing is my connection to you as long I can document a thought, feeling or emotion you are right here with me. Dreams can be scary and the subconscious is powerful. I don't regret anything, I am who I am with you, without you and because of you. I feel beautiful when I see myself through your eyes, for some reason it truly alters my physical and mental being. Simple things like a song, an email, the wind brushing up against my face. the warmth of the sun, the rain at night always leads me into your arms. Everything is part of a plan and though it might be redirected by our choices, we always end up where we were truly meant to be. I'll never stop appreciating the experience, those who cross our path, as everything we do becomes a part of who we are. In all reality we can never part because you are always in my heart, right next to my soul forever a part of who I am. I love you. 

The Great Escape

 Trying to free the mind, 

I take to the heavens high, 

the dance between us two

where you are truly mine.

I sense your being 

it brings my soul to life, 

if only that I'm daydreaming

it makes this life feel right.

The skies were never so blue,

that is how I feel with you.

Walking through the day 

holding your hand all the way.

From the moment I wake up

till the moon shines above,

I'll be there with you 

forever has a place for two.

My great escape 

free's this restless heart of mine,

through a mere memory 

I'm free to love you more. 

The Morning Tears

I felt the sadness,

the ache from inside,

as I've said goodbye 

way too many times. 

I tried to understand

was this some great plan,

and I was just a pawn

in some silly love song. 

I walked on outside

the sun was shining bright

the flowers chased the seasons

and the sky was still blue. 

I thought about the moment

I woke up in tears and 

as the day moved on 

I realized what was gone. 

Lost in the yesterdays

swimming in the tears,

until I took to the kitchen

and danced as if you were here.

Suddenly the world changed

it wasn't hello or goodbye, 

the feeling that came over

was your love which I hold 

inside.

I believe by Tom Jones with lyrics

Test

 I wanted to leave the words

that would cross the bridge of time,

something so darn special 

that are only yours and mine. 

I wrote the words every day 

in a combination of ways, 

to honor our sweet love 

in a unique kind of way.

From that first hello

something changed in me,

the beginning and a end

to what was meant to be.

Joy and happiness from inside

told the story of you and I. 

One star above us and one dream left behind

becomes a reminder that anchored time.

When the days come to and end

and nothing else is left, 

the story of our love 

will put eternity to the test.

 Triggers the memories

they're amazing at that, 

from day one onward

love filled laughs.

I'll never forget

whatever we do, 

I'm looking forward

..................

Tra La la

 I want you and need you

as I love you so true,

my darling, sweetheart

there is just me and you.

You're the joy in my heart

the magic so real, 

as I feel the warmth 

that makes hearts stand still.

YOu

 I feel the love 

and the joy you bring, 

I feel the happiness

conjured up in my dreams.

I know what I've have felt

when you made my heart melt. 

There are somethings that weren't quite right

but you showed the way with the brightest of light.

Fate

 It's that gentle touch, 

the smile that means so much.

The sweet love of two 

that brought me to you.

I experienced the joy

without being coy, 

when our souls had met

fate had won the bet. 

My Magnet and Your Steel

I do believe there is a love

a pure and sweet kind of love, 

I embrace the two as one

my sweetheart kind of love. 

Drawn so close to you 

my magnet that's what you do, 

unable to set a part because

you're anchored to my heart. 

I'll be your steel for all time and

you'll be my magnet beyond this life,

my yesterday and today, 

your the magic that never fades. 

This Heart OF Mine

 Is there a world beyond this nightmare? 

Will the days of sorrow ever end? 

Time has not softened the memories

they've only hardened my heart from 

within. 

I called out your name in the darkness,

hoping that some how you could respond.

But wishes are simply just wishes 

and the silence never ever ends. 

I try to not dwell on yesterday

to move forward in everyway.

But it seems that even in my travels

my mind can't get away.

I thought tears could no longer fall,

that I wouldn't miss you so, 

but my love for you is eternal

and I will never let you go.

Is there a world beyond this nightmare?

Will the days of sorrow ever end?

Time has not softened the memories, 

They've only harden this heart of 

mine from within. 

xox

 It's those simple things, 

I capture by dreams, 

waking up to you 

under skies of blue. 

Oh what I wouldn't do

to be there next to you, 

to hold your hand tight

from morning to night. 

Time has passed us by

like messing with the mind,

wanting so much more

than I have had before. 

Those simple things 

I capture in my dreams, 

a sweet and tender kiss

from lips to lips. 

Al Di La

Thoughts of You

 Surprises that make your heart beat a little faster. 

~

Thinking of you...smiles, laughs and feels complete joy.

~

Spring , where the rain awakens the flowers , like your memory awakens my sleeping soul.

~

Kissing Under the Moonlight

 Kissing under the moonlight 

and living for the dream

thinking nightly about you

half based on sweet memory.

Calm that can't be explained

 on a road very few travel, 

where the heart overrides

what the mind knows to be true.

My Mind

 I woke up in this dream 

as I know it from memory, 

I am there in your arms 

like the way you're in my heart.

It is a song that had been sung

in a universal way called love, 

the words all sound the same

maybe because it's a game. 

The moment is almost here, 

I'll close my eyes and see you there.

Taking a bit of you and I 

to build this world in my mind. 

Keep Busy

 Gotta keep busy,

to keep you off my mind.

Keep on looking forward,

no longer back in time. 

Gotta let it go and

free this soul of mine.

There are a lot of ways to imprison,

when messing with the mind.

I'm taking control and not letting go,

no longer letting emotions to flow.

Just like the waters current is fast

and other times it trickles as the 

journey is vast. 

Sings...

I could say goodbye a million times, 

but some how you never leave my mine.

writing " The End" on our story 

has no place in this book. 

I tried to turn away 

to look beyond yesterday, 

but I find that I always 

come back to you.

I could say goodbye a million times

but somehow you never leave my mine. 

You are always here with me

in all my nightly dreams. 

~

 Don't take my love and abuse it, 

I won't allow you to just use it, 

don't ya know what it means to me

it's not simply a foolish dream. 

Don't take  my love and abuse it,

I won't allow you to just use it, 

it comes from within my heart 

and it's been there from the start. 

Don't take my love and abuse it,

I won't allow you to just use it,

I'd rather you walk away than

to allow the pain inside me to stay. 

Don't take my love and abuse it

I won't allow you to just use it,

~

I don't care what you say

and I don't care what you do, 

all I know is that I love you 

and time has nothing on me and you.

I don't care where the road leads

or if circles me back to here, 

as long as you are in my heart

I'll be living in every word I share.

I don't care what you say 

adn I don't care what you do, 

all I know is that I love you

and time has nothing on me and you.

 When I need to see you here, 

I close my eyes and there you are. 

Comforting in so many ways, 

the visuals are always so clear. 

I feel you in the touch of the wind

there is never  a stories end, 

for you are here in my heart

where you've been from the start. 

When I hear your voice 

like a song it always toys, 

messing with this heart of mine

it stops the hands of time. 

No matter where we go

what we do or what we know, 

there will always be a place

in heavens space. 

Singing sweet words of love

bring you so near to me, 

once more I close my eyes

to see you there in my dreams.

~

I feel your presence around me

as your laughter haunts the night,

touching me in this most unique way

I think the Lord has given me sight.

The gifts of life only foretell of a

forever love and a magical spell,

that cast a light upon you and I

in a story that we have yet to tell.

The whispers from my lips

come to you through each kiss,

to remind you of a love 

that the soul can't dismiss. 

It's some kind of dream 

where I can't let you go, 

the feelings inside of me, 

continue to grow. 

I'm reaching in the dark

wishing you were here, 

taking my hand in yours

as in your eyes I stare. 

~

This must be memories

that haunt the night, 

messing with my heart

bringing visions to life. 

I don't think it's quite fair

these feelings that I have, 

as I imagine you must 

be having the last laugh.

The dreams are awfully sweet, 

I just can't let them go, 

I review them all the time 

in gratitude of a moment 

when you were mine.

Someday When You are Old and Gray

All you need to know

is written upon the heavens, 

I can't deny that you'll

always be mine. 

Whispers to the wind

no loneliness for you and I,

we'll never be alone 

forever is the way our love

goes.

Tears might certainly fall

but sadness is not in them at all,

Happiness and joy is what this 

heart of mine employs.

Sings>I  held on to the dream

watched as time went by,

hoping it was certainly true, 

that it was always you. 

You lit up the night

gave the stars a meaning, 

wishing that you knew

how much I love you.

Days just kept on passing by

where years ended up a rhyme,

I'll always love you so 

I hope that you would know.

 ...to wake in your arms each morn.

Gentle the kiss that begs for more. 

In the dream I saw you 

and I felt your kiss, 

so very, very surreal 

our lips to lips. 

Beginning or closure

I am not really sure, 

bringing a comfort 

and begging for more. 

The music is playing 

and I failed to dance,

but life is like that 

it gives you one more 

chance.

~

The creek is swelled 

the water left the bank,

spring is upon us 

and for that I'm giving thanks.

There is a lot to be grateful for

the joy comes from within,

as I share my love with you 

through kisses via  the wind.

Scattered Thoughts

 Needing less but wanting more.

The seasons document a life.

Prayers bring peace through hope. 

Because I can. 

The seasons capture time through memory.

The perfect brings both excitement and peace.

Every time I look at the night sky I feel closer to you,

knowing there are only one set of stars above us.

You only have one great love all the rest is just wannabe's 

The waterfall holds secrets that have only been heard by the heart.

I have learned to shield my heart by preventing expectations.

The words are written for my intended audience...self.

I have run away more times than most without ever moving my feet.

The whole others have it worse never changes ones own story.

How we remember is unique to each person.

I forgive but as the saying goes I never forget.

There are only so many emotions but so many ways to express them.

Experiencing that one great love is enough to see me through the day.

Souls do connect.

I've seen you in my dream a thousand times.

I am okay

I plan on traveling because there is a lot I wanna do and see.

The funny thing is I am not alone because you are imbedded 

deep in my heart.

Life is short eat a brownie. 

I am worthy.

Red flags are the signs you see but fail to believe.

The child in me still lives on.

Love taught me how much caring in its most simplistic form means.

Sometimes I am afraid to dream. 

Relived

 I have relived the words

through a thousand rhymes,

they brought to life this 

troubled heart of mine. 

It made sense and

was certainly clear, 

of what we felt and

what we shared.

Time will pass 

and I'll be gone, 

but he words of love

will find their song. 

It took a  lifetime 

that is so true 

but like a clear day

the truth came thru.

The lessons learned,

a soul set free 

and a story filled

with memories.

Loving, caring, sharing too

just to name a few, 

for I felt mixed with needs

taught me to believe.

You can set the stage

and fake a smile, 

but in the night the

stars do wow!

For they know 

the truth behold,

that real love never

gets old. 

Our flesh crossed a path

connected with love and laughs, 

music, song and mystical joy

continued to toy.

As I lay here in the early morn

my heart is really quite torn,

if not for the chapters of life

but most certainly to make it right.

Sometimes fear ruled the day

in a angry hurtful way, 

reality once more set in 

canceling out where dreams

came in.

 

What I have learned

 Unconditional love is rare ...everyone places conditions on a relationship. 

Even forever has its limitations. 

You are always alone in thought as everyone has a different idea of " what is" 

They say " the older you get the faster time goes by" But I realize time is going by fast for everyone, even young people are noticing how quickly time is flying by.

Broken hearts never heal, they scar over. 

If it brings you joy you should keep it 

maybe that is why a lot of people choose to be alone.

Living and being alive are quite different, 

I know a lot of people in my life who have been 

a live but have yet to live. 

I was once given this advice, 

" I can throw you a rope but you need to climb it"

that might be true but it wouldn't hurt if someone 

helped by pulling the rope up a little. 

We only live on as long as someone remembers us, 

maybe that is why I have put so much time into my family tree. 

Two people loving the same way is rare .

Screaming in silence is louder than any sound

but few people stop to recognize or listen. 

I am not frightened by the thought of death, 

but by the reality that at this time of my life its 

inevitably soon. 

The great push or shove is of our own doing 

but a little help never hurt.

People think animals aren't smart but we expect 

them to learn our language. We are not going

around learning how to speak dog or chicken. 

We never let go of childhood we learn more in 

a few years than we will ever learn as an adult.

Family is not a Normal Rockwell painting. 

No matter where we travel , how near or far

we take the person in the mirror and when you 

look in that mirror you have to like what is looking back.

There is always a beginning and a ending. 

We are much more vulnerable than we 

think we are. 

The galaxy is infinite and we matter

very little to it. 

Real friendship never lets go.

Women want to be held to the same regard as men, 

they fail to realize they are just that women . 

Forever is in the memory of those who believe.

I have experienced more than some less than others. 

I've climbed hills but considering the barriers

those hills were mountains. 

I miss my father the most, 

he taught me the most about life and 

yet I had to experience, trip , fall and 

get back up to understand where he 

was coming from.

No matter where or how we choose our burial 

we all end up ashes. 

Hanging on to a love that doesn't love back

is a waste of life. 

Dear friend said '"you didn't ask so you didn't get"

I am learning how true that is. 

That no one is ever happy, When it rains they want 

sunshine and when it's sunny they want the air conditioner. 

My father use to say that " a man puts his pants on one 

leg at a time. " I tried to prove him wrong and put my

feet in at the exact same time. 

There is a script for each of us but who is writing it 

is the question. 

The wealthiest of man  can see the joy in the 

smallest of things or is that poor man who 

is now wealthy because he does feel the joy?

Emotionally tired is like giving up.

One moment wasted is one to many. 

Prayer is positive energy. 

Choices is like a game of chutes and ladders, 

sometimes we go up and other times we are sliding down. 

Fifteen years can be a young person whole life and a

old persons end of life. 

On a clear day I can see forever but the days

haven't been to clear lately. 

Love and hate are both strong emotions 

that once seeded are quite powerful. 

We all have wants and needs 

that is simplicity of our animal drive. 

Watching the sunrise on the beach 

is one of my most beautiful memories, 

mostly because I carry you in my heart.

Living life over again means you lived with regrets,

I have no regrets. 

The gift of life is indeed brief.

Scattered thoughts and yet they always bring me back to you.

Dreams just might be our alternate reality. 

Touch

The ducks are a quacking 

and the willow quickly grew 

nostalgic thoughts on the mind

as they had me race to you.

Laughter and tears from day to day, 

shared moments in a special way.

Smiling as I hold on tight 

to the joy and love of my life.

Adventures only we can share

right down to just underwear. 

Emotions that I almost forgot

and the temp is getting hot. 

I saw you clearly in my dream

we shared the day wonderfully,

might have been your promise of eternity 

as I felt you reach out and touch me. 

 

Grasp

 These lingering emotions 

appear in my dreams, 

as if you are there and 

still haunting me.

In my dream it was just a game

that two people play, 

and I loved every silly moment,

that's locked in my mine. 

My emotions have gone wild,

filled with your energy.

Cross fear and contentment

in a full range of disbelief.

 

~

Time brings an awareness,

to see life differently, 

it all makes a whole lot of sense, 

separating reality from dreams.

Some people use the moment

and others play the fool, 

when casting the players 

there is no certain rules. 

It might be just a page

in a chapter of life's book,

but it leaves within an imprint

like a copy of a scrapbook.

Is it baggage we take with us

or a story to leave behind?

Maybe it's just lessons 

that through the soul entwines.

The chill causes a quiver

one that we can't shake,

reminders of a lifetime

and a mountain of  mistakes.

From early on we find 

the flaws of humanity,

and the simple hunger

that brings us to our knees.

The universe reveals

how minute we are, 

not much different than 

the wild animals at heart. 

Gathering like Chipmunks

hanging on to the past,

the further we move ahead

the stronger it's grasp.

 Waking up early each morn

to a chill like never before, 

one thought or a song or two 

as my mind turns to you. 

Wondering what you are doing

and where you are right now, 

as I go about daydreaming 

I try to hide this silly smile.

The days are limited 

each one surely a gift, 

with each passing moment

your love gives me a lift. 

~

No blue birds at the window,

happiness is a distance away.

I tried to block the thoughts

as if my soul was simply lost. 

no blue birds at the window. 

No tears from these eyes, 

as that part of me as died. 

I'm not counting days 

I'm going on my way, 

no tears from these eyes.

Fairytale

 Flipping through the book of life,

blocking out the pages that make me cry. 

Taking tomorrow by surprise 

to quickly ease this troubled mind. 

I didn't expect what I'd find 

who wrote this script of mine?

I am sure it wasn't left to choice

like a song bird without a voice. 

If I truly held the pen 

I'd be there with you my friend, 

all the days have passed on by 

and I built a brick wall out of time. 

~

Holding on to the good times 

brushing away the darkness of life, 

wondering if that sun will shine again

or if this story has come to and end?

Sighing in disbelief 

was it was a want or a need?

It felt so surreal but I am sure

it was based on a fairytale. 

Impossible

 Impossible dreams as 

only in the night are you mine, 

I wake up each morning and

I face the solitude of time. 

I wanted to believe it so

that your arms were for only me,

but I realized a little bit late 

that I was never on your mind. 

The sequence of the story 

jumped through a chapter or two,

still blurred by the heartache 

a decade of love has passed through.

Maybe a lesson for fools

who believe that we can have it all,

but the truth lay down before us 

with a reminder of the limits that

once had me in awl.

I settled for the impossible 

even if it's only in my dreams,

there is where I'll find you 

based on my memories. 

~

The treasure is when I first met you 

it gave me the power to believe in the heavens blue, 

from the moment I experienced all that could be, 

I fell asleep in a life long dream. 

The Importance

 Time rules each moment

there is nothing we can do,

and when the heavens call 

we'll be passing through. 

Take hold of each memory 

and hold it so ever near, 

as the celebration is in life

and all that we share. 

I thought about each person

that simply crossed my path 

and only one held on and that's

the beauty in how long its last.

Facing reality 

whether want or need, 

you continued to hold my hand

bringing joy to me. 

Devil makes a play

 Sun shining down on the hills

and the wind above is blowing 

but the trees are standing still,

as I watch a hawk fly over the 

field. 

The season is approaching rather fast

 fluctuating like fractured glass, 

sliver of glass to the skin is a reminder 

of the pain the past let's in. 

~

You don't always understand

 when the devils hand is played.

trickery at its best when the

darkness is engaged. 

Believing or wanting 

the fool takes the stand, 

when you see what you see

is a part of some evil plan. 

Traveling down this road

I've traveled before 

but this is a little different

as I know what's in store.

~

 

 

Happiness

 I saw that chance at happiness

your hand firmly in mine, 

like a raft thrown out at sea

those moments rescued me. 

We took the reigns of time,

each day a blessing of sort.

From that first day I met you

I felt your love support. 

It is the tea cup in the morning, 

the caring throughout the day,

simple words of love 

and the happiness they bring.

Time

 I wanna love you 

and I wanna care, 

but my heart is broken 

and it teeters on fear.

I want you to love me,

and I want you to care, 

but the time has passed

and you aren't here. 

No chance that fate

could change this path, 

for it really is time 

that is having the last laugh. 

Unconditionally

 Unconditionally, what does that really mean?

To love and be loved forever and completely 

accepting all that we are deep down in our heart,

as we stay united and promise to never part. 

When time passes by and grey hair falls in my eyes

and a wrinkle or two has made its way through,

you'll still hold my hand and my heart command

as if it was like that very first day.

Sometimes I think the dreams 

were never ever meant to be, 

but just a game of two 

that brings me in the night to you.

I have seen you there and

wondered what was left to share?

Did time hold the key or was it

just a passing thing?

A part of me as truly died. 

Through the Words

 Through the words I ran away, 

left behind the dark of day, 

to the clouds passing by 

escaping the hands of time. 

Releasing the evil reign

where it no longer stays, 

setting free and letting go,

the mind no longer the game. 

Weep not heart of sorrow past, 

he who stands begins to laugh, 

like chalk written on the wall

erasing it one and for all. 

Ramblings of the Heart

 To brief a time

~

Fear dictates the journey

~

I miss you the most. 

~

Memories can be both good or bad, 

depending on where they lead you.

~

Love or Lust?  Love is caring and in most cases lust is selfish. Unless you have a spiritual intimacy and a physical intimacy on the same plane. 

1. 
   

2. ~

3. Love and hate are so close together in the sense that both are an energy that says you care, 

~

I will love you till the end of time. Which feels a lot closer than one would think.

~

I think its possible to become dehydrated on the amount of tears one sheds.

~

Tethered by heartache.

~

I spent a life time of running with my feet standing still.

~

Who ever wrote the script of life should have been fired long ago.

~

Like a mosaic painting my thoughts are all scrambled. 

~

Screams in silence. 

~

Is it what I believed it to be or merely confusion ?

~

The tear that does not fall remains within. 

~

The storm woke both the physical and the spiritual. 

~

I hope your journey was better than this.

~

I feel that certain ending that we all will come to at one time or antoher.

~

I begged the wind if it should blow 

to your heart my love would go. 

Whispers, roars or rolls on by 

touch the soul and the mind. 

Chills by day and ache by night

reminders of this passing life, 

Might have been our paths had crossed

but nothing is ever truly lost.
