...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.
