I love you

On my way home this evening I encountered a picturesque snowfall, it was one of those scenes out of Charles Dickens" A Christmas Carol."  That kind of stop and still back in time feeling that you get when life stops for a second. The temperatures were cool enough to create snowflakes yet warm enough to melt them into ice. The roads treacherous slowed traffic and allowed the time to take in the beauty of the freshly fallen snow. It was as if mother nature was causing a stir, so much so that you couldn't help but enjoy the trees dressed in white as the snow kept falling fast against the windshield. I looked and all I could think of was you and how beautiful all the seasons are when sharing them with you.
Everywhere I looked was a photo waiting to be snapped. How I wish had my camera as I spun around in various directions taking in my surroundings. For one brief moment there was no time nor place, barriers or distance, just the expression of what is. I felt overcome with emotion. Watching young love toss a snowball, smiles and laughter filled the air. The moments clicked still as I filed them accordingly in the heart of my memories.
Time was passing and the years so quickly had gone by and as I looked at my reflection in the mirror I saw a woman who met with experiences and dealt with the consequence of choice. Yet for all that has happened, I felt the spirit of a ten year old, who never ages and always views life from that magical age when all is still possible.

It's a wonderful feeling,
and a very beautiful day ,
I have love in my heart
and your a dream away.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The day is over and
I can't sleep, your here
in my heart and there in
my dreams.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

If wishes were penny's
and penny's were gold,
I give them away if
your love I could hold.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The day is over and done,
and all that is left is the
magic of love.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

Stars above me and
the clouds passing by,
with an invitation to
dance side by side.

The snowflakes falling,
a blanket of white,
covers the hills and
brightens the night.

The Poet's Soul



What is this that holds my heart,
tethered in restraint? 
Still like the darkness, the 
feelings I cannot shake. 

I trembled from the  thought, 
it weakened me so, 
as if the night  cast shadows,
that danced upon the wall. 

The chapters merge together 
and no time can I see, 
for yesterday is gone 
and tomorrow is a dream. 

My soul speaks in riddles,
my heart can't understand,
for is it  responsibility or 
some awful written plan?

... and there my love you'll stay

When you hold a memory, 
keep it close in the heart
and nothing will separate
nor tear our love apart. 

When you hold the dream
from twilight till dawn, 
you'll find us dancing 
in each others arms. 

When you believe 
than all will come true, 
like the angels in the 
heavens waiting on their 
fair due. 

When you sing of happiness
and embrace it all the day, 
you'll have stepped in my 
heart and there my love
you'll stay. 


~

I ask nothing my love
for I have everything, 
but for your love 
to remember me. 

I ask nothing of darkness, 
for the stars will shine 
and just like our happiness, 
will be there for all time. 


I asked my heart to speak  the words,
words of love that have not touched my lips,
Deeper and deeper into my soul, to reach 
out and bring the words of love to life.  

Sing heart sing of joyous love, the passion
shared one to one. Sing heart sing of 
happiness, when two souls become, 
one , when two souls become one. 

I asked my heart to speak the words,
words of love that have not touched my lips,
Deeper and deeper into my soul, to reach 
out and bring the words of love to life.  



One day with you, 
doesn't matter what we do,
a stroll through the park, 
watching stars in the dark. 

One kiss from you, 
like butter cream sweet, 
when our lips meet 
would be heavens treat. 

One everlasting touch, 
slow and gentle means so much, 
exploring as you move, 
it's what love can do. 

One more dream, 
a romantic theme,
rose petals everywhere 
and two hearts share. 


Good Night My Love

There is a stillness to the night
and yet hauntingly it seems to speak,
the words to the heart cause a trembling,
as if the darkness has a hold on the key,
to the lock upon my heart that keeps
safe your memory.

La la la sweet angel, I am waiting here
for you , la la la my darling you know
I love you true. La la la sweet angel,
I am waiting here for you, la la la my
my darling you know I love you true.

There is a stillness to the night
and yet hauntingly it seems to speak,
the words to the heart cause a trembling,
as if the darkness ha a hold on the key,
to the lock upon my heart that keeps
safe your memory.

 ~
Loneliness is an Epidemic 
of souls parted by the miles. 

~
Whisper heart, whisper,
 whisper words of love,
send them to him daily
 on the wings of a dove.

May he find the peace, 
I am sending to him now,
from the kiss of my lips
to bring to him a smile. 

Whisper heart, whisper,
whisper words of love,
send them to him daily,
on the wings of a dove.

Share

I shared my heart,
he shared his with me
and that's what makes
this special, we shared
out of need. 

I shared my dreams,
he shared his dreams with me
and that's what makes 
this special we shared
our everything. 

I shared my love, 
he shared his love with me, 
and that's what makes 
this special we shared
it beautifully. 

I shared my heartache,
he shared his heartache with me, 
and that's what makes 
this special , we shared it
tearfully. 

I shared my hopes,
he shared his hopes with me, 
and that's what makes this 
special, we shared it 
faithfully. 

I shared my life,
he shared his life with me, 
and that's what makes this 
special we shared it deeply.

~
From my lips a kiss, 
passion and desire, 
meant for you only 
to set your heart on 
fire.

From my heart the script,
that wrote you in the lead
and is kept for all time 
to last for all eternity. 

From my soul the dream,
that holds you in the night, 
embraces with the angels,
as it soars in flight. 

From my mind the wishes,
that wish you here, 
to lay in my arms and 
forever share. 

~
I am not writing of angels 
heaven sent, the ones I 
write about were to 
earth sent. 

~
My eyes are closed 
and there I see in 
the dark of night
you are waiting
for me.

My eyes are closed 
and there I feel, 
the warmth of love 
that's become my 
shield. 

My eyes are closed
and to you I sing, 
good night my love
it is time to dream.

Rainbow Snowflakes...These ones are Red

As I watch the snow fall and look at the beautiful crystals layering upon the window pane my mind drifted and I thought of the old saying " no two snowflakes are alike." That would hold true for people and experiences as I believe no two are alike. Though it is true that we all have similarities in experience and in our thoughts and actions, the differences part the ways. Of course, I right away thought of soul mates. Exactly what makes a soul mate. Similarities were a part of it, the willingness to understand , comprehend , explore and the ability to share and the common ground in which emotions cross. But there is also a comfort zone and the comfort zone is knowing that we are not judged for standing and bearing our all to the world.
I was saddened earlier in the day when I thought that it was out of my control and to a degree somethings appear to be out of our control. But than it occurred to me that every situation whether positive or negative demands a choice be made. Well that seems awfully simple. We can alter any situation by simply choosing to do so. I thought hmmm... that doesn't seem so difficult and yet and I laughed as I out loud said a saying that I had heard many times " You can either be a part of the solution or a part of the problem." That just seems to darn easy and yet there was truth in the words spoken. Everything we do has a consequence , whether we choose to go with the flow or stand our ground and dare to be different. For all the tears that flooded from my eyes this morning , they seemed so dry and without emotion this evening. It had that feel of cleansing, yell a little, cry a little and get up and dust yourself off and move on. Dwelling on what you can' t do is wasted energy so I put that energy into what I know. Worked on products, made dinner and stood my ground. Today is like a snowflake, it will be nothing like yesterday and nothing at all like tomorrow. How we look at the reflections of the prisms of a crystal depends on where we stand. I saw the light beaming through and shining off the window. From this perspective I could separate myself from my surroundings. Hey! it was Popeye that said it best " I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam." The wisdom behind cartoons, go figure. I stood there for a moment , I thought of what makes me different and what makes me the same. I made decisions that put me where I am and I will make decisions that will take me to tomorrow.  I no longer felt the exhaustion that came with a long winter, I felt renewed. That one person understood, cared and was willing to make a difference along side me. It was as if I was given a strength like some super hero power which made infallible. 
There were many people instrumental in the long journey and I spent a moment or two reviewing those times. I wondered exactly what they meant and why, in general why do we have people who cross our paths? Of course some seem more positive than others and others  had quite the negative spin to them, so much that I could feel it to this day like a prick of a needle as it penetrates the skin.  I didn't want to think that these experiences changed me or somehow redirected my path. But in essence they did somehow alter the journey or at least add to the character that is constantly forming. Even the most negative of situation taught me caution and the most positive taught me the truth of love. 

I tucked a little lavender into
the cleavage of my breast , 
to calm my soul and allow
my troubled heart to rest. 

Relaxing by the light of 
my computer screen, my
knees bent and my head 
upon the pillow, while I
became lost in memory. 

I set about daydreaming
and wishing you were here,
wondering what you are doing
and remembering the time we 
shared.

My heart felt the warming 
from the infusion of love 
and I felt my soul escaping
unto the clouds above. 

The images delightful, 
like magic to the soul,
Envisioning your arms
opened with an invitation
to hold. 

I knew from the beginning
and I still know it now, 
that you are my love 
no matter the long miles.

Tonight I'll close my eyes
and it will be like no 
night before, for tonight,
I am in your arms forevermore. 

My heart sings the words,
your soul writes for me
and it is inevitable that 
we will surface from the
dreams.

Love has spoken and
I'll not deny that every
passing minute is like
fireworks in the sky. 

The truth is there for 
us to see and I knew
it from that moment
you first said hello to
 me. 


Red for love....








Poetry...a reflection of two hearts entwined

It was through your smile,
I could see the light of day,
the dreams we all have
and the energy to make
them all come true.

It was your faith in me,
your willingness to hold
my hand, it led me to
the sun on a day where
the snow clouds ruled.
~

You gave me hope
 when it seemed
that all hope could
not be had.

You gave me love,
when my heart felt
empty, like the fuel
that feeds a fire.

Every Day of The Year



~
I am certain our love is true,
it's a reflection of two hearts
entwined in the heavens blue. 

I feel it each morning as I awake
and all through the day until 
night makes its way. 

I am certain our love is true, 
it's a reflection of two hearts
entwined in the heavens blue. 

~


~
There is an unlimited combination that is true, 
the words rearranged all say " I love you."
Many poems are contained in the the heart,
the cravings of a soul where passion 
gets a start. 

Every thought and wish I have for you,
are scrolled in my heart like the clouds
which write across the blue. The pleasures
of life when two souls meet and the rest
was fate and the magic of a dream.
~
I can only imagine the sweetness of flesh,
your lips to mine in an everlasting kiss. 
Embracing the dream I hold you so ever 
close upon a rose bed of petals where
our souls are engrossed.
~
Feeling needy, 
wanting you so, 
the weakness of
flesh is beginning
to show. 

My body quivers, 
my heart is in a race, 
thinking of your love
from day to day. 
~
Endless words,
spoken from the heart, 
comforts and soothes 
even though we are
a far. 

My greatest strength 
is in wishing you here
and yet it is my weakness
as I wipe away those tears. 
~


The temperatures are dropping 
but it is no surprise, I am feeling
warm just dreaming you by my
side. 

Surrounded by darkness and 
yet I can see, it is magic of 
your love that lights the 
way for me 

.



My weakness is my love of you, 
for you are my every dream and 
my dance under the sky so blue. 

The things you do put a smile
to my face and send me soaring
to our special place.
