I Miss You

Just before night fall 
when trees a silhouette
create a canvas 
the evening at its best. 

I find myself daydreaming
like the night before, 
wondering what tomorrow
has for us in store. 

There is so much to be doing
and nothing at all 
but to share my day with you 
documenting forevermore. 

Right outside my window
dark and darker the night 
as the moon not yet in place
to shine down its light. 

Like one too many x-rays
cumulative the memories
bring with them a teardrop
that seers this heart in me. 

Caught between the sadness
and the happiness you bring, 
like the wall of distance that
separates you from me.

I lay here all alone
like the five year old in me,
questioning what's fair 
and relying on my dreams.

The sky complete in darkness
reveals that time goes on 
and my heart tells the story
as my soul sings out in song.

Precious are the memories
the moments that we share
as I have felt true love 
from one who dared to care.

There is no separating 
the two souls now as one,
I felt it like a burst of sunshine
when I was introduced to love.




~
Keeping busy sets free the mind.

~

I am having a moment

closes my eyes and falls into your arms.

Once upon a lifetime!

Life is so fragile 

that there is a gift in telling you I love you.

~

There is a stillness and a calm 

that creates a sense of peace.

~

The weather was beautiful 

there is a lot to be said to respecting mother nature.

~

I may not have jewels like king and queens 

but I have a greater wealth, I have your love. 

~

I can tire of a lot of things, 

never of loving you.

~

Prayer is equal to positive energy,

nothing wrong with positive energy.

~

I never asked for anything other than strength, 

with  strength we are capable of all things. 

~

I have empathy for those who have no control over a situation

but that doesn't cover stupid.

~

My greatest goal was to escape the negativity of another, 

tough when you are surrounded by it...but not impossible.

~

I think with inflation a penny for my thoughts is way to little...

I'm leaning more towards a dollar. 

~

With you each season is beautiful ... I can even enjoy the snow. 

~

When only one loves ... it's not even fireworks 

but when two love equally it's an ongoing display of beauty. 

~

I always believed you can live on love....I still do. 

~

Today was my great escape...sunshine, blue skies and white puffy clouds. 

~

I am like a rechargeable battery, 

I need positive energy to fuel my spirit. 

~

They say laughter is the best medicine, 

this is one time that the "they sayers" are right. 

~

To share in absolutely nothing with you 

is truly my everything. 

Interpretation

One of the coolest things about Classical Movies is that all ages could watch them and interpret them accordingly. I found that throughout my own life that I was able to see an experience and interpret it depending on my own place in time, age etc. I questioned what changes that allows us to understand or to appreciate the trials of triumph on this long drawn out journey. Does our perception of a moment in time change? I don't believe our ability to understand , hear or view is altered with time but as we grow, educate and in some ways develop a stronger sense of empathy we are able to see an experience from different perspectives. Sometimes it feels like  " mellowing with age" gives us greater appreciation and of course the knowledge to grasp without our own preset limitations. 

Looking at the world in times of peace and again at times of war, we find our own beliefs and yes judgment come into play. But I have also noticed that I've begun more to look at life not just from where I stand but from where someone else stands. It is like having an appreciation for a chapter that somehow leaves itself engrained in our character. 

Strength and weakness

we all have a few 

for I remember yesterday

when I knew not what to do.

Trusted in the darkness

 was begging for the sun, 

forgot about the laughter 

misinterpreted love.

I came to the realization 

that everything must be

that is how we grow 

and form our own belief.

It wasn't what about the chosen

but I found it was meant to be,

the crossing of two souls 

and the forming of dreams.

I couldn't explain it but 

I know what I feel ,

the magic of love 

for a moment made 

my heart stand still. 

~

Tears

Interpret a tear drop 

and what it means, 

sometimes of laughter

and a eternal scream. 

Emotional heartache, 

sadness and dispear

and occasional sorrow

tof the time we haven't 

shared.

Stories unwritten 

and from yesterday a few, 

each tear drop has both 

gray skies and blue.

Sunshine and Storms

I saw the stars
fade into the night
as the morning light
through the trees appeared.

Morning to morning
and my heart to yours
as I wake in your arms
like the day before.

Summer fading
and the trees tell us so,
in a blanket of color
they put on a show.

Chapter by chapter
our love endures,
as we write the pages
like never before.

There when you close your eyes
holding you through the night,
again when you awake in the morn
I'm there through sunshine and storms.

I saw the stars
fade into the night
as the morning light
through the trees appeared.

Gray Skies

Amazing how a song can take you back to the exact moment in time as if that moment were current within our thoughts. "Don't let the sun catch you crying." Memories lock in moments and music replays them. The 1960's were an interesting time period for music. The times were becoming restless and music seemed to reflect that change.
Somehow whether we do it as a means of survival or to cushion the heartache we have a tendency to float upon the good moments. Music has always been an extremely important part of our lives. From listening to singing at holidays and more the music brings it all back to life. Occasionally touching on a sad moment , romance and joy.
The anniversary of my sisters one year since her death has just passed and though she was a troubled soul , I remember the child who danced in the rain and sang. Saying goodbye to so many family members hasn't gotten any easier, but just as a child is born someone passes away. This passage all a part of life. There is something about family that becomes the unspoken rule. Mostly because as children you live it together that you don't necessarily have to review it outloud.
I took the day off and with the skies over head a bit cloudy, I slept in a little too long and was in a lazy state of do nothing. Which always give me way to much time to think.

The child within us lives
through memories of long ago,
revealing our yesterdays
like seasons that won't let go.

Tears hidden behind the eyes
of all the stories locked inside,
from heartache to happiness
chapters within the mind.

Day by day the chapters
are recorded to time
a moment of yesterday
leaves behind a rhyme.

Jumping in a puddle
raindrops on the tongue,
scarey movies at night
an unconditional love.

Can't replace it
nor let it go,
but turning the page
writing as we go.

Gerry and the Pacemakers - Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying

You

So many words
combinations a few
to express the emotions
that come with loving you.

Day after day
I take to documenting
the feelings from inside
that took me by surprise.

On earth and in the heavens
everywhere you look
all comes with reminders
what time took.

Happiness and sorrow
the reasons a few
when you said hello
and I fell in love with
you.

So many words
combinations a few
to express the emotions
that come with loving you.

Emotional Response

I didn't go looking
but I can't help but see,
like the blue bird sitting
on a Sycamore tree.

Magical and wonderful
as a romantic dream
as I looked to the heavens
and your love appeared to me.

The colors of life
in shades of every hue,
bring the warmth of a day
when I share with you.

~
I wanna stay in this moment
in your arms gentle yet strong,
I wanna feel your heartbeat
and have you feel mine.

The concerto moves its audience
with a powerful musical display
as you move my spirit in a
most unique and wonderful way.

To the mountains and beyond the sea,
drain the rivers and soar free,
above the clouds in the sky
where we meet day and night.

I wanna share each moment
erase the darkness from the heart
replace it with sunshine and
at night give to you the stars.


~
Under the glow
of a midnight stroll,
the moon full
shines down on us.

Lighting the way
to you my love,
where I can see
where once it was
dark.
