Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After
I said to my friend, all I wanted was to live happily ever after. He responded with “happily ever after is just a dream.” The theme happily ever after was kicked up in conversation and I realized that this phrase had many meanings, and varies depending on your view of life and what you refer to as happiness. Call me a dreamer, but I do believe happily ever after does exist. It doesn’t mean that you don’t meet with struggles nor will you not find various situations that will spawn emotions that travel from one end of the spectrum to the other. I believe it is acknowledging the challenges that surface and supporting, loving and enforcing a stable emotional well being that allows us to enjoy all of life’s experiences.
I am not foolish to believe in the myth of the princess finds her prince and he gives her a life that she deserves, a true happily after is about partnership, equal love, the same passion, desire and spiritual awakening that walks on the platform of respect. I never looked to be saved but to reach out and walk hand and hand through life, knowing that through it all good and bad someone would love me as much I would love them. Happily Ever After has nothing to do with perfection, for perfection doesn’t exist. Communication is the connection of heart and soul, exposing our weakness and our strength and relying on another soul not to crutch but to challenge life.
Few people will ever find true love, one seems to love more, to give more and the other take and not embrace as warmly. Realistically a true bond of two souls confirms the power of love in its most absolute form. The connection uses and adhesive of faith, respect, trust and love to create modern day super glue. A bond that is unbreakable and can withstand all storms proves that true love is real and not of dreams.
I believe life has many chapters, many beginning and many endings. I looked over the last ten years of my life and I began to question the people I had met and allowed to enter my world. Each of them was very different and had an awful lot to bring to the table. I could not compare them, for they were individuals with the utmost amazing characters, that some how crossed my path.
As I thought deeper about my life, I realized more then ever that we can only be responsible for self. Like looking at the reflection in the mirror, the image cast is one of not only the external being of a person but the internal thought process, who we are , where we are going and what we expect along the way. There are many trials an errors that we confront throughout our life, they are not of regrets. Looking back at the past and again at the present, I knew that everyone who entered my life took a piece of my heart and remolded it to create a more in depth personality and thus building a stronger character. A wise man does not live as one he morphs from the lessons of others to develop and expression of varied thoughts.
The gifts are bestowed upon us on a daily basis; it is up to us to use our God given talents to develop them. I confessed today to my friend, I told her that I still thought of running away, starting a new life, but that my ties or my responsibilities kept me here. I also knew that if I didn’t explore my inner self and find acceptance with who I am, I would just take all issues of life along with me, undigested. Sometimes our values and priorities are muddled with shades of gray that we can’t see clearly the visions of the heart and soul.

The journey is about keeping your mind open and your soul free and your heart willing, with these and that special person life is a book of happily ever after. Everyday will be a new challenge and I will cherish each moment. I could write chapters on that which I desire, is this desire the makings of fantasy or dreams? I believe not, I trust in the Lord to guide me, for only he knows what path I shall follow, but he has made sure I don’t follow it alone, he has sent me someone to love and be loved. With hands embraced I await tomorrow with the joy of passion, love and desire, walking side by side with my partner, companion and my best friend.

Light Up The Cloud

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your heart to mine,
rhythmic they beat,
spinning in circles
to memories.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Stars above us,
in the night of calm,
where we dance as one
all night long.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your lips of sweet,
pressed gently to mine,
sharing a moment
please stand still time.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Not Only in My Dreams

Singing>I wanna hold you forever, I wanna make dreams come true.I wanna love you like no other and make you love me to.Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no! I wanna create our eternity, where you are holding me.

I wanna feel you inside me, I wanna dance the night away.I wanna make you need me .... the way that I need you....Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no!. I wanna create our eternity , where you are holding on to me.

Not only in my dreamssss

Soul Mates

Most people relate to the study of Greek mythology, the magical stories of the heavens and the gods that ruled them. Zeus the God of Gods, ruler of the universe struck bolts of thunder down upon mortal man. The myth that humans were combined of four arms and four legs and a single head made of two faces which struck fear into the Gods, caused Zeus to split them in half. Zeus Condemned split souls to spend eternity searching for the other half that would complete them giving them the energy and power.
In our modern day era there is all kinds of talk of searching for soul mates, a loosely used term for finding the person who has the perfect fit. Soul mates could be defined as very dear friends who have a strong bond, two people who walk in harmony, a life lasting connection, spiritual companions, twin flames that burn as one, one that has an extreme , positive influence over another or in a more romantic way some have referred to soul mates as the reuniting of
split souls.
There is no doubt in my mind that an energy does exist between people, on a scientific note, they would break it down to mere adrenaline. I believe soul mates are much deeper, it is the equilibrium that causes an inner balance of happiness.
In our society there are the expected norms, dating marriage, love an life that we are somehow predestined to perform. As you look around you find that rarely do people find such a perfection connection. In my mind is a view of all the perfect weddings that I had attended to find that very few lasted the miles.
In the bonding of a soul mate, both must be standing on common ground, that which feels comfortable and in a state of normalcy. Each knows the others moments of weakness as well as days of strength and brings out the best in all situations. The positive cognation from one partner to the next creates a platform of encouragement, promoting one to strive for better, to create a desire.
In a bond of two inner spirits there is no demand set upon the souls, but an understanding that speaks without words. Emotions rise up from the flames to possess the energy of desire and create lasting moments that lift and bond two into one.
What is the possibility that two people will find such a positive energy of attraction, both in the spiritual and physical sense? I can address no formal number to the combination of a puzzle that interlocks two souls.
Do I believe soul mates exist? I in every sense of the word believe there is a connection from one human to another that is above the normal expectation. The interaction of souls is rare and gifted with trust, respect, faith and love. The crucial ingredients must be met with self first before they can be shared with another human being. Standing at the gateway of self respect, allow faith and the trust in oneself guide you to Love.
