The Love Of My Life

When you stop moving is when
 the mind goes into overdrive.
Sings ...
You're the sunlight in my morning
and the shining stars of the night,
the bluest blue in my sky and
the love of my life.

You're the joy in each moment
we have dared to share,
the magic in a love song that
gives to life its own flair.

You're the sunlight in my morning
and the shining stars of the night,
the bluest blue in my sky and
the love of my life.

You're the shining rainbow
on a dark and cloudy day
crossing the mountains
to bring you're love my way.

You're the sunlight in my morning
and the shining stars of  the night,
the bluest blue in my sky and
the love of my life.

You're the silence that
teases my restless soul
and you're the angel
who saved this silly fool.

You're the sunlight in my morning
and the shining stars of the night,
the bluest blue in my sky and
the love of my life.


There are times like the rabbit that finds itself circling round and round that I find the further I travel the less territory I cover. For there was a moment where loneliness ruled the night, which still rules through the center of my being. I am with you and not, faraway and yet close, filled and love and yet drowning in the void.

Hard to believe it is the end of December. Taking a stroll in what appeared to be spring like weather, I was taken by surprise to see the Quince in bloom. Unlike spring where the shrub is a bushy green with blooms , the shrub was a bit gray and yet filled with coral like blooms. Tempted to cut a few branches and places them in a vase on the dining room table so as to enjoy a rare glimpse of winter quince in bloom.
Life like mother nature, you are never quite sure what tomorrow will bring. It is not unusual that while shopping someone will stop and talk to me. This women not like I had ever met her, began talking as I strolled through a couple isles looking for after Christmas specials. By the time I made it to the counter I knew the most personal information that one would usually share with a old time friend , she ended her conversation with " Each morning that I wake up I treat it as a holiday worth celebrating." You just never know what tomorrow will bring and it is not quite like age had anything to do with it , as a twelve year old died Christmas eve after he overturned his four wheeler. Yes life is indeed precious.
I spent Christmas eve with a friend. Her grandchildren acted out The Christmas Story and we ended the evening encircled with candles lit and singing Silent Night. Christmas has always been more to me than gift giving, though I must say I do enjoy seeing the grand children's faces sparkle with excitement. But to me Christmas a story of hope and faith is just that hope that goodness will overcome evil and faith that tomorrow will come and we will once more celebrate the joy of life.
The days since have gone so quickly that I find it hard to believe that we will be celebrating the new year.
The power of the positive can be seen throughout our lives. How each chain of events joins us together creating a tighter bond. Interlocking hearts and souls through memories of yesterday and dreams of tomorrow. As the new year approaches I find myself caught up in a dream my daughter had. She said to me the dream is a view into the future. I interpreted it as her insight into my life and her own restlessness and a mix of hope and faith.
Happy New Year

Sometimes when we touch - Rod Stewart

Tossing and Turning

Lost in the memories

and it was no surprise,

that the heaviness my

heart felt was distance's

crime.

 

Longing for the moment

this needy soul of mine,

hungers for the flesh

to embrace this heart

lonely heart of mine.

 

~

 

The smiles and laughter

the joy can't be denied,

like stars in the heavens

your heart is in mine.

 

The further the distance,

the closer we become, 

no doubt you are my angel,

my sweetest love.

 

 

~

Tears break the silence

as each one falls

spoken from the heart

it is your name they call.

 

Time quickly passes 

as I suddenly sigh,

wanting you near me

time after time.

 

~

 

This old pillow,

I have kept so long,

worn and tattered

it is still going strong.

 

I hold it tightly

scrunched in my arms

as tight as I hold you

here in my heart.

 

This old pillow,

I have kept so long,

worn and tattered

it is still going strong.

 

It keeps all my secrets,

catches all my tears

and knows of the love

you and I share.

~

 

 

 

 

 Just as the eyes can adjust to the darkness,

  the heart can see the beauty of love

through all the seasons of life.

 

~

 

It is in my darkest hour

that the truth of love reveals itself.

 

~

 

In times of struggles I seem to always visualize the image in the story of Gulliver's Travels. The part where Gulliver is tied down by the Lilliput. When little things are so overwhelming that they hold us back...breaks through the ropes.

 

Negativity is so powerful that it

can drain the spirit of useful energy.

 

~

 

 

 

When you know at that very moment that

you have been some how forever changed.

 

~

 

The greatest gift is in waking up,the sky is blue, the sun is shining

and your love brings joy to my life.

 

 

~

 

There is something about a train ride, well cared for rails make for a smooth ride

and then there is the neglect, rust and unexpected and that we call life's derailments.

 

~

 

The sky dawned in gray

a haze is left behind and

though the darkness dwells,

the sun within still shines.

 

Incredible the vision,

an artist sketch divine,

heart to heart collision

reveals forever in time.

 

 

~

The hills reveal through the ferns of green

that as long as we experience we can conquer all the dreams.

 

~

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes it is a word, a song or a glance across a crowded room

but there are times you can't deny what was meant to be all along.

Tossing and turning all night long,
lying awake and lost in song.

I wiped a tear drop from the corner of my eye
and replaced it with the memories that cause me
to let out a sigh.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the night
and the void of your absence now seemed
bigger than life.

I take to the heavens to dance upon the clouds
and pull you to my heart and spin around.

My heart is filled with your precious love and the
joy my soul feels are what dreams are made of.

Tossing and turning as I can't fall asleep,
so I lay here awake wishing you next to me.

Humming Silly Songs

We are surrounded by darkness
in these early winter days and
rain is steadily falling where
the usual snow would lay.

I find myself reaching
for my pillow early on,
where I take to dreaming
and humming silly songs.

I'd rather be with you
where you know I belong,
in a quiet moment, peacefully
tucked away in your arms.

We are surrounded by darkness
in these early winter days and
rain is steadily falling where
the usual snow would lay.

My heart longs for your  kiss,
to the taste the sweetness of your lips.
Where souls join as one, in
celebration of the greatest love.

Snuggling under the blankets as
I visualizing you are here as
I  imagine your heart beating
in a moment that  lovers share.

We are surrounded by darkness
in these early winter days and
rain is steadily falling where
the usual snow  would lay.

.

Song of My Heart

The sun without its shine,

no moon a glow at night,

there'd be such an emptiness

without the love of my life.

 

Stars without their sparkle,

the world dark and gray

that is how I'd see it if you

had not found  your way.

 

No smiles or laughter

nor magic of delight

had our souls not come

together and made everything

right.

 

No longer a void

for you are here with me

and I value the treasure

that the sweetest memories

bring.

Like a rainbow arches the mountains,

your love bridges the dreams.

 

~

 

 

There is a bit of you in me,
that is what people see
through all my thoughts
and all my dreams.

There is a bit of you in me,
the treasure seen in each
season, from summer
fall, winter and spring
each day is what love
brings.

There is a bit of you in me,
in that special place that is
quite deep within me,
in my heart where you
will always be.



Whispers

The heart whispers
as the fingers type and
now the world knows
what true love is like.

It's the breath of morning
with each hello we share,
it's the pit and patter of
raindrops that reminds us
of each moment we share.

~
Fingers

I asked those fingers " don't
type no words of love, don't
go sharing what's in your heart,
it's for your special love."

Controlled by the heart,
those fingers of mine
lost all control and typed
time after time.

They didn't care who read it
or if the whole world would see,
as they were filled with excitement
that only true love can bring.

Some may say it's repetitious
or silly as it can be ,to type
the words over and over of
what you mean to me.

It is my daily celebration,
the mystery of sweet love
that I take each time to type
that it is you my dear I love.

...

I struggle with the pain of your absence,
as the dreams are all I have to hold you here.
My heart trembles at the notion that if I
awake you will suddenly disappear.

Quickly gaze upon the heavens and
you'll see the stars belong to you and I,
no matter how distant they seem,
they bridge your heart and soul to mine.

Longing to feel your embrace and
to be forever lost within your arms,
your energy a powerful delight
that fills my being in the dark
of night.

If the winds should change course
and find its way to your door,
may it brush gentle against your soul
as a reminder of the love between
you and I.

The river cuts through the mountains,
the clouds embrace the sky and I
am trapped in this sweet notion
that you are here by my side.

The darkness dares to distance
and the silence plays with my mind
as I hear the sweet song of love
played on the strings of this heart
of mine.

It's a wonderful Life

Strange what stirs up a thought and stimulates a memory. This time of year my favorite movie is "it's a wonderful life." Actually that movie can apply to all of us at one time or another as I think about how we all touch each other in various ways. My sister reminded me once of how she felt I altered the path of our lives. I never thought of it as such an important thing till one day she spoke of what it meant and how she felt how it affected her in many ways.  I was nine years old and that would have made my sister five years old at the time. Believe it or nor we use to swim in the Allegheny river. My father would have these big blow up inner tubes and tie them to a dock off the shore. This one day I am sure he wasn't far away but far enough that we weren't in sight. The large barges pushing by created waves and as I turned my sister was no where to be found. She had slipped off and had fallen under the water. She was in a state of panic and couldn't swim and all I saw was her little hand reaching out of the water. I held on and locked my hand in hers and pulled her close to me. She said " you saved my life"
I thought about myself through out life. I wasn't literally drowning but at times I felt like I was emotionally under the water with my hand reaching up. It made me think about my life and where I would be had you not been there. I reached up and you took my hand.
It could have been sooner that our paths would meet but the Lord knows the timing and surely he knows our needs. Struggles were many and tears were more than a few but it was all worth it to have my life directed to you. Bringing joy to the day and revealing that blue skies dominate the gray. I wake up in the morning with a song in my heart and knowing that you are never far. I reached for your hand and you reached on back, that my love is a fact.

To feel your love
and hold you here,
to love you so with
each breath I share.

I'll never let you go,
I truly love you so.
Amazing is this love
sent down from above.

You're my nightly dream,
you are my everything.
I reached out to you,
to find you reaching too.

I'll never let you go,
I truly love you so.
Amazing is this love
sent down from above.

My heart I share with you,
that is what lovers do as
I embrace the time that
passes so quickly by.

I'll never let you go,
I truly love you so.
Amazing is this love
sent down from above.

~

You gave me a smile,
you taught me to laugh
and life was worth
living.

You held on tight,
I fought for my life
and life was worth
living.

You made me realize,
I was worth loving
and I gave in return
all of my heart.

You believed in me,
made it all real and
directed my dreams.
~

Crawl into my arms and let me fill your
heart with peace, replace the darkness

Bring On The Sunshine

Imagine that the stars
had never lit the sky
or the moon could
never be seen with
the naked eye.

Our souls would not
have magically collided,
we wouldn't have known
the love inside us.

~

Destiny packed away a few,
when laying out our journey
it brought gray skies and
blue.

I saw the darkness and
I knew not what it meant,
until you revealed the sun
through the love you sent.

Like a canvas cleared
and in preparation to paint,
you took my heart and
all the sadness you erased.

~


Bring on the sunshine,
no skies of gray,
I'm dreaming of you
day after day.

The season can wait,
I'll take skies of blue,
whenever you're hear
the sun shines thru.

Let It Rain

Let it rain, let it rain,
open up your heart
and feel the moment,
let it rain, let it rain.

Wake up my sweet
in the early morn,
battling through life
we surfaced from
the storms.

Let it rain, let it rain,
open up your heart
and feel the moment,
let it rain, let it rain.

I whisper your name...

I whisper your name,
so my heart may share,
the sweet love that I feel
for you my dear.

I embrace the moment
and make it our own,
in away that is special
that it continues to grow.

I second this motion,
that our love is true
in this beauty of life
where there is me
and you.

Love Infused Words

We were destined
to collide heart and soul
and to soar the heavens
in a dream that daily unfolds.

I can't really explain it,
though I know it to be true,
that we weren't meant to walk
this earth until we say adieu.

Images seared to the heart,
compliments to the soul
and a perfect remind that
you are never far.

~
I believe in dreams
that comfort in the night,
bringing your sweet love
to my life.

I believe in happiness,
when I am with you
as my feet are dancing
and my heart makes it
true.








to soar the heavens

Crazy

Call me crazy
but you know it's true,
call me crazy
I am head and heels
over you.

Call me crazy
if that is what crazy people do,
call me crazy
for spending my day dreaming
of you.

Call me crazy,
crazy in love with you,
call me crazy
crazy times two.

This thing we call....

Music fills the air

as if summer were here

and I lay in your arms

with only our hearts

to share.

Nothing between us

that we can't overcome,

there is a magic that rules

the moment in this thing

we call love.

 

Close your eyes and

you'll know that I am there,

the grass beneath us and

blue skies with nothing

but happiness to spare.

 

My heart took to singing

and I began this dreaming

and that is where you appeared

as if it was right our of thin air.

 

Close enough I could feel you

and sense your being right here,

that is how it happens, one, two

fingers snapping and a memory

is here to share.

 

I end my day with a goodbye to the sun

and hello to the stars in the heavens above,

but the best part of this moment is that I'll

be with you, if only by the power of a

dream that waits to come true.

 

~

 

You gave to me your love

and for that I thank you so,

you are the love of my life

and thru each day it shows.

 

Peaceful is this sweet embrace

in a calm that soothes the soul

as I lay here daydreaming of

us heart to heart and face to

face.

 

 

~

Ya gotta thank the heavens

for this moment and the

chance to meet with fate

and surface with a smile

on my face.

 

Ya gotta believe in dreams

and know that the come true,

if only at night where I

lay here thinking of you.

 

Ya gotta embrace this love

that has taken us by surprise

and accept the challenge

that is right here before our

eyes.

 

Ya gotta know it is true

that our paths are now one

and that we are here to

celebrate this thing we call

love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reached for your hand..

The beauty of life and
the magic of dreams,
entwines our souls
for all eternity.

Distance the fool
to the heavens we soar,
the embrace of hearts
are like never before.

The song of love
is for you my dear,
accompanied by the soul
our love is shared.

~

 

Touched my heart and I smiled,

embraced my soul and I cried

as the magic of love could

not be denied.

~

 

I believe the mountains are here for us to climb,

 we took their challenge and crossed the great divide.

The silence is broken
by the song of my soul,
sung by the heart it
never grows old.

The truth behold,
I love you so,
you are the joy
and I am not
letting go.

~

Vince Vance & the Valiants - All I Want For Christmas Is You [HQ]

The Heart holds the pen

It is past my getting up time,
I dreamt both night and day,
I didn't want to wake up and
have your vision fade away.

It was the sharing of a moment,
simple things we say and do,
that make this life so darn special
that I'd spend it dreaming, dreams
of you.

~

Spinning around in circles
and all seems so fine but
when I stand still a tear
drop falls from my eyes.

As long as I am moving,
sorrow has no place for you
and I, but when I stop spinning
the memories haunt this soul
of mine.
~
I took a page of life
and I tossed it to the wind,
wasn't sure if it was a
beginning or simply and end.

The page of life soared
to the heavens it flew
with the wind behind it
reached the sky blue.

The sun came out shining
and the page to earth fell
and to my surprise it had
no words written on it at all.

I asked about the timing
and I quivered at the response,
that each day belongs to
the love within our hearts.

I took a page of life and
I tossed it to the wind and
it quickly returned with
the words" your heart holds
the pen"








Close your eyes,
close your eyes,
close your eyes
and open up your
heart.

I can see the love
in the dark of night
like angels of heaven
we dance on clouds high.

Close your eyes,\
close your eyes,
close your eyes
and open up your
heart.

Hold my hand
and follow me,
we challenge the day
to find our destiny.

Close your eyes,
close your eyes,
close your eyes
and open up your
heart.

~

Love is

I found my place in the heavens
in your arms for all eternity,
that is the meaning of love
waking up in the middle of a
dream.

Consumed by the moment,
a smile took me by surprise
and I giggled at the thought
that we were dancing you
and I.


It is a fact that you "can't change history"
but we can have a hell of time writing tomorrow.

Let My Heart Do The Talking

Sings > I let my heart do the talking
and my soul began to write,
the feeling that took over
dictated this magical flight.

The sunshine in my morn
and the moon glow at night,
according to my heart
you're the love of my life.

I let my heart do the talking
and my soul began to write,
the feeling that took over
dictated this magical flight.

It might be a love song or
the well written truth,
that this love of ours
doesn't need any proof.

I let my heart do the talking
and my soul began to write,
the feeling that took over
dictated this magical flight.

It molded forever
out of the love we share,
that is how our hearts learned
the meaning of "to care"

I let my heart do the talking
and my soul began to write,
the feeling that took over
dictated this magical flight.

Happy and Sad

I'm happy to hold you
here in my heart and
sad that the mountains
have kept us apart.

Warmth in the moment
when I share with you,
but what I wouldn't do
 to stroll hand in hand
under the blue.

I'm happy to hold you
here in my heart  and
sad that the mountains
have kept us apart.


Wake in the morning
and share in your smile,
spending a day together
is most certainly a wow!

I'm happy to hold you
here in my heart and
sad that the mountains
have kept us apart.

To feel your presence
is amazing as can be,
but somehow the
darkness got a hold on
me.

I'm happy to hold you
here in my heart and
sad that the mountains
have kept us apart.

Our hearts together
bring happiness and joy
but the longing for you
bringing a sadness that
distance employs.

I'm happy to hold you
here in my heart and
sad that the mountains
have kept us apart.


make everything better

...an early Merry Christmas

I give you my heart
to do with as you will,
it's yours to keep
to protect and shield.

Keep it safe
and don't let it fall,
it is fragile at best
and doesn't handle
close calls.

I give you my heart
to do as you will,
it's yours to keep
and to protect and
shield.

May it bring you happiness,
like you have brought me
and filled your life
so completely.

I give you my heart
to do as you will,
it's yours to keep
protect and shield.

I don't have a void
and this is why
you gave in return
your heart by surprise.









Waking up in song
means I love you,
singing all day long
means it gotta be true.

It puts a bounce in my step
and a sparkle in my eyes
and my heart can't help
but sing a song for you.

Waking up in song
means I love you,
singing all day long
means it gotta be true.

It puts the sun in my morn
makes me giggle and feel warm,
my day is brighter and nicer
ridding my life of the storms.

Waking up in song
means I love you,
singing all day long
means it gotta be true.

The skies have never been so blue
as when I am thinking of you,
my day takes on a new form,
this must be the new norm.

Waking up in song
means I love you,
singing all day long
means it gotta be true.








Priceless gifts of love,
that is what you give to me,
you're my dreams at night
and my morning cup of tea.

You're the warm embrace
that holds me so ever tight,
in the dance upon the heavens
you're the love of my life.

~
You triggered the emotions
trapped deep inside of me
and so I use the words to
express the hearts needs.

To share the morning and
hold your hand each day
as we walk through life
in this extraordinary way.

~
The power of touch
is how the heart feels,
I reached into the darkness
and the moment seemed
surreal.

Like a bolt of lightening
your energy I can feel,
as it touches my heart
and for a moment time
stood still.

~
Bridge the darkness,
with the morning light
on this journey we travel
there is you and I.

Sharing each moment,
expressing how much we care,
I knew that this was love
when our hearts were paired.
~




~
Feel the magic,
let your love flow,
from the depths
where only lovers go.

Deep in the heart,
where forever exist
you'll find the love
through a wind sent
kiss.

I took to the heavens
I set my soul free
as I felt you fused
your love now apart
of me.



~

Move the mountain
and drain the sea,
bridge the miles
with an ordinary
dream.

Wipe the tears,
infuse the heart
touch the soul
from afar.


~
I woke up in a dream and a
smile beamed from my heart
as the memories flowed
I relived that first spark.

Scrunched my blanket,
I kissed my pillow as if
it were your lips and I
dreamt you returned the
kiss.



From an early child on I had this sensitivity to my surroundings. Filled with emotion and sometimes referred to as being super-sensitive. This time of year brings out more of that in me than usual. Partially your heart tears for the sadness in the world, that people can't see the beauty in a field of flowers a warm sun or a blue sky. The other part of me races back in time and relives holiday memories. As I listen to holiday music and decorate my Christmas tree I am overwhelmed with emotion. Somehow that child surfaces in me each season and I moved by the memories of my first memory of Christmas. Unlike the young people of today, gifts if you were good, were apples, oranges and nuts in our stocking. One year it was days after the holiday, my father came down with a package. He said it must have been dropped on the roof and it had my name on it. To my surprise it was a baby doll. We may respect the experiences of others but we will never truly see through each others eyes. For our experiences are quite individual and unique to each of us.
I was ten years old and it was during the Vietnam war and it was at this time that I was aware of the pain a country suffers. Baking cookies for my brother who was in the military at the time. It was also when I more than ever appreciated what peace meant. Currently times are troubled world wide and again I question why people can't appreciate the simplicity that peace offers. Separating myself from the negativity that the media bombards us with, I find myself in the joy of the season. Thinking of you, loving you and holding you in my heart.

Child like wonder
and sparling eyes,
memories old
and new in time.

Take my hand
and follow me,
as my heart
would have it
be.

~
To be with you
and kiss your lips,
as you touch my heart
and create such bliss.

To spend a day so fine,
wasting away the time
as long as I am with you,
the skies are always blue.

My holiday of sweet,
is a treasure to believe
when you share the day
it magic will never fade.

~


Share the season,
summer to spring,
snowflake are falling
and with you I dream.

Strolling under the moonlight,
thinking about the moment
your brought your love
into my life.

Brighten Up Your Day

Absorbing the energy of love

rattles my heart while

touching my soul.

Let a little sunshine
brighten up your day
and warm your heart
with love filled rays.

The stream to the hills
it is all to me the same,
as this canvas of life
makes use of the snow
and rain.

The shadows are dancing
on the window pane
as I watch the images
cast you into my day.

Absorbing the energy,
the magic is surreal
as I open up my heart
and your love is what
I feel.

Let a little sunshine
brighten up your day
and warm your heart
with love filled rays.


~
Incredible

It might be a bit difficult
for anyone to believe,
the power of love to
sail through the dreams.

Inconceivable is what
non believers say,
but I knew different
from the very first day.

My soul took to dancing
high up in the clouds in
an embrace of lovers
deep in an eternal vow.

All Of Life

It was the cloudless night that spoke clearly, as the stars canvased the sky. There in the darkness a message that could not be denied. Love had truly surfaced, soared to unmeasured heights in a visual that gifted us with the most amazing sight.
Souls had come together many years ago and held on tightly without ever letting go. There is reason to the trials that keep the flesh apart but nothing can separate what lives within the heart.
My sigh broke the silence, my mind rattled a drift, as I felt the most amazing feeling when your love gave me a lift. Soaring the heavens, my feet no longer on the ground until I reached for your hand and you slowly pulled me down. Peaceful and yet steady, I'm in your arms once more, in the arms of my forevermore.

To close my eyes is to remove the barriers

and feel your embrace.

I never knew what is was like not to struggle,

until I found myself in your arms .

 

~

 

You are with me,

both day and night,

deep in my heart

for all of life.

 

On this journey,

where once was hell,

a place of love is

where we dwell.

 

Caring, kindness

and happiness grew,

to remove the gray

with skies of blue.

 

You are with me

both day and night

deep in my heart

for all of life.

 

 

Bound By Love

Complex might be the notion,

this connection between you and I,

like the stars to the heavens,

your heart is linked to mine.

 

There is nothing between us,

no amount of space or time,

for we are joined together

forever just you and I.

 No void in the night

as I close my eyes I see,

that you are here with me

to fill my endless needs.

 

 

This unique attachment

is eternal in its hold,

heart and soul together

a true union of gold.

Precious the gift,
strong as it can be
shines above all others
as we continue coupling.

Speaking thru silence
and touching from afar
we challenge this life
with words of the heart.

From earth to the heavens
no separation will you find,
as our souls are bound by love
till the end of time.

My eyes tell a story
that my heart can't hide,
it reveals the love that
is tucked away inside.

Over the mountains
and across a river wide,
I'd  journey to the corners
till you are by my side.

I lay here thinking
how much you mean to me,
you are the dreams of my life
you're my eternity.

I tucked you away
for that time of need,
where I can hold you close
and record a memory.

My eyes tell a story
that my heart can't hide,
it reveals the love that
is tucked away inside.


~

From my lips
a kiss for you,
through my heart
a sky blue.

Nothing can undo,
all the love I have
for you.

From my lips
a taste sweet,
through my heart
a warm retreat.

Nothing can undo,
all the love I have
for you.
~

There is a place in my heart,
especially there for you,
where dreams come true,
there is a place in my heart.

There is a song in the wind,
it takes to the sky,
with only you in mind,
there is a song in the wind.

There is an end to this tale,
where I am in your arms
as you are in my heart,
there is an end to this tale.

Tell Me More

I woke up singing love songs,
I smiled at the thought of you and I,
a giggle surfaced from my heart
as I found myself on the clouds in
the sky.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness
and I could see like never before,
your love was all around me and
it had me begging for more.

I reached out to feel your warmth
with no winter cold to hold me down,
I think we could melt more than butter
as our love heats up the whole town.

I woke up singing love songs,
I smiled a the thought of you and I,
a giggle surfaced from my heart
as I found myself on the clouds
in the sky.

The Puzzle of Life

You kiss away the darkness
bringing a light to my day,
you are the missing piece of life
that brings joy my way.

There are so many ways to tell you
how much you mean to me,
like the flowers of that once bloomed
you make every day like spring.




~

You can't define it,
it feels like a dream,
amazing the moment
creates the finest memories.

You lift my spirit and
send me soaring high,
the entwining of souls
seen above the blue sky.


~

There is a song to be sung,
a dream yet to be dreamt,
a memory to be made and
a heart to be touched.

Let me sing for you
as I dream my night away
creating a memory that
touches you day after day.

There is a song to be sung,
a dream yet to be dreamt,
a memory to be made
and a heart to be touched.
~

Till the day I die,
I'll script upon the heavens high,
the precious love we share
to announce how much I care.

You are always here with me,
you are my day and night dream,
I want and need you so,
I'll never let you go.



~
Whispers of kindness, love and joy,
as spoken by the heart to you employed.
Trust in the moment and don't let it go
as the magic of love continues to grow.

Words are just words till filled with our love
and then they are the emotions that dance on the
clouds above.

Lessons of life

Once a dear friend called and left a message on my answer machine. Caught up in the day I didn't get around to answering her call. She passed away shortly after that and it was a quick reminder of " don't do tomorrow what you can do today"

I take each moment
to thank the Lord above
that he sent you to me
and gave me a precious love.

It is relatively simple
as you are in all I see and do,
you are the sunshine in my life
as your love shines on through.

No waiting on tomorrow
to say how much I care,
you are the love of my life
to whom I dare to share.

I take each moment
to celebrate with you,
the joy of life when
our souls were no longer
two.






.

Voice of the Heart

It was there in the darkness
a quick touch to my cheek
and I knew I felt your presence
though I am still in disbelief.

Chills went through my body
as I shivered at the thought
that distance was challenged
by some unwritten plot.

I wanted to believe it,
I needed it to be so as
the love within my heart
was continuing  to grow.

Empowered by the moment,
where a mountain crushed a sea
and bridged the distance
to bring your love to me.

Contentment had surfaced,
peace from heaven fell,
when in the dark of night
your warm embrace was felt.

This moment quite special
I sensed it from the first,
when two souls were united
as one upon the earth.

Gifts of Love

As the gift giving season is rushed upon us, I found myself in the middle of creating our civic club tree for the local food bank. The president of the local garden club called and asked" What is the title of the tree this year? I responded quickly with " gifts of love" Spending a little one on one with my daughter she also brought up the difficulties in buying adults including siblings gifts.

Gifts of Love

I give you the gift of happiness,
to wear through out the day,
it matches every clothing ensemble
and it is perfect for blue skies and grey
.
The gift of peace is added,
may you feel it in the early morn
and have it spread throughout your
day like a virus in a windy storm.

But most of all I give you love,
to let you know how much I care
and what it means to have a friend
with whom my heart I share.

See With Your Heart

See with your heart
and feel with your soul,
the magic of touch
never grows old.

Gentle your hand
stroking my cheek,
absorbing the energy
that love brings.

No distance between us
as the miles quickly fade,
when you opened your heart
and I slipped in that day.

Destined Souls

 

It is unequivocally the truth,

that our love soars to new heights,

when tested upon our earthly trials.

 

~

 

Time placed a detour

the heavens redirected us.

 

~

 

Loving you is the easiest thing I have ever done...

missing you is the most difficult.

 

 

 

 

 

`

 

 The meeting of two hearts and the embrace of souls

is essential to the magic of love.

I woke unto the darkness
where the universe rules,
controlled by the heavens
the road of destiny unfolds.

It wasn't coincidental,
that our souls would entwine,
the comfortable that we share
was the first sign.

Heard your voice in my dreams,
felt your touch in my heart,
I immediately knew this was special
that a love surfaced from a far.

I yearn to spend my life with you,
to embrace each moment of the day,
predestined to be together
on earth and in the world that awaits.

My heart was yours for the taken,
no effort to place upon my face a smile,
the feelings that have taken over my soul
as removed any trace of time or miles.

It is natural for me to love you,
I am at ease when you are close to me,
for my heart is the place for you to rest,
it is where you became a part of me.












 .

* If you must force feelings, that person is not your soul mate. A true soul mate opens your heart naturally and effortlessly.

Follow Your Heart

To the top of the hill,
to the sycamore trees,
their branches sprawled
in what seems like a
dream.

Controlling the night
and making it our own,
where we are together
and never alone.

Follow your heart
and find your way,
my arms await you
day after day.

Stand tall,
reach out and
pull me near,
we have a life yet
to share.

~

My mind was working overtime
as I woke up deep in a dream,
I felt your body by my side
in a visual so complete.

The sun had yet to rise
and the day to begin
as I lay here in your arms
with this silly impish grin.

Snowflakes are falling in
this intro to a winter scene,
yet I feel the warmth of summer
with your love a part of me.

If you don't know it,
I'll repeat it once again,
there is no stopping this love
as I'll love you till the end.

Circumstance directed,
it happened long ago
set us on a path to
collide and grow.

Everyday is something new
with another kind of view,
but they all end the same
with me loving you.

I found myself repeating
the words within my heart,
they all started out with love
and you gave to them a spark.

~

Sings...I've got a song
that I can't hold back,
from my heart a love
that the angels tracked.

Finding me , finding you
together one from two.
No matter where we journey
there will always be me
and you.

I've got a song
that I can't hold back,
from my heart a love
that the angels tracked.

Finding me, finding you,
together one from two,
no matter where we journey
there will always be me
and you.

~

Lord it is no request
but a favor if you will,
to keep us healthy and strong
and from the darkness shield.

Time may be limited
and there is so much to do,
as I wait on the moment
to share as lovers do.

I know it is mighty special
and wonderful indeed,
that our hearts bonded out
of pure and simple need.

I needed to be loved and
you love me so and you
needed to hear that I
love you too.

Lord it is no request
but a favor if you will,
to guide us on this journey
before my heart stands still.

First Snow Fall

I could spend a day talking about the down side to the first snow fall, one being it is not great for travel. But there is true magic to the first snow fall. The child in me wants to run through and  catch snowflakes on my tongue and feel the coolness as it melts upon my cheeks. Images come to mind of playing in the snow, building snowmen and enjoying the snow as it creates a new canvas. Yet the flash of images that quickly worked their way into my heart included a stroll, side by side with you.

I felt your hand in mine as you pulled me close to you. Our hearts racing together under skies that were once blue. The snow is quite enchanting ,like a villa dressed in white. It cast a romantic scene, where there is only you and I. I conjured up the image of a horse drawn carriage for two and imagined  you beside me laughing while I giggled too. My heart clicked and saved the visions to get me through the day as I see you in every snowflake bringing a joy to my day.

I'd rather go about dreaming, even though I am out of control. I know that you will have the lead and my heart you'll hold. Snap and click the moment, hold that image for all time. The passion that we share is of the utmost design. Created in the heavens, sent down on angel wings. Our love is forever no matter what the season brings.

Emotion is my soul dictating to my heart,

the love I feel for you.

 

~

I'd trade my electric blanket
for your arms any day.

 

 

 

It is the first picturesque sign of winter
as I watched the snowflakes fall and
I embraced the winter chill as it
awoke my spirit while putting your
memories on recall.

The hills are quickly covered,
they now lay in a blanket of white
and it doesn't really matter
as I have you in my life.

The skies are a bit gray,
no sunshine to be found,
I think I'll spend my day
lounging around.

My mind is traveling quickly
to the days of yesterday,
where you first took my heart
and removes all shades of gray.

~
Love is an essential piece
of the puzzle we call life.

The Stir of Emotion

I dedicate the sunrise
to the one who holds my heart,
from the hollow to the mountains
and far beyond the stars.

Brightens my life
with happiness and joy,
in a powerful moment
that nothing can destroy.

~

Cloth of silk,
patterns of life,
untypical design
heart raised not
of earth.

Gold lined,
silver brocade,
the quality of love
gets better with each
day.

Woven by the soul,
with threads of the heart,
a tapestry now forms
and is seen through the
stars.

~


Emouvoir

Heart to heart emotion,
no long trapped inside,
as our souls are bonded
and forever entwined.

Arousing all the senses,
the moment so surreal
as I can feel your love
like the rush of a chill.

My breath deepens,
as your love seeps in,
rapid beats of happiness
are an integral part of me.


~

and never....

Take me in your arms
and hold me close,
take me to your heart
and never let me go.

Stroll through life and
share all that it will bring,
from blue birds at my window
to the song that winter sings.

Take me in your arms
and hold me close,
take me to your heart
and never let me go.
~

Take Me To Your Heart

It is really easy

to share my life with you,

you might cherish them

but I cherish the memories too.

 

From the stroll by the stream

to a dip in the pool ,

we shared a lot of moments

that I'll forever hold.

 

The attic might seem lonely

the hills are quite empty too,

that was until you took my

hand and met me in the blue.

 

Dances in the kitchen,

car rides at night,

the list is so long

but it represents my life.

 

Simple adventures

where we share a moment or two,

like a lunch of romance

where I am sitting next to you.

 

Down the streets of the city,

or a stroll through the park,

it matters little where we go,

as you always have my heart.

 

No thanks are needed

for the time we've spent,

because I need you my love

till time comes to an end.

 

My love for you is never fleeting

for I have taken you to my heart

and all I ask of you my love is

for you to "take me to your heart."

 

 

 

 

 

 

The music played
and to my surprise,
it took me back to
 a place in time.

I felt you near
and incredibly so,
the sweetest love
in my heart grows.

I stood still and
I couldn't move,
memories flooded
to yesterdays tune.

The music played
and to my surprise,
it took me back to
a place in time.
~
Listen to the whispers of my heart,
they speak of my love for you.
From the day use first said hello
our love continued to bloom.

Time limits the experiences but
it can't stop my passionate love for you,
for I hold you deep within my heart
under the approval of the heavens blue..

~
Dissect all of life's experience,
separate the good from the bad,
you'll find the moments we shared
were the ones that made the heart glad.

Garden walks among the flowers and
a few down by the stream and
that is how our hearts came together
like uniting souls through a dream.

Whispers of the heart
are calling out to you,
sweet love filled emotion
speak of the inner truth.

Passionately spoken,
incredibly inspired
touching my life
with a powerful desire.

Through the darkness,
directly to you,
bridging the heavens,
arching the blue.



Love filled emotions
are calling out to you,
whispers of the heart
to you and only you.

Passionately spoken,
incredibly inspired
touching my life
with each passing hour.

This Is...

This is my heart,
I give you my heart
to love and keep safe,
I give you my heart
to gently embrace.

This is my soul,
speaks if you listen,
speaks of our love
on this cloud like mission.

This is my dream
to share in this dream,
the dream that places
you forever next to me.

This is my story,
the words that I write,
how one heart met another
and our souls took flight.

This is the rainbow,
that arches the sky
bridging our memories
closer in time.

~
Rose

I saw a rose,
its petals tight
as time went on
it opened wide.

Petal by petal
I could see
the revelation
of all my dreams.

Sadness adieu
only love for you,
happiness lay in wait,
as my heart no longer
breaks.

I saw a rose,
its petals tight,
as time went on
it opened wide.

~

It is not merely letters
that form a word or two,
each infused with love,
the love I have for you.

My soul cast the memories,
to reveal what's in the heart
and that brings the sunshine
to remove all traces of the
dark.

~

Right outside my window,
an unusual stillness appeared,
no winds, rain or darkness
blanketed the air.

The clouds hid the sunshine,
the fern green upon the earth,
lay upon the hills as a reminder
that every season has its worth.

The temperatures matter little,
whether warm or mighty cold,
as our time is  about sharing
and that warms the very soul.











Arranged in various form
words that tell what is in store,
plenty of sunshine each day,
as we watch the storms fade.

I reckoned with the heavens,
I noted it in many ways
the love I feel for you
day after day.

It might not be possible,
though try I may
to find the exact words
that my heart has to say.

Gazing up at the heavens
and I knew it to be
that love placed us together
through the beauty of a dream.

Soar as One

                                                 Love...when souls reunite
                                                 and hearts merge as one.
    

No distance between us,
nor walls to divide,
you're always here
right by my side.

Whether on earth or
the heavens above,
we take to the wind
and soar as one.

The treasure recorded in time,
from soul to soul so divine.
Nothing can separate two,
as our hearts merged as one
and our love grew.

No distance between us,
nor walls to divide,
you're always here
right by my side.

Warmest of Love

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Let me kiss you sweet
as our souls merge as one,
lips to lips expressing
the warmest of love.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Let me comfort you
as you care for me,
take away your troubles
make each day like spring.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

Feel your skin next to mine
as our hearts are lost in time.
Rest easy I am here with you,
morning and night under heavens
blue.

Let me tuck you in
and sing a love song,
hold you in my arms
under the night stars.

You're the Sunshine in My Morning

Everyday is spring,
when your love is in the air,
a warmth that touches my heart.
with each moment we share.

You're the sunshine in my morning,
that wakes me with a smile and
the stars that take to the sky,
like your love takes to my heart.

Everyday is spring,
when your love is in the air,
a warmth that touches my heart
with each moment we share.

Bringing light to the darkness
and a love song to the morn .
I wake up with a smile and
with you whom I adore.

~

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake, you
put a smile on my face.

There is no place for tears to reign,
it is your love that found its way,
lying deep within my heart,
that is how this crazy thing got its
start.

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake, you
put a smile on my face.

Like a dream above the clouds,
where angels sent your love down.
That is the way this story starts,
from the moment you touched
my heart.

You take the heavy from my day,
make the cold and darkness fade.
From the moment I awake,
you put a smile on my face.

~

My eyes adjusted to the darkness
and I could truly see
that you were here beside me
and it was certainly not a dream.

Holding my hand as you
have done the days before,
I felt your presence embrace
like the ocean hugs the shore.


~

Hum a love song,
let it flow from your heart,
wordless expressions
igniting a spark.

Feel the moment,
don't let it slip away,
I'm there in your arms
day after day.

~

Life

The past year everything has been pretty much routine. I worked the same events and trade shows and pretty much saw the same people. It was a bit comfortable but it wasn't until I worked Saturday in a different area, with totally different people that the adrenaline flowed. There is something magical about touching the hearts of people you have yet to meet. It is as if not only do I touch their hearts but they touch mine. It is like being an electrical sponge and absorbing the energy. As much as it puts me on a high for the day, there is an unsettling adjustment that comes with falling back into my home routine.
You have to wonder about life and the journey we are all on. It is filled with our wants, needs, desires and dreams as well as a large dose of struggles and of course the unknown. At some point I had to reckon with the "what is " of life. Where we fit in the bigger picture and what we can expect in the future.
I found that no matter who you meet they have an unbalanced scale of heaven and hell. Everyone faces it at one time or another. There is no amount of comparison as each experience pulls at the emotion within us. So heaven and hell are nothing but the tools of emotion. Some seeming more brutal or hellish and others seemingly more unfairly positive. Of course I believe it all depends on how we are capable of digesting the experience and controlling our emotions.
In a world where there is a cloud of cruelness, one has to find their own place of peace whether through the heart, soul or simply through the dreams that await us each night.

Stepping on the clouds,
waiting on your love,
like a dream so surreal,
in the heavens above.

There is something magical,
that placed you in my life
as you travel side by side on
this journey day and night.


~

Words upon a page fueled by love and
 a breath of the soul brings it to life.

Martina McBride - Help Me Make it Through the Night (LIVE)

Hey Pillow

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover , my darling
and my best friend.

Warms my heart
both day and night,
bringing joy and love
to life.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover , my darling
and my best friend.

Danced two as one,
when you took my
soul to the clouds
up above.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

Like an angel
sent down from above,
you rescued my soul
on this journey of love.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

Sunshine when skies
are dark and gray,
you sent your love
like a warm summer ray.

I took to smiling
and smiling I did,
my lover, my darling
and my best friend.

.


I did a little talking in the wind
from my heart your love transcends,
like raindrops falling from the sky,
your love opened my eyes.

Blue birds passing in the morn,
reminds what life has in store
happiness is when I am with you
that is all I'll ever need.

There is nothing that can supersede
or take your place within me,
you are love as love should be,
my heavenly desire.

I did a little talking in the wind
from my heart your love transcends,
like raindrops falling from the sky,
your love opened my eyes.

~

Unlock the gates
and let me in,
it's sweet desire
from deep within.

Our love
amazingly so,
sent from above
to you and I alone.

Treasures from heaven,
are magical indeed,
they cast you my love
and gave to you the lead.

Unlock the gates
and let me in,
it's sweet desire
from deep within.

~
I adjusted to the darkness,
like my heart to the night
with no lights on I was
given sight.

I could see your love
embrace the eve and
feel your arms holding
me tenderly.

The moon brought us
together as it shines over you and I,
leading us on this journey
that races against the hands of time.

It must be from the heavens
as the lord look down on you and I
and blessed us with this love
to comfort in the night.

I adjusted to the darkness,
like my heart to the night ,
with no lights on ,
I was given sight.

I see the stars that shine bright,
they are yours and mine..
Distance quickly begins to fade
as I feel once more you tender
embrace.

~

Look to the blue sky
see the sun shining bright,
it's a simple reminder
of you and I.

Majestic beginnings,
surrounded by love
that is the glory of
sent down from above.

Sings >"Hey Pillow" I'm talking to you,
 "Hey pillow, there is room for two, "
  I'll wait till the end of time,
  till his heart is beating next to mine.

" Hey pillow" I'm holding you tight,
" Hey pillow" practicing in the night.
  I'll start my dreaming right now,
  falling asleep with this silly old smile.

Happy and Sad at the Same Time

To know you, to love you and to hold you in my heart

all along knowing time writes the pages.

Forever Love

So much has been written or sung about forever love. What combination of words are left to be formed to celebrate forever love?  My love for you is forever beyond the beyond. For you are undeniably one with  my heart and soul.

Till the sun falls from the sky
and the heavens no longer exist,
beyond this earthly form
like a breath of autumn mist.

I will forever love you
in the context beyond time,
as nothing  can separate
the two souls so entwined.

From the moment I awake
till I am deep within sleep,
you are all that is on mind
and always in my dreams.

Till the sun falls from the sky
and the heavens no longer exist,
beyond this earthly form
like a breath of autumn mist.

~

While gazing out the window at the fall mix of rain and snow, my mind drifted as it does each day to you. Though the view seems the same and the flowers have sometime ago faded away the vision that filled my mind was that of a full summer day. Taking your hand as you pull me close and we dance in a cloud like dream. Surreal the image and yet as real as the love I keep safely tucked away within my heart.


The image haunting,
as tears quickly arise,
I'm safe in your arms
if only in my mind.

I refused to open my eyes,
less your image might disappear,
taking a deep breath and exhaling
as the moment we share.

Across the rivers
beyond the mountains high
our love soars the heavens,
as we battle the distance
and time.

~
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna get out of bed,
I just wanna snuggle and
dream of you my friend.

I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna get out of bed,
I just wanna stay in the moment
on the clouds where our souls
transcend.

~
Seasons of Love

The rain is falling,
the hills no longer green,
another season has passed
documenting what you mean
to me.

You are sunshine of my summer
the many colors of my fall
you're the arms that hold me
through winter, until spring
comes to call.

~
I teeter like a tightrope walker on endings and beginnings,
leaning towards you...falling into your arms.

Took My Soul By Surprise

It sometimes feels eerie,

to sense your heart to mine,

but when the darkness falls

I know you are by my side.

 

The silence is replaced

with the whispers of love,

like feathers a float

comes the magic from above.

 

Our love is scripted with the heavens pen

and can be seen till all time comes to an end.

My soul knows the laughter we share as one,

from the moment we collided and bonded

out of love. 

 

~

 

It is really all around me

and it is everywhere I look,

your wonderful love is astounding

it fills the pages of life's book.

 

From the sun that shines each morn

to the moon that rules the night,

you are a vision of happiness

that took my soul by surprise.

 

 

~

It wasn't like I was waiting

as I didn't know it could exist,

the companion to my soul

that fills life with bliss.

 

 

Brings a smile to me each morning,

tucks me into bed at night,

there is no doubt in my mind,

you are the love of my life.

 

Snuggle Pillow

Snuggle pillow you are all mine,
it's that wonderful cuddling time,
You fit perfectly tucked in my arms
as I prepare to sleep under the stars.

I called your name in the dark of night
as my imagination was working overtime,
the pillow seem to disappear as it was
replaced with the love we share.

I couldn't fall asleep all night until I
felt our souls taking flight.
We took to the heavens high
and that is where we meet each night.

I am surrounded by the magic of love
that is how we dance in the clouds above,
I am falling into a tranquil spell and
you can tell by the love that in my heart
swells.

I am the luckiest person around
as I try to keep my feet on the ground,
something that is special indeed
I'm falling asleep to your memory.

Place your lips to mine ,
don't worry about the time,
we can overcome the rivers and streams,
the mountains have nothing on you and me.

I'd close my eyes and I said good night
as I could stay in this moment for life.
Snuggle pillow you are all mine
I'm  ready for cuddling time.
