For the Rest of My Life.

 I can't stop the feeling, 

no goodbye from my lips, 

the heartache that I'm feeling

has had an everlasting grip.

When days are filled with sorrow

like the rain that keeps falling down, 

I can't help but hold the memories 

that anchor me to the ground. 

There is a lot to be grateful for

yet I still sense the heavy blue, 

as you left a void in me 

that somehow within me grew. 

Life is filled with challenges

and I watched many come and go, 

but nothing touched as deeply 

as the thorn of a rose.

The screams are all in silence,

as no one else can hear, 

as I try to soothe the ache 

that nothing has spared. 

I couldn't ever do it, 

no matter how I tried, 

no goodbye from my lips

as I would certainly die.

It might be only memories

or the dreams at night, 

as I keep you here in my heart

for the rest of my life. 

Lifetime

 When reality sets in and

 emotions come to terms,

I understand the story is

but one side in review.

Each visual that surfaces

and memory that comes into play

takes on a different meaning

in the most unusual way.

Maybe it was selfish 

or survival to get thru the day,

Interpretation of the chapters 

adding sunshine where once rain.

One thing is most certain, 

that choices never fade, 

compounded over a lifetime 

the consequences are always the 

same. 

When the conclusion is written

and all that was is all that is, 

all the steps within this journey

become memories that slowly dim.

It's Those Little Things

 It's those little things, 

like sweet memories, 

that gets me thru the day

and make the sadness fade.

It's those little things 

like holding on to dreams, 

that gives me hope 

so that I can cope. 

It's those little things

that time brings, 

reminders of the day 

when sunshine reigned.

It's those little things

you said to me, 

that bring a smile 

from across the miles.

It's those little things

like words that bring,

a story of love 

in the stars above.

It's those little things

that have me holden on

the first sign of light

that comes from early dawn. 

It's those little things

like birds in a tree,

singing their morning song

that makes me feel strong.

It's those little things 

I am ever grateful for, 

all that friendship brings

that makes the heart sing.

It's those little things

that I look back on, 

knowing the right has

erased the wrong.

It's those little things

in the end they bring, 

a feel of simple joy 

and forever peace.

It's those little things

that only you bring

that unite us as one

in our forever love. 

Life

 I looked to the heavens

at the cloudless sky blue,

and somehow, I drifted 

directly to you.

Like a whisper 

only I can hear, 

as a reminder of the short

time we had to share. 

All that I have is 

here in my heart,

like a dream that

brings you from afar.

I laughed and I giggled

and I kept it all inside, 

as if time was playing

games with my mind. 

I reached on out to 

take a hold of your hand, 

and a pinch of the moment

woke me from dream land. 

The night is moving on in 

as my thoughts of you begin to spin,

laying my head on the pillow tonight

as I count my blessings in this, 

we call life.

Kitchen Dance

 It was a thought and it was a dream 

you took my hand; you have my everything. 

When things look down and skies are gray

a dance in the kitchen brings the sun my way. 

Pulling close and kissing sweet 

ewww a chill comes over me,

you are the song that lifts me off my feet, 

with whispers right out of my dreams. 

Keeping on living and keep on lovin

the trick that sparks the wanting,

to hold you close and keep you here

somehow our souls eternally share.

In the kitchen the lights are low

I close my eyes and I let go, 

magical as it can be

I feel you here next to me.

Can I have this dance? Song playing Only you... the Platters.

 Sometimes it takes an old song to say what I really want to say. " Just the thought of you and I begin to do"or " help me make it through the night."  It is that one connection that never goes away...a forever and a day.

Only You

Song by

The Platters

Only you
Can make all this world seem right
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

O-only you
Can make all this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

O-o-only you
Can make all this change in me
For it's true

Through the Toughest Times

 Funny how a dream creates its own reality. Experiences that only happen in a dream consciousness.  The dreams are not always what you would think as they shed light on really what the time we spent really means. The finding of who I am and a unusual strength that I receive like holding a hand through the most difficult times. Whether you realize it or not that is exactly from the very beginning did. You held my hand through times where it was impossible to make it alone. Tugging on that inner strength to get me through the day. 

Stand up and face the moment, 

time is quickly passing by. 

 I should leave behind all

that's trapped in my mind. 

Somehow you are always there

if only in my silly dreams, 

another lesson to be learned

inspired by memories.

Might have been the song I heard

before I fell fast asleep, 

or the need to understand t

what the soul really needs. 

The story was never perfect,

no happening ending in sight, 

that's left for all the movies,

this is what we call life. 

Lifetime

 Go ahead and call it Krazy, 

but the feelings for you are real,

from a thought comes a memory

that within me are instilled.

I close my eyes as I have done many times before

and there I find you waiting my forevermore. 

Some people are a page or a chapter or two

but you my sweetheart are the lifetime that

brings a sky of blue

The Luv of my Life

 The world can crumble in darkness, 

the stars can suddenly fade away. 

But one thing is everlasting in the 

love that falls like a summer rain. 

It washed away the sorrow, 

removed all traces of gloom 

and replaced it with a happiness

that just grew and grew.

I cried many a night, 

wishing for what may not be 

and then something came over me

and I realized that you'll always be

a part of me.

You're my sunshine when it's raining, 

the warmth when I am cold, 

the joy that I feel from you 

just never grows old. 

So, this my love I send you

whispers in the night, 

with kisses only for you, 

the luv of my life. 

Magical

 I don't know how you do it, 

but it's as magical as can be, 

with a smile upon my face 

and your love within me. 

It never ever leaves me, 

it's with me throughout life, 

the joy and happiness 

when you entered that night.

Heart , Soul and MInd

 It was a song I heard

and a blue bird in flight, 

a sweet morning memory

and a dream last night. 

It was the thought of your kiss,

and the warmth of your love, 

the closeness of two souls

when united as one. 

It was a feeling I had 

unique in its own way, 

that touched my heart and

gave meaning to the day.

Time has aged us 

but with you I'm sixteen,

on a lifelong journey 

that taught my soul how to sing.

I can't explain it 

no matter how much I try, 

but the difference is not in choosing

but the meeting of heart, soul and mind. 

Ever so Strong

 The gift ...to wake in your arms, 

to feel your love with each beat of your heart.

~

Each thought a smile,

each smile a dream, 

where I am with you 

and you with me. 

Closing my eyes 

and feeling your kiss, 

as our lips come together

in a state of bliss. 

No matter the age,

the soul is the same, 

when two come together

in this most loving way.

Time doesn't matter

as our love lives on, 

with each passing day

it grows ever so strong. 

Don't wake me up

 As long as we can dream

all the memories live on, 

it is kind of magical 

when the night writes 

a new song.

It seems so surreal 

bizarre to say the least, 

when I wake from the dream

where you are here with me.

It must have been a doorway

that opens on command, 

and there no time or distance

can work its awful plan.

I feel your presence, 

in a dimension of its own,

where souls come together 

and our love continues to grow.

Turmoil Orchestrated by Earth's Hand.

 The rivers arising, 

the rain still falling down,

the world in so much trouble

nature's action is a foul. 

Frightening the moments

of all those goodbyes,

the heart is broken and 

the pieces thrown around.

Weep for all the people

as an end for many nears,

like a sponge we gather

the energy of sorrow and fear.

History once more repeated 

as the ugliness appears, 

can't stop the actions 

that the devil orchestrates here.

life

 It is not fate that directs the path,

choice leads and time laughs.

Wondering what could have been

reveals mistakes and karma wins. 

Tears of many continue to fall

can't change the past at all, 

Lessons of life hard earned

a wound open unpurged 

My Fingers to the Keyboard...

 I could stay sleeping 

if sleeping makes you mine, 

I felt your presence 

in the dream of all time. \

Smiling and laughing 

as each day felt a new, 

in the dream of love 

there are only me and you. 

I didn't want to wake up

afraid it would all disappear

but somehow you are with me 

in the memories we shared. 

How could this happen,

and how did you find your way?

You entered my sleep time 

in the most magical way. 

Tucked away safely 

you are here in my heart, 

surfacing each night 

uniting us from afar. 

So patiently I wait 

till the stars are in the sky, 

and laying my head upon the pillow

where I'll find you and I. 

~

My fingers to the keyboard 

and the words began to flow, 

a smile upon my face as 

I couldn't let go. 

Just like spring sunshine, 

like the blue bird that just appeared, 

I heard a robin singing and 

I felt your love right here. 

Daisies in the garden 

and the rooster crows 

all a simple reminder 

what we already know. 

Each day a gift 

built on memories 

as I gaze out at the blue sky 

while my heart simply sings. 

My fingers to the keyboard 

and the words began to flow, 

a smile upon my face as 

I couldn't let go.

~

Touch of our Lips

 I gaze up at the heavens

as if the stars can speak to me,

knowing wherever you are 

those same stars are speaking. 

Whispering soft n song 

from deep within my soul, 

a story of love and how 

that sweet love got a hold. 

Another unwritten chapter 

of a story yet to tell, 

different words but the same 

old love spell. 

Rivers and valleys 

are quite picturesque 

but nothing can compete

with your head upon my chest.

Fingers thru your hair

as I bend to give a kiss, 

taste the sweetness of honey

with the touch of our lips. 

I got this magic from you...

 The stars in the heavens 

shine down on you and me, 

breaking the distance that

separates us by the sea.

The connection I have with you

Is beyond what anyone knew.

Touches the heart and embraces the soul,

a magical love in this amazing hold.

 

Forever and a Day

 To find the magic just to lose it once again,

so very tragic when you are not by myside. 

I see you in the rise of the morning sun and 

thru the day till the evening is done. 

The willow whispers of sweet memories

as much as you haunt my dreams, 

the sound of your voice reminds me

this was not at all by choice 

The heart sings a melancholy song

as it knows where I belong,

where the heavens reign and 

our souls will unite forever and a day

as it will forever long, 

March

 My love is distant by the sea, yet ever close he is to me. Weeping tears,the broken heart fade by day ,less we part. 

This fickled month takes control as rain and snow has a hold. Thoughts of you take the reign and bring the warmth of a sun lit day.

Secret Love

 Touched my heart and took a hold

and like the wind my soul soared. 

Across the rivers and the sea

we united beyond the dreams. 

The feeling can't be explained as it's

more powerful than thunder and rain.

Taking over me as it taught my spirit

exactly how life should be. 

The secret is in the smile 

 as your love knows how to wow!

as it touched my heart and took a hold

and like the wind my soul soared.

Love Like Ours

 My mind said one thing 

and my heart another,

but it was thru my dreams

my soul began to shudder.

The connection is all so true

as there's no way of losing you, 

with me all through my day 

love like ours just can't fade.

Before I Go

 Before I go, 

 I leave with you my heart, 

all the words that flowed from inside

the story that of you and I

Remains

 ...it's been said " Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" or a moment  in time. One chapter ...because no one gets the whole book. Sighs.

How many tears have fallen?

I lost count so very long ago, 

Time took control but the 

memories never quite fade.

 I mastered screaming in silence 

shouts only the heart can hear, 

no words from my lips 

only the want of one kiss.

Thoughts of you 

stir something deep within my mind.

and there I go once more screaming

in s silence patterned to the ache 

 that still resides.

Like a movie on replay 

on a dark and dreary day, 

the love that brought us 

together forever remains,

I know the Feeling

 I know this feeling, 

almost like a dream, 

awakens the spirit 

teaches the soul to sing.

Crosses the mountains

taking barriers down, 

to reach on out and 

feel more than your hand.

Call it whatever you want

but I know the difference

of a gift of love sent from 

the heavens above.

Gives me a reason

to wake in the morn, 

and see what the day 

will have in store. 

Gaze out the window

as the snow falls in place

knowing your love 

puts a smile on my face.

I know the feeling 

that draws two as one, 

a special connection

of a forever love.
