Winter

Nature's lace upon the hills 

reflects the moon like in stills,

whispers of days gone by 

brings the memories to mind. 

The snow fell upon the hills

and the days slowly passing by,

as if trapped in the moment

and needing you by myside.

Winter is the artist

though captured have I, 

the design of a season 

time after time.


 The hemlock heavy and

the green frosted with white,

stands in silence as the winds

speak like a riddle in rhyme.

Love Challenges Winter

Spiraling hill of leafless trees
a silhouette against the gray,
suddenly swayed with the wind
to announce winter had found
its way.

As if the trees were dancing
they moved from left to right
partnering with the season
for an early winter sight.

Snowflakes from the heavens
dressed in puffs of fluffy white
scattered upon the earth
creating a stillness in the night.

Written in the heavens
the bond of two souls as one
as they stand to challenge another
season with the power of love.

Momentos of Winter

When two hearts come together
it is the soul that soon reveals,
like a delicate rose in bloom
each petal has a tale.
 
When day meets with night
and the sky is dark and gray,
the sun no longer shines,
that is how I feel when you
are away.
 
~
I am never gone,
no not very far away,
feel the beat of your
heart that is where I stay.
 
So go on with your day,
enjoy it all if you will,
I am right there with you
that is my love you feel.
 
~
 
I was kind of lost in the darkness of the sea,
sent on a ship to sail through the dreams.
The night was long and lonely was I as
I was looking for you to be here by my side.
 
I thought to take the challenge and look world wide,
thinking that a tear drop would erase the quickly passed time.
I reached in the darkness and it was to my surprise,
you were never far you were always in my mind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 






When you look as far as you can see,
the view is more of the same,
full of my love for you.
 


As I gaze out my bedroom window and watch as the snowflakes gingerly fall to the ground, I am filled with mixed emotions. If you accept the inevitable you find the snow almost calming in a chapter that reviews days long gone by, while placing a new blanket of white upon the winter scene. Like a new rendition of and old play the memories collaborate heart and soul to breathe life into yesterdays thoughts. Happiness, sadness and a incredible ache that begs to be soothed. Tears of the heart as one dares to make sense of a long twisted journey. When our wants battle our needs and neither surface as a winner, it times to take a look at the path laid before us.


Snowflakes are falling,
this much I do know
another season  upon us,
no matter where we go.

So many chapters,
pages of yesterday,
some of sorrow
and the joy we celebrate.

I can't change what is written,
I am in the here and now,
so I wipe the tears away
and leave with you a smile.





`
 I don't feel rested like a bear in hibernation,
for without  your energy  I am an uncharged battery.

~
I have found and lost myself so many times
that I no longer no where to look.
`

My heart literally aches,
that don't seem quite right.



I don't necessarily think I know what tomorrow will bring,
that is why I figure I will leave it up to God...
good to pass the buck now and than.
~




 

~

You are the magic in every song,
the joy in my heart and you are my forever love

~

Listen with your heart
and feel with the soul,
amazing moments,
tenderly unfold.
 
I see the sunrise
and the sky blue,
the feel of love
in a moment true.
 
Distance matters very little,
for your love is here in my heart,
no distance can separate,
what was joined from afar.
 
 
 

~
Merging of hearts,
your imprint on my soul,
speaks the truth
whispers of days of old.
 
Searing the memories,
time makes us the fool,
we walk the distance,
through a tale still untold.
 
Embrace each moment,
and everything you do,
remember I am with you,
I am earth and sky blue.
 
Our love is so precious,
it's your and mine alone,
a gift to take with us,
wherever we may go.
 
 
Merging of hearts,
your imprint on my soul,
speaks the truth of
memories of old.
 
 
 
I
 
 
 




`

 This is love as it bridges a sea,
bringing your love closer to me.

This is love right out of my dream,
I am in your arms where I was meant to be.

Winter Wonderland

Memories are like tales yet to be told,
stories of love and friendships of gold.
I traveled the many seas and as I
awake I find it was only make believe.

I walked along the shore, my mind
a drift like so many times before,
I thought of you in my arms and I
couldn't stop the racing of my heart.

~
Silence No Longer Rules

My heart whispers in song and
my soul shouts of happiness
as I dance to the music in
your arms where I belong.


Spinning in circles, round and
round I go as I am spun right
out of a dream to your awaiting
arms.

My heart whispers in song and
my soul shouts of happiness as
I dance to the music in your
arms where I belong


I took to dancing and the steps
led me to you and I smiled
as I dreamed of the sky blue.





The upside is February is lighter later and longer, even though I am grounded from an Eastern snow storm. Stuck inside gives me way to much time to think. So here goes my daily thoughts..People rarely want to discuss personal things in their life. I was pretty much the same way, keeping personal things to myself,  somethings were just off limits. But today I spoke of two sides of sex, the aggressive, forced ugly side and the beautiful consenting lovely side, like my own personal secrets.. Funny thing is I never really spoke about sex out loud. But I felt it to be freeing in an unusual way. As if acknowledgement was conducive to a sense of peace. In my early years I thought of sex as a forced and ugly experience and it wasn't till much later in life that I realized sex could be a beautiful loving experience. With a loving experience comes respect, tenderness, love , warmth, freedom and yes a personal empowerment. In ways that self empowering attitude took over all aspects of my little world. From business, to home life and friendships. It was something my sister said years back she said " you are to nice." It can't be right if in not wanting to hurt someone else you hurt yourself. I know that I have definitely been in that trap for way to long. I mention this only in that in speaking out loud and hearing my own voice allows me to relive the positive and let the negative go.

"Can I leave a tender a
passionate kiss upon
your lips? "  " As long
I can return the same
with a warm and
gentle kiss."


Hold you close and
feel your heart beat,
the image is magical
and lifts me off my
feet.

Whispers of love,
that carry me through
the day, so warm it can
melt the snow on the
stormiest day.

"Can I leave a tender a
passionate kiss upon
your lips? "  " As long
I can return the same
with a warm and
gentle kiss."

The Love you give to me...

Underneath the winter snow lies springtime,
beneath the  frozen soil the garden grows,
if you care to look, love is what you'll see,
like the love for you that grows in me.

The winter season has spoken and sent
 to us another memory,on top of the
 mountains and down by the stream,
winter lefts it mark like you who
 gave to me a dream.

Underneath the winter snow lies springtime,
beneath the  frozen soil the garden grows,
if you care to look, love is what you'll see
like the love for you that grows in me.

Happy New Years!

I woke to the thrashing about of broken branches hitting up against the windows. The hollow rarely fell prey to the hungry winds, as the tall stately trees which carefully lined the hills created a barricade which usually kept the arrogance of the high winds from playing havoc in the hollow. Powerful and a bit mischievous the approaching winter storm no longer danced on tree tops but dipped deep down to master the moment. Placing a familiar white dusting over the valleys and snapping the tallest and strongest of trees the wind again turned the page from comfort to remind us of our vulnerability to the storms of life.
Our habit of recording the moments and documenting the days happenings brings with it a beginning to an end. The last day of a year and the entering in of a new one proves that time indeed stands still for no one. The lessons of life gone unchallenged tease us with our own ignorance, for we cannot possess, nor control the moment. To master time one was must realize that each breathing moment is an experience filled with a variety of choices.
I glanced out the window and watched the dark sky as it was being replaced by an unseen sunlight. The sun's rays battling to pierce through the thick dark clouds of the mornings winter storm reminded me of your love which finds away each day to shine from the heart to brighten my spirit.

Allow no fear to enter in,
your warmth is all I need.

I feel it every morning
and it makes my soul sing.

Sky Blue on A Winter Day

Living in a high volume technological world adds a thread of vulnerability to our way of life. Interactively connected, world to world, that which unites quickly divides. Each hour our electrical power had been disrupted proved only of our greater dependence upon means from which we have little control. I rolled through the many emotions first of maintaining a safe quarters to coming to terms with the isolation that quickly surrounds you. The first day came with a set of withdrawal symptoms as if our worlds truly had been divided.
The following day I felt numb, not from the loss of power to the every day chores of life, what I was experiencing was more than a mere infraction upon my lifestyle, it was withdrawal from the explosion of this newly created world. The interference with our world to world bond only proved how powerful the outside connection which tightened the grip upon our lives had become. The utility companies quickly arrived and examined the situation as they proceeded to bring some order to the last few days. It was at this time I escaped into my bedroom as I began to read I fell into a sense of clam as I reviewed the magic of our love which no power, technological or otherwise could divide. Pen in hand the ink flowed across the paper. The words were a blend of emotion from the battle to retain to a cuddling warmth of succession. Not sure if it was merely memories that bridged the moment or the energy of the soul which spanned all time and place. All I was sure of was as the words appeared the reality of what is took its rightful place in my heart to whisper of love.

Fate took a mountain and sailed it out at sea,
as the whispers of memory sent your love to me.
~
Powerful such energy to ignite our love and as quick as flashing lights unseen barriers tighten like a glove.
~
The bond of love strengthened as it weaved
the golden sun lit color and the blue of the sea.
~
Winter
Winter approached with fury and a game of misery to play, but it didn't count on love to repave the way. Sings > Whispers of memory, whispers of love, calmed my soul and sent your dreams to hug. La la la la, la la la la you stayed with me and we caught winter by surprise and turned it into spring as we watched the sun rise. la la la la , la la la la We caught winter by surpise and turned it into spring as we watched the sunrise.

The Newly Fallen Snow

A dusting of snow along the winding
stream, evokes sweet thoughts
and warm memories.
~
The water reflects a border of trees,
but if you view with your heart,
my love you will see.

Human Frailty

The powerful northern winds choreographed a dance with the trees of the hollow. A variety of hickory, sycamore and oak towering over the path of Stoney brook swayed uncontrollably as if they were bowing to the heavens. The howl of the high winds and the snapping sound of the trees could be heard as their branches bent in half as they nearly kissed the surface of the earth. I stood sheltered between two young pine and felt little of the force of nature as it took full command of the upper ridge. A slew of fallen branches lay across the path creating a scene of destruction and thus shedding a view of our vulnerability as we stand one with nature. Thus the lessons of life best learned from nature herself appear, respect for the simplicity and the mighty energy of the season.
~
It is not with fear that we travel through life,
but cloaked in the embrace of love and respect,
for neither shall lead us a stray from the light of
the spirit, which illuminates even on the
darkest of days.
~

We can either allow the weight of others to hold us
down or to lift us up, inevitably the choice is ours.

Winter Love

The song birds chanced the winter and decided to stay, strong as our love they knew they'd find away. Foraging about the fallen snow, feasting on the berries of the hollow. Taking to the trees by the stream, a beautiful sight did I see, robins and a mix of cedar wings by the hundreds reminding me of spring.

Sunshine


Tripped and fell on a barb wire fence,
snagged my jeans and away I went.
Tumbled down the hill and to my surprise
two red robins went flying by.

The winter season has been easy on us,
just ask the squirrels as they feast on nuts.
They know the weather has been to kind,
just like your love that brought the warm sunshine.

I am so glad you .....

Winter now upon us and outside the window a scene, the more you view, the more you will believe. I saw smiles in the hills and joy was all around and in the silence I heard the laughter as the snow was falling down. Memories teasing, look out the window now! and the moment like a photo of dancing on the clouds.

The Rising Sun




With the winter sun rising and the darkness to my
back, all I need is to think of you and the
magic brings you back.

Dreaming, Dreaming of you.....



Unexpected Love

Enthralled in the moment, as snowflakes gingerly fall
and the sun shining, finds a way through it all.


Past the thicket and the woodlands, the trail
twist and winds and soon enough the
path has us both entwined.


The water lay in silence, barely does it
move, crystal in nature, it seems
so awfully smooth.


Peering into the reflection, on the
glaze of diamond ice, a view of
unexpected love, stands the

image of you and I.


Lost

I was lost, till that day you found me ,
a kiss of life and joy all around me.


Walking like clouds beneath us,
covered with a sprinkle of love
dust..


Dreams are never the same,
quick, snap and save that frame.

I was lost till that day you found me,
a kiss of life and joy all around me.

Visions of happiness, traveling
beyond the abyss.

My heart heard the bells chime,
love songs all the time.

I was lost, till that day you found me,
a kiss of life and joy all around me
.


~~~

I woke to find your hands on my shoulder,
my straps falling gently to the floor.

Wrapped up in the morning moment,
my heart was begging for more.

A visual like no other, the magic of love
brought you here.
I could feel the comfort of your arms and trace
the smiles from the heavens past the tears.


Dancing hearts lovingly embrace, as the sunlight
reappears, never let go of the feeling, the love
that conquers all of fear.


Let the light live through you and turn
on in the outer hemisphere, the place where
you and I can meet, beyond the dreams
of the commoners ear.


A Winter Stroll

I was strolling, as the sun said its goodbye
and the moon took its place in the sky ,
feeling blue, without you.


Then suddenly there’s laughter and my
heart chased after, to find that you
were waiting for me, and this
was not just another dream.


With minutes behind me, the sun now
shining, as you melted every flake of
snow, with that love of yours ,
that warmly glows, over me.


I want you, to want me, to hold me
and kiss the breath of day.


I’m glad I am in your arms,
like setting off a love alarm, with you.


~~~

We don't have to paint the sky, the rainbows are in your eyes,
the dreams and magic are ours.

We don't have to dance alone, the clouds a loves zone and you
and I waltz there.

We don't have to pick a song, we knew the words all along and
our hearts now sing it.

We don't have to dream, our love reality and we can't deny it.

We don't have to shed a tear, I know how much you care....


Just look tonight, those stars shine bright
and all the world will be fine, as I have
you by my side.


~~

Rose

Meadows and mountains, sunshine and moonbeams,
in the world of love, they’re the foundation of dreams.


Close your eyes and you will see, on this journey,
you’ve been right next to me.

I’m there when you wake up, to kiss you, my sweet
and when night falls, I’ll be the first in your dreams.

Unlike the petals of the ordinary rose, this bloom
more desirable, as each day it grows.




Everyday of the Year


Your my spring, my summer and fall,
your my love, when winter comes to call.



Mystical nymph in a winter storm.
dancing and loving, our world transformed



Love dipped snowflakes make a play,
flurry filled kisses blow your way.

Silk and Satin Dreams!

I tried to freeze each moment and hold the
frames of time, but you kept sending
sunshine to melt this heart of mine.
~~


Why

Why did ya go and make me love ya so?
Tamper with my heart and tie it up in a bow.

Why did ya go and make me dance and sing?
Tickle my heart and make my soul scream.

Why did ya go to such extremes, to paint
the hills with your memories.

Why did ya go and make me miss ya so ?
A hole so big, that a forest would grow.

Why did ya go and make me miss ya so?
Cause baby I'm missin you now!
I Do what I must!
I do what I must to be close to you,
as the swallowtail sucking on a
honeysuckle bloom.

Absolution divine, spins the heart
stirs the mind.

Temptation and a little tease,
excitable moments, when your
with me.

I do what I must to be close to you,
as the swallowtail sucking on a honey
suckle bloom.

So natural loves embrace, whimsical
and magical, the weave is laced.

Sweet kisses are such delight, strewn
though the stars and the moon at night.

I do what I must to be close to you,
as the swallowtail sucking on a honey
suckle bloom.
No time in our life do we absorb as much knowledge in such a quick period of time, as when we are children. It is at this time of our life that the groundwork for the future is being set.. Our beliefs mixed with hope and faith. surface through out our life to bring us through all the daily challenges. For me, life began at the age of ten, still a child and yet growing and understanding more about life then ever before. An implacable time, literally, one foot in childhood and the other leaping forward to adulthood. Awkward and yet we are examining our very place in the world. Our own self worth and acceptance. Always on the move, I was acknowledged repeatedly as the new girl in class. It made bonds of friendship even more important, or less important depending on howlong I stayed to grow roots. In many ways insecurity my very shadow and yet a insatiable
desire or a inner struggle for more.
~
Love is more..... I remember having a conversation with my mother, people don’t see like I do, I said, her response” God made someone for everyone, for every person born there is a partner”. Unfortunately I think we are imprisoned into small places of the mind,that we dare not allow ourselves to expand or explore beyond the backyard of our little world.
A squall of snow may blind the eyes of sight,
but even in a storm, the heart knows what feels right.


Singing> Whispers.......

Silk and satin dreams, places you next to me.
Soothing the heart and setting my soul free.

I can feel your love around me,
delicate your touch, surrounds me.

Silk and satin dreams, places you next to me,
Soothing the heart and setting my soul free.

I can feel your love around me,
delicate your touch surrounds me.

~~

The rush of excitement, came suddenly to a stop,
a powerful explosion , love, thrust wildly,
ignited hot.


The impact of the moment, a force of reckoning,
a mishmash of emotion, conjured up the
mountain of gleam.


Brief the stimuli, the taste of nectar sweet,
the meeting of our lips, the start of every dream.


Wakens me each morning, holds my hand through
the day and when the darkness begins to fall , there
is nothing left to explain.


~~

Stand tall, reach for the sky,
grey trunks with leafless branches,
cover mountains high.

Silence tries to play a silly game,
whispering magic, sounded out
your name.

Over the hills we run and play,
the child in us found a way.

Felt your arms hold me tight,
and love , love , love filled the
blue sky.

Tickling the sprit of my mind,
dance, dance, dance just you and
I.

Stand tall, reach for the sky
grey trunks, with leafless branches
cover mountains high.
~~~
Singing>

I never wanna get out of bed in the morning,
I don’t wanna end the dream. I’m walking
under the moonlit sandy beach and your
walking, right next to me.


I don’t wanna open my eyes, I don’t wanna
make you disappear. The embrace of
your love holding me tight, is
something I don’t wanna
share.


Some say they’ve caught me walking,
or dancing in the air. A little bit distant, in a
a far away land, I was given them
a blank stare.


I never wanna get out of bed in the morning,
I don’t wanna end the dream. I’m walking
under the moonlit sandy beach and your
walking, right next to me.

Snowflakes, Snowflakes



Snowflakes, Snowflakes

Snowflakes, snowflakes fallen down,
rainbow of colors, blanket the ground.
Purple, red, yellow and blue, a little
pink and some green came through.

Happiness, sadness and a little
desire, challenged a mountain,
set a heart on fire.

Yesterday fades away, as tomorrow
eagerly awaits. Here and now I
bow to thee, trust, faith
and hope set free.

Joy mingling with the winter
breeze, send my Love to thee.
Over the hills, my kisses go,
to the one, who I love so.
Snowflakes, snowflakes, fallen
down, rainbow of colors can
be found. Hunger, thirst,
quickly devour, the magic
of the hour.
~~~
Tender Touch
Sweet tender touch, from the start,
I felt it in my heart, like a classic work of art.
~
I giggled and you laughed,you had to know, that
I was all a glow, with you..
~
The hills began to sing and the sun to shine,
I was dancing all the time, you were always
on my mind.
~
This wasn't any silly fantasy, nor was I in a dream,
it was the Lords greatest scheme.
~
Date was set and you appeared, magically right here,
the answer to my prayer.
~
Sweet tender touch, from the start ,
I felt it in my heart, like a classic work of art.
~
Sweet tender touch, from the start,
I felt in in my heart, like a ....
~~~
La La La
La la la, said the breeze, la la la, I’m on my knees,
requesting you here, it’s just my morning prayer.

La la la, sang the bird, la la la, the music heard,
wishing you were here, so that we could share.

La la la, to the dance, la la la, I’m in a trance,
as I fall in love, under the stars above.

La la la, is the beat, la la la, of my heart,
as we compose, our love grows.
~~~

With winter finally making its rounds, the winds brushed up against the hills of the hollow, dusting the landscape with a sparkling, glow of white snow. Here I am in the middle of the season, I stopped, I glanced back, a now quick glimpse of the yesterdays, compounded like a book in review. I felt the absorption of life through the magic of time. I explored the toying of my emotional desires, as I faced the reality of what is. This incredible journey filled with indescribable cravings, some obtainable and others only a sweet tease to the heart through the minds eye.
The tips of the trees silhouetted against the early evening sky, I braced myself for the dance with three brass horses, as the memories, slipped through their grasp exuding that of liquid gold.
Laughter deeply seeded surfaced, with bellowing passion. My eyes refocusing, adjusted quickly to the outline high above the clouds, my soul, your soul and the mystical bond that brought them together.

Little bits of sunshine!

Every day with you is like spring in full bloom,
beautiful, colorful and amazing it
rids the winter gloom.

One of My favorites

Limbo under leaves of green,
under blue skies and dreams.

Felt your touch in the breeze,
made my heart stop to sing.


I savor the moments, succulently divine,
absorbing the trail of magic, the creation
of a new design.

Appearing lifeless, naked trees surround,
a tease to the hills of silence, a symphony
of sound.

A stroll to the clearing, where a cabin
once stood, a reminder that a good
foundation doesn't rot like that of
wood.

The rock along the path can be slippery
when wet and occasionally moss
covered puts the journey to the test.


My mind is skipping around like stones tossed in the stream
it's here, it's there, it's everywhere,
it's in the middle of a dream.
~~

If you had whispered goodbye,
I might have understood,
but you left my heart agitated
and unlocked for good.

If once you felt the love through
the touch of morning wind.You
would know the magic started
from within.

If you closed your eyes and allowed
your soul to see, the silhouette
emerging is of love set free.
~~



Dusty wooden petals,
fragile are those of glass,
picking one last winter
rose, just might make it
the last.

Bed Rock

Wakened by the dogs barking and I couldn't fall back to sleep.In the middle of a dream with you.

Sitting down on the old bed rock,
memories started flooding and
wouldn’t stop.

Late autumn and her bitter cold,
introduction to the winters hold.

Toe tapping and singing a song,
heart beating louder duets along.

Chilled embrace of a day long gone,
yesterdays reminder through a
love song.

Stream bed nearly dry, mountain
cold water trickling on by.

The day nearly ended and the sun
to set, rain started falling and
I’m get wet.

Frozen glaze as it hits the ground,
icy reminders sparkle all around.
