Down by the River....

Singing>

Down by the river, where the ducks fly,
a catfish was jumping and a turtle
strolled by.

A tree had fallen and the log did
some callin to sit and watch,
the blue sky.

I started dreaming and I declare,
there was some kind of magic,
going on here.

My heart started moanin and my
knees to shake, I was sure this
was, no mistake.

I saw the shadows on the clouds
that day, a form of lovers, in
the clouds lay.

The barge pushing coal, caused
a real big wave, I heard it splash
against the rocks, that day.

Wake up darling, I am no foul,
you touched, the spirit of my very
soul.

Soaring with the wind, we took flight,
mighty special, with you by my side.

Down by the river, where the ducks fly,
a catfish was jumping and a turtle
strolled by.

Sweet Love Kisses!

To live is to allow the sunshine in on the darkest days and

laughter when the alternative is to cry!

WELCOME IN!

Sweet Love Kisses

Sweet love kisses in every drop of rain,
directed not to miss ya, I’ve got a
perfect aim.

Rainbow of laughter escapes from within,
red , blue and yellow and a little black
berry sin.

Sweet love kisses in every drop of rain,
directed not to miss ya, I’ve got a
perfect aim.

The thought of you smiling, warms
my heart, but can’t dry the rain drops,
they’re directed not to stop.

Sweet love kisses in every drop of rain,
directed not to miss ya,I’ve got a
perfect aim.

When no one is looking, hold a snow

flake close, it's just rain drops
morphing to let my

love show.

Sweet love kisses in every drop of rain,

directed not to miss ya, I've got a

perfect aim.

Forever

When I said friends forever
it doesn’t mean till we disagree.

When I said I love you
it isn’t for the moment in time.

When I laugh it’s not be
cause I’m laughing at you
but celebrating the joy of life
with you.

When we bonded, it’s not
because I chose to, but
because a higher power
made it so.

When I dance in the clouds,
it’s not a gesture of fantasy,
but a glimpse at reality.

This is Forever’s Embrace

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.

The Mystery of Life

I thought I found a place where I could run away, the ultimate for the mind and soul to escape,the further into the journey, the more distant you stood. Like a child in circles I was trapped in the woods. The thicket awfully heavy with brier bush all around, but with winters clothes, I kept closer to the ground. A few thorns made their way into the surface of my skin, just enough to remind me I wasn’t sleeping in.

Finally a top the mountain, where the land levels off , I tried to distant the memories, not to give them any thought. The sky draped like a canopy, repelled the saddening of the heart, sealing in the sounds of a song bird, the melody of the Lark.

Covering so much territory and still no where to go, the moments filled with mystery had finally let me go. Leaves of Oak that had dried and fallen on the ground, created a bed , inviting to lay the soul on down. For a few moments I curled like a baby in its worldly womb, secure without the darkness that most certainly can loom. Moments rushed to hours and I questioned where I stood,I was lost in my mind and still very little understood.
~~~

A treasure box opened, a glimpse of the inside,
an unwelcome visitor viewed the gifts of heart
and mind.

I saw the words of yesterday, folded and set aside,
an invasion into my thoughts and moments of
shared time.

The chill shook me like a stampede of rhino’s
running free, the pounding of my heart felt
the pressure from the weight of the deepest,
darkest sea.

The intrusion head on into the path of respect,
colliding with destruction, left nothing but a mess.

Weakened is the foundation that from
the start was poorly set, the first blocks
of life need love to be there best.

The structure that tumbles to the ground,
lacked the adhesive of trust to keep it firmly
bound.

Saddened am I for only one chance we
will ever get, to walk the earth in happiness,
without the worry of a threat.

The Most Magical of Space

A brass hinged gate swung open wide
and you and I entered, to see what was inside.

A hidden treasure, a friendship of gold, the
secrets of life, that have yet to be told.

Once in the garden, we laughed and we
played, sharing simple joy, we were
released from the day.

Entwined with the feel of hearts in embrace,
with two on lookers, Duck Mabel and
her life long mate...

They Quacked a few giggles, blushed a
red faced, as they watched love,
beautifully taking place.

Nature has a few secrets of love and
care, but I have a better one, it
magically brings you here.

Close your eyes my darling and
allow your mind to race, into
the secret garden , our most
magical of space.
~~~
Once yesterdays Hideaway

Cobwebs in corners, spiders down
the wall, dust on the boxes and
scattered memories fall.

Letters of love, books and
childhood dreams, tears of
yesterday, taken to extreme.

Sudden joy and laughter
is shared and the darkness
of the day, just disappears.

The presence of love,
warms my heart and
lit the room , giving off
a emotional spark.

The Gables in silence, now
filled with song. Hearts
have met, where only fear
once belonged.

Wooden floors, now marble lay,
and the walls of darkness
have no debate.

No king nor queen in this fairytale,
or stories of magic or unneeded skills.

For two hearts a fancy and two
hearts play, in my corner...... once
yesterdays hideaway.

~~~~


With the distance has come a sense of healing, making light of emotion is the avoidance of heartbreak. In understanding the heart and mind as it clings on to memories and moves on to new beginnings. The teetering effect eventually balances to strengthen the spirit. With your patience and loyalty you have seen me through the trials of injustice to surface the heart above rough waters.

I laughed as we salted the slug and squashed him into history. The closing of one door leads to the opening of another through each days reflection. I understand more then ever that life is a set of Dominoes , each leaning upon the other, builds a sequence of events to promote growth through a structure of experience in the trails and triumphs of life.

Singing>

Frost covered path, a blanket lay,
to ten mile creek, on a cold winter day.

Train whistling on down the tracks,
steaming with a load of coal on its
back.

Courted by the birds in the spiraling
trees, I started singing to your
memory.

Dancing across a fallen branch,
holding your hand, I was taking
a chance.

Allow your heart to mesh with
mine, knotted a braid that will
never untwine.

Life is a work of art, museum
quality, can’t duplicate the spark.

The closer you are and the more
I see, how wonderful life was
meant to be.

Every morning and every night,
I thank the Lord for making
everything right.

Happy New Year

The school girl giggles at the thought of just one kiss,
the embrace of love to my heart, where you exist.

I could cry about the yesterdays or the years it
took to meet, but I choose to bless the collision
of such an extraordinary feat.

Common is the moment of the ordinary creep,
but the time I spend with you is exceptionally
sweet.

Impish a smile between you and I, I’m holding
a secret, I tucked safely inside.

No instruction needed, no data to hide, all
I need to do is, to close my eyes.

My head upon your chest, the sounds of
your heart beat, these are the visions with
the sound of love, I take with me to sleep.


Good Night

Everyday!

Walking down the street, talking in my sleep,
counting stars in the sky.... Everyday a little more
magical, every dream a little more powerful,
every moment wonderfully spent with you.

Dancing by the stream, listening to cardinals sing,
sharing smiles with you..... Everyday a little more
magical,every dream a little more powerful,
every moment wonderfully spent with you.

Climbing mountains high, singing and feeling spry,
reaching on my tip toes up to the sky. ....Everyday
a little more magical,every dream a little more
powerful, every moment wonderfully spent with
you...

Sings in a whisper> Everyday a little more magical, every dream a little
more powerful, every moment wonderfully spent with you.



This Celebration!

I'm singing a song, I'm dancing the night long,
partnered with such passion,
this couldn't this be wrong.

I feel inside, that you bring when you hold
me close in your evening dreams.

I'm loving you more, with each waken breath,
a touch of hearts puts life to the test.

I'm singing a song, I'm dancing the night long,
partnered with such passion,
how couldn't be wrong.

~~~
Deep In my Heart

Your love is deeply ingrained in my heart,
like the sun at night,it rids life of the dark.

I know that you are reaching out to me,
The touch of magic caused a quiver like the
rumbling of a stormy sea.

Such energy brings to life,the miracle of
it all has me fighting to hold you tight.
.
Your embrace isn't earthly bound,
we dance to love where ever clouds are found.

I can't believe that the year is almost over, as I reviewed the previous years poetry, I saw a wide range of experiences and accomplishments. Today, I took some time to explore the options that await and to give a some what of a precise spin on the plan for the year 2007. There were many challenging moments, at the top of the list was my drivers license. I felt like the oldest 16 old to ever have lived. I felt all the initial excitement and freedom that comes with driving down the road and being in control of where I go and where I stopped. Oh! there were a few exceptions the gas prices, occasionally limited how far and how often I traveled the distance.

I think this experience tied for first place with doing the very first book signing, Oh my God, they wanted my autograph, it wasn't a thousand books but they were selling and people were reading and enjoying the words of Rachel Charlotte Miller the author.
I found the meaning of true friendship and the completeness thats comes from total acceptance from both self and peers. We celebrated, we laughed and occasionally we shed a tear.
I created wonderful new skincare products and customers were coming back to reorder, little steps of success. Not every product was as successful there were a few that didn't land the top ten selling list.
Spring the end or the beginning, we celebrated a birthday and the initial start of spring, we did it we made it through the harsh northern winter, together and the best part we did it smiling. Trade show, events, book signings, art shows and the list goes on. I met so many people and I had a great time doing it.
I plan to be more selective on the events I choose to appear at and more organized in my over all business. I am going to file paper work in a timely manner and be more productive with my time.
Personally I am going to celebrate each morning that the sun rises with the utmost respect for
life. I will never take for granted all the beauty that is bestowed on us. On a more personal note, I will try be the best inside and out .

The Mirror

The rooms reflection appeared in the mirror and
I felt a separation like I wasn't there.

I closed my eyes and then I saw, where love
goes when it flows from the heart.

Free from the body, our minds unite and the
touch you'll feel, is my kiss good night.

Sleep well my darling, a blanket I'll send
stuffed of devotion, for my best friend.

~~~

The sky is bluer, the stars never truer
since the day you entered my life.

The world is magical, love now rules,
since the day you entered my life.

Everything looks brighter then bright,
since the day you entered my life.
