 My feelings were in a bit of turmoil 

as I listened to the haunting songs, 

my mind drifted to a time and place

feeling the warmth of your spirit. 


The tears rolled down my cheek 

as I thought of the wasted years.

I closed my eyes and allowed 

my soul to soar beyond this earthly

prison. 


I reached out as if I could feel you

reaching back in some magical way,

as if my thought I could bring you here

and this pillow we would once more share. 


How could silence break all barriers of sound?

Was it the ache within my heart that cried for you?

I stopped for a moment erases these thoughts 

free your mind, hold my hand, soar high above the heavens.


I couldn't move , I lay there still as the night

caught up in some foolish daydream, 

What is it the tempts the heart and soul 

and at the same time pushes it away?


Running, running and my feet have yet to move,

weighted down by my wants and needs.

I stumbled in the darkness 

releasing my inner being through each tear. 


Free me, love me, hold me, don't let go,

can you hear me or is it the silence that rules?

Dreams are the device in which I escape, 

once more if only in my dreams I am laying 

in your arms.

Sorrow

 From the mountain to the sea, 

from the river yonder those trees. 

My heart is racing with thoughts 

conjured up in a dream. 


Rainbows don't last 

they always fade away, 

unlike our star in the sky 

it's there for another day. 


~

I'm a fool for believing

I know it can't be real, 

these emotions that have

my heart standing still. 


Like a penny in a wishing well

there is no way to escape,

I am not sure if it's wants or 

a boggle up kind of need. 


~

The silence speaks the loudest 

as it toils with the mind, 

playing games with my heart

fiddling through time. 


Chapters are written

and the pen was always mine, 

I made a choice to script

your soul here next to mine. 


~

I quivered at the notion, 

the chill raced from inside

as I wiped the tear drops 

resetting the hands of time. 


Once the day has passed 

another one begins, 

I think of you my sweet love

and how we'll meet again. 


~


If I the cause of a fallen tear, a lash to the heart, a scar to the soul, then I shall join and weep shall we of the darkness cast and stale windless sea. Gloom filled stagnant pool of fear created the waters to drown us here. Cold and rough separates the land and yet I still can feel your hand. Grasping mercifully this my plea, to lift me from my fallen knee. A chill that weakens from inside, forces me to run and hide. Hard like crystal and yet reflects the light of love, the warmth of souls, the mystery that still unfolds. Lay your head upon my breast, gentle soft with out life's test. Unlock the gates of despair and let the sadness free from here. Together we shall take flight, like an eagle who rules the blue sky. Above the winds and many clouds, beyond the barriers of the mind. One to one this bond was formed and nothing can break what God has born. Love and caring, warm and true, a friendship of many a hue.

An Empty Heart is a Loveless Soul

I wrote a poem a while back, a stanza out of it went like this " I don't need you to feel complete, I know I can stand on my own two feet, it's the walk beside me that compliments me." Yet as humans we all have basic needs. Though it does seem that some people have greater needs than others and of course there is those who seem to function with very little. I find it difficult at times to find a replacement for all that is missing in my life. The lack of intmacy, love, romance and the desire for a loving companionship leaves a void. Thinking through life I find that very little really matters if we cannot complete the pyramid of life. The security, sense of oneness with another and the basic desires like trust, happiness and the mutual sharing of a day help to unite heart and soul. I asked my heart" tell me true, what waits in the heavens blue?" "Will tomorrow a beginning bring or is the darkness the voice that sings?" To my questions there was no reply, the response was silence that toyed with the mind. Weary, I looked but could not see,for time the ruler ends the dreams. ~

...and bring you here.

Overwhelmed am I
hanging on a cloud,
dreaming of you
holding with my mind.

The stars are falling,
the moon shy's away,
the sun no longer shining
without you in my day.

My heart is weary,
my soul reveals despair,
as I try to move the mountains
and bring you here.



The field of daisy,
the hills I have climbed,
the storms of each season,
tease the spirit and the mind.

Running in circles,
nowhere to go,
heart racing faster
and my feet are awfully
slow.




Everyday I write another poem with
words of love because I am all alone.
Dreams to replace the nightmares,
happiness is when someone cares.

Every thought is always of you and
a summer day under skies of blue.
Strolling by the rocky river side
imagining you walking in my mind.
