Missing You

Running and jumping
I'm there in your arms,
can you feel my heart
beat from afar?

The sun has set,
the day moves on
as the night sky
rules with the stars.

Running and jumping
I'm there in your arms
can you feel my heart
beat from afar?

Lost in the moment
passion made a play
as I closes my eyes
and let love guide
the way.

Running and jumping

I'm there in your arms

can you feel my heart 

beat from afar?

~

The world on its axis spins

as the turmoil seems to win
and everything in a disarray
until I think of you .

Emotions on display

watch the sun rise and fade,

the passing of another day 

documented in a poetic phrase.

I envision how it should be
two souls bonded out of need,
embracing with sweet love
for all eternity.


~
Down in the hollow where
the trees meet the breeze,
the fireflies flicker and
the night is a tease.

Stars in the heavens
blanket the night
as I lay here wishing
you by myside.

Down in the hollow where
the trees meet the breeze,
the fireflies flicker and
the night is a tease.

~
Can't count the moments
as the hours pass away,
it feels like forever that
you've gone away.

I hear in the wind
the sound of your voice,
I see beyond mountains
that life depends on choice.

Can't compare
what this heart of mine feels
beating for you till
the day it stands still.

Brighter than
the stars in the sky
is the light of your love
that shines from inside.

Can't count on wishes
nor depend on dreams
what I feel in my heart
is based on memories.

Between you and I
there will always be
that something special
that makes the heart sing.

Call it desire
that lights my soul a fire
or passion that has me
begging by the hour.

Can't count the moments

as the hours pass away, 

it feels like forever that

you've gone away.

In The Summer Breeze

I wish to love you forever, 

to kiss your lips each morn.

Good Night My Love

Holidays a time of sharing with family and friends while celebrating our countries independence. The unexpected evening of fireworks has come to an end and company has gone home.  This is my favorite time as I watch Molly pushing her pillow trying to make it comfortable as she beds down next to me for the night. Funny how a dog bonds with a person. I can't imagine not having her. She was actually Audrey's dog but when Audrey went off to college, as Audrey would say " Molly jumped ship " and she somehow became even closer with me. 
Glancing out my bedroom window the stars in the sky are ever so clear. The harder you look at the sky the more stars that seem to appear. Trying to settle in for the night, I do what I do every night, thank the Lord for another day and give gratitude for the moment we first met. There is something magical about our place in mega space. All matter being energy makes your realize though we are not unique in the sharing of matter though our story of love is indeed ours and ours alone. I can't deny when I think of you I feel a warmth and a smile surfaces. Like a puzzle that is complete, you are interlocked both heart and soul into my very being.
I am reminded how precious and fragile life is and with joy in my heart I celebrate the magic of love. Good night my love.


Good night my love
with a kiss to your lips,
as I close my eyes and
see through the darkness.

In your arms each night
that is how I envision life,
from the early sunrise till
the stars are shining bright.

Good night my love 

with a kiss to your lips, 

as I close my eyes and 

see through the darkness.

Feeling without touch
I love you so very much,
as I close my eyes to sleep
I'm counting loving moments
and not sheep.

Good night my love 

with a kiss to your lips, 

as I close my eyes and 

see through the darkness.

The distance fades away
 as my pillow now awaits,
through energy your here
and another night we'll share.

Good night my love 

with a kiss to your lips, 

as I close my eyes and 

see through the darkness.

Holding you all night long
whispers of love in song,
from my heart to you
that's what love can do.

Good night my love 

with a kiss to your lips, 

as I close my eyes and 

see through the darkness.

Forever

There is something about having a busy day out. It seems as if I gather energy like a sponge that last for several days.  From not wanting to do the market in 100  F temperatures to having lunch with Kay, Lex and Mike to cleaning out cages and taking a ride to the farm for more hens. I ended the day with fireworks with William and his friend Amanda. I felt like a senior citizen for sure as they chauffeured me around.
I worked a bit in the gardens and took care of the chickens . I went down to the stream to take a dip in the cool water. For a moment in time it was paradise as the water rushed over my feet. The surrounding trees encircling like a fence. It is a rather quiet morning , even the birds have taken a break from singing.
 My mind bounces back and fourth like a ping pong ball. There was a feeling of accomplishment and a sense of calm. It is true that we can't change the world or the circumstances with which we are sometimes confronted. Like looking out a window this moment in time came with its own rewards. The water splashing up against me broke my thought process and I sat on the rocks my feet still in the water and looked at how clear the water was and how amazing it was to see the fish scatter. Life is like that the more you do the clearer it becomes.
There was coal on the edge of the embankment most likely left over from when the Coal mines flourished in the town of Mather. After doing the family tree and finding my Great, great grandfather had worked this mine and that my mother had actually stayed in the house that I live when it was once a hunting cabin for the miner made it seem less distant. Maybe I thought life is a bit of fate, chance and choice.

Water racing down the stream,
gathering momentum with its flow,
heading towards the river
that's the way the current goes.

I thought I'd sail a kiss or two
would it reach you in time?
as a reminder of the love
that is shared by you and I.

Taking back up precautions
I took it to the song bird,
if you are migrating north
take my love with you.

Sing in the morning,
like a whisper of spring
and whistle a  love tune
to ignite his memory.

I spun around in circles
as if you were in my arms,
knowing very well that
you are always in my heart.

~
               My hand to the heavens,
               my heart there with you,
               on the clouds in the sky
               up above the blue.

               Happiness within me,
               surfaced from inside,
               like the sun in the morning
               rises to find its place in time.

Next To Me

The wind through the trees
caused the leaves to sway,
like a dance on the mountain
of angels out to play.

The sun had quickly set
as if to say goodbye ,
knowing very well the
moon will light the sky.

Chance be the meeting
hearts and souls as one,
carved with the tool of faith
our love could not be undone.

Beautiful and everlasting
I felt it from deep inside
the magic of two beings
the bond of you and I.

Stars are brightly shining and
at this moment you will see,
one sky blankets over us
to unite both you and I.

My eyes a bit heavy
as I roll on over to sleep,
I reached into the thin air
and pulled you next to me.

Summer

Place a blanket in the grass
sit beside me , Oh! not so fast,
share a kiss or maybe two
as I whisper " I love you."

Summer days are here at last,
no complaints it's going fast.
I locked in a memory or two
on days when I am missing
you.

Place a blanket in the grass

sit beside me , Oh! not so fast,

share a kiss or maybe two 

as I whisper " I love you."

Grateful for each and everyday 

that we get to celebrate, 

the joining of two souls that

are never ever far apart.  

Place a blanket in the grass

sit beside me , Oh! not so fast,

share a kiss or maybe two 

as I whisper " I love you."

In your arms forevermore

that is what life has in store, 

from the sunrise in the morning

till the stars rule the night. 

Place a blanket in the grass

sit beside me , Oh! not so fast,

share a kiss or maybe two 

as I whisper " I love you."

...as I whisper " I love you!"        

Flowers in the garden,
 it seems a bloom a day
 as time passes on and
 soon the day will fade.

No common forces
to bond this love of ours,
as we take to the heavens
higher heights afire.

Passion like the color
vivid in everyway,
a reminder of choice
that leads us on our way.

Battling the moment
I dreamt your lips to mine
as I have done a thousand times
so often in my mind.

Visions from the heart
emblazed in the soul,
reveal the tender touch
like a story unspooled.

I held on to the moment
I feared it would pass away
and I chose to embrace
the love that found its way.

United in the heavens
cast down by an angels kiss,
brought two beings together
and dusted them in bliss.

                                                                   

This is the time of year is when a cool mountain stream actually feels wonderful.Serene the hollow was in concert as the symphony of sounds filled the air. The spring water trickled over the rock and at times rushing to a calm as it flowed into the stream. The sounds of various song birds filled the air and as I turned I saw my Carolina Wren teaching her young to hunt for insects. Every season comes with its own kind of magic and yet summer has an enchantment all of its own. The hills and trees in various shades of vibrate green , the sky a soft blue and not a cloud in sight.  You can tell that even the birds are content, their song beautiful accompanying the bull frogs bellow to the simple sound of nature in motion.I sat for a moment and took in my surroundings. The varied flowers in bloom created a bouquet like arrangement, subtle yet bold. I spun around in the water as I let it splash up against me . Refreshed asI felt my body temperature lower.  At that moment I wasn't one gazing at the canvas of life but one within it. The old oak tree had fallen with the previous winter and crossed the creek like a bridge. I sat down upon it my feet in the water and watched as Molly ran through the stream. Click, click I captured the moment. Chapters of life that once hardened the heart seem to fade and I no longer saw the pains of years gone by. Here I am in the moment! It was a kind of a rejoicing of life. This moment that could not be duplicated was almost paradise. My mind quickly drifted to you, wanting to share in the simple pleasures of a summer day. The warm rays breaking through the trees , cool water and you ever so close, right here in my heart. I smiled and my body quivered. At that very moment nothing else mattered. There was no distance nor time to separate us as embraced  the warmth of love. Ouch that is until insects decided I looked like steak dinner and a snake slithered across the stream. Like a balloon that popped the magic of the moment disappeared as I ran down the stream splashing my way to the grass. I laughed as I wondered if the birds looked down from their perch an said " ah look a human bathing in the stream."

Flowers in bloom 

and skies of blue,

hold my hand and

stroll this life thru.

Pageantry of color

the world on a stage,

capturing the moment

where dreams are made.

No rain is falling 

the sunshine is calling 

as I begin dreams, 

sweet dreams of you.

 The hills in all their glory
dressed in shades of green
as the berries almost ripe
will taste a little sweet.

I shared in this moment
as simple as it may be,
to have you glance at life
throughout a day with me.

Whispers " I love you" Closing my eyes, 

snuggling pillow and begins to dream.

With You

Stroll through the garden, 

heart to heart with you, 

as I'm caught up in a dream 

under summer skies of blue.

Two hearts together and

two souls bonded into one, 

as I gaze unto the heavens

embracing your sweet love.

Stroll through the garden,

heart to heart with you, 

as I'm caught up in a dream 

under summer skies of blue.

Feeling without touching

running while standing still, 

singing from the heart while

silence rules the hills.

Stroll through the garden,

heart to heart with you, 

as I'm caught up in a dream 

under summer skies of blue.

Dreaming It Away

Don't wake me up,
no pinching, no way.
I'm spending my day
by dreaming it away.

I am lost in the moment
won't have it any other way,
with you deep in my heart
that is how I'll stay.

The sun is now setting
no breeze to be found,
it's a hot summer day
with happiness abound.

I hope you are thinking
like I'm thinking of you,
with warm loving thoughts
under skies blue.

I feel you near me
wonderful as can be,
rolling on over to
continue the dream.

Don't wake me up, 

no pinching, no way.

I'm spending my day

by dreaming it away.
