My Soul on canvas, "Pictorial Prose"

Prose

2012-02-11T23:17:00.002-05:00

The moon light glistens on the newly fallen snow and there in the night the child fails to let go. Sliding down the hill as fast as I could go, while my mine drifts to the love that in my heart grows. Silhouettes of lovers can been seen, high above the clouds through my every dream. Passionate the embrace that entwines the heart and soul all the while creating a bond that only time holds.
I wondered about the decisions in my life, where they took me and if they were right. But somethings are meant to be, like a map of life that directed you to me. I saw the stars in the heavens shining bright and the joy of love that gave to my heart sight. I wasn't expecting nor did I hope to find the magic of the moment that touched your heart to mine.The season blankets the hills with a dust of white, fallen snowflakes that give to the hollow a breath of life.
The heavens were smiling down on us, sending the angels to direct without any fuss. They sent us on a path that neither could avoid and taught our hearts to sing and celebrate with joy. The days would be awfully lonely and the nights unbearable, had it not been for love and the magic it holds. It takes an ordinary day and brightens with sunshine while chasing all the gray.
The mountains replaced by grains of sand and the rivers bridged by loves demands. We conquered distance, we challenged the day and we made the world more beautiful in the most amazing way.
When the night sky is replaced with the morning sun that is when I open up my eyes and see a new day has now begun. When faith has me reaching out to you and the dreams of happiness redo the skies of blue. When all is said and done our love will still be here and through the words I write eternity is what we share.

Ok...it's alright to open your eyes now.

The greatest gift one can give another is love.

Love never has to be forgiving,

it never holds a grudge in the first place.

Contentment does not mean idle,

you can still grow and be content.

The greatest pleasure is not only falling asleep

in the arms of love but waking

up in the arms

of love.

One tear has fallen...ok maybe two.

One look at the heavens on a clear and cool night and you instantly become aware of how small we are and how much impact our actions have on the world around us.

The Hearts Reminder...

2012-02-08T19:09:00.000-05:00

When night falls and the stars shine,
and I am all alone. I close my eyes
and think of you and travel to you
with my mind.

No traces of sorrow, no sadness or
despair, our hearts reflect true
happiness as if you were really here.

When skies appear to be gray and
thoughts are like a storm on a dark
day, that is when I look inside and
see that you my love never left my
side.

No barriers or walls to overcome,
for the road to peace is paved
with golden bricks of love.

When I know not what to do,
or the time that we are spared
I dream the dreams in heavens
blue.

No weights to hold us down,
we'll dance and dance the
whole night through on our
cloud.

When I close my eyes to dream
sweet thoughts of you, I say a
prayer of gratitude for all that
love can do.

~
Every thought,
and action,
are my feelings
for you.

Every dream,
each prayer
a reminder
of my love
of you

~
I was afraid of the journey,
and fear led the way, until
that one magical day.

I took your love and I placed
it inside and there in my heart
is where it resides

~
I looked for the child
and found despair, I
looked for the angel
and found you there.
~

An open heart, is a wise heart,

open to live, to love,

to learn and

to dream.

I once lived to make everyone happy,

I wanna die trying to make myself happy.

The only chains that hold us down are created

of our own weakness to control our own mind.

The universe is our greatest gift,

wrapped in love and showered

down upon us daily.

What we fail to see is clouded

by anger, frustration, fear and

hate. Replace the emotions

with love, joy, faith and hope

and we will have unlocked

the secrets of happiness.

Even the most difficult moments reveal

our strengths and weakness... lesson upon lessons.

We already have the combination to happiness,

choice scrambled it and it is up to us to rearrange it.

I do believe that to know your partners next

thought is more than a gift,it is a mirrored

reflection of the soul.

Sings>Don't go playing misty blue,
no storms or grays skies are
allowed through. All I want is
your love and all I need is you.

Don't go playing misty blue,
no tears or sadness on this
cloud for two. All I want is
your love and all I need is you.

For what it is...

2012-02-07T11:15:00.000-05:00

The flames burning cannot be controlled,
ruling my heart your love took a hold.
The world is cold and I shiver at the thought,
of a life without you in it and the lonely walk.

The Sky is Our Dance Floor

2012-02-06T22:56:00.001-05:00

When the day is over,
when the stars rule the sky,
when the dreams all take over
and you are in my arms and
not my mind.

That is the moment when
all good things come true,
where I am happy just
loving you.

When the day is over,
when the stars rule the sky,
when the dream all take over
and you are in my arms and
not my mind.

I was taken by the night sky, the planets seem so near, as if jumping from Venus to Jupiter and as we watch the bright light flares. Brighter than any star that I have yet to see, the planets reveal that life is not your basic dream. Brilliant Venus she lights the sky, the planet of love cast over you and I a sign. I stood in amazement as I stared upward towards the heavens high, knowing that this very celestial image blankets both you and I. The full moon helps to lead the way, with beams of share magic to brighten this February ballet. Dance my love dance, stand close to me and open your heart as you dare to believe. I am holding you my darling, so rest those weary eyes and remember this my sweetheart your loved more with each twinkling star in the sky.

The sky is our dance floor

and you are my love,

follow the dreams to

the heavens above.

I'll be there waiting

just for you, as I

send my kisses

down from the

blue.

Listen to the heart, follow the soul and most of all

believe in our love...

I wanted to hold you,

so I opened my arms .

I wanted to love you,

I closed the gap from

a far.

I wanted to feel and

so I reached out for you.

I wanted to whisper and

I whisper I do " I love you"

This is our moon,

it is shining so bright,

full it is seen in the

dark of the night.

This is our dreams,

so amazingly sweet,

placed you in my heart

for eternity.

I laughed and I giggled

and held inside, the

love and the passion

that thou shall not deny.

Repetition

I saw her from afar as she looked back at me
while peering through the window, I thought
I saw a dream. I felt the racing of my heart,
and the restlessness of my soul as I reached
to touch her and she disappeared before I
could get a hold.

I tried to get there faster, to set her free, but
as I opened the window she once more
disappeared like an unforgotten dream. The
years have passed and I tried to let her go,
I hadn't thought about her as often, but again
I think she knows.

Waiting at the station, frozen in time, she
keeps on running circles in my mind.
There is a bit of irony where the house once
stood as I visualize and open door and the
little girl who was misunderstood.

I had suffered from a major headache most of the day, so I spent the better part of the day watching the old sitcom " I love Lucy." Her raw talent to this day brings on the laughter and puts a smile to my face. There was never really a time of simplicity, but as I look back I can see how life many years ago carved the way into the present. I like to think of it as the domino affect, as everything we do leans one situation upon the other and like x-rays becomes an accumulative part of our character.
Looking back at childhood I can see that it was a serious time filled with structure. Each day provided a particular time to fulfill obligations from the moment we started the day, till night rolled in and took its place with the blanket of stars. Time to clean, eat, pray and play, cry,laugh and sing and dance. As I grew up the first thing I wanted to do was break the rules. Sleep in, skip a meal, pray when I felt like it, cry when necessary, laugh often, sing daily and dance only if upon the clouds.
I am tired and wanting to sleep well and have good thoughts, I drift off into a more positive mode. Closing my eyes I think of the warmth of your love, the beat of your heart and the joy of your smile.

No tears to fall tonight,
a smile bridges you and I.
I am holding your love
and you're holding mine,
and that's why this is so
special in the dark of night.

Like the stars in the
heavens shining bright,
your love my darling
is the star of my life.
Sparkling leads the way,
to the clouds in the heavens
where dreams are made.

Close your eyes and fill
me near, I love you darling,
and this life we share. I
love you darling and I want
you to know that I'll be
with you wherever you go.
~

I see the many faces,
swirling around, no
names nor places,
but I the moment is
profound.

The images that
seared to my heart,
erase all shades of
darkness as they
set off a spark.
~
I am feeling needy,
needing you so,
needing your love
by the grove.

I am feeling needy,
to feel your embrace,
lips to lips a smile
on the face.

I am feeling needy,
for a simple hug,
a touch of your hand
and a bit of your love.

I am feeling needy,
if these pillows could
talk, they'd whisper of
loneliness on this life
long walk.

Newly Fallen Snow

2012-02-04T17:16:00.001-05:00

I am tired...so I close my eyes

and whisper I love you.

To never wake in the arms of love,

or fall asleep with that special one.

That is loneliness and full despair,

imagining the emptiness without

you here.

Why is it that choices are never easy?

I think it has to do with the outcome.

I wanna believe that everything is possible...

I saw the dock,

boats in a row,

snow covered,

rocking slow.

The river calling,

the wind strong,

as waves race to

meet the shore.

Season passing,

days gone by,

hello my love

and goodbye.

Darkness teasing,

the black of night,

creates a mass,

that I cannot fight.

I don't how I got to this point,

but I do know there is no going back.

Screams in silence,

for that which will never be.

Shards of glass,
splinter the mind,
reminders of yesterday,
and happier times.

The fragments so small,
pierce the heart and soul,
leaving upon the spirit,
a chill that takes it toll.

The winter has been gracious so far. There have been no bouts with major storms in the area. The wind has not roared and we have had no accumulation really worth reporting. Matter of fact the weather temperatures have been unusually warm that I couldn't help but look forward to spring. The snow that is falling reminds me most of a March snow, here today gone tomorrow. The days lighter cast their rays upon the newly fallen snow and the sparkle creates a shimmer affect that catches the eye.

I couldn't help but think of times of comfort and happiness and wanting them to last forever. It is inevitable that with each new day a new experience will arise, unless of course we choose to hide from life. The snow untouched has a pristine glow and upon a closer observation it looks like antique lace woven into natures most magical tapestry. I felt child like wanting to make that first footprint in the snow and at the same time wanting to hide under a warm blanket. My mind drifts to happier thoughts and I find myself embraced by a calm.

My sister called late last night, it was close to midnight. It is very unusual for her to call so late at night. I quickly asked if anything was wrong but I could instantly tell by her voice that she was agitated. She asked me "why have we made or continue to make the same choices?" There was no one answer, at times upbringing played a part, she called it " brain washing." But no matter how you look at it our response to life does come from our early experiences. Though I do think there are many reasons we make the choices we do. Sometimes its being selfish or unselfish, confident or insecure, filled with hope or in despair. She rambled a little, I listened and at the same time I knew she was trying to find her own answers. She fell into the trap of the " I shoulda, coulda, woulda." After all was said and done and almost two hours later she said, "if we only knew then what we know now." I pondered a little while longer on that statement, " if only we knew then what we know now." I felt a sadness come over me, the person whom I had looked up to all my life, revealed her own weakness, her sorrow, her mistakes and a journey as she saw it without hope." I thought to myself it's not over, we are just in another chapter, new roads, opportunities and cliche" places to go and people meet. " I tried to emphasize that you can't go back and that to live life to its fullest you just keeping going forward. It just reminds me of one of my favorite writings from Shakespeare. Everyone of us as a part to play and as time goes on and other vulnerabilities surface we realize that our time of exit is really out of our control.

Shakespeare's As You Like It, 1600:

JAQUES:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

While I Am Here

While I watch the snowflakes fall,
I'll be grateful as we can lose it all,
time of weakness and that of strength,
a reminder that we sit in the hands of fate.

While I am here and the time so short,
I'll count my blessing as my soul retorts,
not of anger or vengeance shall we go,
it is with love's embrace that guides us so.

I'll write our names in the heavens blue ,
seared forever with my love for you.
Happiness traced and all will see just
how much you really mean to me.

While I am here on this earthly plateau,
I'll complete the journey before I go,
for I have loved and loved received,
and secured in my heart for all eternity.

Awakens The Soul

2012-02-01T22:18:00.000-05:00

Deep in the Hollow

The fern on the hills a reminder in green,
of the days when the hollow joyously sings.
The tree branches to early begin to bud,
as they are not aware of winters games of fun.

The hollow surrounded with dark and gray,

even though the light is longer with each day.

Birds at the feeder flutter with such glee,

as they know that it will soon be spring.

I wondered if this was a winter reprieve

or are we caught up in the seasons trickery?

My heart is happy and dances with joy,

as our love is special and cannot be destroyed.

~

The words were meaningless,

the papers old and when I

tossed them away,

they had no hold.

It is amazing how you can treasure a moment, a thought, an action, a word and a memory and as times goes on it can become meaningless. I took it for what it was, a yesterday day gone by, an over inflated memory, words without meaning and the response with many variables.
It is true that stagnant water becomes poison and only with the movement does it filter making it clean enough to drink. Life is the same way, with movement comes knowledge and with the knowledge comes growth and growth brings us today.
No longer needing a crutch, stands tall while dusting off the past. Today is the gift as it is true tomorrow may never come. With that in my mind, I dance on the clouds, sing in the stars and dream. It is the dreams that fuel the heart and feed the soul.

after years it can take on a new
I held on to old memories,
the drawers overflowed,
they were filled my dreams
that I refused to let go.

The glimpse was one sided,
my passion and desire,
the trials and triumph
gone like the blaze of a fire.

I don't really know nor can
I explain, but the drawers
now empty set out for
a new day to claim.

~

We are a seed in the wind...

Imagine for a moment that we can control time, unraveling the secrets deep within the mind. Review the past and editing as we go, to smooth the wrinkles to memory are sewn. Advancing through the day for a glimpse of tomorrow in the hope that there is only happiness and no traits of sorrow. Taking the moments that always make us smile and building bridges that cross the long and treacherous miles.

Imagine for a moment that we can control time, unraveling the secrets deep within the mind. Spinning through my memories, I wiped away the tears, cast away the darkness, erased all traces of fear. From the moment the eyes begin to open wide, may you see that through this life we walk side by side. Feel the sweetness of a warm and loving kiss as you wake each morning to the meeting of our lips.

Imagine for a moment that we can control time, unraveling the secrets deep within the mind. Span the distance from your heart to mine and know the gap was closed one memory at a time. Lock the gates of hell and keep it from our day and allow only sunshine to make its way.

Imagine for a moment that we can control time, unraveling the secrets deep within the mind. I'd choose the moment when I am in your arms, complete with your mystique and your wonderful charm. I'd slow every second , I'd freeze each and every frame, I'd hold still the moment when love first made its claim.
~
Can't go back, can't stand still,runs forward, runs fast,runs far,
runs into your arms.

~

History has away of being cruel or kind

depending on the writers interpretation.

~
Time can soften a blow to the heart!
~
We are not as important as we like to think we are...all of us are on borrowed time.
~
Shiver me timbers... where is that plank?

~

I feel numb as if all the
mistakes I ever made
are documented by the
soul and sent to the
heart to place blame.
~

In Rapunzel the children's fairy tale, a young girl is held captive in a tower in the woods. Though she could have easily climbed down the tower, ignorance, fear and the unknown kept her captive. That is until a stranger came into her life and gave her the support and knowledge to escape. Throughout life I find that we are emotionally imprisoned, filled with ignorance and teetering on the unknown, fearful of what is outside our very own tower. Exactly how we become trapped is unique to each individual. Sometimes it's years of being told what we can't do, that we struggle with what we can do. More importantly is the cast of characters that we surround ourselves with. Cliche as it may sound the old adage" we are the company we keep" may ring true. Our abilities are fueled by the energy source provided to us through various forms of positive energy. Unfortunately the prison which we build is quite the opposite, built brick by brick of inadequacy and a field of negativity.
~
The heart a vessel in which our love travels.

Reached for a hand

and found a heart.

Walking through life with my eyes closed.

If tears fall like rain,
I am in the eye of the storm.

I cried and I laughed and

then I thought of you and

I settled into a warm smile.

~
They say "sometimes you need a good cry"
it is like cleaning the canvas.

~

It is true that the trials of life come to us all,

but the differences are in the way we respond to them.

You can't walk through life with your eyes closed or can you?

There is no triumph greater than that is which we will be remembered for.

Once I cared what everyone thought,
now I don't care what anyone thinks.
~

Life is like emery...sometimes it is abrasive.

Maybe I have been asleep a little to long...because

at the click of a finger it can all be gone.

~
I went through all the letters enclosed with my heart and soul. Stories written of the dreams that have yet to this day unfold. Some may see words scratched across the page, paper that has yellowed and with time began to fade. I held each letter close and I failed to toss away, the papers in the box, of those long and lonely days.

The Greatest Fear is to never feel your love...

2012-01-31T23:07:00.003-05:00

Unseasonable temperatures play a bad game,sending sunshine to warm this winter day.What teases the spirit, makes a fool out of the trees as they are budding in a spring time green.

The ducks are mating and the rabbits graze as I saw as a flock of robin fly this way. Feels like spring, but you know it's not so, as I don't smell the fragrance of an early rose.

Taking a glimpse of the clear blue sky, I didn't see a single cloud floating by. Winter holds the reign, taking control of nature and sends
a warm rain.

What seems like a pleasant warm spring day, leaves the hills in a vulnerable way. Without the snow to blanket the fields, the fruit of tomorrow will be bare without a shield.

~
Strong like a mule or weak like a kitten.

Is it human nature to be both strong and weak? Fear, oh! I know it well, wanting to embrace the day and hide from it. I thought is fear a form of protection like a shield or a warning of perceived risk and danger?
Whether the emotions that are triggered by fear are a learned behavior or instinctive, the need for the feelings of security are common to the human heart and soul. Who doesn't want to feel the warmth and comfort that comes with laying in the arms of love? It is our quest, a basic need to live without fear. With love we can over come and rise above the negativity to meet the challenges of the day.
I call it the great escape whenever you are capable of distracting the mind from that which eagerly tries to overtake the moment. Maybe it is true, we all seek love and to some extent we all fear going through life without it.

Ease my troubled mind
and wash the pain away,
this is not a time of suffering,
only joy of hearts should remain.

Like the sun upon the mountain,
and the river as it flows, I send
to you my love for you to hold it
and watch it grow.

Once love is discovered,
there is no letting go,for
it is a true forever like
the wind that blows.

"The Wizard Of Oz": Dorothy - "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (1939)

2012-01-28T14:22:00.000-05:00

I imagine many children have at one time or another wondered where they belong or with whom. That special place, with that special person, where you can be exactly who you are without judgement. Like the movie which hinders on reality and fantasy, it teaches us it is okay to dream. Even as an adult I relate to the movie, we can't find knowledge without friends to journey with us and the existence of fear exist and it all can be overcome if we simply believe. I watched the movie many times "the wizard of Oz" and I saw it on stage and of course read the books as a kid and still there a feeling of melancholy that comes with viewing the movie. I feel no different at times than the ten year old who use to lay across the bed and look out the bedroom window and dream. Wondering exactly where this journey begins and ends and who will hold my hand. It was the Beatles that said it best " Some say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one" Dreams are like fuel to the imagination and the imagination teaches us to have faith in tomorrow.
If our heart is home and happiness is found right where you fail to look, clicks feet together and chants " no place like home," because when I close my eyes, I know I will meet you there, as you are there deep in my heart.

Love is Reciprocal

2012-01-28T14:04:00.000-05:00

Like the sun upon the water,

your love upon my heart.

~
Is it fate that redirects or our
failure to follow directions?
~
Spending a moment drowning in loneliness
is equivalent to a life time of emptiness.
~

You don't have to be taught what is acceptable,

I think it is obvious that love with out greed and

selfishness has all the elements necessary for happiness.

It has been said " you can live on love" I think that is so,

love indeed feeds the soul and allows the heart to

relinquish any pain that remain from our trials.

No truer words were ever sung...

2012-01-26T06:23:00.003-05:00

Busy is good! The day has passed so quickly. I have been up since two am and I don't feel tired yet. Managed to work on customer orders and preparing for a meeting in a few hours. There is irony to how things look different in a positive surrounding. It is not that what we are confronted with changes, so it must mean our way of dealing with life changes. How ever you look at it, we are not much different than children. When were young we rewarded with stars and ribbons and as we get older in sports we are rewarded with trophy's and certificates. But as time goes on we still need the balance, the acknowledgement and the rewards. For some that reward might be financial, to others a sense of peace, but for me it is the touch of souls, the embrace that crosses varied dimensions to share in the simplest element of love.

Took your hand and held it tight,
kissed your lips in the night.
Sent my love to you and woke
to find you sent it to.

Songs the memories stir, a
few even caused a blur,
but the ones that reminded
me of you, touched my heart
under the sky blue.

Music to calm the soul,
to remind me of love,
it makes me awfully
grateful, for you my
special love.

Those Little Things

2012-01-25T23:56:00.000-05:00

The night was very quiet and silence ruled it well, that was until the moment your love broke the spell. Music played softly and directly to my heart with the words of love uniting us from afar. Peaceful the very moment and joyous as can be, when I reached out for your hand and felt you reaching back to me. Cradled between the clouds,sleeping in your arms as the night quickly passes and you give to me your heart.

The night was very quiet and silence ruled it well, that was until the moment your love broke the spell. Whispers that only love can send and the magic of life that made you my friend. Something special happened and to all I'll tell, from the heavens an angel to earth fell. He brought to me his love, he introduced faith, instilling the dreams that were secured by fate.

Watching you sleep peacefully at night,

embracing the dreams that brings our

love to life.

Kissing you each morning and feeling

in return your lips gently meeting up

with mine.

Sitting by the shore through sunrise

and sunset and counting our blessings

from the day we met.

Those little things that people ignore

are very important as a reminder of

all that is in store.

Roses opening before our eyes

and raindrops falling as the day

passes us by.

Blue skies in the morning,

stars in the night, the canvas

of life, always does it right.

Oh! when I close my eyes and I think of you,I can tell you this, my heart knows it true. Oh! When I close my eyes and I think of you, I feel your love. You are the sun that shine, the moon on starry nights,the wind that blows, the love that inside me grows. Oh! when I close my eyes and I think of you, I get a chill and a sort of thrill. Oh! when I close my eyes and I think of you, I feel your love.

Your smiles,your arms,your heart and your love

these are the little things sent down from God above.

I once said you can get use to loneliness...I lied.

Many people can hold your hand,

but only one can hold your heart.

Some people burn an image

that never leaves the mind,

but you my love seared the

heart at the moment our

souls entwined.

Your love is like a passage of very few words

but leaves an everlasting impact.

There are characters that I have yet

to comprehend their moment of entry and exit.

Some souls are a mere fleeting moment in time,

like a star that burns bright and quickly dies.

But the soul which endures all to embrace life,

is more than amazing...

~
Sometimes I find myself reviewing the past,
and I soon realize that it is better
to embrace the future.

Holds your hand,
kisses your lips
and embraces
the dream.

Dance

2012-01-22T14:03:00.005-05:00

I find winter to be at times difficult. Less days of sunshine, icy roads that make getting around difficult and cabin fever.By the way it only takes one day for cabin fever to set in. I looked back to the time of childhood and the love of the season.Spending hours outdoors and waiting for that first snow fall. There was such an excitement, waiting to build a snowman, sledding down the hill , snowball fights and of course it wouldn't be complete without laying under the stars in the newly fallen snow and creating the form of an angel. I can almost smell the freshness of the season. That is until a few days later when the beautiful snow turns to slush. It all in some sense seemed to not be part of the plan, as if with knowledge comes vulnerability. In those days you just did for the sake of doing. Well that is way before we realized the vulnerability awareness that comes with knowledge. One thing is for sure, winter gives you way to much time to think, dream and daydream. .I wondered if the late onset of winter meant that it would carry on beastly like into March and April. I know that I cannot relive yesterday and my today's will never remain the same and though tomorrow approaches it comes with a restless view of a changing time.
For as much dreaming as I do, I see myself as more of a realist. I see the bumps in the road, the path that fate lay and the choices that alter the seemingly crooked and rocky roads. Our inflated dreams of what difference we can make in the world is overshadowed by the reality of our tiny stature in the realm of things. The options are so minimal, our curiosity and survival are in the forefront of our very presence.
One aspect of my life surfaced and it was that neither having poorly touched or not at all were not part of the quintessential dream and yet a necessity. I felt small in my need to survive and tackle all that I have yet to do and at the same time my emotional upheaval encourages a need to retreat.

I touched on a moment,
it made me smile,
gave me a reason,
shortened the miles.

Held it close,
blew it away,
the haunting memories,
the dreams that fade.

~
I want to and I don't...
~
I am trapped,
can't move,
can't run,
can't feel.

The Brilliance of the Winter Sky

The evening seems to welcome my nightly dreams,
with a chill to the soul and a bitter awakening.
The stars shine brightly above with flames
that ignite like my heart from your love.

There is something amazing and wonderful,
when I am one with the universe I feel your hold.
Venturing into the winters night sky, in a dance
that closes the distance of your heart and mine.

Tracing the constellations with the mind,
I read the words written for all of time.
The more I gazed, the clearer it all became,
that your soul and mine are one in the same.
~

Vivid is the silhouette upon the night sky,
the display of lovers is a spectacular sight.
Like stardust falls from the sky, I watched
the spirits come together as they gently entwine.

Paramount to the mind, this powerful image
is surely a sign. Dazzling they put on a show,
in remembrance of the love that in our
hearts continues to grow.

Drawn to the image, like a fish to the
sea. It brings us together in a celestial
dream. My heart is always open so
that I will always see, the love
that stirs sweet memories.

~
If you surround your self with death you get death,
with life you get life, with love you get love.
~
The snag is the actions of others...
~
My mind started dancing,
my arms held you tight,
melting warm wishes,
and whispers of delight.

The afternoon sun through
my window pane, snapped
me out of the dream and
a chill of reality remained.

My mind started dancing,
my arms held you tight,
footsteps across the heavens,
I danced with you all night.

Winter Wonderland

2012-01-21T21:31:00.000-05:00

The hills, the snow all formed with the ice,
to create a scene that to my heart delights.
Caught up in the moment, I drifted away,
waiting your loving kiss both night and day.

I once was lost and not to be found,
until I saw what the storm brought down.
It scattered crystals of white and touched
on the dreams that my heart could not fight.

I stood in amazement at what I could see, your
lips waiting mine and your arms holding me.
From the hills to the river, from river to sea,
I followed your love and relived the dream.

The hills, the snow all formed with the ice,
to create a scene that to my heart delights.
Caught up in the moment, I drifted away,
waiting your loving kiss both night and day.

The Winter Stroll

2012-01-21T14:15:00.000-05:00

Took a walk in the hollow,
it was all covered in ice,
the season of winter created
a sight.

Wicked the wind,
through the trees awoke,
the spirit within that only
memories stroke.

Cold and yet chipper,
I felt so alive as I took in
the weather with a brisk
walk and a quick stride.

Somethings can't be
explained but the hills
of the hollow my dreams
claim.

Distant and yet as close
as can be, the more I
traveled the closer you
seemed.

Yesterday's rain an icy
blanket makes, from the
top of the hills to the shore
of the lake.

My body distant my heart
there with you, as I ran
faster and faster to reach
out to you.
~
The hollow seemed a little bit gray,
but the closer you looked the more
of life that was displayed. There is
the green of the fern, the hemlock
on the hills and the hedges of holly,
that separate the fields.

First I was saddened for I thought
only eyes could see and the hollow
a bit gray darkened my dreams. Soon
I realized that with the heart it reveals
the beauty from inside.

For a moment there was loneliness
that wouldn't go away, until a smile
surfaced from the memories you
and I made.
~

Down in the hollow,
between the hills,
I gazed at the stream
and I again began to feel.

The wind bitter left
a kiss to my cheek,
and your love to my
soul made me believe.

Star dust

2012-01-19T17:14:00.001-05:00

The sounds of the gulls as the waves hit up against the rock,
begin a haunting of the soul, weep not heart.

We cannot rewrite yesterday...

The flowers only live a short time,
our love lives forever!
I was told that when you can't sleep at night,
it's because your mind doesn't stop talking.
~
We are just a breath away from eternity.
~
Sings>There is nothing in this world that can change my love for you, no matter where I go or what I do You'll always have my heart, my love is true to you. Like the flowers that wait to bloom, i'll always wait for you. There is nothing in this world that can change my love for you, no matter where I go or what I do. You are my daily dreams, the music that makes my heart sing, your the love of my life.

La da da de da, la da da de da.... sillys songs of love la da da de da da, la da da de da, means I love you.

There is nothing in this world that can change my love for you, no matter where I go or what I do. Like the star dust falling down from the sky, your magic brings a spark to my eyes. Wondrous is our embrace, even though we are not face to face. Love like ours is quite unique, it breaks the barriers with a simple breeze. Blowing your love here to me, I feel it like a wave at sea.

La da da de da, la da da de da.... sillys songs of love la da da de da da, la da da de da, means I love you.

Tiny Little Glimpses of the ...

2012-01-19T14:11:00.000-05:00

My obsession to write

is in my desire to record,

the magic of friendship,

the mystery of love,

the voice of the heart,

the truth of the soul,

on the journey of life,

where dreams unfold.

There is nothing to divide us,

we are never truly alone,

as I hold your heart and

I refuse to let it go.

I'll always love you and

I want to you know,

the stars of the heaven,

just for you glow.

Silhouette cast in the moonlight,

the image a reminder of the love

of my life.

My mind scattered with thoughts

of you as I picture life, with

dreams of loving you.

The ocean waves wake the soul,

carrying away my spirit to where

the day unfolds.

Walking over the hills,

through the thicket I go,

feeling the pinch of life,

I trembled so.

What is the meaning of

the darkness that looms?

For love had touched my

soul and refuses to let it go.

I felt your heart reach out

to mine,an arouse my very

being, like star dust falling

from the sky.

The touch of passion,

the brilliance of the sky,

the love that reached on

out and brought you to my side.

This sweet Enchantment,

a treasure of the heart,

where memories are stored

and unite us from a far.

Imagining your hands,

gentle through my hair,

and feeling your tenderness,

like a colliding star.

I have stumbled through live

more than once, savored

the happiness of being loved.

Incomplete without you,

the emptiness inside,

finds me hanging on with

the mind.

Intertwined like a vine growing wild, connected forever by the image of your smile. The laughter that the two of us share, is mirrored in my heart with each moment that we share. Nothing can't separate the love that we have, for I am with you, till the sun no longer shines.

I gave a promise,

I vowed to you,

to write the words

and paint the sky blue.

I gave a promise,

I vowed to you,

to write the words

and paint the sky blue.

When the energy passes

through the heart, it ignites

a fire brighter than any star.

Choreographed in the heavens,

directed from above, the angels

got together and sent to us love.

Bonded by Love

2012-01-18T21:44:00.003-05:00

The simplicity of love is in the time shared...waking up to your sweet smile,the dance on the clouds, the dream to come true. Closing your eyes and whispering true, the words of love from me to you. The simplicity of love is in the time shared... a sleep in your arms, the breath of your charm and a stroll through life with you. The simplicity of love is in the time shared...

Hold my hand,
take my heart,
live the dream,
from the start.

Living in love,
each day with you,
just like lovers
were meant to do.

Hold my hand,
take my heart,
live the dream,
from the start.

Living in love,
each day with you,
just like lovers,
were meant to do.

~
Like the wind through the trees
your love reached out to me
and taking a hold, spun its
web around my soul.

~
I dried out the flowers,
the crystal I dusted today,
the clock was slowing ticking,
and the memories began to fade.

No signs of rainbows nor clouds
high up in the sky, all I see is the
blue of the sky and the images
of you and I.

~
There are somethings that life just
can't explain, roads going nowhere
and love that simply fades away.

Real is the emotions explored by
the heart, the pleasure of love that
lights the darkest dark.

~
I really don't care what people have
to say, I was sent here to record the
love so that it will never fade.

~
Raindrops keep falling,
like tears from my eyes,
sorrow and heartache,
hidden deep inside.

Secrets secured with a kiss,
never, ever to leave my lips.
The magic that I feel inside
is here forever just you and I.

~
The striking beauty of cardinal at rest,
the sunlight through the trees and the
heart put to test.

Rainbows across the sky, like the
bridges of the heart, when your
heart met mine.
~
I ask a simple question,
no response do I receive,
where do I belong and
who belongs with me?
~
We walk this earth but once,
but experiences are many,
sometimes of happiness and
the heartaches are plenty.

We walk this earth but once,
and leave our foot prints on the
earth and our love eternal
a flame within heavens hearth.
~
Every beginning meets with an
end and every a beginning makes.
~
Teetering ....

~
Reliving every moment,
passing the time away,
sweet dreams of you
both night and day.

Somethings are forever,
and in the heart stay and
others a fleeting moment
cast just to fade away.

Trying to understand the
road without and end,
over hills and around the
curves smack a dead end.

Holding to a summer day
with flowers in the fields,
enough memories to block
the cold and bitter chill.

Sometimes I am as close
to you as I can be and other
times I feel like a ship lost
in a troubling storm at sea.

Reaching with my heart to
hold you next to me, to feel
your love just once more
if only in my daily dreams.

~

~
Nothing can break this link,
this connection to you, all
I need is to close my eyes
and there is the bond of two.

Dreams that make you mine
and a song that lovers sing, all
wrapped up in a dance, where
there is you and then me.

Smiles at the thought that life
is in disarray, because no
matter how difficult you are
in my heart to stay.

There is nothing you and I
can't do, we can travel
over barriers and make
the blue sky blue.

Love can rise above the day,
chartering paths where nothing
but darkness lay.

Sunshine in the morning,
starlight in the night,
true love from earth to
the heavens above.

Today we meet the challenge,
that distance dears to create,
we rise above the loneliness
to the magic of fate.

No longer traditional, I
was talking to the wind
whispering words of love
to you my dearest friend.

You feel so good in my
arms and I in yours,
that is the the joy of
life we began to explore.

Mountains, doors that block
the view and outages that
put gray in that sky of blue.

We have come together,
and forever will we be,
heart and souls that
met out of need.

Love Song

2012-01-17T22:35:00.001-05:00

I had a slow start to the day. I slept in a little to long, started moving a little to slow and when it is all said and done accomplished just wee to little. So as I look back at the day, I know that we are never alone.

I am with you each morning,
kissing you my sweet love,
I am with you each evening,
yes that is me giving you a hug.
I am with you each moment,
the starlight in the sky,
the river raging and the
mountains high.

I am with you each morning,
kissing you my sweet love.
I am with you each evening,
yes that is me giving you a hug.
I am with you each moment,
when you are ready to sleep
and with you my darling in
the start of each new dream.
~
My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

The words rather simple,
sugar coated in my dreams,
where I am holding you
and you are holding me.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

I am there where you are,
sunshine on a cloudy day.
I'll warm you at night and
hold you in a loving way.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

There is nothing that I won't do,
I talked the wind in sending to you,
all the love that I have to lay my
kiss each night upon you.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

Open your arms and let me in,
the clouds await me and you.
We're gonna dance the night,
I'll spend my life loving you.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

Listen close and you will hear,
the words my heart has written dear.
They say exactly what they mean,
and mean what they say.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.

Close your eyes and you will see,
I am where I was always meant to be.
I right there in your heart and I
have been there from the start.

My gift to you is a love song,
a declaration from the heart,
inscribed upon the heavens
and seen high above the stars.
~

I'm gonna write a love song,only for you and I.
The words to describe the joy and happiness
to last till the ends of time.

I'm gonna write a love song, only for you and I.
Choreographed in the heavens and sung by the
angels up above.

I'm gonna write a love song, only for you and I.
Like bridges across the river, this song a bridge
for you and I.

Hold me...hold me tight, kiss me ... kiss good night!

The Intended Destination

2012-01-16T00:59:00.002-05:00

Beauty begins when you view with the heart

and follow the dreams of the soul.
~

Words of yesterday,
written for you and I,
scribbled on a tablet,
aged with the time.

Strolled the mighty river,
climbed a mountain high
and walked with you my
love, heart soul and mind.

~

The snow blankets the hills and again I dream...

~
We don't forget,
we do heal.
~

Everything we need is right in front of us...
why is it at times so difficult to see it.
~

Our wants and needs are much simpler

than we want to admit.

~
I wondered why we had to experience heartache at all,
and then I realized that it to is part of the journey.
~

Let's Dance

The steps don't really matter,
just follow the beat of your heart,
close your eyes and pull me close,
bridge the heavens to the earth with stars.

Curious Desire

Delicate and so fragile a love,
that warms my heart adding
more of hope and faith on
the wings of a dove.

Soar my darling, let your soul
reach out to me, in the early
morning and at night when
you begin to dream.
~
The Journey

On this journey that I travel,
the sun shines and even at
night there is still a blue to
the sky.

My heart weathered and
troubled indeed, wonders
what life holds for you
and me.

The darkness like curtains drape,
separating wishes from the truth
of fate.

On one side there is how life should
be and far on the other side the one
in my dreams.

I sang with the stars shining in the night,
as if they could hear and make
everything right.

I need to know that you wanted me so
and that our love like a flower will
continue to grow.

The Unseen Bridges

There are days warmed with your love,
dreams that bridge earth to the clouds above.
Like the rain as it falls from the sky, the tears
of happiness rolled down from my eyes.

There are stories written by the heart, that
tell of a journey that love indeed sparked.
The gifts flow like petals caught in the wind,
that is why I don't the beginning from the end.

The Words Of Love

I can't change the story,
the characters I don't write,
the words from the heart,
bridge the love of you and I.

I don't always understand,
the road in which we stroll,
mapped from the heavens,
from me to you the goal.
~
When you recognize the difference
and yet acknowledge the similarity,
you have witnessed the meeting of
the mind and the bonding of souls.

~
I know what I feel...
~
There has never been a doubt in my mind
how life should be experienced, it is when
you meet that someone who chooses to
love completely without judgement.

~
Nothing is worse than telling
someone what they want to hear,
I would rather be disappointed
with the truth than lifted by a lie.
~

If one word from my lips falls upon your heart,

I will have succeeded in delivering my love to its intended destination.
~

Threw away the last few pages,

from the chapters of the past.

Foolish I imagined sweet forever

where love would always last.

Left with dreams of sunshine

and rainbows through the sky.

Felt my heart break and again

saw it soar to the highest high.

Threw away the last few pages,

from chapters of the past.

Foolish I imagined sweet forever,

where love would always last.

The January Freeze

2012-01-15T21:17:00.000-05:00

As I watched the second hand move with ease,
like skates upon the ice, I felt my heart race to
meet the moment in time where I first embraced
the magic of love.

~

Takes a deep breath and holds still the moment..

~

I wanna live and I wanna laugh,
wake in your arms on this
uncertain path.

I wanna dream and I wanna love,
morning and night with that
special someone.

I wanna share and I wanna feel,
each moment with you that
sends a chill.

I wanna believe and I wanna know,
that you'll hold me forever and
never let go.
~
Snow frosted windows,wind blown desire,
from the moment the season first transpired.
~
Smiles...blows kiss!

Always on my mind, forever in my heart..

2012-01-14T21:29:00.000-05:00

He uttered the words pretentious at first

a humble disclosure of his love immersed.

She responded with compassion in

a whisper so soft life a feather in the

air that slowly wafts.

Their hearts kept on beating, slowly at first

and then faster and faster from the heavens

to earth. The day had concluded and their

love was revealed, it had broken the

barriers and to the God's they now kneel.

She smiled and he laughed and they danced

with glee, as they looked to the heavens

creating new memories. Majestic their love

that lives on a like the sea , returning to the

shore in each of their dreams.

That which brings me the most amount of comfort,

embracing the heart and soothing the soul is the

warmth of your love.

Grace those clouds above,

let's dance the whole night long,

Listen to the song of love,

knowing where we belong.

Hold tight the dreams of our love,

the warmth of you and I, one to one.

Breath taking visions silhouette in the sky,

Magnifying the love of you and I.

Happiness is hearts embraced.

To comfort the heart

and assure the soul,

that love is eternal.

If not for the dreams,

the mountains would succeed in their earthly barriers.

The beauty of a rose is in the formation of each petal,

just like life each segment reveals an extraordinary

glimpse of a to quick passage of time.

~
Closure is good it allows you to write a new chapter.
~

When you balance it out,

leans towards happiness.

~
Trying to explain
and to myself forlorn,
as all the similarities,
differences are born.

Rare and unique,
a chapter now lay,
where pages of laughter,
sorrow comes into play.

~
I glanced out the window
and to my heart such glee,
as the snowflakes were falling,
I drifted off into yesterdays memories.

Roads that seem to circle,
paths through mountains high
and the thorns of life that wake
the heart and make it cry.
~

My Soul On Canvas

2012-01-13T20:34:00.000-05:00

You warm my heart and

bring sunshine to the day,

the gift of your love

is felt in many away.

You takes the chill

right out of the night,

penetrating my soul

with dreams of delight.

We are all a walking canvas for the soul. How we display the inner workings of the soul depends greatly on the pattern of our thought process. The heart filled with love infuses the soul and creates a more colorful display regardless of where we stand in the journey. Sow negativity, seeds evil, grows pain. Allowing oneself to be aware of the beauty that surrounds us is the flotation device that life itself throws us.

Watched the birds,
felt the snow,
kissed the moment
and let it go.

Held your hand,
tasted your lips,
felt your arms,
oh! heavens bliss.

Whispers in song,
steps with glee,
dances with you,
through memories.

Watched the birds,
felt the snow,
kissed the moment
and let it go.

Good Night Sweet...

2012-01-11T23:13:00.000-05:00

My mind drifts away,
where I can calmly say,
how much I love you so,
I just want you to know.

The day has come to and end,
and I sit here wondering if
you think of me, like I think
of you.

Another night and I sit here
all alone, don't know what
to do, don't know where
to go.

Dreams, dreams comfort me,
beyond the clouds where we
are happy and free.

The night breaks the barriers
of time, in a dance with you
and I, the tease of the soul
messing with my mind.

My mind drifts away,
where I can calmly say,
how much I love you so,
I just want you to know.
~

Cinnamon sticks, dried rose
petals, red lipstick and candles
glowing, all remind me of you.

Silence rules the night, but my
heart is giving it a fight, as it
beats louder thinking of you.

Cinnamon sticks, dried rose
petals, red lipstick and candles
glowing, all remind me of you.

~
Mild winter weather,
rain from the sky,
the season moving
before my eyes.

Spring is nearing,
I can feel as it nears,
with the longer days,
with you my dear.
~

My heart is dancing,
my soul sings the words,
in the dream where you
and I are arm in arm.

My heart is dancing,
my soul sings the words,
in the dream where you
and I are arm in arm.

~
The moon is full
and shines down
from the heavens
high, the glow of
happiness sent
for you and I.
~
There is a blanket of peace
and a bed of calm, just by
thinking of your arms.

There is a warmth from
my heart to my soul, just
by feeling your loving hold.

There is a beauty that only
lovers can see, makes the
sky bluer and the grass
mighty green.

There is comfort that
I find in the night,
when I think of your
embrace holding me
tight.

Brief Moment in Time

2012-01-11T00:11:00.004-05:00

For a brief moment in time, I danced on clouds,

escaped reality and lived the dream.

You can't go back and you can't stand still,

that only leaves one option...

I laughed and I cried,
laughing is definitely more fun.
~
I can say I have lived through many an experience
and embraced with passion the joy of love.

Suffocating is like being weighted

down in a pool of water,

you try to come up for

a breath of air but you find it

impossible to move or breathe.

~
I did my best...

When I need you

2012-01-10T12:38:00.004-05:00

Songs birds sing,
rivers flowing,
hearts that live
beyond the day.

Rainbows fall,
nothing matter,
nothing at all,
when you're not
here with me.

Darkness looms,
as if the sun knows
not what to do,
and all I have is
memories.

Weep heart weep,
the stories I keep,
dreams and wishes
of another day.
~
What does it mean,
to know such a love
and touch it just to
watch it fade away.
~
The child was lost in despair
racing to hide, draped in fear.
The child weeps and yet no
one can see, the fallen tears
a river made and a bridge
to unite the dreams.

~

Breaks the silence...

Who decides what is right and wrong? The depth of our conscience wanes depending what side we are standing on. For what is right for one being may not be right for another. The barriers to overcome are challenged both by our willingness to be honest to self and our responsibility of the actions we choose to take.

I cannot see freedom for I am blinded by my own judgement.
~

Truth and goodness and the rest becomes easy,

through truth we are granted knowledge and

with goodness granted love.

We answer to our own reflection...

To imprison a spirit

is to kill the soul.

It was in the understanding of the whimsical dreams of fantasy,
that the clouds disappeared and I tumbled to the earth.
~

The simplicity of love is that it needs no castle or precious jewels,
for its beauty can be untarnished in the hearts of men.
~
The difficulty that I experience lingers on in the chance that tomorrow will never come...
~

For every emotion that the heart exposes,
another barrier is broken down.
~

Disappointments come in many forms,
and are created by overachieving expectations.

In understanding the wanting of the heart,

I overlooked the needs of the soul.

It is what thine eyes have seen,

that create a difference in the awakening.

Remove the flesh,

reveal the soul.

The idiom " time is the great healer" does not take into

consideration how deep the wound.

I write the words that time embraces,
the story of love and forevermore.
Whether in my arms or in my heart,
the love we share is an undying
connection of you and I my dear.
~
The grass is a vibrant green, the skies of blue, bluer with every dream. Life has new meaning, when I think of you as it makes the world take on a different hue.
~
Soft music,
dancing flames,
winter chill,
lonely nights,
broken heart,
flowing tears
~

So close and so far,
separated by miles,
close as my heart.

~
Hold me,love me,
kiss me goodnight.
~
Simple dreams in a not so simple life.

True love has no ending, for it lives beyond our earthly form.

I am not afraid...

~

The pain is not in the piercing from a dagger,

it's the wound that is left behind.

It is remarkable our gift of insight,

that allows hope and faith a place in our hearts.

Overshadowed by choices, withers in despair.

Deafened ears or silent cries?

Frolicking in a field of dreams...

... to watch you smile.

All my loving - The Beatles (Lyrics)

2012-01-08T22:12:00.007-05:00

Melancholy spirit,
pirouettes from the sky
spinning around in circles,
plays games with the mind.

Flutters like a bird lost in
a storm, broken wings
and a heart and soul
ripped par and lays torn.

My expectations are as my soul feels and my heart sees...

I can no longer challenge realities knock upon the door...
enters, reveals, blankets with darkness.

Petals in the wind,
in days of yesterday,
where hearts came
together and the
darkness began to
fade.

Gazing at the hilltop
where I once bravely
stood, trembling
from the quivers
through my heart
and soul shook.

No more tears,
I'll weep not once
for you, as I stand
alone and ponder
about the blue.

The sun is hiding,
the skies are gray,
darkness blankets
my heart and the
chill within me stays.

Void of feelings,
no emotions left
inside, no happiness
nor sadness nothing
left to make me cry.

No further than the
years of long ago,
for I am still lost
and don't know
which way to go.

Who will guide me,
and walk by my side,
hold my hand and
kiss my lips and
in my heart reside?

Destiny has spoken,
the script reveals,
from the first moment,
my heart had yet to heal.

Souls come together
and frolic like butterflies
set free and quickly parted
like the dividing of the great
sea.

I feel no ache, no sorrow
left in me, the void was
filled with time and taken
away and all that is left
is a form that creates a
memory.

The fool believes
the heart whispers all it knows,
and the soul runs and hides
so the memories let go.

No more tears, no ache inside
of me, I am but a lost soul
blowing like wind through
the trees. The day is just
beginning and I look to
the sky and wonder
if the words exist,
the words you and I.

I don't know what is left to give...
~

The whisper of angels,
the song of romance,
one more day and
one more chance.
~

I Am yours

I am yours,
I am yours,
can't you hear
the words of love
the whispers of joy,
the magic of like,
the dreams that toy.

I am yours,
I am yours,
you know this to be true,
that the day our souls
and hearts met, we were
destined like the sea to
the shore.
~

Shouting so the heavens hear,
the needs of my heart when you
are not near.
~

Remove the web of injustice,

and set the soul free.

Sorrow is hope in chains...

Whispers of my love for you

Dance With Me

Go ahead and do it,

take my hand and

on the heavens let

our hearts command.

Go ahead and dream,

let your love free,

hold me close and

dare to believe.

One day with out love

is like an eternity with heartbreak.

Run, little rabbit run,

but no further do you get,

running round in circles,

Sings>I can only say,
what dreams I had today,
they placed me in your arms,
I felt your beating heart.

I wanted to run away, to
be with you in every way,
to know and feel your love,
to dance in clouds above.

I can only say,
what makes me feel this way,
when I think of you and
making dreams come true.

I closed my eyes and to my
surprise, I found you waiting
there with all your love to
share, when I closed my eyes.

I can only say,
what in my heart replays,
the memories of you and
a sky so very blue.

This is perfection and happiness. If I could have a dream come true, it would be to feel the contentment of true loves embrace. Here we sit two lonely old people...

I am lost without you...

I Your Queen

2012-01-08T13:54:00.000-05:00

Trapped in the abyss,

awaiting your love.

Remove the barriers, set back time,
I'd rewrite this story of yours and mine.
I'd make you the king and I your queen,
we'd live in shear happiness through all
our dreams.

No shades of gray only sunshine,
no broken hearts only love so fine,
I'd wake each morning to your kiss
and pleasure your sweet lips.

Remove the barriers, set back time,
I'd rewrite this story of yours and mine.
I'd make you the king and I your queen,
we'd live in shear happiness through all
our dreams.

For You My Love

Infinity hasn't a clue, it
has no idea how much
love I have for you.

When our hearts came
together our souls couldn't
deny, that our love was
awfully special, it had the
makings of the blue sky.

Infinity hasn't a clue, it
has no idea how much
love I have for you.

When the angels started
singing, they sang for me
and you and the world
looked awfully beautiful
in a brand new hue.

Infinity hasn't a clue, it
has no idea how much
love I have for you.

I need to feel the tenderness of your kiss,
the embrace of your love with lips to lips.
To expand beyond the dreams of the day,
with the passion and desire making its way.

I want your heart next to mine, to feel
the rhythm and know you are mine.
Documenting this occasion of ours, from
the moment you set my soul on fire.

!

I am waiting for you,
caught in my dreams,
I don't know what to do,
my heart is breaking, my
mind is all

Sings >I wanna love you
and know you're
loving me too.

La la la la loving you,
la la la la loving you.

I wanna love you
and know you're
loving me too.

I watched a music clip from the late sixties it was actually 1968 and it is amazing how a song can take you back in time. I could actually feel the aurora of the time as the song has the ability to trigger the emotions that placed me center deep in a memory. I remember feeling a bit like the old adage, a square peg in a round hole. I can visualize the moment and the people around me , the sounds and smells. I was ten years old and for me it was a year of beginnings and endings. Though I had a brother and sisters, I felt like an only child with the age difference. Other than my great tag along ability as the little sister. Their music became my music, their experiences my experiences. Music had the capability of bringing a sense of escape. It seems I was always looking for that place that only existed in my mind. There in the place no one enters, I held and hold a mind filled with secrets and memories.

Run Far , Run Fast into your arms...

2012-01-07T23:54:00.000-05:00

I imagine that we all have thought about the future. Que sa ra sa ra..."what ever will be will be" I use to feel like I was trapped in a spiders well but I think its more like nickelodeon's slime . The more I move the more it stretches and sticks all over ya or maybe it's like one foot leaping and the other stuck in concrete. You can't drag it, you can't get out of it , you can't shake it off, the concrete just keeps weighting you down.

Run far, run fast and into your arms,

the love that we share flows from

the heart. Hold me close , don't let

me go, I love you so.

Break these chains that hold my

spirit down, remove the barriers

and lift me into the clouds. Don't

walk away, don't leave me here,

I need the love we share.

Run far , run fast and into your arms,

the love that we share flows from

the heart. Hold me close, don't

let me go, I love you so.

or I would wish for....

2012-01-04T16:42:00.000-05:00

I was told once that you are never to old to dream or to wish upon a star. I always believed that everything happens for a reason and from everything comes a lesson. " When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are..." Well and I am quickly pulled back to earth, when I am reminded by another old adage" be careful what you wish for" There was a movie on, it was a spin on the child story of the three wishes. I would wish for peace and contentment, with a dash of love and happiness.

January 3rd

2012-01-03T18:44:00.000-05:00

I can't believe we are three days into January. In the heart of winter, we are dealing with a bout of temperatures in the teens, high winds and snow. There are very few days where the sun seems to penetrate the darkened clouds and yet we know this to shall pass.
Last night as my son and I were heading into town on the ice covered roads, he lost control of the vehicle. Immediately you become aware of your vulnerability to the climate as well time. As if in slow motion and not the car spun around and started sliding backwards down the hill. I stiffened up as if I could brace for the final slide into the snow covered embankment. To far to turn back we continued to the store an was quickly relieved at the sight of the salt trucks coming up the hill in the opposite lane. Everything is time and place, a few seconds sooner and we would have slid into the car in front of us, a little later and we might have collided with the salt truck. Today as the snow and wind brought more of the winter wonderland down around us, I chose to stay home hidden under the blankets. It is times like this that we become more aware of what we have and what we can lose. I imagine that it is my mind working overtime that has me scanning the past and wondering what tomorrow will bring.
The year despite draw backs was a very good year. I can sense the comfort that exist between me and the people I meet through work. I thought to myself it is not as important how much I sold as it was a level of trust that exist between the customer and I. Not that they were coming back each time to purchase but the relationships that is built between two people in away that spouts a true achievement. This is my reward as I bumped into a woman who is very excited about my products. Yes, I have a sense of pride, something that I make has reached a certain level of acceptance with people inside and out of my community.
On a personal level I feel an emptiness, one I cannot completely explain. But it leaves a chill as if I am somehow still trapped in a web spun by the many people in my life. Partly it is the hurdles that I have to challenge and the barriers that keep popping up in front of me.
There is so much to see and do that I can't help wonder if we are ever comfortable when our time on earth is ended. I thought back many years ago, when I was in the ICU. If a person could be ready I was ready. I remember not having any fight in me and yet time has once again proven that we go when its our time and no sooner.

The snow is falling
winter is indeed here,
the only sunshine is
when I dream you near.

Cold and windy ,
a blustery day,
a chill to my heart,
won't go away.

Count the many grains of sand along the shore
and the endless stars upon the heavens floor
and then you'll know how very much you mean
to me, for my eternal love of you is filled with
boundless dreams.

Listen to the song of the meadow lark in spring,
and the whispers of angels as they meet up to sing.
The music written by the soul is played on
heavens harp, from the moment you took my\
hand and my heart.

~

That which makes us different,

also makes us the same.

Sweet kisses good night!

The magic of love is how at a distance it warms my being.

...for the rest of my life.

2012-01-02T08:55:00.000-05:00

Memories are the gifts that no one can take away,

endless laughter and dreams to review another day.

When I need you, to hold you tight,
when I want you in my arms at night.
I close my eyes and I envision you here
and just like magic you reappear.

When I need to feel your lips ,
when I want that sweet kiss.
I close my eyes and i envision you here
and just like magic you reappear.

~
My arms are open ,
my heart awaits your smile,
my dreams were all but broken
until your love came around.

~
One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight.

To hold you in my arms,
to kiss you from a far,
and make all our
dreams come true.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight,

To live the moment,
like never before,
to embrace what
life has in store.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight.

To feel you by my side,
in the morning and the night,
to let you know I love you so,
and that I could never let you go.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words
to describe my plight.
~
Like the city streets mapped in my mind,
your love is in my heart for all time.
Right or left, around and around we go,
but they always lead to you my love,
its how our love grows.

Like the river that flows to the sea,
your love can be felt in every breeze.
It touches my heart, it soars with my soul,
the love we share has a life long hold.

The child in me runs and tries to hide,
jumping from cloud to cloud lost inside.
The tears are falling, not sure what it means,
even though they clear the way for a new dream.

Like the city streets mapped in my mind
your love is in my heart for all time.
It doesn't matter the path we take,
for I love you darling, asleep or awake.

2012-01-02T08:12:00.000-05:00

Memories are the gifts that no one can take away,

endless laughter and dreams to review another day.

Our purpose in life is to share in love,

to live in love, to be in love...

~
I can tell you darling, this much I know,
in your arms the passion and love grows.

Living in my dreams,wishing you here,
sharing the moment,whispering how much
I care.
~
May the sun remind you of the warmth from inside,
when two hearts and souls bonded for all of time.
Listen to the wind, a song of love it sings, the
words unimportant whats matters is what you believe.

Dream the dream of lovers, hold me so tight and
don't you let me go as I'll be with you day and night.
To kiss away any darkness or weary signs of gray
and give to you my everlasting love day after day.

May the sun remind you of the warmth from inside,
when two hearts and souls bonded for all of time.
Listen to the wind, a song of love it sings, the
words unimportant, what matters is what you believe.

~

It wasn't magic, no the angels didn't sing, song birds at my window were not a dream. The darkness comes early as winter is here and I wonder what the future has to share. Lonely was I, wishing you were here, gazing out the window , I fell into a stare. My heart a million miles away as I was caught up in a dream and the images of love that wouldn't fade. I began drifting like ship at sea, consumed by your love and memory.

Blink in Time

2012-01-01T19:16:00.000-05:00

Time keeps moving on,each moment here and then gone,
like a brush against the wind,blowing dreams from within.

Memories are made and retained in the heart for another
day. To comfort when I am blue, I just think of you.

~
I can tell you darling, this much I know,
in your arms the passion and love grows.

Living in my dreams,wishing you here,
sharing the moment,whispering how much
I care.

May the sun remind you of the warmth from inside,

Three hours and two minutes

2011-12-31T20:58:00.006-05:00

I make no new years resolution for vulnerable are we
as time holds all the answers and
you hold the key.

Three hours and two minutes
and another year is gone and
I'm still dreaming of where I
belong, your arms to hold me
gentle yet tight and a lifetime
of memories to record day
and night.

I'm starting the new year,
like I ended the old, imagining
a kiss and your embrace strong.
I spent my day thinking of you
and dancing in the heavens blue.

I sat here waiting, wanting you so,
wishing and wondering which way
to go.. The day is almost over and
all I can say, is I promise my love
for a lifetime times a day.

Three hours and two minutes
and another year is gone and
I'm still dreaming of where I
belong, your arms to hold me
gentle yet tight and a lifetime
of memories to record day
and night.

No Rainbows

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

I am wondering what you are
doing and if you're thinking of me,
Staring at the heavens and
trapped in my own daydreams.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

My heart is lonely, my soul
feels despair, waiting on a kiss
and not the wind through my
hair.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

The day passed so quickly and
the night lingers on as I lay my
head upon the pillow singing
silly love songs.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

Love is something that
can't be taken away, for it
was given to me and in my
heart is where it will stay.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

The silence now broken,
a warmth we both share,
is from the song of the heart,
that brings you near.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

I tried to shout it, I sang
as loud as I could sing,
and suddenly it occurred
that louder is not a need.

I don't see a rainbow,
there is no blue in sight,
I'm just gazing at the stars
shining bright.

I whispered to the winter birds
when you begin to take flight,
take my love and make him feel
it both day and night.

~
Here is a path, a journey to take,
hold my hand and a life we'll make.

In the garden, by the valley,
down by the stream, hold my hand
and walk with me.

Here is a path, a journey to take,
hold my hand and a life we'll make.

Dreams that bring you closer to
me, every corner of the earth and
in the clouds where we meet.

Here is a path, a journey to take,\
hold my hand and a life we'll make.

2012

2011-12-31T15:23:00.000-05:00

I found a little book that I made in third or fourth grade. It was yellow with age, the outside done up in a array of flowers. Inside the book was notes written by teachers and classmates. Honestly I drew a blank when reading most of the names. How could I have forgotten teachers and other children? My mind was blank as if that moment in time did not exist. The mind is quite clever it erases passages of time that we choose not to deal with. The irony is that I don't really remember the people or the time period or why its completely erased from my mind. When working over the years I have met so many people, some of the faces began to fade like a collage and to this day others stand out like bright beams of light. Sometimes it's an action, a reaction, conversation or a moment in time, but whatever it is, it leaves impact on our being. I had a phone call from a customer, " Do you remember me?" I realized that those who did stand out pulled at the strings of my heart in one way or another. The year comes with many memories and I find that I have a tendency to hold on to the positive and like a seed in wind blow the negative away.

Embracing the moment,
I thank the Lord above,
for he directed my soul,
to you my special love.

He waited till the moment
when he was sure, that
I would recognize such
love in you whom I adore.

Embracing the moment,
I thank the Lord above,
for he directed my soul,
to you my special love.

Wiped my tears,
renewed my faith,
and gave to me the
memories in which I
wouldn't trade.

Embracing the moment,
I thank the Lord above,
for he directed my soul,
to you my special love.

I am not up for a party,
I am not there to dance,
sitting here daydreaming,
of sunshine and sand.

There is no laughter,
nor stars in the sky,
the world is dark when
you're not here by my side.

I am not up for a party,
I am not there to dance,
sitting here daydreaming
of sunshine and sand.

~
Sing Heart Sing

~
Swimming in a pool of memories,
or it might be more like drowning,
and over my head in dreams.

Open or closed you are all that I
can see, the joy of my life that
brought true love to me.

2011-12-30T23:53:00.002-05:00

Like an unpainted canvas,

my heart awaits your love.

Silk and Lace

2011-12-30T13:42:00.000-05:00

Cleaning out the closet,
my fingers traced a negligee
of silk and lace.Stitched
with a delicate bow to my
cheek the bodice I placed.

I never chose to wear it, I
kept it for so long and yet it
still looked pristine in a mystical
kind of way, touching on a
dream that never ever fades.

It stroke the mind awakening
memories of old , when youth
was so hopeful and time had
yet to take its tolls. .

I held back the tears of the life
that would never be, for I believe
this script was written by someone
other than me.

I would have paved the path
with sunshine and glee and a
bed full of petals, a love song
a day and a blue sky to chase
away any shade of gray.

I stopped all that I was doing,
as if time really could stand still,
and I listened to my heart and
no words could it speak so
again to my chest I placed my
hand and felt the story through
each and every beat.

Welcome 2012

2011-12-30T11:10:00.000-05:00

The new year is quickly approaching and my mind floods with so many thoughts and memories. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will be nothing like today. I danced on the clouds in the heavens high, smiled and laughed and sometimes I cried. Felt your love fill my heart with joy and the emptiness that the day employed. Raced the moment to hold still time as if you were in my arms and not in my mind. The galaxy inviting, the stars spell out your name and there my soul soars to embrace another day. Dreams are but a gateway to bring you close to me in hope that when I wake up you'll be lying next to me. The road is awfully fuzzy, the mountains do seem high, the rivers are widening but not the memories I keep inside. The winter is upon us, days limited of sun, until I close my eyes and allow my soul to run. Racing the wind to be where you are and feel your arms around me like the heavens embrace the stars. Life is so fickle that we don't know where it will lead, but if I follow my heart, I'll be living the dream.

The song I hear,
the music fills the air,
teasing the mind,
of another time.

The tears that fall,
remember it all,
the days of laughter,
and dreams of forever
after.
~

Embracing the Silence

2011-12-29T20:37:00.001-05:00

The winter sun is shining,
as bright as it can be,
a reminder of summer,
it touched on memories.

My heart quivered,
my soul stood in denial,
but the truth surfaced
and it's there behind
each and every smile.

The largest brightest star...Merry Christmas!

2011-12-24T22:55:00.002-05:00

My hair is pulled up in soft loose curls. I had chosen a v-neck sweater dress in a not so quite turquoise, I think it is a little more green. Diamond earrings, my daughters snowman bracelet and camel color high heel boots. I have been anxious to head out for the evening and I am as ready as I am going to get for Christmas morning. In one breath I am happy to be celebrating the season and yet I find myself wiping tears that seem to fall without an obvious reason. Everyone of us has a time and place and a vulnerability. We wake up to a new day and that in itself is a gift. There are other gifts, as close as the stars and yet distant, one with the world and yet separate, bonding of hearts and yet divided. I find myself wanting to rejoice and at the same time feeling my body quiver and like the snow as it melts from the sun, I feel my heart melt from your love.

I looked to the sky, to the star shining bright and I knew at that moment you were holding me tight. No rivers nor mountains, no miles can divide, the love from your heart which warms deep inside. Half of me is happy, the other half sad as the tears are a reminder of both my needs and all that I have.. No words from my lips but a whisper the same as I looked to the sky on this early Christmas day. Magical and wonderful if you let it all in , the joy of life when you bond with a friend. I looked to the sky, the star shining bright and I knew at that moment you were holding me tight. Merry Christmas!

As I look back at older pieces....well my grammar is way off.

More precious than any treasure royalty could hold, more valuable than that of the most highly prized gold . Heavier than a mountain , lighter than the breeze , warmer than the sunshine and more beautiful than any dream. You can float it on the river, and hold it in your heart and when you close your eyes at night you can see it in the dark.

It can comfort a distressed baby , wipe the tears from a broken heart , it can halt raging waters and cause a fire to spark. It can knot a field of flowers and at your feet a bouquet lay and when distressed and overwhelmed allow the child to play.

Love

What Makes The Sky Blue

2011-12-21T07:34:00.000-05:00

The image of your smile,
the love that flows from you,
my heart void of emptiness
makes the sky so blue.

The joy we share,
the memories we made,
the dreams of happiness,
brings colors to the day.
~

The treasures of life make
a king and queen of you and I,
for the wealth is from the love
we share under blue skies.

Compassion over flows,
the joy lights the sky and
the bonding of our two
souls burst out from inside.

Treasures we share, like
passion through the air,
magical indeed, conquers
those who disbelieve.

Stars from the heavens,
shines down on you and I,
with a sparkling celebration
of the day our soul combined.

~

Loneliness is when you close your eyes,
and you can't see the love of your life.
As long as you want me in your heart
I'll be for I promise forever a day plus
eternity.

I am there with you, I'm holding your hand,
don't let it go, my heart so demands.
There are rainbows,dreams waiting to come
true in a field of happiness there is only me
and you.

Why so many tears?

I believed that love could conquer all,
I banked on my dreams that I could have it all.
Love in the morning when I open up my eyes
and love through the day with no surprise.

Endless tears of the memories that never fade
and the cold and darkness that rule the day.
Sorrow and heartache and my pillow and I,
catch the tears like the rain falling from the
sky.

Peace and Contentment

2011-12-20T06:30:00.002-05:00

Hum the song of love,
no words do I need,
happiness is central,
when I stop to dream.

The day is just beginning
and like the day before,
I wake up counting my
blessings to you whom
I adore.

~

My heart is filled with love,
my thoughts are of you and
when I slowly close my eyes
I am right there next to you.

My dreams the net to catch me
when I am blue and like your
warm embrace holding tight
all the night through.

The rain is falling, where snowflakes
usually lay, unseasonable the weather
a reminder of gifts sent our way.

Like the memories and laughter,
the joy that love brings and the
faith in tomorrow that around
the corner is spring.

~

I don't want to go on rushing time away,

each moment we are together is like the month of may.

Sing a song, sing of love,

the words from heaven,

fell down from above.

Sing a song, sing of love,

rejoice in our togetherness,

the day we became one.

Sing a song, sing of love,

the words from heaven,

fell down from above.

Peace comes from knowing you are here,
contentment is in the moments we share.
The walk on the earth, the dance in the stars
the warmth of the beating of two hearts.

Happy thoughts and love filled dreams,
magical whims and sweet memories,
conjures up a spell to break the barriers
that distance held and place you here
next to me.

~

I woke this morning and my eyes were still asleep,
I reviewed my dreams just to hold you close to me.
The warmth of your spirit,, the magic of your smile ,
the power of love that extinguishes the miles.

I danced upon the heavens and there we embraced,
following your footsteps while staring into your face.
Your arms around me , your heart beat next to mine,
as we continued the dance of love upon the clouds.
~
Sings>Pull me ever close,
till our hearts are one.
I'll follow your dance lead
on the clouds above.

My head upon your shoulder,
as you whisper words of love,
and we dance the dance of
lovers, heart and souls as one.

Pull me ever close,
till our hearts are one.
I'll follow your dance lead
on the clouds above.

Not just words but emotion scripted from life.

2011-12-19T22:23:00.001-05:00

The year is coming to an end and as I do each year at this time I look back over my life. Sometimes I wonder exactly how I got here and then I remember something once said to me long ago” sometimes you find the road and sometimes the road finds you” As I packaged products for customers today, it occurred to me that I was packaging a little bit of heart and soul. Each product that I make and sell is a tribute to my life on Earth. Whether it is writing or my skin care it is a journey in motion. I tried to understand each person who had come into my life and why and at first I was confused. We don’t always see the gift until years later when we draw on the experience for the wisdom which is packed in each one. I looked at everything as if it had to have a beginning and end. But in retrospect it has all been one , like a set of building blocks creating a new day. Each block of life is formed for a very specific reason. Sometimes I have felt different and I understand now that difference is part of our individual character.

It is not about an angel singing a song,
nor a set of love birds wings flapping strong.
The magic of life, the mystery of a song, is
the sharing of life, knowing where you belong.

It is not about a mountain where I call your name,
nor the blue sky where I script it like a flame.
The mystery of words that I write for you are
left on your heart from the day I met you.

Merry Christmas

2011-12-16T22:58:00.001-05:00

My sister called she said" did you hear that they are threatening again to remove the manger in town square." I find it amazing if you listen to the story of baby Jesus that anyone could be threatened by peace and love. I have read the bible many times and the stories can take on many varied interpretations, but all in all they are lessons that have stood the test of time. I think of Christmas as a time of renewed faith. When you calculate the heaviness that is placed upon us, you find that having a faith can reduce the weight of negativity. Sometimes its about bringing peace and other times acceptance of that with which we have no control over. There are many things in life that might make you want to give up, the tragedies take on many forms. It might be so that the best angels are right here on earth.
Over the years I have lost many dear friends, those important people who helped in the creating of memories. As I have gotten older I find that not many people can fill the shoes of those special people. I was a bit melancholy and really not prepared for company. My son's girlfriend stopped in and asked if I could bring out the paints so she could make decorations for the tree. We cleaned off the table and she sat down with her spirit and smile. Grateful am I for those earthly angels that enter my life.
Life doesn't always follow the plan and as I thought about my disappointments the tears swelled and I could not hold them back. I feel robotic at times moving to the expectations of others. My heart is heavy and I hunger to be held.

Lights on the tree,
christmas bells in the air,
the joy of the season
is a celebration that nears.

My dreams are all so simple,
and meaningful to me, they
place you in my arms as
we dance to memory.

My eyes are closed and still
I can see through my heart
the love that was always
meant to be.

Lights on the tree,
Christmas bells in the air,
the joy of the season
is a celebration that nears.

~
On the clouds in the heavens,
this dance for you and I,
take my hand, take my heart
for all of time.

On the clouds in the heavens,
this dance for you and I,
from my heart to yours,
there will be no goodbyes.

On the clouds in the heavens,
this dance for you and I,
take my hand, take my heart
for all of time.

I want to give up in the worst way,

but I don't think it is in my genetic make up.
~

Snap, crackle the wood is burning,

the holiday is near. I find myself,

daydreaming wishing that you

were here.

Snap,crackle the wood is burning,

the fireplace is all a glow and the

season is coming fast as I sit here

all alone.

Snap, crackle the wood is burning,

as I vision you with me. Cliche,

a bear skin rug and a look at my

dreams.

I look at the stars, they are shinning awfully bright,

knowing they are a glow in your world and min each night.

My arms open and my heart waits for you,

my dreams of forever of a love of two.

I sit it wondering the night away, wishing

and wanting you both night and day.

My arms open and my heart waits for you,

my dreams of forever of a love of two.

Sliding on rainbows, jumping the clouds,

a silly dance spinning around..

If every dream brought you near,

enough to feel your love, I'd never

open up my eyes, in fear you

disappear from sight.

High on a hill

2011-12-15T21:33:00.002-05:00

When I was a young child I had a connection with a building that sat high on the hill. When ever I saw this majestic structure, I knew I was in one way or another close to home. The irony is the castle like building with this unusual globe was close enough that I could see it from my little corner of the world, but far enough away that it was never really within grasp. It had a fantasy like quality to it and that might have been part of the draw. But really I guess it had to do with the fact that when I felt alone or lost I would turn around and it would be there, high on the hill. I said to myself " one day I am going to take a drive by it to see it up close", but I do believe the building had been taken down long ago. I guess I have always had a sort of sentimental connection to places and things. As if an object held a memory which brought comfort and a sense of peace.
It was a long day today and I find myself trapped in total exhaustion. So as I sit back and relax my mind drifts to that safe place all those many years ago. Somethings never leave like the uncontrollable emotions that have me running away within my mind.

Runs fast, runs far,
to open heart and
there I find your
open arms.

Runs fast, runs far,
to love so true,
where I share
a kiss with you.

Runs fast, runs far,
beyond mountains high,
where all is seen from
the blue sky.

Runs fast, runs far,
I am safe at last ,
no tears or heartache,
in the dreams I clasp.

Runs fast, runs far,
I am all alone,
running circles,
which way do I go?

Runs fast, runs far,
an image I see,
who stands there
in the darkness,
waiting for me?

~
The darkness drapes the evening,
the stars take to the sky and it's
at this very moment that I quickly
close my eyes.

~
To close my eyes is to fall asleep,
to fall asleep is to live in the dream,
to live in the dream is to feel your arms,
to feel your arms is to know love,
to know love is to embrace peace.

~

From Earth To The Stars

2011-12-12T21:59:00.003-05:00

Tears to laughter,
sadness to a smile,
heartache to a dream
and love all the while.

Stars to the heavens
your love to my heart,
an angel that whispers
the memories from afar.

We are the product of our dreams.

To string the multi colored lights
all throughout the tree,represents
the diversity of every thought and dream.

I woke to the darkness and yet the light of your love

lit the morn as it shines in my heart.

Mankind placed upon a pedestal is the first step of failure,

for we are not superior in thought nor action until

we are one with the world.

Dreams are the catalyst which
place you in my arms.

In the Midst of a Snow Storm

2011-12-07T11:56:00.004-05:00

Lullaby a sweet song,

I'll sing softly for you,

a melody of the heart

of a dream come true.

Rest my darling with your

head to my breast and

in the arms a comfort

as we are truly blessed.

Lullaby a sweet song,

I'll sing softly for you,

a melody of the heart

of a dream come true.

I thought about all of the various holidays and not far behind comes the word expectations. Expectation clearly lines a path that may or may not lead to disappointment. I found myself torn in the belief that everyday is a holiday waiting to be celebrated and another part of me falls into the ummm Rockwell Christmas! With the children not always home for a holiday,there was collage, the military, living in different states and splitting the day with in laws etc. So when my children were disappointed that they couldn't be home for a holiday, I would say when family is together any day and every day is a holiday.
But most holidays whether they are religious or not center around gratitude. We are grateful for the teachings of kindness that Christmas so celebrates, the opportunity for renewal that the Resurrection teaches and even those that celebrate presidents or labor day and our military. Each holiday has become a way of bringing families closer together or at least it should be. But in reality sometimes the joy of the season is over looked by our need to fulfill the dream of a Rockwell painting.
The true meaning of the holidays somehow gets lost in the traditions that we tend to follow. The perfect dinner, the right gift, games, entertainment and a host of the usual expected such as ten varieties of baking cookie, that are gobbled up in the first fifteen minutes.
I have looked back over the many years, the parties, celebrations, joys and disappointments. I have learned allot and I have healed and grown not only as a woman but as a human being. Each day I wake up I am grateful that my eyes have opened, my health is with me and that I will still chance to take various paths on the journey. I am grateful for whatever came before us that created earth in its perfection. I rejoice in that I love and that I am loved. I celebrate the magic of life which has allowed the collisions of various souls. Bewildered and yet understanding of the trials in which we summarize and script as our eternal legacy. The coming together of spirit to dance freely upon the heavens, to sing from the heart and to make love to the moment.
With love as our guide, allow peace to promote a well being that can be celebrated each day of the year. May we remember that a day on the calender is just a reminder of the actions that we should live through out our life. Balancing our emotions with our actions and allowing the love to flow through is necessary in bedding peace in the heart. .

If I should give to you a gift,
no gift wrap will I need,
for in your heart I left my
love and the joy of memory.

Our souls in unity,
harmony now resides,
for once peace has entered,
only happiness is what we'll find.

“For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
... A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance...”
- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is much that can be felt when love

is the source of energy.

To eradicate the world of evil thoughts,

is the first step towards uniting in peace.

All mankind benefits with respect at the helm.

This holiday season is not about what we wrap with our hands,

but what we give with our hearts.

These words are simply my thoughts...

The greatest weapon to keep evil from gaining ground is love.

Christmas flowers and holiday cards,

the three wise men following a star.

Celebrations each day of the year,

in honor of the love you and I share.

Trees decorated with so many lights,

enough to brighten the darkest night.

The road to happiness begins here,

in honor of the love you and I share.

Dancing with the snowflakes,
spinning around and filled with glee,
celebrating love and how much you
mean to me.

Pulls you close and holds gently
in my heart, where I feel the magic
brought you here from a far.

Dancing with the snowflakes,
spinning around and filled with glee,
celebrating love and how much you
mean to me.

I can't hide the smile nor the sparkle
in my eyes as I dream of you my darling
and the love I hold inside.

Dancing with the snowflakes,
spinning around and filled with glee,
celebrating love and how much you
mean to me.

This poem resurfaced and I was amazed at the year it was written, seems like yesterday.

FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2007

No Loneliness

Allow no loneliness to reside,
whispers of love to your heart
collide.

Branched upon a tree of high,
waiting the wind to come on by.

Take my breath and feel it near,
the breeze that blows is not to fear.

I have sent in the current above,
all the magic that exist in Love..

an old but goodie...

No Loneliness

Early Christmas Kisses

2011-12-04T07:52:00.002-05:00

> mistletoe<

Kiss Now!

Frazzled that everyone wasn't up and moving to get to the farm to get a Christmas tree, check out the holiday vendors and the festivities that were planned for the day.I was discouraged and just a wee bit under the weather and maybe a little temper-mental as I yelled that the day was not going to plan Much later in the day my young adult children went to the farm without me to pick out a Christmas tree. I have to admit as they placed it in the tree stand that the Douglas fir looked perfect. In its perfection I saw the pride in which they chose the tree, the joint effort in working together and a joy of the season that flowed through them . As I looked on at the tree or maybe it was past the tree, I had found myself gazing as if through the eyes of a child. How could it be that the hopes and dreams with which we struggle to understand as a child stays with us to this very day? I believe all of our actions from early on to this very moment are accumulative. Like building blocks furthering the depth of character.
There was something my daughter wrote that stayed with me, she said " I wrote my life in pen, so that when I made a mistake I couldn't erase it." I imagine that is her spin on learning from your mistakes. But I found that we make so many of them because no two are ever the same. It seems that they are not always identifiable because they appear to take on a different feel so that we don't recognize an error until we already have passed through the water filled pothole. As the years press on I feel overwhelmed with the child like emotions and experiences which meet with a maturity level that time itself brings. It doesn't change the story that has already been written but it does give a different view and a choice at an alternate ending.
Like balancing your investments, you look at what you have and gained and lost by the experiences. In all reality you never really lose anything as everything that happens is realistically a part of the journey. Why does it have to hurt? Looking into the eyes of the many people I meet you get a glimpse of their heaven and hell. I realized that is hell is not death, it is our inability to deal with a segment of the journey. That is what makes each persons experience a hell our lack of coping skills. I thought that maybe those who found acceptance of the negative to easily were just desensitized and therefore overlooked the obvious. But that would only be so if they continued to make the same mistakes. Of course there is a level of ignorance as well as circumstances that need to be addressed.
With my thoughts drifting off in different directions, I hope that with love in my heart I can redirect my thoughts and surround myself with the optimism that the season is capable of bringing. The responsibility lies within our own choices and guides us in a positive way.So as I stare once more at the undressed Christmas tree, I allow only the warmth of your love close to me.

My head on your shoulder,
your heart beat next to mine,
the flesh quivers, the soul resigns,
for we are strengthened by our
love and the words are written like
a scroll in the heavens above.
.

Sings a little love song,
hums a familiar tune,
writes the words in
the heavens blue.

Embrace life,
dance within your heart,
move with the steps,
that join us from afar.

Sings a little love song,
hums a familiar tune,
writes the words in
the heavens blue.

Under the Blue Skies

Under the blue skies,
down by the sea,
near a pine tree or
rolling in leaves.

When I am with you,
heart, soul or mind,
I feel the love that
conquers time.
~

No Christmas lights,
no colors do I need,
for I have your love
and that's enough for me.

No sadness,
nor skies of gray,
for I have your love
the sunshine that never fades.
~
Dreams
Here are my dreams,
this is my life,
far from perfect,
and yet it feels right.

~
Sometimes the holidays which are meant to be a beautiful celebration of life and the gift of love are overwhelmed with the disappointment of to many expectations. There is no greater gift than to be loved.

Sharing my pillow morning and night,
watching you dream under the stars
bright light.

Strolling down the lane,
holding your hand turns
away skies of gray.

By the sea, on a mountain,
in a field we lay, in the
clouds through sunshine
or rain.

~

Holly or mistletoe,
morning or night,
I'll kiss you sweet
darling for the rest
of my life.

~

Can't sleep until whisper in your ear> I love you...good night !

December 1st

2011-12-01T18:11:00.002-05:00

Think... sweet kisses,
hands held tight,
arms around you,
love in sight.

Think... sweet blessings,
yours and mine,
grace our lives,
till the end of time.

Think... the moment,
when dreams are made,
some come true and
others fade.

Think... my love,
I give to you,
from earth to the
heavens, just us two.

~
Calms my spirit, soothes my mind,
the road to heaven is mighty fine.
You and I travel far as we meet
each night beyond the stars.

~

Heaven is when your heart is open

and love walks in .

I am most at peace,

when I can feel your love.

Celebrate

2011-11-29T22:42:00.002-05:00

I spoke to my heart and I asked "what do you feel?" and at first the heart quivered and for a mere second it stood still and than it just whispered " sweet love, I feel, a tease like a rain drop cool on the skin causes a shiver and wakes from within" Amazed by the response I smiled and I giggled and the memories flowed and inside and out I started to wiggle. Love is empowering and fills a tremendous need. pure, untainted and absent of greed. Again I questioned in an obvious plea " heart tell me what did you see?"" The heart paused for a moment or two and suddenly chanted" I saw the love, the love that lives in you" Some sit in judgement rules are made and it feels like a caretaker digging a grave. One last question came to mind, I blurted out loudly as if temporarily insane " tell me heart, let me know, who wrote the script and which way to go?" The heart beat quickly giving my soul a test and quickly responded with " surely you jest?" " The journey is a script from the heavens above and the road is paved strictly of love. There are bridges and valleys, rivers and seas but the path of love can bring down the largest of trees. No barriers of brick, no mountains high as the path you follow comes from inside. " I pondered as I gazed through the window of life at a journey that was not always easy and right. Choices were made and choices I followed and some led me out of the depths of the hollow. Solemn I felt the shadows of fear that kept me from listening with both of my ears. The morning is nearing, goodbye night sky, I am ready and waiting for that first glimpse of sun light. With love in my heart and the path through the hollow, I will count my blessing as my soul I follow.

Love is so wonderful and beautiful as can be,
like a warm summer breeze that reached on
out to me.

I celebrate the moment you first said hello to me,
took my hand and held it and redid all my dreams.

Sent to me your love in a gift for all eternity, with
a ribbon red upon your heart filled with memories.

I celebrate the moment you first said hello to me,
took my hand and held it and redid all my dreams.

Triggered the smiles from deep down inside and
added the passion that set my soul on fire..

Sincerely The Moonglows

Barefoot in the Snow

2011-11-28T20:33:00.000-05:00

To dance in your arms,
and feel your heart beat,
to the song of love that
you sing to me.

To whisper of love on
the clouds high and embrace
your love in the blue of the
sky.

~
Barefoot in the snow,
dancing on the clouds,
snowflakes on my tongue,
love within my heart and
the dreams of the soul.

~

It is because I knew what I didn't have,

that I now know what I do have.

When despair is heavy and drapes the eve,

I think of your love and I am showered by spring.

Love is unselfish...

2011-11-28T20:09:00.000-05:00

I ask for no more than you my love can give,

for I have all that is needed for in my heart you live.

Unlock my heart that I may feel
the sweet touch of love to my
soul leaves a brazen chill.

Open my eyes so that I'll see,
the visions of love when you
are side by side close to me.

As the flames reach beyond their realm of existence,

I feel your love touch my heart and embrace my spirit.

When hearts are pure and passion flows free,

the souls are unleashed by love to

soar through all our dreams.

Page by page recorded the steps we take

through life, some are filled with heartache

and have not been very nice. But love is

so endearing and wonderful indeed and

as we travel further we have only to believe.

Your presence is felt like the wind to my cheek...
~
I placed my faith in the Lord above,
I knew he guide me safe and like the
waves that reach the shore your love
in my heart can be traced.

The Lord said " no more sorrow, no
fear shall you face, for you have met
with the earthly angels and they will
bargain with the hands of fate."

Tears welled up behind my eyes and
I thought just one would fall, until I
heard the words of love from the
mountains call.

Thanksgiving Review

2011-11-27T17:56:00.003-05:00

My eldest son held thanksgiving dinner this year and though I tried to help him in the kitchen, I laughed as he scrambled about trying to make sure everything was warm at the same time. I looked on at my adult children who had all come together in a family celebration. It was some feat from the little boys who fussed with the potatoes in the kitchen, slid on the baking flour and ran around in their Batman and Robin P J's singing to a broom as a microphone . The flash of memories reminded me of all that I had to be grateful for, but it was the steaming hot gravy that brought to mind my grandmother. I never realized just how important she was in my life. My grandfather had passed away long before I was born and my grandmother was a very strong individual. She always did her best to make a holiday and though it was a standing joke that the gravy was the only thing hot, it was amazing that she did so much alone. Once each school year we would go to where grandma worked and there I think is where she had the most impact on me. I saw her beauty, her smile, the sparkle in her eye, strength, wisdom and the love in her. She played a big part in my life, she taught me courage, the will to do and believe and balance and that hard work rewards us with the proper time to relax. She loved to dress up, she loved the shimmer and sparkle and she loved life. As the day came quickly to and end, I had to give thanks that through such a young life of turmoil that I had such a person to look up to.

I am grateful for all the experiences,

past and present.

Nothing is more wonderful than reaching out
for your hand and feeling you reaching back.
~

...they must be tears of happiness....I love you.

~

...wipes a tear and smiles, thinks of you!

Holiday movies and silly songs,
wishes and dreams of where I belong.
Snowflakes in a winter storm on
the stage of life they miraculously
perform.

Love brings me close to you and there
is nothing we can't do. We'll take all
forms of time and create a concerto
out of a love chime.

~

The words all mingled together and I knew
not what they meant, except for the words
of love which appeared to be heaven sent.
They cast you in my dreams and placed
you in my heart and gave light to the dark.

Scattered here to where you are and
placed together ignited a spark. The
power of my dreams is placing you
in my arms for all eternity.

My soul enlightened and the heaviness gone,
for I now know exactly where I do belong.
Stars in the heavens twinkling bright, the
glow shining down in a wonderful sight.

The angels are singing our sing, the
song of love and how time did us wrong.
Stand still when I am near you and close
to your heart, don't let another moment
keep us apart.

~
Holiday dreams and I am with you,
simple magic where dreams come
true.

No promises needed for you have
my heart and that is the reason
we will never part.
~

It is not about the holiday lights,
but the colored ones will do, as
I decorate for Christmas with
colors from red to green and blue.

Twinkle of magic and a dusting from
a far sprinkled love gently over our
hearts. Sweet kisses warm so
tenderly share the spirit of love
that took a hold of me..

Flattened a mountain and bridged the
mighty sea, placed you in my arms
where you were always meant to be.
Dance my love, dance with me, for
we are forever, like forever should be.

my dreams of you.

Christmas dreams and I am with you,

Pure and Calm

as close as your love in my heart.

Singing oh! yes I'm singing,
singing of my love for you.

I'd just wanna tell you, I just want
you to know, how much I really love
you and need you so.

Singing, oh! yes I'm singing,
singing my way to your arms.
~
If I were gonna make a rainbow,
I'd make it just for you, give it
all kinds of color, like the red
of a rose, the blue of the sky,
and the sparkle from my eyes,
on a bridge from me to you.

If I were gonna make a rainbow,
I'd make it just for you, add
all my love and kisses and hugs
and stretch it across the
heavens big blue, directly
from me to you.

The Window of Life

2011-11-20T20:40:00.000-05:00

The weather is unseasonably warm and grateful as I am, I know it is a short lived moment. I spent little time doing anything of importance and mostly relaxed from a very hectic weekend. I was listening to music while driving down the road and a song came on that kind of took me back in time. I rarely go that far back in time, but it felt like like a sixty second flip book, While the pages of life flashed before me, I went from a small child, to a young woman to the present. I tried to hold back the tears but they just flowed as I tried to reason with the memories. What is the meaning of our journey and are we really responsible for all that happens? I think up to a point we are responsible but a good bit is out of our hands. Kind of reminds of the statement, that "we all have our heaven and hell." Part of me feels like that child of so many years ago and I find an uneasiness with the passing of time. Reluctantly I have said good by to family members , a sister, brother, father and close friends and wonder what the future holds.

Whispers to my soul,
from days of long ago,
reminders of a lifetime,
storms of summer and
a winter snow.

Stories unfolding,
and still I do not know
the meaning of this
journey and where
it will go.

2011-11-17T22:51:00.000-05:00

Play a little music,
sing a little song,
dance all night,
compassionately in
your arms.

Live the moment,
let love on in,
as we celebrate,
the happiness from
within.

Without You

2011-11-15T21:15:00.003-05:00

It is not a dark and gloomy November day,

for I feel your love bright and your heart

warm touch my very soul.

Priceless treasures are with us

from the moment we open our eyes.

I would rather write the words of love for all eternity

than scatters words of heartache so that sorrow may breed.

Sings> I don't need a mountain to shout
from heavens high, my heart does the
whispering of the love that lives for
all time.

I don't need a story to tell you how
much I care, the words indelible are
written like magic through the air.

I don't need a song to sing of our love,
my souls plays upon the heart the music
of our ever lasting love.

I don't need a dream to cast you in my arms,
you have been there from day one safe with
in my heart.

I don't need a ship to sail my love to you,
I placed it on a cloud and I sent my love
to you.

I don't need reminders like blue birds in
the sky, the sunrise in the morning, I have
the look in your eyes.

I don't need a memory of yesterday, all
I ever wanted is your love to never fade
away.

I don't need rainbows arched across the
sky, all I truly need is sweetness of
your lips to mine.

I don't need strangers to acknowledge
how I feel, as long as you know it
all is right with the world.

I don't need to write a poem a day,
but as long as my hands are willing ,
my heart will write forever and a day.

I don't need anything but you, for you
my love are the meaning of the sky
blue.

~

Happiness is an incredible emotion

gifted to anyone willing to accept.

Smile and be happy,
no clouds of gray,
I am there with you.
throughout the day.

Smile and be happy,
grateful am I , for
the magic of life,that
put you by my side.

Smile and be happy,
this moment is true,
from the moment you
whispered I love you.

Smile and be happy,
pull that joy from inside
like the stars in the heavens,
our love will shine bright.

~

There is no sunshine in the morning,
no nightly stars shining bright,
no laughter without you,
no love without you in my life.

There is no music in the air,
no doves above the mountains high,
no signs of love until I look
into your heart and gaze into your eyes.

Without you the skies loses their
brilliant blue, the clouds drift away
and all that remains is the darkness
that distance creates.

Sings>Without you,
there is no love,
no joy in my heart,
only sadness and loneliness
from that which keeps you
a far.

Without you,
there is no dreams
no dance on the clouds,
no arms to catch me,
when I am falling down.

Without you,
there is no meaning,
to the moment in the day,
no reasoning that we should
be separated by clouds of
gray.

Without out you,
I am lonely, sad and blue,
wishing on the stars
for my dreams to come
true.

The absence of your love creates a

void that cannot be filled.

Feeling Red

2011-11-15T11:13:00.001-05:00

With love you have the world at your fingertips...

I always thought red was a difficult color to pull off. I think it is a bold expression of ones personality. Today I am feeling red. Whether this little bit of an obnoxious attitude is a good thing or not is to be seen.

Brave and gutsy,

strong and bold,

feeling red, like

days of old.

Beyond the tears,

no more sorrow,

happiness awaits

our tomorrows.

The more things in life we are involved with,

the more complicated it becomes.

Sometimes nothing is more...

Comfortably in your arms.

2011-11-13T18:43:00.003-05:00

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
The wind blew like a storm on a winter day,
a roar that to my soul shouted out your name.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
The heavens bowed gracefully as they cast
you in my path, showers of love in which
I take a bath.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Silence controlled the night until my heart soared free,
and there above the clouds you can hear it sing.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Rumbling and roaring, I ran into your arms,
felt life dissipate as I felt free from harm.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Grateful am I to explore a day, while on a
journey to where love makes a grand display.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Sand between my toes and waves that rush to
shore and somewhere in the equation our love
was born.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Felt your hand reach for mine and frozen I
stood still and yet my heart was racing as
your love was willed.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
Laid down next to you , to feel your heart beat
and their I document our love for eternity.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.
I felt the moment, I felt your love, holding me
close as you whispering undying words of love.

Gazed unto the bluest sky that I had ever seen,
strolled the shores of life waiting on a dream.

Sings> Like the wind that blows from afar,
may my love reach out to your heart.
Counting the moonbeams, dancing
on the stars in our dreams, holding
you in my arms for all eternity.

Like the wind that blows from afar,
may my love reach out to your heart.
Hold me lose to you and don't let go,
I'll see us through the winter snow.
~

When I need your lovin and to feel your warm embrace,
I close my eyes darling and we are standing face to face.
Pull me close as two hearts can be with the merging of souls
begins a new dream.

When I need your lovin and to feel your warm embrace,
I close my eyes darling and we are standing face to face.
Somethings are of an everlasting desire, a magic of life
that truly does inspire.
~
Dead end roadways no where to go,
running around in circles like a rabbit
on the go.

Stumbles and occasionally falls, but this
is where you reached on out and I
felt your love flow.
~

I feel the most sense of peace when your love finds it place within my heart....I love you.

It is a Need...I need you!

2011-11-13T14:02:00.000-05:00

O, I hold close sweet love,

and in my heart it lives,

the joy of happiness, that

only true love gives.

Frazzled until the wings of your love lifted me in flight

there upon the clouds ...we dance.

I have met many a soul,

a few were worth the meeting,

but one is extra special and the

memory worth repeating.

It is not until you listen to the whispers of the soul,

that you understand the magic of loves hold.

Right now, at this very moment,

I close my eyes, open my heart and

embrace with my soul....your love.

It was in the absence of love

that I saw the truth of yesterdays revelation.

It is not of want nor need
that I reach for you, naturally
it is of true love that I know
what I need to do.

To feel the embrace of your
sweet love, day and night
and wake each morning
with your love the guiding light.

My eyes do not fail me they
see what others don't, what
my heart reveals to me in the
shadows of the dark.

Overcome by emotions,
my heart I give to you,
smiles and dreams and
days of love await the
merging of sweet love
from me to you.

To brighten your day,
when skies are no longer
blue and give to you my
kisses to see you through.

If you can hear me, listen well
and my heart will speak to you,
no tales or stories or poems of
love, only my sincere love for
you.

If you can feel me, embrace my
touch, my soul reaches out to you,
let it warm you inside and out as
as I send my love to you.

~

I said "no tears, no tear shall fall,
no sorrow or heartache" and yet
the memories still haunt to this
very day.

I said" no fear, no fear will there be,
and yet the days of turmoil continue
to follow me.

Cemetery of the Alleghenies

It has been said that " war is hell". Long after troops are with drawn and a war is declared over, the hell lives on in the minds of our returning soldiers and their families. On Veterans day we give tribute to those who paid the ultimate price for freedom and that is with their lives. Yet many times the horror that remains within those who actively served during war time is overlooked. War does not end simply by saying so, it haunts the living and those who never truly understand the evil that puts a nation on the defense. I am reminded by a simple statement made by a child " we are simply educated animals ." It is mind boggling when I think of how far we have come and not. That evil survives through hate, greed and ignorance and that we can replace an organ and create artificial knee's and hips yet we can't begin to work together as one unit in the name of Peace.
I am amazed when I look back on childhood and think how much a ten year old thinks about. I remember wanting to find a cure for mental health issues. To this day the brain is still a guarded secret, as much as we have learned about DNA and the chemicals that control it , much is still unknown. What triggers flash backs? Sometimes a word, a memory or a thought. Why is it that some humans have difficulty of letting go of the negative? Many times it is those whose heart or emotions conflict with the minds thought. I hope that people begin to see not only the physical wounds that are contributed by war, but the mental wounds that for some may never heal.

The Cost of Freedom

It is true that many died,
so that we may live in peace.
Battles won and battles lost,
and days laced with defeat.

Some look at the cost as
a monetary loss, but life is
so darn precious each soul
to our hearts embossed.

Iconic and Epic and Going Viral

2011-11-10T13:39:00.001-05:00

Talk about pet peeves. One that I find to be an extreme irritant is the overuse of words. I think I am going to puke if I hear Icon. Iconic, Epic and oh yeah ! going viral, overused one more time. An epic storm is coming across the Pacific, he or she is and icon, your product needs an iconic appeal and this video has gone viral. Does it ever occur to anyone that the media which people look up to are just not to bright? Can they not find another word to identify , relate or express with. There are a few other words and terms that drive me crazy but these are surely at the top of my list. We hear how Americans ruin the English language and I am beginning to agree with them. The urban dictionary is becoming more popular as the internet has created a a new vocabulary not necessarily seen in the old english dictionary. Watching the nightly news and hearing the newscasters mispronounce Target and J.C Penny's as if they were words written in French, is like chalk scratching the chalkboard. Is this a part of the limitations set by industry upon the community? What does this have to do with prose? Prose is a quick glimpse at a moment in time. Though life brings with it similarities it also brings with it differences.
If ever I should repeat a day, may it be within your arms, tasting the sweetness of your lips and enjoying your sweet charm. If ever I should overuse one particular set of words, let it be " I love you from the bottom of my heart." If I should duplicate a single dream, it would be to wake and see your smile, to feel the warmth of your love and bridge each and every mile. If I were to live my life again and start at seventeen, I'd hold your hand from day one and your heart for all eternity. If I were to reiterate the words whispered from my soul, I start with unraveling the love that from my heart unfolds.
~
Classic is the common
in which people relate,
but "I love you" is
symbolic written by
the hands of fate.

The marathon of emotion,
impressive indeed,
cast out from the heavens,
delivered within our dreams.

One day a month or so ago my children were arguing over who gets the china when I am long gone from this earth. At first I couldn't believe what I heard so I thought I would start a collection of six sets of china so that they each would have their own collection. The responses to that made me chuckle at just what goes through people's minds. My daughter looked on and she said "what are you doing? " I instantly told her about my goal to have complete sets of china for her and each of her brothers. She said" but I don't want any china, I would only want the china that we shared memories with , shared thanksgiving, decorated for Christmas and prepared for the finest of occasions. " I told her about the antique set and the value of it." she said who would want that it is someone else's memories. " My son Nick said " what am I going to do with china, where am I going to put it under the bridge?" It was always a standing joke with him, as his favorite childhood story was the " Runaway bunny " He would try to think of places I wouldn't want to go, and he would say" I am going to live under the bridge" I laughed and said well you have a point, they might steal the china out of your grocery cart to buy beer. He quickly responded" well that is not to bad then I'll steal back the beer...I guess I'll take the china. There is some irony to a material items and how each person views it. One child looked on and said they are so pretty, another one saw memories, one could care less, the other saw money,etc. In a conversation I saw within each of my children, the heart, greed, selfishness, beauty and all the other elements that make them human.
Relieved that my recent test proved not to be breast cancer and simply benign growths, I felt a sense of peace. I had thought to myself of what it is we leave behind. The dishes are very vulnerable to time and can easily break. I had hoped that the gift I leave with them would not be something monetary, but hopefully positive memories, that not only fills the minds but also the heart.. Exhausted from all the testing and the few days of running around and accompanying my mother from her surgery, I am gathering my thoughts and relaxing a little.
The grandest of all experiences comes from a simple touch of love. Caring, loving, embracing and the gift that time allows us all surface. It is a little warmer today and the sun is shining. I am eager to walk out side and feel the warm wind watch the remainder of leaves fall from the trees as entertain the dreams that bring you close. It is a wonderful and the sky is so blue...

I hold no hate within my heart,
no sorrow do I see, but I have
grown out of the perimeters
set to contain my love and dreams.

~

Till I hold you in my arms,
till your heart beats next to mine,
I'll just keep on dreaming, even if
it takes till the ends of time.

Till the angels sing our song,
till I wake up to you,
I'll just keep on dreaming , even if
it takes tills the ends of time.

Till the willow whispers softly,
till you hear it speak of love,
I'll just keep on dreaming , even
if takes till the ends of time

I'll Just Light a Candle

2011-11-08T06:18:00.000-05:00

I'll just light a candle,'
I'll just dream of you,
erase all signs of darkness,
only blue skies will shine
through.

I'll just sing of blue birds,
I'll just dance with you,
over the hills and valleys,
where fields of flowers
once grew.

I'll just think of love,
of holding you tight,
embracing for ever,
the joy of life.

I'll just climb the mountains,
I'll just call out to you and
when the day is over, I'll
be there loving you..

I'll just light a candle,
no suffering will there be,
I'll just make the sunshine,
in your heart is where I'll be

Two Souls

2011-11-05T02:23:00.002-04:00

Miles and miles between them,

as the darkness overwhelms,

the hunger of two hearts that

cross the barriers with morning

smiles.

He longs to kiss her lips and

pleasure each moment of the

day with the warmth of his

love in the most amazing way.

She whispers in the darkness,

and to the heavens she pleads,

" to feel his love when she

awakens from her morning dream"

Troubled spirits, a turmoil

for two, as the day brings

varied trials, where they

know not what to do.

He gave to her his friendship,

she returned it with a smile,

and a longing to close the

gap of the distant time and miles.

Several tears had fallen,

as she questioned. "Who

wrote the script of love

separated by the rivers,

mountains and the clouds

above?"

He shares with her his energy,

his gift of giving life and she

accepted it so graciously,

morning, noon and night.

Every story has a beginning

more than a chapter or two,

but this story has no ending,

as it is written in the sky of blue.

She wiped away her tears, a strand

of hair she brushed from her cheek,

as she once more closed her eyes

and imagined just how wonderful

life could be.

No one can for see where the journey

will take them and as you gaze unto

the night sky and watch the stars

shining bright, a reflection can be

seen, as they merge heart and soul

in flight.

Many thoughts have entered my mind over the last few days. I quickly sifted through allowing the negative to fall through while holding on to the positive. There are many experiences that surfaced which I truly did not have the full capacity at the time to understand. As time goes on and we are bluntly provided with a road trip tip down vulnerability lane. I looked around at the reminders of a full range of of accomplishments. Some on a personal note and others in the span of a more professional level. The question of "who am I ?" came to mind. It had to do with my daughter a lovely and attractive teenager in her junior year of high school. She has her share of friends and yet faces array of jealously factors. We discussed who she is. She said "I think people don't relate, I believe they think I am a little weird. " Then to the the event this pass Saturday where she worked with me for the day. Many people coming up to her and saying " is this your daughter?, she is so lovely just like her mom" That always irritates her, she said " I look nothing like you mom!" I tried to explain to her,what people see is not always the obvious. It could be an action, a reaction, the way you smile, the way you move or the way you wear your heart on your sleeve. She in that so obvious teenage way, rolled her eyes and shook her head. Actually she is allot like me and in many ways it comes through. From her emotions and her views of life and even in her abilities you can see the similarities of our personality. I remember discussing the same topic with my mother as she has done with me. It is not always easy to follow your heart and soul, but never the less it is rewarding.
The trials and triumphs... I have made my share of mistakes. But I don't know being who I am if given the chance to do it over, would I have chose a different path. I feel as if I stand before the world as an unfinished puzzle. Each experience places another piece with the soul based puzzle. Do we know when the puzzle is complete ? My eyes swell as I try to hold back the tears. Many people believe you do, that you know when the journey enters a dead end road. I feel a chill, I try to shake it off. I don't whether it was from the cool air and lower temperatures or the travel down the path of experience that sent a quiver through my spine.
I reached for my favorite peppermint tea, it had already chilled down to room temperature. The stories all started to merge together, like a collage in disarray. At this point none of it really seemed to matter. What was more important was, what road do I take now?, what choices do I make? what can I do different? There are many people who leave an impact on you. I feel as I am trying to pull it all together and make sense of it. Who am I? as my daughter would say " I think people think I am a little bit weird." But it all circles around to that which fell through the sifter. Do I toss the negativity away? do I bury it deep inside me? or do I use it as a lesson in life to guide me to a better place? My eyes closed as I type, I take a deep breath and slowly exhaling, clear my mind and blow away the pain of my yesterdays. Replacing the darkness with the warmth of your love quickly brought a smile to my face. I laughed to myself as I thought yes we have risen above the darkness and are on the journey forward. In my luggage, I packed the happiness we have shared, the warmth and love and the magic that dreams provide us with. It is amazing what one can do with just a small amount of willingness. My desk piled high with papers, I could barely find my framed Choo Choo picture. I think I can! I know I can! a little bit of Blood sweat and tears as I sing> " You've made me so very happy, I am so glad you came into my life"

Triggers Happiness

2011-11-03T08:06:00.001-04:00

The rainbow keeps flashing before my eyes,
an arch of color from your heart to mine.
Reminders of all that love can do, in a
shower of happiness over me and you.

The retelling of a story,
strengthens the tale,
for once upon a time,
I fell beneath the spell.

On the clouds a princess,
soon to be a queen,
from the heavens propelling
to the arms of her king.

It wasn't the sun because it failed to shine nor the rage of the ocean with its midnight tide. It wasn't the blue bird as it said goodbye nor was it the stars in the blue, blue sky. Something happen that I can't explain, the darkness and the gloom began to fade.I felt like I was dancing on a ship at sea and there you were beside me.

There is nothing anyone can do, to put out the flame that burns for you. The little bitty fire took to wind and that is where the story of love begins. My heart filled with hope, my soul overwhelmed with desire and here in the moment happiness quickly empowers.

Snowflakes melting on my tongue,

memories sweet of your love, as I

dance through each day with you.

Happiness is what I found, like

walking hand in hand all through

town, embracing under the blue.

My heart is awfully happy,

rising above the calamity, as

I share my life with you.

Snowflakes melting on my tongue,

memories sweet of your love, as I

dance through each day with you.

Sings>Kind actions, warm thoughts and my heart starts singing. Night skies, your eyes at my heart pinging. I don't know and I can't say but something happened special that day. Kind actions,warm thoughts and my heart started singing. Night skies, your eyes at my heart were pinging.

My heart is smiling from the dreams of you,

as I dance on the clouds in the heavens blue.

The Days of Love

2011-11-02T10:09:00.000-04:00

Built a bridge of laughter,
that's what love can do,It
stretches from me to you
bringing joy to the day.

Close and closer each heart,
beat, this part is not a dream,
your heart is here with me,
in everything I say and do.

I figure that at one time or another we all have imagined a Utopia. The perfect world , free of disease, greed, pain, violence and hate. Wow! that is allot to ask for, eliminating a big part of the human DNA. In reality to have a Utopia everyone would have to be on the same page with the same thought process. There are so many ways to look at life and comprehend what it is that we are here to achieve. Take for instance the technology that I use at this moment to share in my thoughts. What are the affects on the ecological stance of creating a world dependent on technology. Is our hunger for more knowledge, our very own means to destruction? Can we safely balance nature and technology? So many questions so few answers. In many instances it is as if we remove a problem by creating another one. If life were all about working for the greater good, tt would eliminate much of the negativity in which our nation propels.
Everyone's view of a Utopia is different. Whether it is religious, political, ecological or simple economics the possibility of such a world is virtually impossible without altering the DNA for aggression, greed and selfishness. It's not as if going back to simpler times did not come with its own issues. Like the silly adage that "ignorance is bliss." Are we heading on the track that finds man in another galaxy or are we on the path of destruction? Even in the utmost small communities peoples thoughts and visions of life are different. That can be construed as a freedom, which would mean to create a Utopia would strips us of our freedom.The freedom to be a unique individual free with thought.
My idea of a Utopia is rather simple, happiness throughout life and a fulfillment of the journey. The basic need to receive and give love. To view the people and the world around us as the treasures that they are. In my heart I believe I belong to the league of explorers. For in my Utopia we travel great distances to unite in love. The roads are paved with truth, happiness is abound and we dance eternally upon the clouds.
In the shadow of my own vulnerability, I see the hopes and dreams that I have yet to experience. Yet I rejoice, that I have touched a soul and felt the hand of love and when all is over and everything is said and done. I'll claim my place within the heavens reviewing the days of love.

Just a Thought

2011-10-31T11:50:00.000-04:00

We know how many lives we have touched in our lifetime,

can you imagine how many lives we have touched we don't know?

October Snow

2011-10-30T04:48:00.001-04:00

I shouted "it's to early!" as I woke up and looked out the window at the first glimpse of a winter wonderland. No matter what the calendar says, Mother nature has announced an early on set of winter. Life always brings to us a hint of the unexpected. I grabbed the shoes closest to me, my son's over sized boots and I headed for the door. There all around were signs that I was preparing to bring closure to the season of Autumn, my cactus potted, my sun chokes dug up and in a box and roots of various plants ready for storage. I quickly dragged the snow covered plants and boxes into the house. I am so not ready for the cold or the challenges that await me in the early days ahead.
I woke up from a dream I was in the house of a friend long gone. The images were so vivid and the conversation surreal, had one foot in reality and one in the world of dreams.It seems to be constant little reminders of how short life really is.As I craved to be held and loved, The gateway to ease my soul is through the gates of love, he who walks through them chances to see eternity.

No longer reaching out to he who walks away,
I reached inside to a love given long a go today.
The journey unmistakable, I have walked this
path before, but this one is a little different
it touched at the center of my core.

Breaking through all barriers, my head is held
up high as I hold to you my love and gaze unto
the blue of the sky. I shiver as I acknowledge
the distance hell create, but the warmth of your
love our own heaven makes.

~

The devils response is always unexpected,

lest we begin to think like him.

The chill a reminder of my strengths and my weaknesses.

The unknown is a very fearful place.

Life is always easiest when walking on a path in truth.

The cries of the soul, never go unheard,

but sometimes go unanswered.

My faith is strong,

my love everlasting.

My electric blanket is calling,

a good day to pull it over...

Cradle gently, hold tender yet tight, as I leave with you darling sweet kisses good night.

2011-10-28T23:13:00.001-04:00

Cradle gently,
hold tender yet tight,
as I leave with you darling
sweet kisses good night.

No darkness
nor shades of gray,
the love between us,
keeps us out of harms way.

Cradle gently,
hold tender yet tight,
as I leave with you darling
sweet kisses good night.

Warm and loving,
your heart to mine,
a comfort and peace,
for the rest of our life.

Cradle gently,
hold tender yet tight,
as I leave with you darling
sweet kisses good night.

Touch brings compassion to life. Some people take for granted the gifts of the human soul. When I was a very young child born into the most unusual set of circumstances I was able to sift through and retain all the positive traits that compassion, caring and the energy that can be felt through touch. We experience it for the first time when holding a new born , when comforting the ill and again throughout our lives when we share the inner part of our being. It is the gift of truth that reveals the power of love. As I hold tight my pillow, I allow my mind to travel and I indeed find myself safe within your arms.
