How many times…
I’ve run out of fingers and toes

~

Everything

It's...
**** I forgot what I was going to write

Silent are the dreams we share
When night comes crawling up the stair
And slumber whispers on the air
Of you that I adore
~
Wrapped in your warm embrace
As our fingers interlace
Take me to your imaginary place
You make my heart soar
~
Scenes that form within the night
Hold me close and hold me tight
Beauty captures endless sight
When it is you I see
~
Show me the way to your heart
For it is a work of art
Promise me we’ll never part
Because you're only allowed for me
~
For now alone these dreams I know
That I shall never let you go
Beneath these stars of heaven’s glow
Forever there to keep
~
As the night draws to an end
ending the song we have penned
I now recommend
We lie in each other's arms and sleep*
~

I offered you my love
but you took my smile

We were meant to be,
but you didn't mean it

~

A tedious time at security
An hour waiting to board
A long tiring flight
A middle seat
A tiny bag of peanuts
A luke warm beer
A bumpy landing
An unfamiliar airport
A beautiful face waiting to greet me
And my head is once again in the clouds

~

Nothing is easy, we know that to be
Look at the distance between you and me
Still I will dream as the sun shines above
*Forever hoping we're always in love

Our love was a highway,
you took the first exit

If I breathe this air,
then this air is you

My reflection…
All I long to see
in your eyes

Always above par,
so she ended up with a Bogie

~

Sun filled skies ignite the trees in colorful array
Of falling leaves and scented pine, November on display
The beauty that does meet our eyes so comforts all we see
A Sunday drive, uncharted roads, together you and me

A softer breeze we shall not feel, the wind about our hair
On journeys off to anywhere the two of us shall share
Scenery of heaven sent down every road we drive
Your hand in mine, a favorite song, so glad that we’re alive

Majestic oaks, their leaves of gold, create our solitude
So many years their world has been amongst the harvest moons
Blue sky dreams and dragonflies, the magic that we find
Pumpkin patches line the country streets on which we wind

Love is our companion, constant, everywhere we go
Precious is the feeling as we take in nature’s show
On this early morning as the world does seem to shine
Enjoying every moment with a true love that is mine

There, a happy flock of geese upon a lake they play
Let’s get out and walk a while, take in the wondrous day
Along a path, we stroll the edge, the splendor of it all
Listen as we hear the geese, their early morning call

An autumn day, the sun is bright and you are here with me
Nothing in the scene can show more beauty than I see
When I look into your eyes reflecting skies above
And feel the happiness they bring by showing me your love

We were meant to be right here, wherever this may be
Hand in hand in nature’s home, a feeling oh so free
Or anywhere that we may roam, whatever day does start
For destiny is in control and you are in my heart

Always

~

My heart forever blooms
within the fragrance*
of your rose petal smile
~
As I wander in your beauty,
where love surrenders
to each glorious sunrise
and butterflies dance
among the cool shade
caressing the ground,
~
I know this is where
I want to be ~
*always

My heart
and
your promise…
why must you break both?

Why is it dark,
has the sun abandoned me too?

It's hot here in Texas,  
but even hotter up north.

:)

You once called me baby,
now you call me…maybe

Dreams ~ Memories ~ Imagination ~ Poetry

~
I find that dreams are painted
on the inside of our minds
Watercolor images
of what we come to find

Flowing on the breezes
as they whisper softly low
Sending forth a message
of things we're soon to know
~
Memories are fashioned
of a once remembered place
Sewn together neatly
on the edges that we trace

Photographic visions
held so tight behind the wall
Waiting for the moment
that our hearts begin to call
~
Imagination flourishes
with nothing much to see
Scenes that we now conjure up
of where we long to be

Dancing on the avenue
with stars up in the sky
Even when it’s cloudy
we can see them wander by
~
Poetry brings feelings
standing sweetly now as one
Wrapped in tiny packages
these verses filled with fun

Tied together neatly
of the thoughts we’re thinking of
Colored paper stanzas
with a bow on top of love
~
So as you read this poem
think of memories you’ve seen
Use your imagination
to create the perfect dream

And hopefully you’re finding
that all of this is true
For these four words I write about
are all inside of you
~

When sad, I’m usually not me…
this time I am

A butterfly landed on my shoulder
and I smiled
Then it flew away...
it was the last time I smiled

Thought I was someone else,
but it was only me

If I could find a way
to turn the hands
of time
I’d pick you up,
yesterday
to see what we could find

Perhaps a scenic setting
a nice secluded beach
Sandy shores,
tropical,
if this
your mind would ease

Stepping through a portal
looking in reverse,
penning something
quickly
in the form
of verse

Over-pack your luggage,
forward all your mail
You will find
an island waits…
together
we will sail

And if I find a way
to give the clock a spin
I’ll set it back,
by just a day,
we’ll do it all
again

~

Love may be blind,
but I love looking at you

Please let me plant the seed
so it may grow

I find my favorite time of the day...is you

Your friendship,
without, I am me,
with, I am everything

~

“Let me take from this, your kiss, the taste of you my lips shall miss”

So long since I held you
X’s on the calendar days…pattern’d of my missing
Promises made on long distant lines
and letters sent, penned of love’s smiles on sleepless nights

“My heart it finds the lonely view of all my days away from you”

Loneliness the common as passing time mounts,
your kiss my mind imagines in the haze of life
Duty calls, yet my heart is not in it,
for on that day I released it to you

“While on this journey’s winding path my love held in a photograph”

Sepia dreams in brilliant colors,
to hold that goodbye kiss in my hands,
lingering in my tear splashed eyes…
I hold my breath until the time

*“When once again of destined charms, I hold you tightly in my arms”
