A tear fell on a page of random thoughts whispering to me
Fascinating songs in harmony made me their slave
I took the best of all that my eyes could see
Then watched the sunset burn
What I could not save

I plucked a crimson rose and changed its shade to blue
To flood my soul with words deeply sweet
Oh, how my heart leaped at each queue
Telling me, I had accomplished
My feat

I reached for  those stars shining brilliantly up above
Turning away from every smile, I met
Watched the weeds take over my garden of love
As tending to each flower
I did forget

Little pools now form on every page of random thoughts
Each line has slowly faded from my view
Those brilliant stars that I sought
Almost made me forget
My love for you

I now listen to the harmony of the songs that softly play
While holding to the best, which is thee
I smile back at every single face, met along my way
Swiftly removing every ****
From my garden
I can see

It has kindled all by the force of its immeasurable depth
Leaving friendly feet lathered with foam
Never losing a single breath
On the sandy beaches
Where it roams

You can hear it speak in the sound of crashing joy
A thousand thoughts rushing your way
Endurance so alive and beautiful
In an accent understood
As displayed

A voice, which woos winged creatures to dip and dive
Bravely leave their mother’s side
Traces of murmurs of harm
All leave their hearts
As they glide

What wonderful treasures lie beneath this force I see
All those secrets vehemently call out to be heard
Time stands still in my fast running day
As I am charmed by this voice
Crashing out to me

I thrill at the hope of time never passing away again
To always, behold these sights and sounds
My friendly feet lathered in the foam
Of this immeasurable force
I have found

Though I have found you within the walls, you arise
Checked with beauty full of bends and curves
Alone, you hold bright spaces
With the softest footsteps
Of great reserve

Who would have guessed that I would have found you
Emblazoned in all your infinite mystic light
Surrounded by a warm white mist
How hard your essence
Would be to fight

There for a while all was veiled in this warm white mist
Which flew in anew each day on the wind
I slept with feathers round my bed
Ignoring the burning bush
I defend

Now I sigh at the sight of your infinite mystic light
As the wind blows the mist aside
Though I have found you within the walls, I arise
To seek that from which
I hide

Each of us has a dream when kisses turn into a vision
Wrapped in mystery and graceful gentleness
We sit until we see more to be certain
That which we see
Is blameless

We linger on until we can see those lips we kiss
No matter where the sun may rise
Knowing not what really exists
When we look into
Their eyes

Enfolded into forgotten joy we behold the realms
Of what could or should happen or may not
Allowing our burdens to overwhelm
And soon our dreams
We have forgot

Our hearts are tender and can be easily confused
Oft times they walk within a fairytale
Yet if one is always anticipating a hurting bruise
True love never has a chance
To prevail

Will you run for the highest mountain, when all goes wrong
Roam unlit streets, like a roving lion
Or stand here by me and sing our song
Will you dry my tears
When I am crying

Will you hate me for all my faults and weaknesses
Let floods carry me where they may
Or bring to me your peacefulness
Hold me close
On my worst of days

Will you be that fiery dragon, who sets my heart aflame
Fiercely, burns my free spirit down
Or my noble knight, who returns honor to my name
Before another night  
Comes round

Will your feet wander where the winds may call
Leave me wondering, never knowing
Or will you catch me before I fall
‘Cause the same way
We are going

If you hear a cry of battle, will you run safely for the hills
When you see me raise up my spear
Or will you place in front of me your shield
Will you be my guide and my protector
Here, on Life’s Own Battlefield

Make haste upon the wind of your questions
Purge that glimmer of trust
Flattery, will get you nowhere fast
Once I confirm, you are not
One of us

Take a  safari on the icing of your own cake
Then cut me a slice or two
You can get overly sentimental, if you like
While I have your cake
And eat it too

Shut off the valve to your bleeding heart
No pity is needed here
I ride ******* on all my trials
Been roughing it
For years

Go ahead and apply your salve to all those wounds
You have been rubbing all that salt in
I wear a shield of aiming intention
That I call my tough
Thick skin

Time’s triumph is heard in the song of a feathered friend
Throughout the echo of a rocky cave
A willing voice celebrating the passing of pain
Resignation to the ending of love
Rejoicing, when love
Can be saved

Within our hearts, time’s triumph sings out in glory
Allaying crimson with a silken mesh of blue
Opening our eyes wide to its story
The strength of our spirit, endures on and on
As time echoes in the words
Of me and you

Lovely is the age when pride is no longer restless
When patience is learned within
One can look straight ahead without being anxious
Enjoy the pleasant fire burning
Within their hearts
Once again

A murmur is heard in the wind of that which is dearly prized
Reaching out to place a hand on your shoulder
Seeing your long journey in the look, you carry in your eyes
Proclaiming, yes, you have lived following your purpose
Yet, you must continue on
As you, grow older

Pleasures enter the years as sweet caresses
In a violin’s melodious strings
Had we but time enough to profess this
Oh, how our hearts
Would ever sing

I ask my aching heart to raise mine eyes
To see these pleasures here
To cease this weeping and my sighs
And to always hold
Them dear

I find my thoughts so often turned away
To sorrow instead of pleasure
When I forget the lovely sound that’s made
By each bar those strings will play
Trying to keep my life’s time
In perfect measure

Those pleasures can be held within your heart
With variations in their tune
Sweet caresses from you will never part
If those strings which grace
Your instrument
You remember to attune

Lonely brown leaves lie scattered round my door
While crickets chirped triumphantly
My entire mind suddenly slipped to the floor
As the wind blew those lonely leaves
Around the soul
Of me

The first sound I heard was overwhelming cares
Spreading to the face of a sun
Seeing great anguish flying through the air
Wondering where it ended
And how it had
All begun

I felt lost at sea in the depths of their crashing grief
Wishing change would prolong my breath
So I could blow life back into the lonely leaves
Return their green anew
Steal them away
From the face of death

A small smooth stone rendered motionless
Debated his place on Earth
With a brightly colored cluster of petals
Wasting their time
For what it was worth

That which cannot be understood stepped inside to rule
All of the unmistakable evidence
Within an absolutely empty space
Final result
Emptiness.........

A continuous period measured by all
Formed a mental picture within
While the small smooth stone never moved
Yet began his debate
Once again

The brightly colored cluster of petals moaned aloud
When the stone began again
Knowing their continuous period measured by all
Would just be wasted
There, on him

My heart knows you see the stars I paint in our sky
That you have given each one a name
No words do you ever have to speak of them
I can tell you know they are there
By the look I always see
In your eyes

You never have to tell me that you adore my moon
That sings out to your sun each day
My heart knows we both carry the same tune
And that you understand
All the things
I say

My heart knows you hear the sweet music I make
Even if I cannot hear you singing along
That you have memorized each and every take
Your heart is never off key
Because, you know
My song

All the stars that I paint in our sky shine for you
My heart shines the same
The sweet music I make you make with me too
When you give these stars
I paint in our sky
A name

Delicate nets collect on sailing clouds of violet mist
While red leaves twist and spin in turn
Gleaming sparks of dawn cannot be dismissed
As the scattered night sky
Is adjourned

Sweet water gathers in a dream’s own reflection
On a whirling spider’s silvery thread
Morning has broken needing no authentication
See her truth glowing there
In an intricate web

Tiny stones are surrounding sharp blades of grass
Worshiping the presence, they behold
Looking up from the shadows of a looking glass
With their own stories
Still untold

A leaping bass, splashes proudly in a silent pond
Each drop of water expressing its distress
Thinking that the sun was waiting to respond
To his shimmering silence
Used to impress

A single drop of water, a red leaf twisting in the wind
A spider weaving her web to be blessed
Even the tiny stones worshiping their friends
Leap with the bass, distressing the pond
To impress

Those breathings of the softest hours turn
On golden leaves that fall away
Your kisses upon my neck will still burn
When heaven’s stars meet
The light of day

Half-awake, I still stand a breath apart
Remembering a budding flower
Lovely angel wings flutter in my heart
Recalling those sweet
Love filled hours

Among the things moving the waves along
Are my tender visions of your hands
A gentle grace with moves so strong
My ebb and flow
At your command

A dove’s wings sweep across this flaming blush
Spreading like the rising sun
Upon a chest of happiness a burst of rush
Softly hints of an eternity
Of two becoming one

Who shall dare to quietly weep for yonder tree
While the sea sheds tears of salt
Dream of lands where one can safely flee
Containing shades of promise
They can exalt

Who shall look to high hills for precious treasure
As contentment lies beneath
Defying all of heaven’s sweetest pleasure
With every breath
They breathe

Who shall be the one who will stir and wake
The sun to see his gold
Shining upon the mountains and crystal lakes
To watch a delicate mist
Softly unfold

Who shall stop and listen to the weeping
Dry the tears of our sea
Show us where contentment lies in keeping
Stir and wake the sun
For you and me

My hungry eyes hide this one night solidly away
Low voices, repeat for you my story
Will this increase your happiness, or do I betray
All those tender pieces
Of your glory

With this pen of mine, I have the skill to show
The sweetest fruit from the vine
Paint you pictures of how my roses grow
Or let you taste the wrath here
From my bitter wine

My hungry heart hides a wind inside which blows
East to West and North to South
I may tell you which way it spins and goes
Or let you try
And figure it out

My hungry spirit hides a bird with mended wings
Low voices, repeat for you my story
Knowing all of this, as you hear her bravely sing
Does this increase your happiness
Or betray your glory

I sit here looking out at the rolling river like a child
On a moss covered stone
Knowing all the weeds in my garden
Are growing wild
Yet, I would rather sit here staring into space
Measuring endless time
All alone

Unspoken words and deeds continuously compound
As I sit here on this stone, quietly
Knowing that all the weeds in my garden
Make all my flowers frown
Still, I would rather sit here staring into space
Measuring endless time
Quite lazily

Duty bound, my mind reacts, tells me to go home
To stop wasting time sitting here  
On this moss covered stone
But the child in me does not care about the weeds
Growing wild in the garden
She still  wants to measure endless time
All alone

A brilliant star smiles brightly before quickly fading
From the love of heaven’s skies
You may capture the pulse of his brilliance fleeting
Stand in sorrow in the passing
Of a life you knew
Once thrived

You could bend your head in sorrow, grief and pain
Listening for the brush of angel wings
Wave goodbye to a parting friend you cannot detain
The saddest song you know
You could always
Softly sing

Or you could send the bravest smile of farewell
Hold close his memory
Close your eyes and let him always sail
Within your loving heart
Always smiling back
So brilliantly

*For Derek

Oh, to love a spirit that clings within my mind
Twines around my heart
Where all those lovely colors gently bind
Into sweet verses of magic
Which never part

This is the happiness I hold close within
Where  my best affections lie
A thousand joys softly race across my skin
When I look
Into your eyes

All my darkness crumbles away to naught
When you twine your colors here
Binding verses your heart has taught my own
To chase
Away my fears

Oh, how I love a spirit that clings within my mind
Softly weaves its magic here
Brings a thousand joys to race across my skin so fine
Makes my fears
All disappear

My road goes on turning and turning
Sunset and evening look for the day
I am wishing, for freedom from yearning
While pursuing
New horizons, anyway

I can become myself, not believing in fear
Each passing minute, I say to me
There are two kinds of surrender
One that will make you strong
Another makes you free

There is an unmindful moon dwelling in my sky
Unaware of the hope in my heart
I stand out in this cold and cry and cry
For ideas and beliefs I hold inside
From which I will not depart

When this world walked upon jagged rocks
It found the pain of change
I caught a falling star and softly knocked
While all of existence
Was rearranged

That old sun withdrew his rays for awhile
While visible reality disappeared
But soon, he rose and quickly smiled
Washed away
My tears

A certain wildness can still be found within a heart
When a new scent fills the air
A distinctive flicker of flame to restart
A smoldering ash
Lying there

A rising mist ascends from a pool thought run dry
Floating and flying in the air
Weaving intricate patterns to erase the shy
From within the heart
Beating there

A vanished voice is heard once again throughout
Now softly ringing crystal clear
Reigniting a certain wildness in a scented shout
Erasing all shyness
Waiting here

Tender footsteps dance into these waiting hollows
Sweetly kissing fire anew
Promising joy in all my tomorrows
Filled with the wonderful
Scent, of you

I see you shining there a translucent water drop
Suspended in animation
From the garden where I lay
I watch your silver glow, in total fascination
Moving to and fro
As within my heart, you play

I hear your tinkling laughter, rise above the trees
Softly lilting in my mind
Find myself within a soulful breeze
Your joyous laughter brings
As your joy and mine
Are combined

A quiet calm is set in motion, as you begin to fall
Enchantment ending in a silver splash
Yet, such joy you have brought into this thrall
Into the garden where I lay
Even though you fell
In a flash

Now I see you shining there upon my yearning soil
Suspended in animation
In the garden where I toil
I watch your silver glow, in total fascination
Moving to and fro
Quenching thirst, in adoration

Tracing shadows with the powerful hand of Fortuity  
Watering paper roses with tears
Inscribing verses with the sharpest knife
That cuts through the heart of me
Grieving, yet not daring
To show my fear

Sorrow’s quietly weeping and knows not why
Listening to murmuring voices
Speaking from eyes that smile and cry
Like flames in the wind
Burning ceaselessly
Without choices

Lending my being to all impressions I feel
Surrounding this spirit of mine
Standing open with a bleeding heart, which kneels
To the murmuring voices
Without choices
In kind

I know and treasure the love you hold for me
And my heart beats back to yours
How thrilling to peruse the pages of ecstasy
That your heart writes
And mine adores

I read living lines that pierce my waking heart
Upon each lovely page I see
Each word justly claims myself to be a part
Of you
As you are, of me

Because I know you love me unquestionably
And my heart beats back to yours
I continue reading these lines with glee
That your heart writes
And mine adores

Such powerful writing a heart can display
When a heart beats back in return
How thrilling to peruse these pages each day
Watch love growing
As they turn

Sweet warmth rains down after the dew of first light
Here with you, I am silently alone
The love which guided us all through our night
Allowed our sun to arrive
Quietly, unbeknown

Flickers of tenderness mesh with the drying of dew
On a story that is ending to soon
Yet, I smile in the knowing, again, I will hold you
Tonight, under the face
Of our moon

I slip softly to our window to drink in the rays
Feel your presence, next to my own
We smile in the sweet warmth felt in a new day
Yet cannot wait, for this light
To be gone

I chase the blazing sun on the wings of a gentle breeze
With my soul, freely open and unconfined
Listening to the rhythm of the harmony of trees
Singing songs of release
To all mankind

I am never fazed by rain that pours in torrents
When my skies are black as coal
No fear does flashes of lightening warrant
With this song I hear
Kept in my soul

I carry wisdom within my *****,  found as I chase
The blazing sun, on these gentle wings
Holding inside the rhythm of a trees embrace
In this melody
To you, I softly sing

No secrets do I hold inside of me, yet I cannot be held
I am yours and still I am my own
Chasing the blazing sun as I am so compelled
Returning always
To sing to you my song

Countless words are painted into eternal stars above
Inspiring my soul and waking me anew
With wondrous eyes, I see verses of sweet love
I learn them by heart
And paint them too

Words of dreams with visions rare, I see painted too
Twinkling from shadow dusted rays
Softly held within a precious lighted view
Calling to my tireless pen
Come and play

I view a canvas stretching into an endless sea
Completely full of mysteries unsolved
Faintly crying out to all this ink inside of me
To ponder all their puzzlement
Until they are resolved

Countless words are painted into eternal stars above
They greet my pen and paper every day
With a wondrous heart I smile back at them in love
Begin painting everything
I can see them say

Where is the place that love’s fiery heart is set aglow?
When touched by a lover’s presence
Is it the spot inflamed by the piercing of Cupid’s bow?
Burning with desire
And acceptance

Does love turn and burn while growing deeper here?
Releasing waves of inspiration
Creating a melody of sweet notes that softly linger
Weaving a tune that never
Ends to done

Is this the place where heavenly bliss is sensed?
From a lover’s sweet caress
Leaving one open with absolutely no defense
From the bubbling joy
Of effervesce

Our being is the place where love’s fire is set aglow
Love is the vein of our existence
Burning and turning inside releasing fire in our souls
Beautiful is acceptance
Without resistance

Misplaced in the listless silence of centuries
My heart cried out for thee
While the sun burned down, I sought out mysteries
Within the crashing waves
Of seas

Wave upon wave seemed amazingly lovely
Yet I did not feel your presence shine
As I watched each one rolling, I still cried for thee
Somehow knowing, each wave
Was not mine

I sighed into the listless silence where I remained
Misplaced for countless centuries
Growing weary of watching waves in vain
However my heart still
Cried out for thee

I looked up into the burning sun about to end my quest
Felt his glorious rays ignite my soul
My heart cried out in distress at all this listlessness
So tired of searching
For a wave to make me whole

Wide and wider still, my eyes began to open
As those rays burned into me
My quest ending in a blissful absorption
What I had sought all along
I could see

Chase the gloom that conceals my soul away
Those bits of mist that net my moon
So I will not hear their steps by my door each day
Singing me refrains
From their lonesome tune

Take me from the boundaries of day and night
So my pain will pass on to bliss
Lift the veil covering my soft moonlight
Sweetly chase my gloom away
With your kiss

Help me to see these pictures in my mind
Where I loved before as I do now
To remember logic is impossible in love to find
Only breaking the heart
Which continues asking how

Come pour your refreshing dew upon my brow
Sing refrains of music from your soul
Shield me from that which my gloom endows
Quiet this darkness deep inside  
Release me
From its hold

Chase the gloom that conceals my soul away
Free the light of my precious moon
Remove those boundaries of night and day
With the bliss of your kisses sweet refrain
Yesterday
Would not be too soon

I glimpse your eyes staring at the shadows in my soul
Seeking to calm the wildly rushing storm
Keeping my heart out of control
Unable to keep
The beat
Pulsating whole

I stare into eyes seeking to calm the storms
To make my heart their own
Leaving chambers once cold now warm
My heart begins to pulsate
To the beat
Of a song, it's always known

Buried longings softly rush, to be finally freed
From this heart out of control
Once a half now pulsates complete
Your eyes chase shadows
Calming storms,
My heart
Returns to whole

I shall bound triumphantly into a time to come
Drink of waters no other has ever tasted
A serene and silent seer
I shall then become
Into the aching hearts of men
With visions still unread

Brilliant stars will bloom, which once were faded
Sleeping souls retracing steps
Of a time before their skies were jaded
By those errors made in judgment
Stealing lives
Into a dark misstep

I shall then lie outside myself
And watch to see
Those aching hearts drinking waters I have tasted
A serene and silent seer I will remain and be
While sleeping souls regain the light
They thought once wasted

A captured breath among the ancient trees
Glowing in a perfect dream
From time and tide drifting upon your sea
In the dustless shadow
Of faint moonbeams

A fresh-bloomed rose, smiles at morning dew
Its thorns have yet to *****
The hands of time, which fairly flew
Sweetness unripe
To pick

Time and tide drifts upon the ancient seas
Rolling in a perfect dream
Capturing breaths from unplanted seeds
Before becoming
As they seem

The fresh-bloomed rose a thorn reveals
Within the perfect dream
Yet time and tide drifts into quickly heal
A captured breath
Is now redeemed

Scattering sweet fragrance throughout soft air
Perfection at heaven’s finest
Remembrance paints one soul a flare
Calmly soothing
My unrest

Despite all the changes time has made
Sweet fragrance sings to me
In all my dreams a pleasing promenade
Evokes a kiss of
Fragrant potpourri

A medley dances within my senses fine
Of sweet nights with you
Scattering fragrance throughout my mind
Painting my soul
Anew

This sweet fragrance has no beginning
Each kiss begins endlessly
Dances within my senses softly awakening
This fire inside
So heavenly

Unchangeable is the love within our souls
Dreaming of soft timelessness
Perceived in fadeless hues of red and gold
Transmuted from molded clay
Imperfect, yet still beheld
As flawless

White shadows of a misted lace attention holds
An honesty in its purest form
Washed in fadeless hues of red and gold
Unchangeable is the love within
Completed souls
As timelessness transforms

Until now, our feet have trod a different path
Yet seeking still the same
Imperfection, with an honest aftermath
Time has taken wing in fadeless hues of red and gold
Imperfection beheld as flawless
Is the element it became

Filling and fading with a soft caress
My playmate by the deep
Our memories diminish into effervesce
Held upon the sands of time
They keep

We bind and softly lay them all along
Like small sparks of fire
Yet out of the mist they are burning strong
As our soul’s  
Deepest desires

The dusk of evening, breaks into light
Filling with a soft caress
Memories are found through clouds of night
In the surging foam
Of effervesce

Those sands of time will unbind the fires
My playmate by the deep
Found in our soul’s deepest desires
The smallest spark
Will keep

Consideration took into account
Conditions to be deliberated
Planning in advance
Kept a count

Their intentions set in mind
Way ahead of time
If compassion, were to be
Handed out

Sympathy checked in with feelings
Seeking out the strongest surge
While sorrow and misfortune began reeling
Within an
Empathetic urge

Frightened panic cried out in dismay
At sympathies fearlessness
While unkind words unmercifully
Shook the day

Crimson fades away into a sensation of touch
As silence reigns admissibly
Courage stakes a privileged claim insomuch
To become known as chivalry

Existence of noble-spiritedness speaks of gentle blue
Drifting in on courtesy divine
Magnificent to behold, never given quite its due
Delicious as a fruit
Upon a vine

Majestic is the profile of chivalrous comportment
Daring held within a gentle sign
A quietness that speaks to hush the detriment
Stirring among the crimson
In my mind

Crimson fades away, hushed by your presence
Upon your gentle blue I feed
Your gracious strength completes my essence
Silently you consume
All crimson shades
In me

You could paint a picture
In your mind
Of the twelfth of Never
Hold those roses
In your hand
Now, until forever

Ask….yourself, who’s to blame
Then kiss
Our love….goodbye

What do you see, when you look
At your pretty painting?
Do smiles or tears
Echo…
In your mind?

Then paint a picture in your mind
Of the first day of Forever
Put down those roses
Place your hand
In mine

Ask…yourself, with no shame
If you want to kiss
Our love…...goodbye

I will tell you what I see
When I look
At your pretty painting
I see forever
Staring, back at me

I can only hear the sweet echoing
Of the love I see there
In your eyes
I don’t wish to ever leave your side
Or kiss
Our love…...goodbye

Darkness had fallen over as the minutes crawled
Far down the road to belief
Standing on a small covered porch I saw
His painful lines of strain
Turn into relief

A handful might have suspected, turned on all the lights
Seen the streak of dirt on his forehead
How his eyes happened to seek out the night
Real fear shot through my breast
Then quickly spread

I knew if I tried to stop him, said a single word at all
No one else could see his fraying edge
They turned away from the vision, but I can recall
Something hauntingly familiar
Crying from a ledge

Air burned into my lungs as I gasped for breath
A silent scream struggled within
Darkness had fallen over spilling into death
The road to belief was drawn closer
As I remembered then

His eyes, happened to seek me out the night
He pushed me over the ledge
Now he has returned to turn off all my lights
And no one suspects
His fraying edge

*Happy Halloween

I found hidden passages and crept inside to see
Secrets held underneath golden wings
Ultrasonic waves drifted inexplicably into me
My blinded eyes were opened
As my ears began
To ring

I saw faces unknown to anyone within my bounds
With thunderbolts in their eyes
Chanting words of wisdom, I thought unfound
Commanding all of my attention
As their lightening
Made me sigh

I shook my head in disbelief, as tears began to fall
Upon a face, I thought I knew as mine
Denial shook my soul as wisdom was installed
Every feature of my face
I could no longer
See to be defined

My curiosity has taken me to this hidden place
Beyond, my depth of belief
I stand with confusion written on a face
Unrecognizable as my own
From which
I cannot find relief

I held the music down with everything I had
Tried to contain it in my soul
Still those notes wandered out winding round
Every piece of me
They could hold

Tried hard not to listen to that which I love
Walked down a path, new to me
Still my first love, I kept, within my heart so dear
To my roots, I held on
Helplessly

I cannot hold the music down, no matter how I try
Music,  is in the soul of me
My very essence is controlled by a melody
I sing, each time
I breathe

Lyrical expression flows through my veins
Music dances in my poetry
Harmony will be found one day when I sing
The words, I write
And breathe

Misty moonlight falls on dancing waters
Shimmers as it plays
Lights the fall of a gauntlet’s challenge
Called the sunrise
Of the day

Straining beams of iridescence quietly appear
Changing in a glow
Accumulating dust from a starlight’s sphere
A brilliant sparkling
From long ago

A splash of velvet is the midnight sky
Cradling our moon
Softly singing the sweetest lullaby
Knowing the challenge
Is ending soon

Streaks of crimson, fiery red appear
Across the velveteen
The moonlight's dancing end is near
As the sun again
Is seen

I stopped for a moment and looked into your eyes
My heart stopped, completely
As I realized
You love me, you love me
You do

All of this time, I have been searching, searching
But where?
I stopped for a moment and looked in your eyes
All that I needed
Was there

My heart  was stopped completely, by only one glance
My search, had ended right there
When I saw the love  in the light of your stare
My search, found its last dance

I  only stopped for a moment, to look in your eyes
When my heart stopped, completely
As I realized
You love me,  you love me
You do

In my dreams, I hold you close
Kiss your lips, forevermore
You are mine, for eternity
In my dreams
You, never leave

In my dreams, the world is light
The sun comes up
There is no night

We dance until
We can no more
Holding on
Forevermore

In my dreams, I hold you close
Never looking at the door
You are mine, for eternity
‘Cause, in my dreams
You, never leave

Now I could dream forevermore
Never walking out my door
Hold you close
To me once more
But I don’t believe
That is what love’s for

I think I’ll sleep and dream of you
Hold you there
When I want to
When I’m awake, I will think of you
Until I can hold you
With you knowing too

I had a dream last night
You, my love were there
We walked along the shoreline
The wind blew through our hair

We walked hand in hand
Collecting shells
And watching the ocean's beauty deep
We pledged our love forever
A promise
We planned to keep

We built castles in the sand
Fortresses we thought would hold
Our defense against the world
To keep our love from growing cold

We took the lovely shells we found
And placed them one by one
Around the walls of our castle grounds
To show our love
To everyone

As we looked upon the beauty
Of what we two had built
The tide rushed in and took it all
And left us standing there in guilt

My love
Let's let this dream of mine
Be a lesson learned
A strong foundation
Built on solid ground
Will lasting love
Forever earn

Echoes fall like raindrops on leaves of lonesome trees
Whispering to the heartless
Come and listen and you will hear their sound
Calling softly
To the darkness

A rustling in the underbrush stirs an unknown need
Curiosity feeds upon the now
The crescent moon is waiting for eyes yet to see
Wondrous visions
He will soon endow

Wheels begin to turn in the mind of the present
Defying the light and the sound
Though their ears hear the echoes, still is the absence
Of the hearts recognition
Of the found
