A beloved fairy tale, to you, I write princess.

I love the way you dance and kiss with me,
You're all I need to make my life right.
Always dancing under skies filled with wishes.

You are my sanctuary, my hope.
Wrapping your Angel wings around me,
sheltering me from the cold and icy world,

My princess,
Seeing your shining light,
fills my days with wondrous bright dreams.

Hear the words, I love you, my beautiful Angel,
as I search the heavens and my hopes for your
Soul, every night.

Thank you for your gift
filled with memories of a fairy-tale dream,
that came true.

I think my only fear is waking up from a dream,

Why is today's sky so bright and blue?
I can not see you;

Thinking of you,
So far away,
Standing alone;

Looking out at the blue,
Ocean waves,

The promises that have passed through time between us,
I have not forgotten,

I'm always pretending,
You are standing by my side,
Talking to me;

Telling me the direction we should look,
While we walk alone on the beach,
With ocean waves caressing our feet,

My heart wishes for the day,
The promises we made, we will keep.

My beautiful goddess,
Your seductive magic casts a spell upon me;
I can't see beyond your eyes.

Seeing in you a blue sky,
You shine as bright as sunrise,
Rising above two lovers,
Who, danced all night under satin sheets.

Your curved lips,
Just can't disguise their soft surprise.

Drinking wine on Sundays,
Lunch in bed.

Daydreaming of me and you, traveling east through times past;

My mind leads me to follow,
A glorious vision,
A glimmering Soul that mirrors the sparkle,
Of a sunrise in her eyes.

Love Alone Again

Dreamless nights over and over,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't remember your beautiful tears.

I want to hold you again,
And wipe away the sadness,
Because I still love you.

My heart aches, with forgetfulness,
Because you're not here,
It's been too many years since the Angels carried you home.

No matter how hard I try,
I can not find anybody else,
To lift up and love,

I'm always told,
It's time to say goodbye. 


Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Here I am from a far off place,
Looking at your reflections in my dreams,

Looking at you through snowy cherry blossom trees,
Seeing your bright, happy face,
From a distant time and place,

Listening to you cheerful songs,
I see a smiling princess,

I miss you when I'm awake,
I wish for you every day,

My love for you will never end,

My only love,
Do you wish for me too?
Do you see me standing beside you?

I think of you every day,
That I am holding on tight to your hand,
I want to keep you close to my heart,

I think of you every day,
I will wish for you for eternity.

Alone, rivers have flooded,
Raining tears,
All these years.

Days of memories
of her and me,
dreaming of days to come,

I had found my true love,
Only for her to be taken from me,
There were no goodbyes only cries,

Only my dreams of her remain,
With us walking together along the streams of life,
Planting fig trees.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

The long night has come again,
A ticking clock,
Following the hands to chase a dream,
Far across an ocean, how can I see?

With Lost memories found,
With empty hands never meeting,
With an empty heart,
Lost my way, somehow,

Thoughts of flying through times past,
Thoughts of being forgotten,
Thoughts of never seeing or touching you again,
Thoughts of being with you forever, racing through my mind,

Can't sleep,

I'm a fool trying to look for you,
I will never see you,

A long time now,
Saying your name every day,
Thinking of ways we can come together,

Even for only one night of passion,
To say those words, "I love you."
And to hear those words, those words, "I love you too."

Standing on a lonely hilltop,
Looking at dusk of an old day,
Imprisoned in thought.

Night skies filled with starry visions,
Lights are shining from distant times.
Messengers are traveling through distant space.

Mind-wandering!

Hoping this lonesome night,
I catch dreams of you and me,
Wrapped together in wings of white.

Ambassadors from the stars,
Carrying memories to me from you,
Melting, my cold heart.

Freeing me,
From loneliness each night,
Until the scornful dawn each new day!

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I always hear your laughter in the breeze,
While I walk along,
The lonely country roads.

On cold autumn mornings,
I still look for you,
As I did those many years ago.

When you chased away,
My loneliness,
With your whispering smiles.

I loved you so much back then,
I love you so much today.

When I feel a warm breeze,
Touching my cheek,
I turn to see;

If that's, you walking,
The road of life,
With me.

Beneath a darkened sun,
A man stands on a hilltop looking for his dream,
His heart wondering, where she is?

All his life he stood under a rainy sky,
Looking for her,
In every dream, he sings,

My princess, my queen,
I love you.
Where are you?

Under a brighter blue sky,
A man kneels in a field of daisies,
Holding a white rose and silver ring,

Singing to his queen,
You are more beautiful than anything,

I love you,
Will you take this ring and marry me?

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Serious, but can this be only a dream?
Lost my way,
Traveling to another country, far to the East,

Tired when awake,
Dreams brighten my nights,
Flying above oceans and seas,

I see giant ships, like turtles floating in a ****** red mist,
Graves behind a rippling mirror,
Of heroes and villains thousands of years past,

Alone! And in a prison heroes are,
Until called upon,
To defend a country, against overwhelming odds.

"Your Highness, I still have twelve battleships."
-Admiral Yi Sun-sin

I've stopped at this place,
Afraid to return to the past,

So much sadness, so much love,
Unable to show,

True love is like a cold drink of water,
From a desert oasis,

We've walked this path to fast,

Embraced your Soul,
But never truly loved,

It's too late,
We can not turn back time,
To truly love once again,

Can't look anymore,
Can't hide my wounded heart,

The sun still rises in this barren place,
Parting Sorrow and love from my Soul,

Heaven says;
Don't look to the past anymore,
Don't cry anymore,

People pass through barren deserts, for only a short time,
With little love to drink,

True love can not be borrowed or stolen,

True love is like patiently looking for and finding an oasis,
And sharing a drink of cool water from the same cup,
In the steamy desert sun.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I'm on this side,
You're on the other,

Dreams of life and love rush by,

You are my beginning,
You are my ending.

I dream of you and wander through life,
Searching ways to touch you,

I lost my way,
I remember you clearly,

Asking for blessings,
Please, God, show me the way on life's journey,
To walk together with love once again.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Like blue ice in August,
Blue roses glowing in the moonlight,

Always look twice at,
Such impossible beauty.

Like two old friends walking on an empty street,
A full moon shining,
Having no words to say, tears falling like cold rain,

Until, both turn to each other,
Looking twice into each other's eyes,
Saying, I love you.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

After the long quiet night is over,
My life in a distant land with my lover comes to an end.
My dream love, stolen away by dawn,

How can I endure,
these heartbroken days?
No words to say, but I miss you.

Walking past strangers in the rain,
Rain is hiding my tears.

On cold days,
my love cries for you,

On blue sky days, memories, of you and me,
walking along a sandy beach,
fill my heart, with our joyous days.

At sunsets, my Soul aches to return to you.

Seeing the first snow,
With each flake falling,
A warm memory from my sweet Angel melts my heart.

Brushing the snow from her hair,
Kissing the lonely crystal on her nose,
Ice crystals are sparkling on her lips.

Holding her in my arms,
Warming our Souls,
Never being cold in life.

The snow covering the world in white,
Brings back memories of you,
My beautiful Angel in Heaven, dressed in white.

I love you.

Traveling, the long dark roads
every long night,
to faraway memories…

Looking for the woman,
I adore, lives in
distant thoughts…

Seeking her Soul,
looking up,
at the heavens,

Asking her with words,
from deep within my heart
to come to earth from paradise,

"Please, spend a loving night with me, my Angel."

Opening up my Soul,

Asking her; the love I miss so very much.
Please end my pain, wrap your wings around me,
and bring my Soul home, with the magic of your love and beauty.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Today, I saw the most beautiful Eastern sky,
That chased my sorrows away,

Turning around all I see is you,
Your love knows no bounds,
An Angel flying among the clouds,

I'm afraid the clouds will scatter and fly away,

I see you in my eyes,
Your cotton clouds warming my Soul,

In my eyes, I only look to you my Sunshine,

My Soul wishes to fly away with you,
Until the end of time,
My heart cries out, "I love you. Please don't go."

Your love is what I depend on,
To wash away the lonely dust.

Walking through a pine forest,
A fresh wind showing me the way,
Times past, so long ago.

Dreams beyond the bounds of time,
Guiding my way today,
Old friends so far away, so long ago.

Am I just dreaming?
Waking up together on a bright summer morning with my wife,
Talking about dreams, as we walk holding hands to the edge of a rippling pond.
How many children will we have?

Kissing under a full moon on a warm summer night.
We were both, enjoying the magic,
These days and nights of dreams from another time,
Another place,
Guiding me, through my lonely days.

Am I only dreaming?
Waking up on a bright summer morning alone,
Looking for her in the bright daylight,

She has gone home, To a place,
Beyond the bounds of time,
Where I can only follow her, in my dreams.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

In the darkness,  before Dawn alone,

Standing high, Looking far to the East,
Seeing a night sky filled with stars,
Dreaming about you,

Looking into an immense blackness,
Dotted with cosmic explosions, like flickering candles,
In darkened windows,

A bright star appears like a torch placed on a windowsill,
As if put there, too,
Guide me out of the darkness of life,

Listening, I hear the easterly wind singing,
Follow the brightest light in the sky,
Come back home to me,

For at the end of this long journey,
Guided by starlight,

You will see an Angel with a bright Halo,
That shines brighter than any star,
That warms your Soul more than any candle,

With her divine voice,
She will lead you out of darkness into the light.

I remember a time;

When, days grew longer,

When winter has returned to fight its final battle with summer,

When, hot and cold winds touched my face,
They gave me chills wondering if winter would lose the battle,

When the site of budding cherry blossoms. Touched my eyes,
And warmed my heart.

I remember a place;

Standing in a park of flowers by a lake, like a fairytale,

Looking at a mirror,
With thousands of flowers,
A beautiful sunset,
Seeing stars of cherry blossoms sparkling, in a mirror of waves.

I remember a dream,
Standing in this place in the spring.

True love,
It's impossible to stay,
Life goes away,

You and I,
Destiney missed,
Angels singing Heaven's Lullaby,

My sweetheart,
Time for loneliness,
Time to say goodbye.

Sadness comes,

Goodnight my Angel,
Sweet dreams my love.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Across the vast ocean of space and time,
In a dream of my home,
From so very long ago.

Unforgettable memories flash before my Soul,
Afraid, many times thinking,
I will forget you.

Still, with eyes wide open,
I see you in the Eastern sky at dawn,
Unable to forget a dream.

Memories of you,
Like vivid paintings,
Of cherry blossoms floating on a silver mirrored pond,

Looking at the paintings,
Unable to dry the tears,


Still,


I endure this life because of you,

An unforgettable dream.



Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Tonight, I dream of her cherry red lips,
Her Cougar-eyes shining in the night.

Wrapped around each other, so tight!
In reflections of love and beating music.
Wishing for a sip of love, from her persimmon lips.

Adorned with white silk.

An exquisite Angel,
Wraps her wings around me,
Smothering my Soul, with eternal love.

I press my lips upon her neck,
Tasting the heartbeat of a loving Soul,
Wrapped in each other's, Spirits, never letting go.

Love chimes cry loudly,
As we hold, each other.
Once again in our dreams;

Our Souls never separated by life and death.

My dreams guide me across the bridge of Lonely Souls,
To my lost love, a Heaven's Soul.


Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I know that she isn't real,
That she is only a dream,
Only a fantasy I see after midnight, a lover I will never touch in reality,
Still, she is the memory of love I look for in the daylight.

Embracing me in my sleep,
Holding me so tight, I can't breathe; wishing she would never go,
A beauty that leaves me lonely with only her reflections,
At sun's dawning, each day,

Quietly waking up,
Without love for so very long,
Looking out an open window,
Seeing an empty hateful world,

Every heartbeat throbbing, with pain,
Sorrowful days, wanting night to come again, to be with her forever,
Thinking of ways, to end this agony,
And hoping night will never end.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Lately, I found myself dreaming.
I've been dreaming about you a lot,
And up in my head, I'm your dream too,
But that's one thing you've already got.
You've got me!

You're Pure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning my head whenever I see you again,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough. You're beautiful,

Angel, you're halo lights up my world like nobody else,
The way that you walk through my life gets me overwhelmed,
I can't think of anything else,
But when I look at you lying alone in bed it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,

Oh, oh,
You don't know you're pure,
If only you could see with my eyes, what I see laying in front of me,
I see an Angel dreaming before me,
You'd understand why I want to dream of you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you, and I can't believe,
You don't know my feelings for you,

Oh, oh,
You don't know you're pretty as a white rose after a warm spring rain,

Oh, oh,
That's what makes you a sparkling Soul,

I've tried playing it cool,
But when I'm looking at you,
I can only be blissful,
'Cause you make my heart feel love.

It seems like I'm constantly dreaming,
'Cause I can't compete with your dreams.

Another lost fall,
With memories of my lost lifetime falling away,
Like bitter multicolored tears,
Falling from trees, turning into dust.

One fall closer to the end,
Wondering through these cold days,
Dreaming of you, on the other side of time,
Above the dark clouds of this lost lifetime.

To find you my lost love,
I fly above this glacial sea,
Uncertain where,
Fate is taking me.

Hoping my Destiny,
Is with your love,
And cherry blossom leaves,
Falling in the springtime.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

As time passed by,
Away the hurtful memories did fly,

I look and look,
You have vanished from my dreams.

Romance dies only as love's flame grows dim,
Everything seems just cold, cold, cold again.

Everything dies...

Four decades past,
God took my one and only wife,
Back home,

The only woman I will ever love,
Forty years of memories,
That could have been,

Memories that never were made,
Children never born,
Scorned God for many years,

Until that day,
Heaven's door opened to me,
On that August day,

When I saw my bride in front of me,
Telling me to look far to the East
You will see Angels' Sarah and Tiffany,
That will guide you to an Angel named Evelyne,

Listen to your Angels,
Never give up,
You are needed on Earth,

Your future is far to the East,
To a beautiful place,
An amazing place of beauty, music and respect,
A place you will love,

On your way back to Heaven and me.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Hello, my future,

Nice to hear from you again,

Tomorrow, I'll carry my heart home to you,

Our hearts will never be apart again,

My days covered with dark clouds, smothering me with pouring tears,

Will end,

Hello, my future,
Nice to see you today, In the bright sunshine,
So quiet,  As I step off the plane,
It feels like the Universe has stopped time,
No one is saying a word,

Kneeling down I touch my Seoul,
Forgetting my memories of being alone.

Copyright 2015 © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Escaping this time,
Leaving this world,
Every night,

My dreams hold the key,
To unlock the door,
Covered in fallen tears,

On the other side,
A Soul sleeps alone.

If I can only hold her tightly,
Once again.

Falling asleep together on a soft bed,
Looking into each other's eyes,
With a sweet, loving lullaby playing,

The two of us never lonely ever again,
Hearing the words from her lips,
I missed you; I love you.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I don't understand.
Why did you have to go?
All I can do is dream about you.

I see your silhouette,
On my nightstand,
It makes me remember;

You and I, kissing on that warm summer night.

Lying here in bed,
Only hearing  your voice in,
The sound of the whispering wind.

Where are you now?
We never said goodbye on that hot June night,
Are you saying hello to me at every sunrise?

I don't understand,
I still listen for your sweet words,
Just one time, I want to hear you say,

Goodbye, my love.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

When you're tired, feeling bitter,
Dark clouds above you,

When raindrops are flowing down your cheeks, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
I'm standing beside you,

When times get bitter,
And friends just can't be found,
You can lay your head down on my chest,
Without saying a word,

Forget about the past,
Forget about the rest,

Fly on home blue girl,
Fly on by.
Fly high into the sky,

Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
Look into the sky,
See how they shine.

If you need a friend,
I'll shine right behind,
Like a warm touch of sunshine,

I will ease your pain,
I will ease your mind,
I will ease your sadness...

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

At sunrise,
Opening my morning eyes,

Turning to look around,
Seeing an empty room,
Where are you?

Seeing cloudy sunrise skies,
Hearing ocean waves,
Missing you,

No more rainbows,
Only shining dreams from my past,
That I try to hold onto,

I still pretend,
You're still here by writing love letters
Mailed to you in my dreams.

But memories fade away,
Like bright rainbows, after the rain,

Leaving me,
With only blue skies,
But no you.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A black velvet starry sky,
Hiding my eyes, filled with Jealousy
Stole my thoughts of you away.

Was it all a lie?
That dragged me,
Far away from you.

After all, has been said,
Memories still linger.
Broken hearts remembered.

Jealousy grabbed hold of me,
And pulled our Souls apart.
Was it all a lie?

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

As I stand in front of you,
Looking at a beautiful view,

Your silhouette seems so familiar to me,
Looking at a Miracle in front of me,

Closing my eyes,
I think, is this but only a dream?

I have misty memories of you,
From so very long ago,

Everything feels very familiar,
I missed many chances to be with you,
I let them just pass by,

I was afraid the red thread, that connected,
our hearts broke and let me go,

I felt lost in this life,
Until other Souls brought me
Back home to you,

I have nothing to give up but my life for you,
I don't want to be lost again,

While wiping away my tears from my eyes,
I am happy; to be back home.

Copyright 2015 © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I keep reading your love letters in my dreams,
Always wake up feeling lost; even on sunny days,
Remembering you flying away on Angel wings; Sadness came.

Every night they remind me of the good times,
Remembering dancing on a sandy beach, under palm trees,
You and I are swimming together in the warm ocean surf.

Never worrying about our future,
The love you gave me,
Lifted me up away from my pain,

Dreams every night;
Carrying your love deep in my heart in these lonely times,
Memories of loving you are gifts I will never let go.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Listening to the magpie sing,
Hoping she brings me a lucky day,

I watch the sunrise in your eyes,
I watch cherry blossoms bloom,
As they say hello to Spring,

I look at you my Dream,
Wondering?

Why, loving you is as impossible,
As fixing a broken heart?

My Dream,
You are the last poem,
I will never finish writing.

Copyright 2015 © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Spending all these years alone,
Many dawns have passed,
With only a cup of tea to love,

Sunny days have gone by, too fast,
Rainy days seem so very long,

Spending all these years alone,
Too many setting suns have gone past,

Things I remember;
Holding hands, walking along the lake, dancing until sunrise,
Reading stories to each other and laughing,
The smile that brightened my dawn every day...

Things I still love;
Your photograph, your blue eyes, your roses,
My memories of you.

You're always in my dreams to love, standing in front of me,
Asking me to come and see wondrous things,

Every sunrise we say goodnight,
Loneliness calls to me,

In my heart,
Your memories will always stay,
In my dreams,
I will see you again,

Spending all these years alone,
A lifetime has passed,
A lake of tears has fallen,

My life long friends do not understand,
Why is there still pain, after so many suns have past?

If you ever see True Love pass,
Then you would know.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

You appear to me, in my dreams,
You vanish every morning,
Without a saying a word,

You live in my words,

You visit me, in my dreams,
Bringing me, gifts,
Of beauty and love,
I can't resist,

You vanish every morning,
Without saying a word,
Leaving me lonely and cold,

Still,
Thoughts of you remain in my heart,
And in these words, 

I write to you.


Copyright 2015 © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Finding that memory,
A memory misplaced in space and time,
Only a memory that a cold winter wind can bring.

Is like finding a ring of diamonds and gold,
In a white veil of snow,
So breathtaking, sends chills down my spine.

Feelings inside me, rise up from my Soul,
Love beyond space and time can never end.

Growing old alone is cold, my friend.

I breathe poems for you out of thin air,
From impossible dreams, come impossible words.

Who's arms are holding you now?

If I truly loved you,
I will smile at finding a memory,
Made out of diamonds and gold. 


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Glass Shattering

Glass shattering into a million pieces,
No matter what I do,
A glass of wine can not erase you from my life.

I find memories of you reflected in every bottle,
Happiness no longer exists,
How others see me, I don't care,

Life has betrayed me,
Lost my love,
Love no longer exists in this broken life,

Looking for one reason,
To live on without you,

To find one who I care about,
Other than you, is,
An impossible thing to do.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Three things I wish for,
I will never be able to touch,
In my lifetime,

My love in Heaven whose Soul I miss the most,
I will not hold again,
Until my life ends,

My love here on earth who lives in a distant land,
Across a vast ocean who I respect and honor, every day.
She is the dream I hold dear in my arms each night and the princess,
Who I have the honor to speak to every day.

My love for a place they call a miracle,
That I wish to kneel down and touch part of Seoul,
And feel her spirit flow through my fingers, a beautiful place.

My three impossible loves,
I pray to have and to hold in my arms
Every day and dream of every night.

Standing in our past,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,

Watching cherry blossoms,
Crying in the Moonlight,

Waiting for the pink bloom,
Of Sunrise,

Very overwhelming!
Are, My thoughts of you;

Thoughts of moonlight shining brightly,
In your dark eyes,
Thoughts of wavy hair, blowing in a cool spring breeze,
Lips so sweet, like cherries,

Reflections from forever lovers,
Ripple beneath our feet,  
Flowing across time and space,

Tears of happiness fall,

As we stand here,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,
Holding on tightly,

Making wishes,
And seeing glimpses of eternity.

Could it be possible,
Love is true,
On a cold December day?

Without flowers blooming,
Can't tell if impossible love, is true.
0
Flowers are sleeping,
Waiting for our hearts; to see spring.

Cold, lonely winds blowing me towards you,
Dawn is taking forever to come.
Spending these unpleasant winters without love,
Are so long.

Yet!
On a sunny day in December,
Snow falls upon your bright smile,

As you look at me,
I see a sparkling Angel smiling at me.

Warming my Soul,
On a cold winter’s day.
