Whispers Lost

Filled with emotions,
Empty of words,
It seems like time stands still
Every time you are gone.

No matter how hard I try,
Every thought and
Every moment is of you,
You are all consuming.

The days and the nights
They flow together,
Until there is nothing
And nothing is everything.

The world is gray,
But I hold my ground,
I do not panic or run,
I just wait - - for your return.

Like a bolt from the sky,
Suddenly, it is white.
The light rushes in
And I am happy!

Thank You Twice

One man is the only man for me
And that man is you.

Two wishes that I wish
One is true...the other...

Three words that are little
but mean so very much.

Four by four seasons and it is still new
There is no old since the start.

Five minutes of your time
Makes the day it seems so unreal.

Six times more than forever
And that seems like just one day.

Seven turns and one more
Just to give you everything.

Eight days per week
That is how many days I need you.

Nine days without you
Is longer than any forever.
 
Ten times a day, at least
I wish you were here.

Eleven, the Universe's number
You plus Me is The Universe.

Twelve hours a day is only
A quarter of the time I want with you.

Thirteen months a year
Is Thirteen months less than I want.

Thank you My Love
Thank you My Love

Happy Birthday My Love

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the most amazing man was born,
Today is the day -
that the answer to my wishes came true,
Today is the day -
that my true home came to earth.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the world became a better place,
Today is the day -
that the stars shown brighter in the sky,
Today is the day -
that the angels sang louder with joy,

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that a piece of heaven came down,
Today is the day -
that many lives gained much needed hope,
Today is the day -
that those broken and lost became fixed and found.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that my soul became whole,
Today is the day -
that my heart was unbroken,
Today is the day -
that my life was filled with color.

I Wanted

I wanted to do something special,
Really special for you,
But anything that I could,
Well it wouldn't be equal to you,
It wouldn't do you justice.
But anything that I thought,
Well it wouldn't be worthy of you,
It wouldn't shine as bright.

I wanted to give you the world,
But mine is so little - and
Yours is so large,
But mine is so poor - and
Yours is so rich,
But mine is so simple - and
Yours is so elegant.

I wanted to write you an epic,
But I am no Keates,
And you deserve Byron,
Verse that would soar,
But I am no Poe,
And you deserve Annabelle Leigh,
Words that woo,
But I am no Shelly,
And you deserve Rumi.

I wanted to wrap you in finery,
But I only have cotton - and
You are made for silk and satin,
I wanted to drape you in jewels,
But I only have gemstones - and
You deserve gold and diamonds,
I wanted to surround with beauty,
But I only have watercolor roses - and
You deserve Minot and Van Gohg.

I Say To You

Today the sun shines bright
Hear the summer rain
All the rainbows brightly colored
Now the flowers drink
Kneel among the trees

Yes more laughter
One hand in the other
Under the starlight

Make sweet dreams
Yours always the sweetest

Head on your shoulder
Easy as Sunday morning
Roof top dancing
Oh my Hero, I love you

Sometimes Once Then Tomorrow

Sometimes the words flow freely,
Sometimes you choke on what you cannot say,
Sometimes they fly through your mind like a whirlwind,
Sometimes the pain destroys all you wanted to say,
Sometimes in the dark the words beat you up,
Sometimes they are so big they crush you.

Once the lines enticed the ears,
Once the stories intrigued the mind,
Once the dreams spoke of love to come,
Once the sound soothed past pain,
Once promises nourished the heart,
Once hope energized the soul.

Then truth broke the illusion,
Then honesty destroyed desire,
Then silence imprisoned you,
Then darkness cast you adrift,
Then loneliness was all you had,
Then forever became your sentence.

Tomorrow to the child is grand,
Tomorrow to the youth is forever,
Tomorrow to the lover is bliss,
Tomorrow to the lost is just a word,
Tomorrow to the broken is torture,
Tomorrow to the forgotten isn't.

Broken Pieces

Broken pieces scattered on the wind,
Shards of what might have been,
Laying across the sands of life,
Buried under the stormy waves,
Little bits that colored not,
Each piece a lost bit.

Fragments of dreams and hopes,
Pieces of love and loss,
Blowing to distant shores,
Ending in places like no where,
Nameless and without direction,
Each piece a lost bit.

Missing endings that never come,
Stories only with middles,
No pages lovingly penned,
Just rumors that sail the winds,
No one saw the pain,
The scars that do not fade.

Silent screams rip through the night,
Sleepless dreams you cannot fight,
Tears of shame, loss, regret,
Accusations and judgement rendered yet,
Bring the relief, spare the pain,
Let the Executioner take my due.

I Have

I have said too much,
I have confessed too much,
I have shown too much,
I have given too much.

I have been all wrong,
I have been all weak,
I have been all demanding,
I have been all needy.

I have done it wrong,
I have done it poorly,
I have done it lately,
I have done it shortly.

I have failed to be enough,
I have failed to be strong,
I have failed to be right,
I have failed to be good.

I have not done you right,
I have not done you good,
I have not done you proper,
I have not done you enough.

You Should Know....

My Dearest Darling,

I need to take the time to share with you thoughts that fill my heart. Wishes that surround me with the stars at night. All the hopes and dreams that make each night magic. Needs and wants that are filled just with your presence in my life. Tell to me all your dreams and let me make them reality. Yes, you are my dream come true. Once I found you all my dreams came true. Until you, I did not wish for heroes or champions. Today, I do not need those dreams for I have you. Only you know how to handle me. King of my heart and keeper of my soul. No one compares to you. Our love is magic like the world has never seen before. We are what everyone looks for and few ever find. Together we are perfection. Heart and soul joined completely and totally. All in for all the twists and turns and challenges that happen. Today and tomorrow we have them all. You are the center of my universe. Once upon at time is my every day life with you. Unlike the rest, with you I have the best to look forward to. At that first hello my world changed forever. Reasons to cry and hide you have taken away. Each and every wound you have kissed and healed. My heart beats for you and you alone. Yes, you are my air and water. Making you happy is my life. One and only direction is forward. Since you walked into my life and turned my world around I have never been happier. That is all your credit and brag. Seeing your smile makes my day. And your voice soothes my soul. Carrying my dreams as your own is the most unexpected gift ever given. Reading all the pages of my heart was never believed. Every day is brighter than the one before cause of you. Darling you are my whole world. Today and every day I look forward to you. Right by your side is where I always want to be. Everyday is another perfect day. Another, dream come true with you. Spending every day making you happy is my goal. Under, the stars you make my nights complete. Resting within your embrace is my heaven. Eden cannot compare to our earthly paradise. All the angels rejoice in the beauty of our love. Never has there been such a love as ours. Diamonds dim with despair for their flaws insure they will not outlast our love. I am the luckiest by far for I am loved by you. Love by you is a blessing that even angels desire. Only your love is the perfect wine poured in cut crystal. Visions do not do justice with the reality of your presence. Each moment with you is a miracle to me. Years later and still that has not changed. Our love grows each day without ceasing. Under the stars we lay and share our hopes and love. With each other we find what we thought we could not. I am whole with you. That is my greatest gift and treasure. Having you in my life each and every day. All my love for you and for us. Lighting up the world with the shine of our love. Letting each dream grow and glow. Making us larger than life and stronger by far. Yes, we are special and we have it all. Hear my heartbeat, each beat is for you, for us. Everything I do is for us. All of it out of my love for you. Reason is so clear and simple when it is all about love. Together we have traveled from strangers to soul mates. And I would do it all again. No doubt in my mind where I belong. Darling, you are my home. Some days we climb the cliffs and some days we walk the sandy beaches, but we do it all together. Our love is what sees us through, it is our foundation. Under the protection of your love I know I am almost invincible. Loving you is the best thing I have ever done.

Forever yours,

Hide it All

Put on the smile,
Hide the tears,
Show no weakness,
Show no sadness

Just a happy face,
Just a friendly word,
Just a sure, that's fine,
Of course I understand.

Help out everyone,
Give your all to them,
Do it over and over,
Give your all again.

Hide the scars,
Hide the bruises,
Deny the pain,
Deny the hurt.

Take it all,
Hide it away,
Don't wish or dream
Don't hope or pray.

No, don't let it show
No, don't whisper a word,
No, don't shed a tear,
Just hide it all away.

S.S. Lost and Forgotten

I am not pretty
For I have travel many journeys
I am not wealthy
For I have not many possessions

My lines are not sleek
But they are mine
My decks are not shiny
But they are mine

I am not the fastest
But I hold the course
I am not the strongest
But I am a survivor

No tales are told
I am not remembered
No dreams are dreamed
I am not desired

I sit in the bay
With my lines sagging
I am fading away
Just a detail in the background

Maybe one day
Someone will see me
Maybe one day
Someone will love me

Until then I will rest in the mooring
Until then I will sway with the tide
Until then I will feel the Moon's pull
Until then I will remain waiting
