Sweet Phantom Love

Did I touch upon midnight, tonight?

Did I see the softness in your eyes?

I miss your touch
I miss, your kiss

It's colder and I've lost my sight
I feel lonely without you near

Oh, my sweet phantom love
Oh, how the walls echo of the past

Your smiles bounce off barren walls
Your image only remains in my memory

Take me back to a time of innocence
Take me back to the time, when

You were in my arms
And love was the only space

Between, you and I

Beauty Shines

Like a cloak, you pulled it easily

Over my eyes

Is love truly blind?

One's reflection is often a
Mirror to the soul

For you cannot treat yourself well
Unless you believe you deserve it
Inside

True inner affection
Is something genuine and real

Beauty shines from a heart that's true
It will never be dimmed
It can only grow stronger and brighter

Everyday,
You remain, you.

Always, Until the Very End

I stand beside your shadow

I watch it move and mix with the leaves

That fell yesterday



It speaks to me, sometimes

But mostly it remains silent and follows

Closely behind



I feel its presence more often

These days



And, somehow

It warms me entirely



And, I wonder

Will it soon leave me again?

Or just maybe will it be there for me

Always and, until the very end?

Unlock My Love

My heart cries out to you

Torn up, savage

The pain rips through


My body and soul


Against the daggered limbs

Placed strategically in your path

The trees they swoon

Only, when they see you

And, the dusty path

Stays sheltered


Scatter my debris

To the winds


Unlock my love from your mind

Let it slip into the darkness


Into night

Into day


Into tomorrow, and infinity


I was yours, you see


And the storm rages on

And you are gone

And my house

And my home is empty

Once again.

Always Forever More

And I sang to you

From our simple bed

Between the lines

Your sheets crinkled a bit

Silky satin, crimson red



Carmel cream wafting through

The morning rays

I'm thinking of you

Calmly sitting gazing

Across the splendid bay



Touch me gently

Tease me more

Kiss my shoulder

And love me

Always forever more.

The Shimmer of Love

It's golden, the shimmer
It's warms me, from the inside out
And, oh my dear
It's so, so
Beautifully blue

And, when you're near me
When I feel your presence close
When you touch my heart
When we're miles apart

It's at times like these
When without a doubt
I know our love is true.

You Said You Were True

I drift again

The clouds, the mist
The spray
The fog is rolling in

I shiver a bit
I close my eyes
And try my hardest to forget

You,

Said that you knew

Take me back to the day
That we never met
Take me back to the moment
There is so much
I still do not know yet

Let me place you in my distant memory
Let me continue forward
Untouched and less vulnerably

You,

Said you were true.

Take My Hand, Love

Come take my hand, love

The sky, it's blue again



The soft of your steps

Lines the quiet shore



It frames the white seashells

Scattered to and fro



Exquisite is the day

I feel the sun slip

In between our toes



The water's cool and perfect

Take a dip with me, my darling



I will always love you

Forever faithfully.

Breathtaking Hues

I spoke to you today

It reminded me of Nana Mae

And, the knowing creak

In her rocking chair

The golden hues that once framed her face

Now softly reflect back

In your treasured antique mirror



And then my thoughts began to drift

To that great mountain peak

The view was beyond, breathtaking

The wind blew pleasantly

Angels could not help, but joyously sing



As days pass steadily by my heart is learning

To carry these rare blessings

Everywhere I choose to go

The feeling remains stronger, brighter

And, with unbridled gratitude, I silently watch

As they continue to gently grow

Love Miraculously Found

I am spinning, now

I am turning, two-by-two

In your constant, loving embrace

I am miraculously found



Eyes closed, heart spread

Wide open to your touch

And my courage finally rushes

Forward, merrily instead



Fingers, toes, interlaced

Spaced, between shy and tender sighs

And butterfly kisses placed

With, unforgettable times

Unlock Your Imagination

Unlock your imagination

Let your thoughts free flow

For, there are years of creation

Emerging from your soul.
