A Piece of My Heart

You are my fairytale dream come true

Somehow, magically

Somehow, miraculously

You've come back to me

How is this possible?

How can this truly be?

Across more than a decade

Across more miles

And decisions we once had to make

I feel as though a piece of my heart

Has finally found it's way home

And, I dream that we can finally

Begin again from the very start.

Written in Stars?

Do you believe in true love?

Do you wonder if it's truly

Written in stars?

Do you wonder if someone

Still thinks of you

When they travel near and far?

Does your heart drift back to me

In between the dips and turns

That are a part of life naturally?

I need to know if you can love,

Only me

I need to know if your dreams

Are filled with thoughts of me in your arms

Splendidly

Please just let me know

My heart is wide open, bleeding

Please just tell me

Or, spare my feelings

And, gently, release me.

Ignite My Dreams

I sit and wait
And ache and cry
As my heart lays
Wide open

I handed it
Completely
To you

I live a simple life
I spend my days and nights
Most usually alone

My heart lifts easily
To the sound of beautiful music notes
And the happy giggle from a tiny child

My dreams are ignited
One line at a time
My actions steadfast
Consistent and fine

My emotions remind me of who I am
And the surreal arduous journey

I've somehow survived through

So that I'm assured

I've learned from the lessons
And, will never forget them
Ever again.

With You

You play

Hide and seek
With my heart
With my affections

You slip behind that curtain
To make sure I am
Who I really say I am

Again,

Every word I speak
I know you hear it
And take it to heart

You're unlike anyone
I have ever met
One of a kind
A treasure one could

Never forget

Together, there's so much to learn
And if all my dreams come true
A lifetime of memories

To share with you

Forever My Love...

For you, for you

Oh my love

Oh my sweet

So gently

Softly, you for me

You for-ever, sweetly,

Smile with me

Turn with me

Comfort me

Please, my love

Oh please

I dream, I hope, I pray

Every night, every day

You with me my love,

For-ever always.

Dance With My Time

You are, my heart

You are, my dreams

From the first sound of your voice

To the last brush of your sleeve

Fond thoughts circle my mind

All the memories dance with my time

True love is real

No matter how unreachable at moments it seems

It lives in my nights and has faithfully, always

Comforted me throughout my dreamfilled days.

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

If, You Only Knew...

It was between your lips and touch

Between your lakes and moving seas
That we first met
That your gaze first captured
My heart

The sun was shining
The rolling hills were greener, than
I could ever remember before

We rolled down those hills
We laughed, we smiled
We felt young again

Nothing else mattered that day
Nothing else, but you

My heart aches right now
Aches so deeply my dear
I only wish I could tell you
I only wish, you knew.

In Your Oceans

I want to play
In your imagination

I want to smile
In your arms

I want to sail
In your oceans

And swim
In your dreams

I want to dip in your waves
And float in your embrace

I just want a moment of your time
A minute in your space

I only want you to take my hand
And never look back, my love

Ever again.

Step by Step

When I speak and you listen

I feel alive
When you care that my life matters
It's then that I realize

There's a bigger world
A larger picture
Than you and I can ever
Fully comprehend

Take a step
Take my hand
Dive into this new journey
Into this sea of possibilities
There's no hurry

Step by step
You will slowly begin to understand

And, as you do...

I can thankfully close my eyes
And, dream once again.

Can You... ?

Can you shine with me today?

I'd love to see you brightly

Standing next to me.

Can you hear me singing?

My verses rise and fall

While you rest,

Gently against my wall.

Can you feel me smiling?

It's been quite awhile

But thankfully, I've recently been reminded

Of memories as a child.

And most importantly,

I'm asking you

Can you be a life-long friend?

Or will you simply come and go

Like so many others in the past?

Please, my heart just needs to know.

A Brilliant Path

The ache for me is real

It's found in those steps
To move forward, you see

The path is right there
It unfolds before me
Clear and brilliantly

It lies next to that pot of gold

Next to your childhood home, recently sold

I slide down my rainbow
I splash in the waterfalls spray

And, yet still, everyday
The ache hasn't left my side

It's cautious and consistent

For, it's merely making sure

I'm finally strong enough
To be my own guide.

Shine Today!

Breathe! Shine!
For today is your day!

Smile! Laugh!
For you can find your way!

Today, tomorrow, yesterday
Is all yours and mine

It's all a gift
Every moment, every minute

So, right now and forever
Never forget how precious it is, never!

Kiss The Moon

How do you feel tonight, my love?
Am I last in your thoughts at night?

Can you hear the sweet nothing's
Whispered in yesterday's dreams?

Do you remember my touch
When my hand softly grazed your cheeks?

Can you kiss the moon
And wish upon a star for me?

Can you hold tight to my heart
And miss me each moment we spend apart?

Can I play hide and seek
With-in your embrace?

And, just one last question, please

For it's the most important one of all, you see

My sweet, can you always stay true

And, love only me, forever faithfully?

Open Your Heart

My heart is aching

I just don't know

My heart is breaking

Will you ever be able to let go?

My arms plead for love

Plead for a caring touch

A voice that is gentle

To caress away

My every fear and worry

When will you come?

When will you stand by my side

Forever?

Am I everything you want

Am I everything you've ever dreamed of?

I want to be your every fantasy

Your every childhood dream

Give me the chance

Give me the opportunity

Please, just try

Try to open your heart

Just a little, to me.

Always With You

Can I tempt you with a wink or two?

It's how I felt

I thought you knew.

If I bat my eyes in the right way

Will you understand my intentions

And spend more time with me today?

If I act a little shy

Will that hook you more securely

And bring you closer to being all mine?

I just want to spend time with you

Let me show you what's in my heart

And how I can and will always remain, loyal and true.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Open your eyes!

It's true for me

It's true for you

Keep all your dreams alive!

Keep your eyes on the prize!

There's no right or wrong in life

No wrong or right

It's all simply

An elaborate, wondrous

Incredible journey

A neverending special surprise

Embrace it!

Rush unabashedly toward the light

You know the one

It sits on the other side of the rainbow,

It sits shining brightly just waiting for you!

Without You

I touched your face

Traced, the lines between the smiles

Even at the very moment

You choose to look away

It's been two years now

It's been a lifetime without you

My apartment somehow seems better today

The picture you gave me remains framed

And perched in my kitchen

The two sand dollar shells

Sit waiting, patiently

Oh! The day we spent rolling down those hills

Oh! The day you twirled me in the park

Couples smiled, chilren wanted to join in

And merrily play!

Now you are drifting away, I fear

To another land, another place

And my fingers continue to endlessly trace

All my memories of your beautiful face

And the emptiness you have left

Where my heart still longs,

With an unending love, for you

It's always a welcomed place.

A Chance to Begin

It's a bit of tomorrow with him

It's a bit of ache and sorrow
I cannot look back
Yesterday is gone again

I falter at your side
It hurts too much
Why is it this way?

Shouldn't true love be simpler to define?

So many years of searching
So many tears spent heart-breaking

When will I find him
I close my eyes and dream
Of what could have been

I sleep and drift to lands of beauty
And perfect moments
And wake just before

We have the chance, to begin

It's Time to Say Good-Bye

It's time to say good-bye

In my heart, I knew it was finally

Time to let go.

You are like an angel
Sent only to me
But your spirit has always been
Far, far too beautiful
For one so simple as me

When I speak to you

It's like heaven touching my heart
Caressing away the pain and drudgery
Of common every day

I will never be able to thank you enough
For taking the time to even glance my way

Speaking with you is like a dream come true
That propels me into a world unlike no other
A complete, magical fairy tale fantasy

And, in my heart, I've always known

I will never forget you

And, I thank heaven above

For I know, you

Will never forget me

It's Genuine & True

I think of you often

It's been awhile

I remember our conversation

And the heart warming way you brightly smile

Did we really connect?
Could true love really be found
Between two spirits so opposite
This feeling, it's genuine, and true
Amazing and comprehensively profound

I sat in your living room

And gazed at the amazing view
It felt peaceful and tranquil
Like home, yet everything was brand new

You stood in your kitchen

And looked over at me
It felt natural and good, surprisingly
It felt so right
But, how can that be?
For two people so different, entirely

Can it really be?
The beginning of true love
With him and I together

A real life fairytale fantasy?
