Falling Slowly

The walls are stronger

Your shadow brighter

The outline fades

Into tomorrows

And shades of gray

When I held your hand

When I touched your hair

My heart swooned,

Lifted and took to air

It was then that I finally knew

I can't help "falling slowly"

My sweet Prince Charming,

In love, with you.

A Heart..

A heart is a special gift
It's worth immeasurable
It's gentle rise and fall
Infinitely indescribable

Once touched
It never stays the same
Once hurt
It's depths move forward
Wisely changed.

Sometimes...

Sometimes, your heart needs

To simply learn how to trust more

To sometimes break down and cry

Tightly locked behind endless rows

Of uninviting steel doors

Sometimes, your spirit wants to fall away

Sadly disappear, into infinity

And forget the anguished nights

And empty loneliness

That can sometimes fill a day

Sometimes, when the lights go out

And shadows arrive to keep you company

Your heart can sometimes begin to quiet,

Fall to faint whispers, instead of

Remembering how to stand up and shout

Sometimes, without love and constant caring

You can only do so much right

For it has always been a universal truth

A plant can only grow and flourish

When placed in its very best light

Blue October

I need, I ache, I burn for you

I stretch, I reach, I hope

For everything in your heart

It's the purest truth

I'm watching you

I'm waiting, endlessly

My heart is breaking

My mind turning

My streets have become

Cold and blue

Why have you promised

Your word?

Why have you promised more

Than you could afford?

Only to turn your back

And disappear behind hidden

Unpolished creaking doors

In my dreams

I hear the echo of your breath

I feel the silence of your step

I need the warmth of your embrace

It's the sudden goodbyes

That have become unbearable to face

When we part

The days and weeks steadily slip by

And, I search my mind to remember

The memories we had started to create

Did my eyes sparkle brilliantly enough?

Did my heart shine through

The distractions in life's disarray?

Can you remember my passion, my heart

Through the minutia and passersby of everyday?

I'm searching for you again

Through mountains

Through valleys

Golden fields afar

My heart rises and falls

With every step I take

With every risk and mistake

I risk it all, if you only knew

Without a second thought or hesitant glance

All for you, now and forever

Risk it all for the chance

To spend my life with you.

Perfectly Fine

Can I take a sip of your wine?
I know it's rippened,
Perfectly fine.

Can I criss cross
And skip against your walls

There are so many to penetrate
Sometimes, I find myself forgetting
Who you are

Can I trace your smile
In my memory?

It dances in my days
And keeps me company
In my dreams

Can I tempt you with my heart?

On the days we spend apart

I want you, miss you,
Suddenly need you in my life

And, I wonder, hope and pray
You might somehow, miraculously
Feel the same way.

Wind Whispers

I sit with your smile

I sit beside you

For, just a little while

The wind whispers to me

And, once again, you are gone

Suddenly

Like a brush of your touch

Like the fleeting flash of a shooting star

Like tears that fall in yesterday's rush

You disappear once again

And my heart cries, missing you my love,

Far, far too much

So take my hand in yours

Take my heart and remember us

Remember the feel of dreams

And kisses and mornings filled

With rivers of endless downy plush

Just take my love

Unbridled and never look back again

Just take my love

Today, tomorrow, and infinitely

For you know, it's always been yours

My heart, my dreams

My world and everything.

For All Seasons

It's spring, summer

And, fall

With you

When the colors change

Into an array of splendid hues

And leaves dance

In a magical whirlwind display

Wrapped in your arms

Winter melts away

The cold nights, naturally

Disappear into the sublime sunlight

Of mornings

Shared in bliss, in love

In, wonderment

Just, being with you

Everlasting & True

When smiles are distant
When memories play in my mind
I turn the radio up higher

When I wonder if feelings will remain the same
Over time, over new faces and places
I bathe in the warmth of the sun

When my heart questions true love
When my eyes are peaked by new interest
I dance with loved ones to remember

Oh, my sweet love!

I need you to know
That no matter how far,
No matter where you go

My love for you
Will always remain,
Everlasing and true.

Between Stars & Dreams

I close my eyes

And breathe in, deeply

I sleep beneath satin sheets

And remember the pleasant comfort

Found, in your voice

In the still of the night

Between stars and dreams

And midnight seasons

In the mornings, I wake

To thoughts of you

I arise to hopes that do

Come true

My arms stretch and reach

Toward true love and passion

Toward loyalty and grace

And steadfast compassion

Between miles and empty space

I greet the day

Knowing simplicity is bliss

Knowing the finest things in life

Can never be bought or sold

That geniune affection is the purest wish

And life's greatest most beautiful gift

I Dream...

I dream of bigger things
I dream of stars and visions
Filled with smiles and silver screens

I dream of a picture perfect life
I dream of the ideal family
Living ever after so very happily

I dream of true love
One that surpasses
Everything

I dream of you
The Prince Charming of my dreams.

I dream,
Of so many things.

A Rose Blooming...

Sweet, like a rose blooming
Soft like the touch of billowing satin
Gentle like the night's soft whisper
Shy at moments, a child's heart beaming

Tender, with moments of strength

Quiet when knowing is right

Wise like the evening sky

As it stretches, and blends anew

An ever changing mystery

Just after nightfall

An open book when trust

Overturns every obstacle

A tower of compassion

Even when walls and surface disguise

Make one come to unfortunately believe

Quite entirely otherwise
