She brings the light and warmth,
She feels the depth and breath,
She calms the storms into a gentle rain,
She does it effortlessly, with the lightest word,
And makes the way a path to happiness….
A million points of light in the evening sky,
With each I send a message,
Whispers of words unspoken.
Each like tiny bottles on a vast ocean,
Will they ever be heard, ever understood ? I will never know.

You came like a sudden Spring shower,
Gentle patter against my heart,
Warm and languid your touch,
Drenching feelings deep,
My head tilted back; arms outstretched,
I let you wash over me,
Watering me endlessly; refreshing my soul….
In the end it’s always about communication and connection.
You might not get the answers you want, or even wish for, but it’s the key to understanding and life.
“Say what you need to say”, then really listen. Not just with your heart, but with an open mind….
Maybe we met at the wrong time.
Maybe we met at the fated time.
Maybe we met looking at a star filled sky or a beautiful Autumn day.
Maybe we met only through words.
Then again maybe, all that matters, is that connection and to know we met….
In the silence my heart whispered, "I loved you yesterday, I love you today...
I will love you for all the days to come and beyond. A thousand years, a hundred lifetimes.
It will always be you..."
And when the communication breaks down, do you ask yourself, was I the cause ?
In being myself was I misperceived or does the ocean of Life, turbulent and deep, misconstrue my meaning ?
One can only wonder and rarely know the answer….
Are you the rising Sun,
that takes the stars from my sky ?
Bringing a warmth to my often cold
little world, my peace ?
Let me embrace you then,
Brightest star in my sky,
so I can know all of you…..
Ethereal her touch,
A distance long and far
Yet the fire laid there,
In her words and ways
Set in me a passion,
So deep and wanting
The inferno reborn,
Consuming me endlessly…

I delivered my daughter, no hospital, no doctor, no mid-wife. My wife went into labor at home and our daughter came FAST.
My baby turns 16 tomorrow..... :)
Starlit skies an ocean away,
do you see them ?
The brilliant glow of the moon
against a black satin sky,
are you alight under it ?
The warm thoughts of you,
a gentle embrace,
do you feel them ?
Evening’s silky depth holds a
thousand dreams,
An ocean away….
If you only knew...
What moments of time together does for my soul...
What knowing your heart's secrets would do to lighten my heart....
What the whole of you does to make me feel so very happy....
...if you only knew.
Iron shell, poet's soul,
Delicate flower, heart of fire,
Doubting wanderer, source of home,
See yourself through others eyes,
We who look with truth,
See the splendor that is you...
There’s such freedom, relief mentally, of letting go of things.
Too many years wasted, wandering; worrying.
The peace that is lost can never be replaced.
Here’s to better things, happier moments, on the path ahead….
If you were a book, I would never want to put you down,
As I gently turn the pages and read the words that are you,
My heart would be filled with the essence of your soul,
And my endless fascination could never be satisfied until I’d had glimpsed all of you…
To languish in your arms,
My comfort and desire
Fulfill me with all that is you,
Bring me peace and joy
Touch me with your words,
Your being, your desires
Come to me Sweetness,
For fleeting moments
My heaven on earth….
As I travel, day's first pale light appears
The faint colors of trees and flowers show
My thoughts turn to you, warm sleep dwelling still
Your dreams of what I can only wonder
My mind's vision of you rising like the morning sun
Languid stirring, your day comes...
If there were no walls, no barriers
If distance and time mattered little
If life had turned to a different page
If our minds wander to a place
Is this what might have been...

She came in a silken swirl,
Darkness wrapped in mystery,
Purpose known only to her,
Restless seeking, driven.
Beware her spell,
Mistress of words,
Craft of the mind,
Ethereal fingers in your soul.
When that slender touch comes unexpected,
Reaching to your guarded center,
Long slumbering in deep inner mist,
It’s stirring brings a spark to a place within you dormant,
Does life begin anew….
…and when the thing you seek, that you will not give word to, finds you…
…my wish is that all the beautiful stardust inside you burns so brightly, the heavens feel your glow…
"If I talk real slowly
If I hold your hand
If you look real closely my love
You might understand
Here I go
I'll tell you
What you already know..."
Angus & Julia Stone, "For You"
The light in my heart can't always burn bright.
The ache and pain that dwell wrings tears from my
eyes, from my soul.
Days dawn, I must move on, ever on.
In my heart the light's embers stay ever warm.....
