Strong In Love

 

Strong In Love


His thoughts were always with her

His thoughts found a way to console

He reached out and held her

In ways that were good for her soul

He sung songs through the night

He sung songs restive and secure

Her heart was enamoured

With his gifts sure but true


There were times when she wondered

Who will ease his pain

With her illness she could not 

Return there once again


Strong in love, strong in faith

She would remain

Strong in love, strong in faith

For him once again


Her body brought her a torment

Her mind remained strong and sure

His love and strength was enough

But love isn’t always a cure

His songs rose to the occasion

Easing the pain in her mind

Filling a quiet need

That could not be undermined


There were times when she wondered

Who will ease his pain

With her illness she could not 

Return there once again


Strong in love, strong in faith

She would remain

Strong in love, strong in faith

For him once again

There Was A Story

 

There Was A Story


There was a story 

Lost somewhere in his words

It flittered and flowed

In usual cadences

Rising to tempt the mind

With subtle thoughts

Disjointed

Yet liberating 

There was a story 

Lost somewhere in his words

Just For You

 

Just For You


There are moments everyday

When words do slip away

My heart fills with emotions

My heart is filled with devotions

I feel a stronger love

Just for you


Unexpected moments

Captured for all time

My heart fills with emotions

My heart is filled with devotions

I feel a stronger love

Just for you


Everywhere I walk

Everywhere I roam

A distant memory

Keeps calling me home

Keeps me from being alone


I see you standing there

Always looking to share

What’s in your heart

It is true

It is what you do

Just Wondering

 

Just Wondering


Listening to the storm

Wondering

Intriguing voices

Lifting

Fulfilling

Relaxing

Filled with wonder

Lightning pulses

And thunder claps

Poetic moments

Crescendo subtly

Inspiring

Creating intense communication

Bursting with energy

Leading our minds to places

Where we can dwell

Softly

Gently

Sharing

In quiet closure

Just wondering

Dream Of Another Day

 

Dream Of Another Day


There are things that are tried and true

There are thoughts of me and you

There is friendship in my life

There is truth to make things right


Dream of another day

Have the best thoughts for today


There is warmth and caring here

There is sharing that does endear

Warm words build up to strong refrains

Seeing so clearly when I call out your name


Dream of another day

Have the best thoughts for today

Two Hearts

 Two Hearts

The path that you started

The twinkle in your eye

The quiet expression shared

The moment you asked me why


I looked up

And I knew

That a future was destined

For me and you

Two hearts beating

Sharing all the same

Moving together

Experiencing together


Built on a single moment

Thoughts that at once aligned

Sharing what we were feeling

Almost as if by design


I looked up

And I knew

That a future was destined

For me and you

Two hearts beating

Sharing all the same

Moving together

Experiencing together


There was no need for encouragement

No single purpose to what we felt

Our lives were moving mountains

Thoughts that needed to be delved


You didn’t ask much

It was what you got

A kindred spirit

Lost in thought

Where minds were developed

And words were explored

Building new mountains

Here I Am

 

Here I Am


Here I am

Waiting quietly

Here I am 

Patient as patient can be

Silent in gratitude

No one needs attitude

But I am wondering

Why you are so late


Here I am 

Worried about you

Here I am

Starting to feel blue

Wondering what’s kept you

There isn’t much to do

Keep searching all their eyes

Hoping for a great surprise


Here I am 

Maybe I should call

Here I am


My heart is a flutter

My words do sputter

Thinking that you forgot

This Is Where I Will Be

 

This Is Where I Will Be


Where the water flows

This is where I’be

Listening with examining ears and hearing eyes

Time immortal 

Searching for answers lost and never found

This is where I’ll be


Where the wind blows 

This is where  I’ll be

Feeling a carousel of burning passions

Driven by desire

Seeking truths once known but forgotten 

This is where I’ll be


Where the beginning is 

This is where I will be

Pushing with prodding fingers

Exploring with an open mind

Images that have yet to be discovered

This is where I’ll be


Where the end is

This is where I will be

Devouring with rapt attention

Limitless words

Lingering with carefree souls

Exiting to new beginnings

This is where I’ll be

Wordsmith

 Wordsmith


I am a wordsmith

I seek out meanings

I look for definitions

I listen for ideas

I hear sounds

I feel images

I explore and discuss and imagine

And record them because of their interest.


I am profound 

And yet insecure

I read people

And I endure

I seek answers

And pose questions

People think I am strange

And I might well be


I look at life

To discover more about me

Searching for answers

That might never be

Plumbing the depths 

Of a philosophical mind

Uncertain, yet deeply certain

In ways not defined


I am a wordsmith

I am so much more

I am defined

I adore

I chase down answers

I write to understand

A much larger world

And all of its demands
