A million miles away
I feel pain
from the horror I hear
Young faces with
soft brown eyes
wonder why
With muted breath
and a shocked system
they got what they wanted
Living in walls of fear
shedding endless tears

Whenever you’re near
my heart goes aflutter
No matter my mood
you make me feel better
All flustered and such
I lose my control
from your slow, gentle touch
right down to my soul
I love when you love me
I love being your girl
You have a special way
that makes my mind swirl
Let’s take a ride to the sky
and see where we land
We’ll find magic anywhere
when we’re hand in hand

and hope it’s a good one!)

Let there be peace in the world,
more laughter and love for our boys and girls.
Let goodwill and kindness, no matter your color,
be spread through the hearts of our brother.
Let compassion pour through our words and actions,
pulling all violence from our media attractions.
Let there be peace in the world,
to end all suffering for our boys and our girls.

(This is more of a plea than a poem)
Thanks so much for stopping by and
have a wonderful weekend! ♥
She sleeps in her bed
with a comforter made of
pastel colored flowers and
a soft pillow for her head
Dreaming of silvery manes
and bows on white horses
as they ride on a carousel
with draped, sparkling reins
Outside her window, though
she hears shuffles and squeaks
and feels a bit frightful
from the night time show
Mom sings calming tunes
convincing her precious girl
the sounds were only the
language of raccoons

(This was a “daughter” memory from years ago) ♥
Are you where you want to be in your life
or do you still have dreams pending in the sky?
Do you begin each day with a joyful start
or does ‘worry’ clutter your mind and ‘hurt’ clog your heart?
Are you walking between the lines, feeling confused,
misplaced in the realm of normality, exhausted and bruised?
Try some soul searching for Bravery and invite Peace into your routine.
Give yourself credit for enduring any physical or emotional pain.
We’re not meant to exist simply in green meadows, dotted with flowers,
but remember to breathe in their beauty and to believe in Miracles.

I dream in red
feeling warmth
through the sheets
from last night’s passion
Remembering
where your hands caressed
the trail your lips created
blushing a little
from your slow moving actions
our synchronized rhythm
soul to soul with no division
but this was only one way
of loving you
one part of being with you
I want more than a memory
stretched into forever
for you and me
hoping this dream continues
even after sunrise
I know it will
from the promise
of tomorrow in your eyes

What if I just let go
and tried not to care
What would happen
or could I even dare
Would the world’s weight
be lifted from my shoulders
Then to the Heavenly Father
I would feel closer
Would peace finally find its way
into my anxious mind
Am I strong enough to believe
everything would align
How can I relinquish
the control I desire
Be truly faithful to
see what would transpire
I’ll let go and let God
allowing Faith to lead instead
Knowing He’ll take care of me
all doubts and fears will shed

Faint is how you make me feel and not
Only when our lips connect, but when I
Remember our first embrace and how my
Emotions twirled inside of me; dizzy and
Voiceless I was and those moments still exist
Even though decades have come and gone
Reflections of those first days are magical
Learning the true meaning of bliss, an
Out of the ordinary feeling, knowing you are my
Valentine, lover and friend for the rest of our life and for
Eternity~

For those of you who have been following me
for awhile now, you know that I’m a romantic,
never hopeless, though. So because I’ve
been in a sentimental, sappy kind of mood,
I’m re-posting this from two years ago,
written for my hubby. If you’ve already seen this,
I appreciate you reading again! 🙂 ♥
