If I could,
I’d give you the sun
wrapped in joy and love
because it’s you
who I think the world of
I’d bring a cup of warmth
for your coldest days
and my eraser of compassion
would take away your pain
If only I could
you know I would

Have a wonderful day!
I am honored to have collaborated

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! ♥
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

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! 🙂 ♥
If nothing makes sense
and your world seems upside down
teetering on the brink
of emotional upset
Be Kind
If angry feelings harbor
in your leaden heart
tie them to an anchor
let it drop
Be Free
If the force inside your being
is pushing you to the edge
gather strength to offer your hand
take one step back
Be There
A simple act
made effortlessly
will have a loving impact
Two souls will no longer
feel somber
Two hearts will no longer
be heavy

I’m not sure if this would be considered poetry,
but it’s something to think about
when our emotions are unbalanced.
Wishing you all a bright Monday. xo
Just me
and deafening silence
with a language
of its own,
missing you,
but knowing I’ll
soon be in
your embrace,
I’ll be home

I unlocked the cabinet
so your words could fall out
It’s not that I didn’t hear them
I was afraid to see
their meaning in your eyes
Who is the wise one?
Just as a butterfly is free
it’s your turn to fly and
no matter the language
you speak
I’ll still wonder why
our paths couldn’t align
Maybe my love
was too strong
and I pushed too hard
Could it be?
It’ll take time for my
emotions to settle
like dust on the shelf
until then
my sobbing will continue
to puncture the silence
