Ever After

It may have been a look

Or a smile,

Or a conversation--

It may have been a special

Touch

Or a kiss,

Or meeting of our

Minds.



It may have been a

Past life

Connection,

A real life

Reflection--

The Universe

Conspires…



Or perhaps it’s

Chance…

A random

Meeting,

A roll of the

Die.



Whatever it is,

It brought me to you

Found its way

To the

Sun.



Like a flower

With a will to

Live…

With all it’s hope

Of an

Ever after.

Tomorrow

Painting by Edward Hopper

You can dream

All you want

But what makes

It so?

It’s not the

Wishing or

Hoping…

But the

Yearning and

Knowing –

It’s not late

Nights of

Regret

It’s the

Sun of the

Morning.


It’s the piece

Of you –

The piece

That is

Lost

The one you

Know is there-

Somewhere.

It’s the you

You need

To be.


And when

You are not,

Faith is gone -

Just a word

That means

Nothing.


But it is

Something

You know it is…

You don’t need

To see it.


It’s your life

Your thought

Your reality…

It is what

Is meant

To be.



To hold it

Close

To hold it

Tight

Even through

The doubt.


To pack up

Your worries

And sleep

Tonight

And know

What comes

Tomorrow.

The touch and the

Smell of you

The warmth of

Our last hello

The way you lie

In morning

Sleeping soundly

Next to me


The sweet and the

Sting of you

Impressions

Of our last goodbye

The way you look

At me as

I drive away…


Give me your hand

How I love the

Way it fits

In mine

Give me your mind

How I love the

Way it

Wonders…


And if you are too

Afraid today

I’ll be waiting for

You tomorrow

And if I miss you

Tomorrow

I’ll catch you

In another

Lifetime…

Angel

I’m tired of being
Everyone’s angel
Popping in and out
Of your lives
Letting you know that
I am thinking of you
Of course I am
Thinking of you
I was thinking of you
Before I was born
Before you were
Sounds crazy
But it’s true
And somehow
I think you
Know it
Wish you could
Think of yourself
And see your
Infinite beauty
But you can’t or you
Won’t so I will
See it for you…
I wanted it all
For myself
But somehow
It all went wrong
For me anyway…
But for you,
It all went
Right
And you are the
Angel.

Real

You think
It’s all so
Simple.
It feels good
And it feels
Right.

But when you
Peel away the
Layers
Things get
Muddled and
Messy.

It’s happened
Before,
It’s not the
First time
Why should
This time be
Different?

Sure I look
Good in my
Make up
But how do
I look
For real?

I’ve shown
Myself before
But no one’s
Ever
Seen me.

I want this
To be my
Moment
I want now
To be my
Time.

Kiss me
Tonight and
Hold me
Tomorrow
Please say that
You’ll be
Mine.

Good Morning

Glimpses of the
Love we made
Snap shots
Of our
Kisses…

If I open my
Eyes while
You’re touching
Me,
I can see your
Gentle heart.

Your hands move slowly
Through me
Your fingers
Tickle my
Skin.

And the way you
Hold me
Leaves me
Left with
Wonder.

What is this
Thing called Love
Why does it
Scare us
So?

Could it be so
Simple --
Has it
Ever been?

To open ones
Eyes and
Simply say
“Good
Morning.”

Rabbit Hole.

If I knew well enough
I’d hide away
for a couple of days;
Run back down
This rabbit hole
And stay there for
Awhile...

I have no business
Out here with
the masses,
No clue what I’m
Supposed to do.

I thought I saw
a glimpse of
Something…
Just a crazy
Reflection –

Some image that
I’ve seen before.
Some hope I held
In my heart.

I can love deeper
Than the ocean
But it’s just as far
To reach you.

So what’s the point
And why do I try
To extend my heart
To you?

How much I wish
I could be different--
The Everything that
You need.

To lift you
To change you
To challenge and
Love you.

That is what I was
Meant to be
But I fear it
goes
Unnoticed…
