Heartstrings: September 2015

I'm Here

Slumber comes for me once more

and takes me by the hand

A journey to a secret place

a far off peaceful land...

Walking down a corridor

with windows on each side

Looking at the memories

and where they now reside...

Up ahead an opening

a doorway filled with light

Sounds of water fill my ears

an ocean soon in sight...

A sea of turquoise in my view

white sand beneath my feet

Clouds above are billowing

a seagull there to greet...

Gentle breezes brush my face

a blast of ocean spray

A voice I haven't heard for years

"I'm here for you today"...

Misha

A thousand times I've thought of you

and where we both are now

It's funny how the little things

come back to me some how..

At times I think of how you laughed

your silly little grin

The way you kissed me on my lips

when daylight would begin...

The way we cuddled on the couch

and drifted off to sleep

The mornings we were late for work

the secrets we would keep...

Sometimes I hear you sing your songs

and then I sing them too

For days I hum the melodies

just like you used to do...

I never thought I'd feel this way

or miss you like I do

I'm coping now the best I can

I'm still in love with you...

Every time I look at you
I fall in love again
Your gentle touch and how you laugh
my lover and my friend...

I often see you in my dreams
your sweet and lovely face
Dancing in an evening gown
with white embroidered lace...

Spellbound by your every move
I watch you gently sway
So absolutely beautiful
I just can't look away...

The spotlight hovers over you
a dazzling silhouette
Your eyes like diamonds shining bright
my angel called Nanette...

The Voice

I heard you in my dreams last night

my hopes were quickly dashed

The voice that caused my heart to leap

an echo from the past...

At times I feel you close to me

can almost see your face

I reach to hold you in my arms

to fall in your embrace...

If

Times and seasons come and go

and life keeps moving on

The journey to our hopes and dreams

and love we chance upon...

Sometimes the paths we take are wrong

we follow with our heart

What seemed to be the perfect choice

was foolish from the start...

When looking through the lens of time

we see it all so clear

If only we had waited for

the answer to appear...

Alone

Sometimes I feel so all alone

with people all around

The cares and worries of this world

pull hard and weigh me down...

Sometimes I want to scream out loud

release what's deep inside

To go somewhere I've never been

and find a place to hide...

Sometimes I question all I know

and wonder if I'm wrong

There's got to be more to this life

a place where I belong...

Our Time

Our time goes by so very fast

a flash before the eyes

A young and tender flower blooms

it wilts and then it dies...

We travel down a winding path
with stops along the way
A butterfly appears to all
and then it goes away

A moment in eternity
we call our very own
A bird that leaves its mother's nest
and flys away alone...
