Heartstrings: November 2016

Solitude

The lines are more pronounced each day

my eyes display the years

In moments of deep solitude

I ponder all my fears...

My friends grow weaker by the day

and some have closed their eyes

It's hard to find the joys in life

with all these sad goodbyes...

Dee

Forever in silence

I'll think of you Dee

Of all that we spoke of

and thought we would be...

At night when I sleep

and off in my dreams

I'll look for you there

beside crystal streams...

If you see me there

and I'm in your view

Please call out my name

and I'll come to you...

A Path

Your spirit touches me again

I feel you in my heart

We walk a path that few will tread

I've known that from the start...

You know my words before I speak

you never turn away

Sometimes you sit and smile at me

at what I've had to say...

The mystery of forever love

a bond that we both share

A path awaits the two of us

if only we will dare...

With Me

I've had a lot to time to think

what life with you might be

The one thing I can surely say

I want you there with me...

I Wish

The morning sun lights up the room

and slumber sets me free

My thoughts are quick to run to you

wish you were here with me...

My Heart

I'm in a place I've never been

so lost for words to say

How do I share with you my heart

and hope that you will stay?...

Regrets

Regrets still often punish me

they taunt me day by day

Mistakes I made when I was young

demand that I still pay...

So bruised and battered in my soul

the grieving never ends

The memories that come back to me

and oh, how my heart rends...

Not Ready Yet

It's far to soon to look ahead

I'm still within it all

Not ready yet to close the door

emotions often call...

Longing

I can't escape the way I feel

no matter how I try

The longing deep within my soul

sometimes I sit and cry...

Oh come and take me in your arms

and hold me all night long
Make love to me just like before

and stay where you belong...

With You

I hear your voice inside my heart

and hope you hear mine too...

I'll never love this way again

the way I loved with you...

The Candle

Sometimes the candle burns too fast

and passions fade away

What seemed to be the perfect fit

we know it's not today...

I know you feel the same as me

we mourn for what we had

We feel each other's pain right now

it's all so very sad...

Intentions that we both expressed

were nothing but the best

But in the end we both could see

we had to let it rest...

Holding On

It's like I'm living in a dream

that never seems to end

To cope with all I face in life

I simply just pretend...

The mirror that reflects my pain

no mercy to be found

The image that looks back at me

it speaks without a sound...

I keep on hoping everyday

some how I'll make it through

The reason I keep holding on

I'm still in love with you...

Music by Joe Bongiorno

We Cried

We cried unto the Lord most high

He heard our desperate plea

Removed the curse from off the land

and set His people free...

Once Again

The northern winds begin to blow

I pause to take it in

The trees arrayed in colors new

it's autumn once again...

The winter season soon will come

our summer slipped away

In time the leaves will all be gone

and frigid days will stay...

Why do the season’s change renew

sweet memories long ago?

Of simple times and childhood friends

and playing in the snow...

You all now gather in my mind

and pass me one by one

My treasure from another life

when living was such fun...

I'm there with you in spirit now

and never will depart

I won't forget you dearest friends

you're all within my heart...

Soon

A text appears upon the screen

I heard your voice inside

Just wanted you to know I'm there

in spirit by your side...

We share a bond that we both know

grows stronger every day

I wait for you to come my love

and take me far away...

Missing You Tonight

Sometimes the loneliness is hard

a desperate restlessness

An overwhelming sense of loss

I fight but can't suppress...

My friends all tell me it's ok

it all will work out right

Then why do I keep breaking down?

I'm missing you tonight...
