Finding Happiness

Find Happiness, where the lilies bloom.

Seek it, in the shadows of life.

Grasp it, in the noonday sun.

Feel it, in the showers of Autumn.

Cradle it, in your amble arms.

Nourish it, in your heart.

Taste it, in the nectar of honeysuckle.

Chase it, throughout the fields of life.

Catch it, among the starry skies.

Carry it, wherever you go.

Wear it, as a smile.

Then, when you have done all these things…

Create it, in your homes.

Share it, with all the world.

Cherish it, Forevermore.

Create

To sleep
To dream
To create that which we can not see
A life lived
Beyond reality
In a place we can never find

To rest
To hope
To flee again to that town
That dungeon
That castle afar
Yet near at hand

To wake
To find
To reminisce of that which was
Which can never be
Outside
Of our heads

To imagine
To wait
To fall again into night
Closing off our eyes
Opening our hearts
Seeking

Searching
Wishing waiting hoping
That our dreams
Are more
More that wishes
More than lies

Reaching out for dreams
To be
Life.

I Dream

About the stars, interwoven in the very fabric of space and time.

Stretching out into infinity and past the recollection of lesser men.

About the oceans, vast and vicious to the unwary, yet gentle at times.

About the rain, how it falls, when it falls, how it feels.  

All these I dream about, 

Yet never find myself a step closer to finding out why or how…

I’m caught endlessly in between this world and the next,

Hoping I’ll find you.

Here or there,

There or here.

Chasing you endlessly throughout. 

I sigh…  

Resting to catch my breath,  

Breathing for the first time since I saw you there,

Outlined in silver lights.  

Each ray of starlight shattering,  

Descending upon your hair in gentle highlights.  

Strands of dreamy silk descending in pure beauty and joy.  

My heart stills each time I see your face.  

Each time you smile, I faint.  

Being around you makes it hard to breath..  

Yet it feels like I’m breathing again… 

For the first time.

My Girl

I’ve got a gal and she sure is swell
She’s my lady.
I’ve got a love that came from above
She’s my angel.

I worry about other guys who just can’t keep their eyes
off my girl.

I’ve got a dove as free as can be
She’s my darlin’.
I’ve got a gift a priceless gift
She’s so worth it.

Cause nothing in this world
Could make up for my girl
She’s my dream.

My Own

You are my heart
Beating softly beside my soul

You are my lungs
Breathing gently
Stealing my voice

You are my hands
Holding me close
Never letting go

You are my eyes
Seeing for the first time
Love

You are my nose
Smelling sweetly of apricot
Of rose petals on the water

You are my fingers
Intertwined in your own

You are my love
I am yours.

Aleina

My dear, sweet love
You are my heart,
My happiness,
My breath of life.

You are my angel,
Lifting me off my feet,
Carrying me
In your open arms
As we fly.

We dance upon the water,
Skimming the surface,
Sending ripples across the sky,
As raindrops fall gently
Landing upon our noses.

We dance
Waltzing across the ocean breeze
Catching waves at sunset,
Watching amber flame across the horizon
Igniting the very fires of our hearts.

We are
So beautifully,
So perfectly,
So amazingly wonderfully
In love.

Spring Love

Spring melts the frostbitten wounds of winter
Softens the cold fingers
Stretching forth unto light
Unto life

Time passes too quickly for words
Carrying the feather quill
Scrawling upon tiles of centuries past
These words of mine

Sunrise finds you in my arms
Gently held in the pale mist
Dewdrops upon your fingertips
Falling ever slowly

My lips grace your crown
As light dances upon your face
Waltzing gracefully
To the beat of our hearts

You are my sweet angel
My dearest love
My night sky
And my summer’s day

You are
The warmth in my heart
The spring in my step
The smile upon my face

May these simple words
Begin to express
The way I see you
Even now.

Birthday Poem

Today is a special day
Because of it, there’s you
With each sweet uniqueness
In everything you do

Twenty years of living
Many years of life
Full of joyful happiness
Coupled with strife

This day though is wonder
Fill it with your love
Seek for smiles everywhere
Thank your Father above

Remember who you are
A blessing to all you know
And know I’ll always love you
No matter where you go

Moonlit Waters

Moonlit waters, dream filled lake
Morning rays do awake
Love renewed together at last
Marching forward past
Onward marching into night
Out of day yet into light
Farewell we’ll speak but listen dear
No matter how far…
You’re always near
And here
In my heart.

My Dream

My love, the hour is late and your voice has faded into the night.
 Scarcely has time passed, yet I already miss…
 Your laughter, song and love…
 When you speak to me, I am filled with peace.
 A fullness devours my doubts and dashes away my fears.
 When you are near me,
 my worries crumble into ash, my walls fade into past..
 Shattered like glass..
 You’ve been a light,
 a softly beating light…
 Illuminating the shadows of my mind,
 dispelling sorrows
 and putting pain to rest.
 You’ve been a comfort,
 humming as you hold me in your arms,
 sending me off to dream…
 You’ve been just that,
 a dream…
 The purest fantasy.
 A hope for love eternally.
 You’ve been the first I could see there,
 by my side forever…
 Now you dream..
 asleep,
 waiting for the new day.
 Sleep now my love..
 dream deep..
 for you shall arise anew.
