~ Is It A Dream ~

I reach out so many times for the love of my dreams
Wanting to know that it really exists, is solid, won't disappear
So many times it has been not there, not as it seems
My hand touches nothing and each time brings more fear
How many times will it take to reach out and finally feel
To be sure, to reach the heights that I have always thought possible
Each time is painful, I go on reaching, hoping, praying it is real
A love that means as much to both, am I asking the impossible
Does it not exist, was it a big joke, can it be done
Do I go on with my search endlessly waiting for that final touch
Grasping love that is shared, two people feeling as one
No doubts, no questions, just pure happiness, is that too much?
I heard the clouds cry out your name
I saw the stars dim in the sky
and felt the tears that heaven rained
when you said good bye.

It was almost a whisper...
the stirring of the trees
with morning's first breath.
The echo of a thousand wings
an angel's flight
that lifted you
beyond my reach
forever.

The sound of empty rooms,
unopened doors
reminders of another time
another place
and you.

It was almost a whisper...
of leaves fluttering
in an autumn breeze
grass bending in the wind
the kiss of dew upon the ground.
I turned around
and you were gone...
in a whisper.

~ My Soul ~
Upon a rock at the ocean side
I sit and look at the receding tide
My thoughts are all that churning sea
I feel has not yet abandoned me
Some time has passed for me to heal
But in my heart I can't yet feel
It needs this time to build up strength
Yet I grow impatient to shorten the length
I hope some day to calm my soul
And give my heart again as whole
Not as this twisted churning sea
But as a calm sweet mystery
You've seen the torment I struggle through
I have shown you why I feel so blue
And when my calm waters at last appear
I deeply wish you will be near....
I'll be empty in the way of love
Pain I am use to, but this kind of pain
I haven't ever carried it so deeply with in my heart
Nor will it ever heal
But know Leighton you are the love of my life
Right or wrong
A part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
Not one day goes by without "thoughts" of you
I close my eyes and see your bright smile
I hear your voice soft and tender
I feel your touch, warm and gentle
Your lips on mine, Creating the perfect kiss
Still getting lost in your eyes
So please remember me
I'll always remember you forever
There is no other love for me, only you
You have captured my heart

I Love You
Forever and Always
You Shall Always Have My Heart
I miss you so much

~ Please Remember Me ~

~~

The passing days aren't easy, far apart
Loneliness is an incessant bell
Ringing through the chambers of my heart
Invading passages I know, so well...

No one dare trespass on my sadness...
For I still hold sweetness inside for you
Missing you is a reclusive madness
Altering every single thing I do..

Oh, I've known sweetness by you..
But years of longing..pale the dawn
I may unravel without warning..
Restless with the urge to be reborn

In my heart, you are the brilliant sun
So radiant, yet.. I can't get you to stay..
Your vision rises from my untold story
Yearning for revelation, this very day...

You may never know what you mean to me...
And you may never know quite who you are...
You're my King..wearing his crown of glory
And I've become your Northern star

May you walk among the mists of morning
With an urge to merge with me on earth
We are each other's secret dreams
For whatever secret dreams are worth..

align="center">I think about you all the time
Your name whispered across my lips
In my heart I see your smile
A taste that lasts for a long while
The beat of your heart next to mine
I miss your love so much
Your touch is so right
Like my fairy tale come true
I long to see your face
And to feel your touch
that I love so much
To go beyond the shadows of the night
I close my eyes and dream of you holding me tight

I know you'll be back soon
But soon is far to long
To be without the one I love
for I feel in my heart that beautiful love song
To be this much in love
Has to be a sin
As I anxiously count the minutes
Until I'm in your arms again

Until I can look into your eyes
And hear you say those words
That make me feel I'm so special
And know that I am loved

So until you come back to me
There's nothing more I can do
But wait for your return
And think about you
Pulling me into your arms holding me tight
Pressing your sweet lips to mine
A silhouette of shadowed love
Two lyrical bodies entwine

A quiet whisper in the night
As the moon fills the sky
Bodies unify like ocean tides
A sweet blend of passionate cries
A pledge to endure through all eternity
To honor, love, and cherish you
Forever and for always so it shall be

TWO SOULS TOUCHED THE SUN

I gaze at your picture and remember
The times we shared, you and I.
My heart reaches out over time and space
To touch your soul while I sit and cry.

The tears I shed are for both of us
And a love never destined to be.
A love kept hidden from all others
Alive for only us to see.

But through this sadness, I still cherish
The happiness we found to share.
The joy that came from our hearts
In knowing there was someone to care.

And though we're no longer together
Our hearts will remain bonded as one.
Someday we'll look back with tenderness
To the time when two souls touched the sun.

For so many people, memories are all they have left of a once in a
lifetime love. Those memories will always remain to carry them
through. To be able to remember with gladness rather than sorrow
is something that not many can do. For the lucky few who can do
this, it is a wonderful feeling to have during the sad times.
