the future is a place of mysterious design,
i cannot understand why…
but love is a floating image of the always unfound,
and surely that thing for which always we seek.
yes……..but now…so far from me its pleasure…
only serving me sadness and the stale of the lonely…
i wish to find completion within your presence,
but i must wait merely
for the oceans to part and the caps to melt
and for time to stop its masquerade against me.
Category: On Love
the beauty of mi amor captivates this heart of mine.
es casi a la tres por la manana-it is three in the moning,
uno pensamiento ser contigo-one thought to be with you.
to embrace–para abrazar
to protect–para proteger
to adore–para adorar
to honor–para honorar
to praise–para alabar
to cherish–para abrigar
to be loved–para ser adorado
for now and eternity–para ahora y la eternidad.
Amorosa is a magic name in the kingdom of love,
like a drop of springtime rain,
like a canvas full of rainbows.
Amorosa when I say your name,
there’s a power deep inside me
that pulls and plays a million chords of purest harmony.
Amorosa is a mysterious name in the kingdom of love,
like the setting sun beside the rising moon,
like the cat’s paw tossed from the evening sea.
Amorosa when I say your name,
there’s not a time or space
nor other dimension I could not face.
Amorosa is a splendiferous name in the kingdom of love,
like a mountain valley full of Redquills
like a story book Princess, rescued and safe.
Amorosa when I say your name,
I want to fall in love all over again,
just to feel one more time, the love of first sight.
Amorosa is a magic name in the kingdom of love,
like arching colors in the sky and celestial orbs kissing the sea.
Do you know how the sun sets?
Do you know the smell of rain in the spring?
Do you know the feel of fresh picked hope?
Do you know how the sun rises?
Do you know the taste of cold in the autumn?
Do you know the look of new found love?
Do you know?
I think I’m falling in love with you!
Michele I’ll tell
Is made by Mattel.
Is it one or two L’s?
Michele or Mattel?
She’s a pretty little doll
Who made me fall
Into her wishing well,
And Swish! In love we fell!
Wherever the wind blows at night
Liquid dark is the predawn sight
That mocks my desire to pour the day bright…
Thick is the soggy air
That sucks away that melody fair
Tucked away deep within my heart
Wanting and waiting a new love to start…
All of heaven is the space
Where I will trumpet of the grace,
The tender nature of someone true…
Someone soft and silly just like you!
The sea moans for me
With its frothing, foaming, undulating waves
It moans for me.
Broken shells
Armless starfish
Lie scattered upon the shore
And call for me to listen.
The sea moans for me
With its cresting, arching, tidal waves
It moans for me.
I dream, I dream, I dream all the day
To find the future of love that stays.
I dream to fall in love with a girl
to whom I can give my heart,
And right now I am dreaming that
it is you who makes us fall in love.
I dream to spend long nights talking
About the craziest, eternal things,
And right now I am dreaming that
it is you talking into my pillow.
I dream to have a friend with whom
I can share all my sorrows and all my joys,
And right now I am dreaming that
it is you laughing and crying in my arms.
I dream we reach the future
two hearts configured as one.
And, right now I am dreaming that
it is you, forever and only you.
who are you, flower of my delusions
blooming always in hidden seclusion?
your love casts shadows of pure illusion
and dreams that leave me now and forever
thinking and plotting in ways so clever.
a hope now burning fuels my endeavor
to lodge you deepest within the deep
chambers of my heart that eternally weeps
for you – the love I seek to keep.
your sweetness makes me weep…
i breathe heavy looking at your face
so, i pause and ponder only of you
at different times throughout the day
and am amazed how quickly
i have memorized your face
within the creases of my mind.
i see you when i shut my eyes.
i see you when they are open.
you always stand just in front of me
yet, far enough away i cannot touch.
i have to tell you something my love
something secret and hidden.
there have been others i have known
since the mother of my children died
but, it was always HER face i saw
no matter who or what.
now since meeting you, it is God’s miracle…
i only see you, only you i see…
and never thought i such a day to be.
