Memories

Memories are my treasure trove

a shrine within my soul

A sacred place I go sometimes

where I can be consoled

Sometimes I call your name out loud

I close my eyes to see

I reach for you with open arms

My Love… I’m here… it’s me

Oh that my will was strong enough

to bring you back again

Transcend the boundaries held in time

and let your spirit in

Heartstrings

Heartstrings tugging all day long

and fighting back the tears...

Trying hard to find some peace

while fending off my fears

Stood and watched you walk away

I couldn't say a word

Surreal is how I'd best describe

It all was so absurd

Never should have gone that far

I just can't let it be...

Got to make this thing work out

she means the world to me

Love With You

I didn’t want to love again

my heart had grown so cold…

Surviving in my little world

with everything controlled

The moment I laid eyes on you

my heart began to race…

Everything about me changed

when I beheld your face

A fire started in my soul

and loneliness withdrew

My spirit came alive again

when I found love with you

Endlessly

I think about you endlessly

your always on my mind…

A sweet distraction to my days

It happens all the time

I count the hours one by one

Until I’m in your arms…

So much I want to share with you

rejoicing in your charms

I want to spend my life with you

and make your dreams come true…

To hold you close on rainy nights

please say you want this too

Changes

Looking back on innocence

with longing in my heart

Values that enriched my life

assaulted from the start

Series of entanglements

intoxication strong

Compromising principals

it always ends up wrong

Changes a priority

return to what was lost

Cherishing integrity

no matter what the cost

Shooting Star

I saw a shooting star last night

It raced across the sky…

I closed my eyes and made a wish

that you would hear my cry

I know it's crazy holding on

It’s all that I can do…

I can’t accept that you’re not here

I'm still in love with you

At Last

How beautiful you look tonight

against the setting sun…

An angel sent from paradise

I knew you were the one

I waited for so many years

at last you’re in my arms…

The moment that I saw your face

my heart set off alarms

Let’s make our dreams come true tonight

and dance under the stars…

We’ll hold each other all night long

and make this evening ours

Open Up My Wings

The back roads now my chosen path

It’s time to slow things down

The madness of this anxious world

Its victims all around

For years my pace was unrestrained

I lost out on so much

The friends I cherished from my youth

we soon fell out of touch

I can’t go back to yesterday

no matter how I try

That chapter now is lost in time

those facts I can’t deny

I’ll settle for some peace of mind

enjoy the simple things

I’ll turn my face into the wind

and open up my wings

This Time Love Will Last

Laying here alone tonight

you're heavy on my mind...

Working through so many thoughts

emotions intertwined...

Trying just to sort things out

afraid of what I know...

Truth is crying out to me

I know where this will go...

Fighting hard to keep control

I'm losing very fast...

Everything within my heart

is hoping this will last...

In Love With You

For months I've tried to understand

these feelings held for you…

I've tried to make them go away

I don’t know what to do

Each morning when I lay awake

my thoughts run straight to you…

I want to tell you how I feel

afraid what you will do

Some days I want to run away

Its more than I can stand …

But when I say I’ll go way

then no, my heart demands

I’m falling more in love with you

with each and every day…

I've got to share my feelings now

and hope that you will stay

Crystal Pool

I dreamt of you again last night

beside a crystal pond

A mirror for your lovely face

sweet treasure from beyond

You couldn't see me standing there

I just don’t understand

I heard you say my name out loud

I reached to hold your hand

So much I wish that you were here

I love you more than life

Each day my heart breaks even more

I miss you my sweet wife

Time Takes Care Of Everything

Time takes care of everything

and puts it all in place

Things that you cannot control

you’ll learn to not embrace

What freely doesn't come to you

you mustn't ever chase

A heartache surely lays ahead

and troubles you will face

Trust your heart and be at peace

and hold onto your dreams

Everything will fall in place

your patience then redeemed

Uncharted Waters

Uncharted waters lay ahead

no compass in my hand

Everything within my heart

says go, you'll understand

A voice keeps calling to my soul

I hear her every night

The beacon from a far off shore

a guiding inner light

I know in time I’ll see her face

one day I’ll hold her close

For now my heart will follow on

to heaven only knows

Hold You Close Tonight

I hear your voice within my heart

each night you’re in my dreams

We’re tethered to each other’s soul

in love since we were teens

I wish that I could fly away

across the winter sky

To ride the winds to where you are

and hold you close tonight...

It's time for me to push away
this harbor's not for me
To loose the bands that hold me strong
and let the ship go free

It's time to pull the anchor in
and drift out on the seas
To hoist my sails high in the sky
embrace the ocean breeze

It's time to let the hard things go
and give my heart a chance
To go where fate will carry me
a place where I can dance
