After

Anticipation
                        brings me closer
                        Promises from some dream
                        mirror my reality

                        Laughter
                        brings me home
                        Comfort from your love
                        surrounds my hope

                        Whispers
                        bring me to passion
                        Caresses from miles away
                        leave me breathless

                        Silence
                        brings me to safety
                        Embraces from an angel
                        keep me secure

                        After

The Woods

I feel the calm
                        and I know you are here
                        I walk alone
                        no more my dear
                        Your strength for us
                        has set me free
                        To this I vow
                        to love, honor and cherish Thee

                        Be not at war
                        with impossible thoughts
                        for what we hold
                        will never be lost
                        Take my hand love
                        together hardships withstood
                        Hold precious these days...

                        Our walks in the woods

November Thoughts

I can imagine you leaning back
                        sigh of content
                        comfortable
                        relaxed
                        eyes closed…
                        listening to every word as always

                        I feel your hand
                        gently tracing mine
                        soft skin under strong hands
                        not absentmindedly -
                        always with a purpose
                        Strokes leading upward
                        Caresses leading downward...

                        Every touch
                        still met with an ache
                        Despite being miles apart,
                        every word
                        deeply felt and
                        forever cherished.
                        Connected for awhile
                        time willingly disappears
                        distance becomes extinct
                        moments turn into sweet memories
                        To last me another day,
                        Another dream.

                        Your soft laugh
                        makes my heart race
                        Your voice grows husky
                        calming my tremble
                        Even before I ask the questions
                        I know you feel me -
                        You know I miss you.

                        Waking up secure again
                        Feeling such certainty in the breeze
                        Of a November's end
                        I can't say where or when
                        And yet still knowing
                        As my smile spreads slowly...
                        I’ll see you soon

Grief

His heart is heavy
                        but I am near
                        The dove in his sadness
                        quick to appear...

                        With words of comfort and
                        thoughts of light
                        I embrace his pain
                        throughout the night

                        By his side I will stay
                        caressing his sorrow
                        keeping grief at bay
                        my strength he can borrow

                        Give it to me, my love
                        I will carry it for you
                        until the weight has been lifted
                        and tears have passed through

                        I will breathe light and comfort
                        and peace from above
                        You will not despair
                        for you have my love

The Butterfly

The Butterfly's wings
                        light like the wind
                        carry me home
                        to a distant friend

                        Warmed and loved
                        and completely at ease
                        I await the Angel
                        upon my knees

                        Take this ice cold fear
                        and send me to the skies
                        Relinquish my pain
                        silence my cries

                        I call to the Butterfly
                        to carry me home
                        and help me to believe
                        that I am not alone

                        I struggle to fly
                        for wings take us higher
                        Give me strength for the fight
                        and answer my desire

                        My mind is a blessing
                        for it feels your kiss
                        My heart is an ache
                        for our heavenly bliss

                        The Butterfly's wings
                        flutter silently
                        as I follow the path
                        into our Eternity

Beginning

Lifting my spirits
                        beyond the clouds
                        seems to be your playful game

                        Holding my hand
                        with such tenderness
                        before you know my name

                        I dreamed of you in colors
                        that were painted by my heart
                        Trust in me and this can be
                        Our Beginning...

                        And we shall never part

Two Ways

Version 1

                        What hath found me lying here
                        we linger closeby yet never near
                        each other's thoughts and dreams that cannot be
                        real when I feel your touch so hauntingly
                        around my soul your arms embrace
                        my body exists without time or space
                        between our destiny and future we find
                        fate wraps us up forever entwined.

                        Version 2

                        What hath found me
                        lying here we linger closeby
                        yet never near each other's thoughts
                        and dreams that cannot be real
                        when I feel your touch
                        so hauntingly around my soul
                        your arms embrace
                        my body exists
                        without time or space between
                        our destiny and future
                        we find fate wraps us up
                        forever entwined
