Day 282 - Inseparable

We are entwined in every single way

The trio of famous proportions.

When you are without words I know what to say

Without any strange distortions.

We hold one another close through everything

You are the lyrics, she the tune, and I the one who will sing

Until the stars lay at our feet, glowing

And we are complete, at last knowing

How the cosmos brought us together

Never to fall apart or sever.

Day 257 - Bring Me to Light

Reach deep into the darkness

Inside yourself and pull until

You begin to silently bless

The quiet and the still

Into sharing light with the dark

Pouring from your eternal spark

Your soul is brought to light

The corners of your fears

A glorious and ceremonial sight

That may very well bring you to tears

Of awe as you witness this miracle

And the pleasantly sweet pull

Of your soul reaching out to touch another

Only in the way it shall when you find your lover

The true one with whom you are forever bound

Something too much for words, far too renownd

Day 214 - Summer Time Travels

I have more adventures in mind

Than they ever need be privy to

Along paths that twist and endlessly wind

I will take you, darling just you

The flowers that hide the remaining track

Lead us away and onward to never look back

And so we will go hand in hand or apart

It need not matter in the slightest

Because the pitter patter of my heart

Is only attached to you, keeping life the lightest

That it has been or ever need be

That is the way off into the future I see

The grasses that grow hold many a message

They grow up high with hopes just as tall

That may take you one day off the old ridge

For the flying experience that grew us all

Because the flowers that hide the remaining track

Lead us away and onward to never look back

Day 206 - Complete

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

It was a golden-tinted day bright and sunny
The moment that it all began
I find it all perfect and wonderfully funny
That it all happened without a plan

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

You see I was bare foot in a skirt
Dancing to some rhythmically delightful beat
You were swaying without a shirt
Unable to remain in your tired seat

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

The music meant so much to us
And so you took me by the hand
Without making any bit of fuss
You danced me into wonder land

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

You and I would walk fields together
Hearts held in our hands entwined
It seemed to last on past forever
The best treasure we could ever find

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

We would soar if we could fly
And some days I know that we will
You hold me when I must cry
No matter the tears that I spill

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

The day was white washed in flowers
And fragrances of peaceful sleep
It was of veils and aisle walking hours
And moments far too deep

The day I slipped these onto my feet
Was the day I became complete

Day 149 - Too Quiet and Old

In a quiet old room, sit two quiet old chairs
Much too old and quiet to encourage more stares
But once upon a time long ago that pot
Was formed by hands so very well taught
The woman who made it fashioned that lace
With meticulous care and hands full of grace
Those chairs that you see where made by a man
One who ardently did all that one can
To build the perfect home for his one and only
So if he ever need leave she would not be lonely
By that bright window they held their first child
And many more who came after keeping life wild
Very little is the house old and quiet anymore
Rushing and bustle with grandchildren is in store
But every once in a while a great hush can be found
Then husband and wife sit old and quiet around
The table and chairs and soft worn old lace
Lovingly their hands make a sweet embrace
He whispers to her, "I know we are quiet and old
But ours is the best love story ever told."

Day 141 - Center of the Universe

The center of the universe meets here

Bursting in dark yellow pistils of hope

Petals brushing far too near

Like the lips of lovers who elope

Bouquets of brilliant white take the aisle

As the bride treads across in style

The veil hiding her excited eyes

Lighting upon her tuxedo-clad prize

It all begins in this universe's center

Beckoning the hope of love to enter

Day 139 - Together

Together

You are my safety

All that others hope to see

They cannot breathe you in though

They can never experience you, no

You are my story

Holding you very close to me

Promising that you will never go

Pulling me in like no one else can, no

We live as one we do, we do

That is all that must be true

Nothing else claims reality

Except living you and me

You and I forever

Entwined together

Day 100 - Boat Hope

Boat Hope

I have heard of a special time and place

Where boats could bring us face to face

To embrace at long last

Laughing at our lonely past

For love takes a relationship

But I would settle for your smiling lip

On the deck of that little boat

We could keep one another afloat

Across the wide expanse of sea

Bringing you closer to me

I can hear the waves in my heart

That keep us so far apart

I can also see the clear ocean blue

In your eyes, defining you

But for now it is only a lonely yacht

With all of my feelings caught

In the letters that we share

Though the distance is unfair

I cannot make it to you this time

Longing will last through another rhyme

And in every single line that we wrote

There on the ocean, hope is afloat

Day 82 - Crossed in Love

Crossed in Love

Fill my cup with yours dear

Next to the flowers sitting here

The yellow rose of Texas waits just there

Golden and placed with such gentle care

Crossed with the petals of a fair flower

In the memory of the greatest of power

That which calls the earth to turn forever

That which brings the sweethearts together

Let wine be the true drink of love

Sent from the glorious heavens above

To light upon in due course

All that we can never force

The truth and honesty that evades

All else until the last bit of light fades

And even then, if you can look and see

You shall behold the great mystery

That holds this world in a bouquet

Brightening every passing day

Day 58 - Cup of Tea

Cup of tea darlin' it'll be alright

You can sit nice and cozy through the night

Breathe easy sweetheart I'll watch over you

No need to be lookin' so sad and blue

The aches and the pains will soon fade away

The sweet scents and calm moments are here to stay

This will chase away all those nightmares

And leave only the warmest of my cares

Bundle you up in joy and laughter

This is the tonic for happily ever after

Cup of tea darlin it'll be alright

I'll be guarding you through the night

Day 25 - Paris Was Not Meant to Be?

My darling you made promises to me

Years ago that we would visit that city

Where boulevards are made of the lovely and fine

Where we would find joie de vivre, yours and mine

The clock behind says it is not possible

The mighty ocean without you is uncross-able

So why did you leave me here so lonely

You will always be my one and only

This was your present, you said I was the gift

That in all the world, only I could lift

You, up and high into the skies above

Together we would discover the City of Love

But you have gone to the ground they say

And all my dreams have fallen away

Yet as I walk our quiet town and small places

There is nothing that is not yours in the faces

Our little flower shop where you bought the first bouquet

That is now the path leading me to places far away

That simple park bench where you caressed my hand

None in all the cities of the world could ever understand

Why that is the place I treasure more than all the rest

Anywhere we were, will forever be the best

But darling I do not know how with you gone

They swear the City of Love goes on

That the tower still pierces the night sky with light

That there are still dreams and hopes that are bright

It has gone away forever and ever

Now that we are not together

That is the fact that remains and lives on

The only one I think of, now that you are gone

So please come back and together we will be

The revivers of the joys of that beautiful city

It is unfair that a shot to your golden heart

Could be the last thing to tear us apart

Please my love, wake me from this nightmare

No one else knows just how you and I would care

Stop lying there and quickly come with me

To the place we always wanted, that beautiful city

Day 23 - Love

Love

Here I begin to bend, anything for my darling

It matters not what shape I might take on later

And though this may seem quite alarming

I would go through hell and back and still wait for her

She holds all that has ever meant anything at all

She creates light even when the hope is so small

You see when she holds me, I know nothing more

There is only now and having her by my side

Nothing matters about later or before

For with me she has chosen to truly confide

How can such an angel breathe next to me?

That I will be forever too blind to see

I have not felt this pure or right since my birth

And that was eons ago or so it seems

That only placed me here on this earth

But she has come straight out of my dreams

To enlighten every moment I exist and live

And for her there is nothing I would not give

Day 19 - Orb of Love

Orb of Love

I am trapped in the orb do you see?

The brilliant which will not set me free

So I gaze out lost to the earth

Long ago I forgot dreams of rebirth

Now I simply gaze as it all goes by

Love and loss give the living wings to fly

But at last they sit in comfort here once more

Keeping the moment quiet, with a closed door

They do not take a second glance

Just live lives of boredom, or romance

I do not make them think twice

That is how I pay the price

I loved my sorceress, heart and soul

But they turned her black as coal

The day they gazed into our life

Is the day I lost my wife

She spent hours with potions and smoke

I still loved her even when it made me choke

She had the right reasons after all

She was my angel, for whom I sit on the wall

She could not bear if I were to die

So I stay here, eternally I lie

I am immortal or so she can believe

I died the day her last breath did leave

But she had the glory of going above

I stayed right here for our love

I never begrudge her requesting this

Only her embrace and sweet face do I miss

My witch she was one who held everything

Now in my flat ears her voice can ring

But alone here I know, no one knew her

I am her final touch of her art and anger

Left to gaze upon the ceiling

No longer to the stars with feeling

All that remains is my painting

And the endless silent waiting

Day 6 - Beauty Believer

Dedicated to Simone

Beauty Believer

Messages burnt into parchment so old

With hidden secrets that whisper just right

Forgotten tales that wish to be told

Of the angry and long lasting fight

Fear grows like flames in the hearth

Begging for the redeeming birth

Poetic love letters remain unread

Holding the key to the resolution

They remain within the bark instead

As time grows around, a true infusion

Of the power that love possesses

And the memory of final caresses

The circle burnt just so is an ancient brand

Making the small town's legacy

They had owned the many acres of land

And built the endless shops and famous library

But at the edges burned in the lighter shade

Was a memory that few would not let fade

It was the mark of a small family farm

That catered to those of higher worth

They kept the legacy far from harm

But were naturally of inferior birth

So when the love was made between two

There was not much the families were willing to do

So this was the last mark the lovers dare leave

Within the tree that kept them so safely hid

In a better time they could not believe

So on their memories they closed the lid

And left no other visible traces

Except perhaps the lost looks on their faces

But such stories last long after we die

And even after our children fade away

They are stronger than the word of you and I

And have a great many more things to say

But twisted in tree trunks that out live us all

That is where the final one will begin to fall

It starts with a swift glance and sweet joy

And a dance with skirts just a-twirl

With the interested eye of a young boy

And the smile so kind on the clever girl

Then the young soul comes along all aglow

With nothing but a bright heart to show

And he is then ready to search for beauty

When in his world her light is shining

He finds a story that spurned from duty

Though the language has a way of reminding

Him of the love he holds for his darling

Something so pure, he found in falling
