Where are you?

Where are you?
I want to be kissed under the mistletoe
as your hands hold me tight

I want to share the holidays with you,
where are you, Mr. Right?

I guess only time can tell
if you will ever show

For now I'll just wait and see
whilst the cold winds blow

Tis the Season

Tis the Season

The presents were wrapped
the gifts laid out under the tree
but really what is Christmas
where is the sanity?

Some people tend to go way too far
spending what they don't have
- that's crazy bizarre

I've been guilty of that too
so I'm not slinging arrows
or saying "bad you"

The season, my friends,
I've finally learned
is about each other,
not gifts to be returned

It's the laugther of children,
carols to be sung
and lots of kisses
under the mistletoe hung

Capture the Sun

New day, my way,
done with the grieving,
finished bereaving,
time for a new attitude

Better off alone,
raw emotions shown,
living for now in solitude

Go capture the sun,
you'll figure out
how it's done
and put those "poor me"
blues on the run

Don't settle, my friend
fight to win in the end
for without love,
it's not worth the pursuit

Once Upon a Dream

Once upon a dream,
I knew your touch,
felt your fingers
in my hair

Once upon a dream,
I kissed your lips
and you held me
never let go tight

Once upon a dream,
you knelt beside me
and looked deep
into my eyes

Once upon a dream,
we lay under the stars
whispered words of love

Once upon a dream,
we danced all night
to music soft and low

Once upon a dream,
we talked til sunrise
and then made love
in the dew covered hills

Once upon a dream,
you were real, you
were here...

Where did you go?

Rainy Memories

Rainy Memories

I haven't forgotten our memories,
I've just tucked them away
I relive them now and again
usually on a cold, rainy day

I remember there were
good times, too and I try to
let them outshine the bad
but now and again all that does
is make me feel very sad

What a world we live in today
where dating is a "chore"
and what once was happily every after
doesn't live here anymore...

Sending My Love

Sending My Love

I send you bits of love
like pieces to a puzzle

Some drift along the ocean
and wash upon the shore

Others float upon the wind,
like a leaf carried
to the ground

They come to you
in drops of rain,
sometimes heavy,
sometimes light and
misty, whisper soft

I send my love in
rays of sunshine,
warm upon your back

When the winds
turn cold and bitter,
my love will wrap
you warm

And if the snow
falls all around,
each flake a different
size and shape,
know that too
is my love for you,
one drop at a time,
coming to you
from far away...

I miss you

Shadowed Dreams

Shadowed Dreams

His touch is moonlight,
softly shadowing me

His hands a gentle breeze
blowing across my soul,
bending me like the trees
swaying lightly beside the lake

His lips gliding over me,
as graceful as a swan in water
gentle, yet strong, questioning
yet taking, tasting the very
essence of my being

And when I awaken to a
lonely bed, I realize it may
have been just a dream
but in it, we were together
once more...
