Tonight sleeping thoughts awake a giant God
my dream moulded outside this world
I kiss you breathless sighs of mystery
in a thousand blinks a picture silhouette
Every second heartbeat skips with wonder
Straight to the soul echo bounces of chambers walls
Under a flower candlelight exploring magic
silver lining shadows with the stars shine unique
Dancing our love becomes the banquet
conquers all tunes as sweetly a songbird sings
Written in the sands salt a treasure
Of our time together sweeping pulsebeats
Who will stand before us as I kneel To honour
Because as one I will catch you and save your grace
Pick one or two, then that night
we may dream of fragile petals around our
dozing heads,
we may feel butterfly kisses,
they tickle, but it’s all perfectly innocent,
their subtle perfumes
will ease us into peaceful dreams.
Not so those cultivated blooms,
roses and such,
they will linger, pout and sulk
demanding more and more
aspirin,
then go slimy on us.
Most consider
weeds to be too common
to be plucked for romance,
however - disclaimer -
they understand the language of love,
perhaps better than we.
(Caution -
if we go crazy with a weedwhacker
they will pollinate our minds
and our brains may go to seed.)
Buttercup and daisy
and all other flowering weeds
are for more natural lovers,
if not so,
we may have to make do
with only silk roses
and electric candlelight.
As I watch your eyes glowing by candlelight;
My quivered hands labor to arrange my thoughts
In the near call of evening’s final anthem--
How this soul dares for one precious moment
Which needs to hold you in my ocean of silence,
And perhaps , when I enter into a flight at rest
Today’s rain would cleanse away all my offenses,
Allowing us to drink life’s sweet ambrosia…
Like the first coo of our newborn, ordeals turning
Into headways, soft dances after a foolish rift;
That my heart rejoices-- for you are the only anchor
Grounding me from dark waters, propped by
An Indulgence of love when lost dreams find
Me captive— your gentle strength abides, unflagging,
Then to be life’s calming tide whistling on our trails
I shall yearn for your caress, your nectar of wine—
Until rainfall ceases, my fragrance of endless ardor
Will linger upon pillows of a co-owned bed… Quietly,
Look upon moonbeam’s eyes… Darling, I am there.
Silent One's Last Letter To My Beloved
12/26/2018
His lovely bride was no cook, tried she might
He labored on construction till the night
He worked up a heck of an appetite
Rushing on home, must have missed every light
Kicked off his boots as he held her so tight
Leisurely asked what’s for dinner tonight
He looked at her two hotdogs, what a sight
One’s for you, one’s for me, is that alright
Eyes so bright and smiling with much delight
The young newlyweds dined by candlelight
Gingerly nibbled to enjoy each bite
So she remembered their very special night
As she glanced far beyond in the moonlight
Fond memory, now young widow’s hindsight

I don't like loud places,
but the ambiance was set.
The knights had their roundtables
spread with scented linen,
the ladies, their centerpieces
and candlelight on cornflower laces.
She prepared for this night
a dream she held for so long,
private, in the silence of her heart,
far beyond any questions of right or wrong.
I watched as she sat at her table,
Demure and keeping to herself,
as poet after poet gave readings and rhymes,
an appreciative audience gave their only wealth,
the applause of true creativity.
Then the tables were moved to the edge of the room,
forming a circular dancefloor in candlelight.
Then the music began and there he was,
their eyes met as he took her hand,
and they danced holding each other tight,
as Eric Clapton sang 'Wonderful Tonight'.
*** I guess the contest closed before I became inspired. Oh well, that happens.****
Keep quiet, there’s no reason to cry
I wish I could be your candlelight tonight
Shelter me with no regrets, can’t deny
You are my nestled lullaby, so darn bright
Keep low, I’m trying to be good to you
I wish I can believe in myself once more
Tattered and torn to the point of turning blue
You were my lover of the past to the core
Fight on, shine on
Do what you can to survive till dawn
Shine on, shimmering sun
Do what you have to do to move on
Worry not and know, you are beloved
Cry, then fight on till dread is gone, one I adore
Worry less and show the tears you shed
Cry, then fight on till the sun shines no more
I will not give you the moon
rather I will give you moonlight
glowing on a calm sea
where the stars glittering gleams
lay on top of each wave, rolling onto the shore
where I will give you my most precious jewel
my heart
I will not give you the sun
rather I will give you romantic evenings
of candlelight whose flames
glow on the fallen leaves of Autumn
as wine is shared between lovers
where I will give you my most precious gift
my heart
I give my heart to you, its worthiness
Which holds such things yearning dreams are made of
To kiss you tender in love's warmest bliss
Where Angelic wings are formed to fly with love
I'll pause for the glorious glow in your eyes
That drips love softly from our beating heart
To welcome years of romantic surprize
Through glistening joy welcomed smiles impart
This love soaring far above earthly bond
Where dreamers dream of love never-ending
To always last forever and beyond
Even unto death as we're ascending
I will give to you all that I was
and all that I am
I have no diamonds or rubies red
I have only my most precious jewel to give
my heart

Oh! Turn on the light house today.
Oh! Turn on the light house without delay.
Oh! Turn on the light house Jesus is
Coming back with not much further
Delay! Keep on being ready, willing,
And able!
Oh! Keep your candlesticks brightly in your
Windows of your mind. Oh, keep your
Candlelight's burning brightly. Waiting,
And watching, hoping and praying for
The soon returning of Jesus Christ!
Do not let Satan, your enemy blow out your
Candlesticks! Don't light the devil, your
Enemy blow out your candlelight!
The forces of spiritual darkness
In earthly high places!
Keeping them burning brightly
In a world filled with darkness
And despair. Jesus Christ
Is the Light of the world.
"The light of the world is Jesus"
His light is shining brightly to you.
He is will able to rescue you
From spiritual and despair.
"Once (you) were blind, but
Now (you) can see. The
Light of the world is Jesus!
He is able to snatch you
From the Satanic Jaws
Of eternal death and
Damnation."
"The light of the world is Jesus.
Come to light its shining for me
Softly the light is its shining for me.
Come to the light, its waiting for me
Once I was lost but now I can see
The light of the world is Jesus!"
paraphrased
Love in Christ Jesus!

Non stop appointments…
Non stop worry, nobody to listen
Nobody to care,
Frustrations over nothing,
Too much noise, where are her headphones…she’s 22 but acts like she’s 8, this is autism in a nutshell, 24/7, we don’t get a break..because we don’t have family to help, everyone has their own life, luxury trips, red carpet parties to attend.
Stress is building up, the house is a mess, no relief in sight, just built up anger, please go amidst your day, don’t worry about our life, this is nothing new.
Doctors, psych appointments he tries to make, all while skipping lunch, the only hour to himself, we don’t make our schedules..
Never ending phone calls, being out on hold for eternity…how is he still coping with this all? Im speaking for all families of special needs, doesn’t this sound fun?
Trying to convince the county to pay for a fence, so our son, daughter won’t run off, a leash we put on so we know where they are, but oh the states we get, maybe you should walk in our shoes for one day, please do…
Evening has come time to unwind, wine in our hands, candlelight dinner? Yeah right, not us we have to spend the next three hours trying to get our child to sleep, the meds aren’t working.
The school called twice today, our child was being disruptive in class, we are at our wits end. Nobody understands, all the fingers are pointing at us, I’m so close to tears, remind me again why I became a Mom?
Lord I didn’t ask for this help us out here you said you’d never give us more than we can handle, why then are we exhausted, we don’t get invited anywhere by family friends, because society doesn’t understand autism, maybe they never will…
I wanna just give up, I’m so empty inside, no more fight I have in me, I’m raising my hands up to you Lord, take it away..
A broken thought holds meaning
Even though its not completed
A broken dream shines, envisaging
Even though its not really alive
A broken smile brings a sweetness
Even though its not always smiling
A broken tear falls from the soul
Even though its not filled with hope
A broken heart shares a silent light,
Even though it isn’t softly glowing…
Like candlelight, with assurance, knowing
That there is nothing impossible in life…
Even the broken can pick up the pieces,
Pouring out the glue of insight and beauty,
Filling the mind with a sense of belonging,
Soothing away the doubts with sincerity,
A knowing that love will find a way to bring…
Joy and truth, pasting the feelings together
With a promise of the song who lasts forever,
The song of kindness, the song so gentle …
It brings the broken a reminder that life is filled
With brokenness, but it can be mended…
By a love who is stirred to life by the hand who
Brings the best gift, the spirit who lifts hearts
So they always believe, they always see…
The meaning beneath being broken is spoken
In the prayer that changes darkness to light,
The promise of a love that gives peace to the night,
The miracle of a Savior who never grows old,
The wonder and the joy, the peace and the hope
Forever in the soul of those who know He is alive
And, because of Him, the broken can be restored,
The heart that bleeds can fulfill every dream,
The soul that is afraid is reminded – He is brave!
And amazed by the gift of His saving grace, the beautiful
Written on the face of the heart who hears His music
And feels sure that He is the answer to every yearning,
He is the glue that promises the spirit it will never die
Because of His goodness, His blessing, His sacrifice –
He is my heart’s healing, my soul’s faith, my spirit’s thanks!
With a broken smile, a broken dream, a broken heart
I hold the key to paradise – it comes to life despite the flaw
That leaves its meaning beneath the broken smile, the broken
Know that it is in the brokenness that He finds pure gold,
The gift to those who sincerely believe – He can and will fix anything!
