Yes, she knows me, she’s known me from the start
Soulmates throughout eternity, she knows me in her heart
She knows the words my heart would say
And knows the thoughts I think each day
She sees my smile and knows its cause
And feels my love without a pause
She knows the joy that we feel
When once again we’ve topped a hill
And all the love when we embrace
When we have finished a 5K race
She knows I love her for her mind
Unique, intelligent, the creative kind
I promised a life of love and adventure
But that first kiss of her hand was the heart-melding clincher
Far off in the land of forgotten
Dreams,
You’ll find love and adventure,
Just waiting for you to see.
Here in this world tucked gently away,
Patiently waits for you to come and take them to
Another place and a better day.
A road of promises that will come true
A life’s journey that was destined for you.
So please gently take my
And I’ll show you the way.
The life you seek is only a
Few steps away.
Take my hand that I offer you
Follow me and find what
Destiny has waiting for you.
Winter days take hold
keeping us hostage to the chill and cold
in forgotten youth of early spring
leaves us only time on which to cling;
the shadows dark and gray
inch thru the windy rain and snow at play
with quick slow passing of the new year day,
when celebrations rose and fell
in dropping of the ball into the year-end well;
stay a moment, sit and reminisce
recall the earlier times now missed
when love and adventure reigned
beneath the sun's cold warm games
and everyone knew our history and our names;
now, slowly slipping into the past
our futures remain uncast
and youth and adult games fade
in forgotten plans once made
waiting patient in the disappearing parade;
hold tight, don't let go
soon enough the time will flow
and in the light or the shadows of the night
we each will bid goodbye and farewell
to the waiting on forever of life's spell/
Red is such an intriguing color
I see passion,love and adventure
Like no other
Red is a color of extreme
Rich in it's nature
And vastly supreme
Emotionally intense
With a sharp defence
Red has a history
To some it's a mystery
Rigorous in it's shade
A color you can't evade
Neutral in it's space
Present in every case
Significant in it's purpose
But nevertheless
Beautiful in it's element
Unspoken and elegant
I dream of many things, none of this reality
Fantasy is the life force that sustains me
To live as I want, however I choose
To change myself at will be someone new
Exciting, sexy, dangerous,hot love and adventure
That is not reality and I know it, yet still I live in dreams
Sad hopeless illusions, can't grasp with hands
They slip through like sand in a sieve
When I wake I cry
Cry for things that don't exist
Cry for the reality that is me, my life
Why must life shatter all illusions of fantasy.
walking into my work is when you are
stepping onto dangerous territory
i have no time for second chances
i want a reliable partner
no lies, second life, or secrets
i want to be hopelessly in love
have a marriage full of love and adventure
no more nights reading between the lines
trying to figure you out
and why you're not home yet
Our Twenty-Nine
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd
You have been my darling for twenty-nine
Traveling state to state, place to place
My partner, my lover, my valentine.
We’ve had and held on in good times or bad
We’re not rich, nor poor, but our house is full
You have been my darling for twenty-nine.
You brought forth three children into our home
Two have moved away, one remains with us
My partner, my lover, my valentine.
Daring to believe we pursued the wind
We chased dreams, some saw light and some faded
You have been my darling for twenty-nine.
Faith, hope, love, and adventure paved our path
The call to service has been our highway
My partner, my lover, my valentine.
We have known joy and we have known sorrow
But our journey has brought satisfaction
You have been my darling for twenty-nine
My partner, my lover, my valentine.
