Act one had just begun
the day we first met
I didn't know the die was cast
and the stage was set
act two what was I to do
you stole my heart and soul
couldn't guess the part was mine
I would play the leading role
act three I'm on cloud nine
I was there walking on air
it was beyond my wildest dreams
an answer to a prayer
act four who could ask for more
on my marks didn't miss a cue
before the fall of the final curtain call
it was a fairy tale come true
but now there's rain on the window
or tears in my eyes
don't know if it's due
to all those cloudy skies
between the two I can't tell
since you said goodbye
can't unring that bell
but who's holding the handbasket handle
now my whole world has gone to hell
the genie is out of the bottle life is so humdrum
and I don't really care for the man I have become
Gods sing praises to her healing ~
the blessed woman has been risen

Laughing lavender lights
Glisten on naked skin
Breathing tenderness
A touch so gentle and sweet
In silence – in solitude
Where grace penetrates
Robbing anxiety it’s dread
Soothing with music’s prayer
Twinkling in amber eyes
Shades of soft, soothing sounds
Erasing all the fears felt
From crying so quietly
Grace embraces the whisper
Of imagination, insight, inspiration
The beauty within a spirit
Who soars across the fields
Colors of hope and passion
Greet love that falls brightly
On the stars and moon
Hues of heaven’s kindness
I need to know where
Love shines down, without a sound
Lifting my soul to new heights
Rejoicing in the promise
Of a God who knows my heart
Understands my thoughts
And awakens my sense of hope
To become the person He blesses
With His endless affection
His direction and correction
His gift of acceptance
That reassures me – I am loved
Beyond my wildest dreams!
In my wildest dreams.
You stood there clothed with garments of elegance
As nature did dance
To the rhythm of your elegant steps
In my wildest dreams
My dark heart felt the energy
Emanating from the radiation of your dental pleasantries
Setting free the eulogies
In my wildest dreams
My heart sang in desire
As trees became the choir
The air made the audience
In my wildest dreams
I realized love was fearless
Challenging the darkest of hearts
Riding on the chariots of your beauty
In my wildest dreams
I took your hands
Embarked on the love ride
With chariots of enthusiasm
Our souls found refuge
In my wildest dreams
The lights started to dim
As fantasy bid farewell
The river flowed down my eyes
As your hands left mine
Reality captured me
And left me with no companion but memories
~
I sang to the moon in your favourite style
with lemonade lyrics and daffodil song
Gathered the stars that I found in your smile,
leaving the universe dark before long
Moved every mountain in spite of their size,
short in the middle and tall on the ends
So that the sunset reflects in your eyes
and to your heart every echo now sends
Painted the oceans in rose petal mist,
colors as soft as the touch of your hand
Walked on a shoreline the waves gently kissed,
followed the footprints we left in the sand
Wrote you a poem of whimsical scenes,
written in verses now speaking of love
So that you know in my wildest dreams,
it’s always you that I am thinking of
~
I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination
To a place beyond my wildest dreams
Where fiction and fantasy, worlds a part
Come together as one.
~*~
Dream big don't ever compromise
Imagination take me to the skies
~*~
Through the clouds to by pass the stars
Way past Jupiter, way past Mars
~*~
Distant from the pages edges~
Far from the easels of art~
I find my imagination~
Mystifying beauty
Voluptuous shape
Infiltrating your subconscious
I float on clouds of grace.
The source of your yearning
The one that you secretly crave
The intricacies of my splendor
runs deeper than the oceans.
Words once only written
are now poetry in motion
Hypnotizing your desires,
like an aromatic love potion
Your hidden fantasies
are now boldly spoken.
Compromising your composure
You become my seeker
Like your silent confessions,
I am your secret keeper
Your imagination's creation,
I am now your reality
The unbroken promise to man,
I am the manifestation
I surpass your wildest dreams

five, seven, five craze
poet’s mind becomes obsessed --
visions of seasons
all four blend as one
melting pot of poetry --
eating more than words
winter puts pounds on
spring has us on a diet --
words spew more slowly
bikini summer
Brad Pitt leaves Jolie for me --
in my wildest dreams

I
Marvel
Now and then
‘Bout our essence.
That immortal spirit
That possesses our bodies.
Cultivating our sleeping minds.
Planting the seeds of our wildest dreams.
Stirring the premature fragrance
Of dormant flowers of thought.
Mirrored within an
Image of itself
Inside our
Own mind’s
Eye.
Never knew love could be like this,
Never thought it could happen to me,
finding true love, didn't think it was
possible for me, I love when you are near me,
all I want is you, you are my wildest dreams.
You make me feel alive,
the feelings that I have for you,
I can't keep them to my self,
I can't keep them bottled inside,
I have to let the whole world know,
you are the one who brought my life
together, with love, you gave me hope.
Feeling your lips touching mine,
holding hands as we talk all night,
just having you next to me,
no one else, you are my wildest dreams.
I want to kiss your lips,
dream of you as I go to sleep,
you being close is more than
enough for me,
I love to be with you every single day,
this feeling of love that I have for you
will never go away....
I want you near me,
all I want is you,
you are my wildest dreams.
As we sit together,
I am in your arms,
I love laying on your chest,
I hear your heart beat.
You make me feel safe,
there is no other place that
I would rather be, only next to you,
you are my wildest dreams.
As we hold eachother close,
I watch the sun go down,
the window is opened,
the moonlight shining on your face,
Not having you in my life,
something that I could not see,
you are everything I want,
you are my wildest dreams.
You fulfill my life,
my hopes,
my every need,
spending time apart would
never make since to me.
You make me laugh,
cry tears of joy,
I once felt emptiness in my heart,
you are the one to fill the void.
