Magical Spells

White lightening conjures magical spells,
As you feel binding thoughts from her mind’s wishing well ,
You’re most precious held dreams spin in her wake,
As you breathe in & out to rewrite your fate ,
Now open your eyes to hear whispers ring true ,
A menu of lavender lights up for you ,
As you honor the past in your deepest held trance ,
Remember the scent of your sweetest romance,
As your mind drifts to read what’s next on the page ,
Remember the scent of rosemary & sage ,
So take what you can & honor her heart ,
As the light in her eyes reflects love from the start ,
So listen deeply & imagine the cast ,
As gifted actors pretend from your past .

Obsession

Obsession creates an emotional state
Influences the soul with no chance of escape ,

People and places we attempt to evade
A sequence of energy cosmically made ,

A key to one's heart that's universally shared
Attractions so strong its source no one dares ,

To question a power from deep below ground 
A reflection whose light mirrors rhythm and sound ,

So count your blessings for those who seem rare 
The lessons they teach you are part of love's care ,

To open a window of understanding to share
Her blessings and warmth & energetically rare ,

A pulsating heartbeat shared between one
Understanding that shines bright like the sun.

Tone and Timbre

The tone & timbre of writing in key ,
Thoughts expressed as if written for me ,
Understanding words that read like a rhyme ,
Patience absorbed when learned over time ,
A flower that blooms so we all can rejoice ,
Nature shouts out such a beautiful voice.

Forever Friend

In the midst of the storm, when the world's cold and gray,
Her beacon of light brightens my day.
A friendship of kindness she shares every way,
Her heartbeat of joy reflects our sun’s rays.

A melody's silence, a calm in the storm,
Her comforting presence, energetic & warm.
In the darkest of night, she's my guiding star,
I get lost in her thoughts as light shines from afar.

Her smile, lit sunshine, as my solace remains,
A joy that stays hopeful as kindness attained.
I hope you’re aware as my eyes gaze through your stare,
Your precious reflection is unrequitedly rare.

Through the highs and the lows, the joy and the pain,
She's joy made from sunshine after each rain.
With a friendship so pure & free from life’s strain,
I pray she remains my gifted friend, Laine.

Your rainbow sky lights above colorful rain,
The strength that sustains when all efforts wane.
With a bond oh so rare & a complexion of care,
Her precious friendship is beautifully rare.

So here's to Laine, a friend I hold dear,
A bond unbroken year after year.
May our friendship endure through thunder & pain,
Pulsating in sunshine , forever unchained.

A Magical Gate

As you begin to feel deeply,
wisdom's heartbeat of light,
Begin to now see,
a pulse of enlightened starlight.
So start to fade deeper,
in states of luminous bliss,
As you peer through connections,
where none may exist.
Maybe you'll float,
beyond the silence of light,
As you visualize the beauty,
your heart feels each night.
So open your eyes,
as they close and you wait,
For a magical power to emerge from love's gate.

Through Whos Eyes

Through Who’s Eyes 

A child's mind burns , nightmares pierce through the night,
Yielding to pain as clouds appear through starlight,
A soul drugged and burned with the support of a crutch, 
How could a child’s pain still hurt so much?
Heartbeat filled wishes that reach me as such,
Praying my offspring will imprint by touch,
The pain, the hurt, and love we all share,
Praying an angel will teach them what's rare,
So love, light, and joy found them at last.
An angelic-faced angel stars in their cast,
So a thought buried deep as a wish and a wave,
Her heart sparks the truth it’s my life that she’ll save.

Friends Gift Of Light

As light shines through the reflections we make,
Her wisdom and insight engraved in her wake,
She invested the time so I understood,
Emotions and feelings as only she could,
Another soul might have turned a blind eye,
Care wrapped in kindness through a breath and a sigh,
Like a hummingbird's wings, in the grace of full flight,
Her beauty and light bring spring's delight,
She's a friend who speaks through the language of love,
Enlightening souls from blessings above.

Miracle’s Clear

It's important to know,
Who's thoughts make yours glow, 
In a direction so clear, 
Your doubt disappears,
So if you find yourself lost, 
Remember the cost, 
Of a lifeline so dear,
A friend who makes miracles clear.
