The Locket

"Time doesn't stand still the way our hearts do, when it locks onto a memory and suspends it, holding it, caressing it, gazing deeply into it and sucking at it gently hoping to savor again one last time, the sweetness of a time otherwise gone by and forgotten.

Bittersweet with a slice of heartache is all that comes to be now, when I linger there, amoung the shadows.  I often question why I stay so long, why I come back at all, what am I hoping to find?  The answer is forsaken and elusive, but no longer persistant, the call that used to be like a siren song is long become an echo, fading delicately like the waves that dissolve against the shoreline.

Love is like a mockery to our senses and the mind tries often to rationalize the ashes of that which can no longer be rekindled.

Stubbornly kept, selfishly hidden, like a treasure all its own, a part of you remains deeply embedded in that which will always be me.  Like neglected orphans we continue to dance under the moonbeam of innocence, lost among the tall grasses of an ebony field, our whispers reflecting off the water, our laughter entwinded within the grasp of tallest oaks thick branches, snared for a naked moment, before slipping away & fading amongst the diamond eyes of the never sky....

She smiles faintly as her fingers trace the silver chain that adorns her neck, remembering the memories deep within the chambers of the locket, far deeper than any faded photograph."

Black and Blue Heart Melody

It doesn’t matter what I say
You don’t listen anyway


Wipe away those silent tears away
No more sun ~ just rainy days
Dreams & laughter don’t linger here
The vibrant smile has lost its cheer
Inside the box is where I stay
Visions of heaven swept away
 

Golden dreams all turned to gray
A heart full of love - now foul decay
Broken memories shatter to the floor
You walk away & slam the door

Hate echo’s loud for all to hear
Embarrassed eyes try not to stare
Quietly that too fades away
One more day bleeds into one more day


Love was here where did it go
The question asked ~ but no one knows
Was it ever here to stay
Or was it just a game to play

I look for answers in your eyes
Seeking truth and finding lies
It doesn’t matter what I say
You don’t listen anyway

You whisper love into my ear
Promises I fail to hear
Empty words fall to the ground
It’s just your voice, you like the sound
They leave a smile upon your face
Same as the devil fell from grace

I pray for peace & nothing more
To embrace the darkness of the shore
It doesn’t matter what I say
You don’t listen anyway

I chose the path I ride along
Now my heart sings this weary song

Good Intentions

I didn’t have time to call today, but I wanted to
I would have told you that I loved you, that I missed you

I didn’t have time to visit today, but I wanted to
I would have shared stories, shared laughs and then shared some hugs too

I didn’t have time to write today, but I wanted to
I would have sent a note to show I cared, but then, I thought you knew.

I didn’t have time to tell you today, but I wanted to
I would have said how much you mean to me, how much I’m thankful for you

“I didn’t have time today, but I wanted to”
That dead beat marches on and on…
Thought it doesn’t much matter how much you want
When in the end you never do.

Time doesn’t stand still or last forever
It always spins faster than we  
So should this moment be my last
Please...

Know truly how thankful I was that no matter what
or how busy you found yourself to be,

You were never ever, sweet mercy, not once ever
Ever too busy...

For me

On the Wings of a Sigh

I don’t need much to make me happy,
I favor all the simple things in life
[though I admit to sample finer, is also rather nice]. 

I’m Practical, but flexible 
[temperamental in my ways],
Realistic & Idealistic 
[depends upon the day]
Romantic & a visionary, full of hopes come what may
[& a dreamer full of dreams, much too many too ever say]
Today come tomorrow, another journey ends. 

Toss a cracker in the ocean,
Take a moment, comprehend
Watch it sink toward the bottom ~ no more misery to lend.

Wonderland’s fat cat smiles deeply, eyes drinking in the moon. 

Memories beyond all memories, Until there’s no more room...
