I Think of You

Time quickly evaporates into a mist of translucent memories; I hold tightly and think of you

Grasping for one more image, a word, a touch; I fight to keep the moment alive and think of you

At last I yield to it's grip, my heart sighs

As ashes lie smothering the last breath of light, I think of you

Window To the Future

There was a time
I can attest
A window to the future

Joy was there 
As many others
Happiness came as her tutor

As we jumped 
In and out
Our hearts all a flutter 

What did we find
But the trappings of time
We had landed betwixt each other

You Passed This Way Before

You may not remember but you passed this way before

You held my hand, you walked with me
You jumped and jiggled and said, let's go

Your eyes smiled brightly as my eyes cried
You were ready, you were set, this I know

As you walked through the doors there was no turning back
I knew I could do nothing more

You may not remember but you passed this way before

I'Ve Danced On Tables

I’ve danced on tables

My boots laced high

I have that kinda style

Cognac in one hand

Tambourine in another

I go on for miles

Songs of sorrow

Songs of love

Sweeping the night time air

Stars all aglitter 

A toast to you

Glasses raised high in the air

We sang and we danced

We laughed and romanced

Days that lasted forever

Now we look on

As they dance to our song

Our days have but gently ended

Whisper To Me

Whisper to me
Tell me those things that happen between darkness and dawn
Is there a dance or maybe a trance that remains hidden until morning sun

Whisper to me all that you see
All colors of clouds and blue skies

Show me how far
The distance you are from heaven and sweet lullabyes

Whisper to me
Tell me those things, those things I can only imagine
Stay near to me, help me to see the beauty in all God's creation

The Dragonflies Dance

She sat in the tall grass nestled among the lilies
Watching the dragonflies dance

The cool breeze swayed gently over, under, around
Embracing her in a soft caress

As she lay in the tall grass nestled among the lilies
Eyes watching her every breath

The trees swayed with passion, the dance of seduction began
The leaves dared to entrance

As she lay in the tall grass nestled among the lilies
The sweet sound of evening began

Her heart softly beating with the rhythm of the night
As she watched the dragonflies dance

Where Have You Been

Where have you been my old weary friend
I’ve missed you
I’ve waited so long

Have your travels been far
Can I go where you are
I’ve missed you
Come closer to me

What did you find
Perhaps a glimpse of time
Star dust, cherubs and angels 

When will I know
I’ve missed you so
Where have you been my old weary friend

I Don'T Know Why

I don’t know why I let you in
It may have been a moment
Off the cuff, to my chagrin

You were so charming, so sweet, so light on your feet
I don’t know why
My senses not alarming

You took me in your arms
Holding me tight, never a worry
My spirit took flight

As we twirled, as we danced
I took comfort; romance
Never did I ponder where I had been that night

So dapper and tall 
Your smile said it all
Yet your aura strangely misgiven

No longer so sweet, so light on your feet
Your face distorted
Your manner, driven 

As we danced to the song
Fear came along 
The encore was never given

Where was I that night?
The devil took flight
I stood there and all was forgiven

Shouldn'T I

Why shouldn't I
I got what I got

Why shouldn't I
If it ain't right it's not

Why shouldn't I
I got all there is

Why shouldn't I
Ask for all that gives

You

It came upon me as a warm gust of wind
Never knowing where it came from
Never knowing where its been

Like a snow covered field glistening under a yellow moon
As the butterfly in early spring emerges from its cocoon

As the morning sun rises and kisses the earth
So it is with you, Love
And so it is you
