She collected sea shells
I collected sand
She searched for the perfect one
I reached down my hand

I carried a bucket
A basket she did whirl
Mine was filled with tiny grains
Hers with mother of pearl

She came out each morning
Me, just late at night
She adored the sunrise
I loved the moon light

Then one day it happened
My alarm clock didn’t ring
I woke to a rising sun
It was the weirdest thing

I ran down to the shoreline
My bucket in my hand
It’s then I saw her gorgeous face
While I collected sand

I found a perfect seashell
And watched her eyes grow wide
She held out her basket
I placed the shell inside

Then she reached down before me
And gathered in her hand
I held out my bucket
She filled it up with sand

And now each day and evening
We walk along the shore
She told me that she loves me
And her I do adore

So if you see us out there
Strolling hand in hand
Know...she’s collecting sea shells
And I’m collecting sand
Just for fun........
.

Hand in hand we watch
as sleepy waves yawning
neath amethyst skies
follow lemonade moonbeams
in rhythmic motions
and hypnotic sighs
on a sandcastle shoreline
of reflections floating
silently on the tide
as we fall in love
*one more time
Sweet dreams
You laugh
I laugh louder
You smile
I smile larger
You cry
I cry longer
I always think, I'm feeling so much more

But when you said
You're more yourself
When you're with me
I realized
That you're Love Is
equivalent with me
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love isn't worth a dime
.

Wandering among the lonely
Searching for the smile I lost
Rain still follows my endeavor
Spending clouds to heed my cost

Flowers bloom though fragile petals
Hide behind the thorned abyss
Reaching in my skin is tattered
Of this one my heart does miss

Tired muscles burn of Mondays
Breathing hard against the wind
Falling stone an endless detour
Still I make my way again

When a light of soft temptations
Glows of warmer summer days
Sending forth a sense of meaning
In the beams it now displays

What is this now towards me runs
Blurry eyes on silhouette
As a voice of angel’s singing
One I shall not soon forget

It is her my one desire
Reaching out to take my hand
Tears recede, my smile returning
Neath the fruits of love I stand

On my knees I fall of weakness
Can this be my dream come true
As she whisper, soft endearing
“Hear these words I say to you”

“Have no fear, I shall not leave”
“Come with me my soul is yours”
“Never more shall love evade us”
“Every step this heart endures”

When on wings of silver satin
I am lifted from the ground
Wrapped within her arms forever
I was lost but now am found
.

Listen as you close your eyes
                 whispers sweet a’ call your name
   floating forth of chestnut skies
             tucked between the falling rain
   softly from my lips does flow
                      wishes in a fern leaf blend
     so my love this night you know
                  *upon a northbound breeze I send
Wishing you a beautiful sleep
.

Soft beneath concerto skies,
                    sonnets of sand dune reaches
   and deserted isle longings
                   sing harmony in a tropical key
as symphonic breezes sway palms
                  in warm arpeggio footsteps
                     bringing me ever closer
          to the melodic beauty
                           *of your sunrise smile
.

I watched the sun melt,
dripping from the skies

Becoming all these tears,
*falling from my eyes
.

Walk with me, this path does lead us
Curved and twisted thru the fields
Tempting is the destination
And the secrets it may yield

Around the bend an entrance beckons
Long before the skies turn grey
Shrouded by the lost horizon
Wishing us to come and play

Golden grasses form the boundary
Step between the flowing lines
Quickly now the leaves are blowing
Listen as the wind it whines

Nestled in a frame like forest
Set amongst the view we see
Love awaits our storm chased folly
Calling out to you and me

Fade the darkness from your vision
Follow me to where I roam
Needless now to brave the weather
*For we have found our way back home
