A long time to wait,
A long journey to travel,
A long time waiting to touch you, love,

Waiting so long my love,
Can not find the path to your heart,

Morning light, gentle breeze,
Carrying your scent of spring cherry blossom trees,
The morning dew kissing my cheek,
Memories of you.

Hastily, eagerly chasing after, morning shadows,
Wishing to catch a glimpse of you in the morning mist,

Still unable to find,
A clear path to your heart,
To my Destiny,

Unable to surrender,
Unable to find the courage,
To travel the long journey,

To touch your heart,
To hold you in my arms.

Mornings are glowing red and gold,
Streaks of white paint tossed on a blue canvas,
Yellow Forsythia glowing,

A girl sitting alone on a bench, at the ocean's edge,

Passion in my heart, flourishing,
Her guitar sound, her soothing voice,

My Soul calmed,
Her dress fluttering in the sea breeze.
A sparkle in her eyes,

Seagulls flying above an Angel singing hymns,
Filling my Soul, with hope,
  
While I whisper,
What is your name,
My pretty daydream?

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Every night in my lonely dreams,
You come to me from a far away place, (Korea)
And a distant time, (The time of Joseon.)

You are my Destiny,
My lost love,
The heavens took away on that June day.

But on July 7th day every year, A Midsummer night's dream,
Meant to be, as a great gift from God,
You are my love song, my destiny,

We spend a night, a dream of making impossible love,

You are my Angel,
I will love you forever and ever,

My beautiful dream,
You are my everything!

Hearing echoes of bells,
Hearing echoes of  **, **, **,

What is that yummy smell?

Smells of yummy apple and cinnamon cookies,
Mom is baking to fill Santa's tummy with goodies,

I see,
Brilliant flashing lights covering a pine tree,
In the twilight, we feast on cookies and tea,
Puppy dogs begging for treats,

Dad drinking Eggnog, playing with trains,

Come on kids,
Let's get to bed,

Mom don't forget to put goodies out for Santa.

Tonight, we'll dream of flying rain deer.
Toys carried by a holly, jolly fat man,

What is that I hear on the roof?

Hearing echoes of bells,
Hearing echos of  **, **, **,

It must be Santa and his slay.

Yay!

I feel amazed and like I'm living in a deep dream sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see Magpies flying high,

I write words from our dreams, every day,
These words are never enough,
To show how much I love you!

I cry when you're in pain,
There is nothing I can do but pray,

You're beautiful!
I can't resist your courage and strength, it's true!
The cherry blooms and palaces fade into shadows sometimes...

But my memories of living with you in the past will always remain,
Locked away in my heart, like the treasures of Joseon,
I am crazy for you!

Your Soul is fast; your heart is a mother's love,
I truly wish my heart was being held in your hands,
I could sing and dance 'til life was done,
But you are the focus of my plans,

Too much missing you is impressive, my love,
And for you, 'Dae Han, Min Guk', I thank Heaven above.

All my love,

On this bright and warm Sunday morning,
Our life together is about to begin,
It's been so long only being friends,

Look at us!
Two different people,

From different times,
From distant places,
From other worlds,

We have touched each other's hearts,
With distant words across time and space,

Now it's time,
To hold on to each other tight,

As our life together begins,
Our hearts open,
To let our love in,

Look at what we've done,
Only Fate knows the path our lives will take,

We have become more than friends,
We've discovered our true destiny,

Looking into each other's eyes,
We see our dreams coming true,
As our life in marriage begins.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I have been waiting for your dreams all night along,

I'm feeling lonely this morning,

I'm in pain today,
I miss you,
I'm feeling blue,

Where did my dreams of you go?

I'm holding on to memories of you,
But, day by day the memories fade away,

This night I want to send you my dreams instead;
A dream of flying into your arms,
A dream of holding you close,
So close our souls become one,
Dreaming of you all night long,

I will wait for your dreams forever plus ten-thousand years,

I'll be there soon,
We'll be together again,

We have seen this in our dreams,
Dreams that will come true,

I love you.

Gazing into the darkness of a night sky,
Wandering through time and memories of you,
Overwhelming love reflecting from infinite space.

There is nothing more beautiful,
Not even the vastness of space can compare,
To seeing the bright stars in your eyes.

Your Soul is with me always,
Hugging me with warm memories,
Filling the void of emptiness,

Greater than the Universe,
My memories of you,
Fill my life with happiness.

Even though I can't hold you in my arms,
When I look to Heaven,
I know your Spirit, is with me always.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Your view is vanishing from my memories,
Like walking away in a misty rain,
On this day of tears,

How can I let this love go?
Let love, fly away,
Carried by storm clouds,

Your sunshine left,
Burning in my heart,
I can't forget your bright smile,

You were my blue sky,
Why do I continue to,
Look for you every day?

When I look up,
I see nothing but gray,
Black clouds hiding your bright smile,
Your beautiful dark eyes,

To remember you,
Sends me to a rainy place,
A place of misty tears and gray skies,

Praying for you to return to me someday.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Why do I choose to live without you?
Is that what I truly want?
The pain of an empty heart.

I search and search,
But can't find your touch,
Maybe you don't exist?

You are my true love,
The lover in my dreams,
Please tell me how to find you.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Approaches another ghostly flight,
With the stars of the night rising;
Falling memories in my eyes.

Flying beyond the other side of the sky,
Through a shining doorway to love,
Touching the earth at the other end of time,

Where my dear princess, is waiting!
Kneeling down praying for love.

Guiding me home,
An Angel eclipses my Soul with hope.

Love is standing before you, my princess,
Can you see my sweet desire?

My loving Queen,
Please take my hand,
Never letting go,

Hoping God answers our prayers,
I wish to stay and love you,
For an eternity.

Eight cups of coffee,
A long night, waiting for love to come home again...
A cold moon is looking down on a bitter Soul,
Dust bunnies are making love in the moonlight.

Always waiting, never seeing you,
Bitterly cold, lonely nights, looking for your ghost at the
bottom of every empty cup,
Painting love poems with bittersweet, coffee grounds.

Still looking back,
asking, when will you come home?
Looking at a closed door,

Should I remain here waiting, with an empty heart?

Still unable to forget you,
can't leave this place,
eyes are always searching, cannot see past my broken heart.

Or move on,

Opening, a closed door to a new life and new dreams,
filling my heart with new love, new hope,
and say goodbye to my lost love, forever...

​Passion!

For a time,
For a place,
For a people,

Love for times past,
A time of princesses and queens,
The time the last Princess of a great Dynasty, lived.

Passion for a place.
A place of ancient times,
A place of wars and devastation,

A place of dreams,
A place of creating new things,
A place of courage and respect,

Passion for a people,
A people who have written many words about life and love,
A people who passed along songs for thousands of years,

A people who have never given up on their dreams,
A people who never have surrendered,

A passion
For another place and time,
A place in the distant past,
A place in the future,

When love unites,
A great people once again.

A tribute to the inter-Korean summit  April 27, 2018

Brothers and Sisters of Joseon
In the spring, our love warms our Souls,
like cherry blossoms floating in the breeze at Panmunjom.

In wintertime, our love is cold — it's holding the island of Yeonpyeong
in pain freezing our toes.

If skies are blue, our love is peaceful — two people shaking
hands in the spring sun.
If thunder rolls in, our love is brave, a refuge from the rain.

When spring cherry blossoms bloom,
Our love is bold, like red petals on the Korean rose.

When autumn leaves fall, our love is silver,
shining bright like, Mount Kumgang.

From New Year's day till Dano, the fifth day of the fifth month of
the year our love will continue to hold hands.

From season to season, may peace continue to bloom,
in the land of Korea.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

You and I met at dawn in our lives,
And you became the never-ending sunshine,
In my life,

Now, every day, I wake up to the warmth of your Soul,
To the beautiful music,
Of your beating heart.

Each new dawn,
We move onward towards our dreams,
Hoping time won't stop,

Every sunset holding you tight,
Waiting for the stars to shine in your eyes,
Looking up at our wishes, as they fly across the heavens.

You are the love,
I will forever,
Travel through time with,

Wishing our journey never ends.

Lady from another time!

My love for you is like the finest silk,
You remind me of a cute ***** cat,
Who likes her tummy rubbed,
And purrs with kisses.
Together, we are like whip cream and chocolate ice cream.

Oh darling Princess who visits me in my dreams,
My cute Asian spice,
The perfect companion to my hot Soul.

Dreaming of red sunsets,
Flying over waves of an Eastern Sea,
Dreaming of sunrises,
Falling into your cuddling arms,

Dancing on a new day's dawn,
Making love to you all day long!

Oh my darling Princess,
Walking with you under a spring moon,
Your kind lips sparkle in the moonlight,
Your Soul is ravishing,

I love you lady from another time!

Copyright ©  2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Golden sunsets are always beautiful,
They remind me holding your hand, walking along sandy shores,
All the while, speaking of our dreams to come,

Magpies, singing us to sleep,
Under a misty summer sky,
Altair and Vega, guiding us through our blue sky dreams,

Waking up in another time; seeing rainbows shining upon your Soul,

Looking into your eyes,
Seeing diamonds reflected; brighter than the stars in the night sky,

Holding on tight; afraid to let go,
Feeling safe; our Souls walking along a golden path,
Cherry blossom feathers falling in your hair, tickling your nose,

My love,
Who says goodbye at dawn,
Wishing you were real and could stay with me for one day more,

Desiring to hold you in the daylight; my dream,
Hearing you whispering to me,
I love you, keep me in your thoughts while I’m gone.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Where have the years gone?

My hand shakes while I write these words.

Everything is disappearing from my mind,
Memories fade and turn gray;

I can no longer hear childhood laughter,
Memories of faces are disappearing.

Behind me is a dark tunnel where,
Memories have been lost never to return.

My past is lost and soon my future will be too.

Where have all my memories gone?

Copyright © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

If it was only possible,
To hold you tight one more night,
As we dream of raining cherry blossoms in spring,
Falling in, beams of sunlight.

Our hearts fluttering,
Flying into each other's arms,
Dreaming one dream, never being apart.

Why am I standing here,
Gazing off into dreams from long ago, dreaming of you and me,
Living and loving in a beautiful place?

A place where cherry blossoms and golden fields of barley grow,
Where magpies, fly.

Traveling the great distance, to my past life
That only dreams make possible.
Bringing back love, from so long ago.

I love you!

There's nothing else I can do,
But, write this poetry of love to you,
Words that you will never read.

It must be my destiny, missing you,
Looking for you, among the stars,
Reaching out to you, each night.

Only finding a ghost,
Staring back at me, from my dreams.

Knowing of the possibility,
You are dreaming on the edge of distant shores,
Looking at longing lovers Altair and Vega,

Glancing into the future,
Dreaming of everlasting love,
Wishing for love,  

Watching the impossibility of stars,
Remembering our first time,
Makes each night,
Bright as star shine sparkling in your eyes.

Standing beneath lovers Altair and Vega, each night,
Wishing my impossible dreams find their way to reality.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I only want,
To touch your heart,
To love you in the daylight.

The impossibly, awakens,
Only in my dreams.

If I could only understand,
Why you are the flame, rising from the East,
That burns love in my heart each day?

You are the candle,
That lights my way, to my Destiny in the light of day.

Why do I only choose to touch you in my dreams?

I'm saddened,
When we say goodnight,
At morning's dawn.  

You say it must be this way I must want to stay.

I'm here waiting,
I know it's what you want. Come to me.
Come home and be with me.

It only takes one step to begin,
The journey to my heart.
Treasures are here waiting for you.

Look towards sunsets.
You will see me standing on the shore of an Eastern Sea,
With arms opened wide,

Looking for you in every the sunrise,
Flying, home to me!

...
I want to thank the Korean Artist: SunKyum. Her music inspired me to write this piece.
https://www.youtube.com/user/sortSUN0707/videos

It's been raining these spring days incessantly,
No sunrise for so long,

My yearning heart rises each day.

A cold breeze whispers your name.

The day ascends on a great bluebirds wing.

Your sweet voice calms me,
That I carry into the twilight of rain beams,
And hold next to my ear.

You fill me with hope.
Your words dry my wet tears,

As my hand touches my neck,
It reminds me of your warm sunshine.

In the hushed day, I listen for the last drop of rain.

Stupid General
A Passionate Romance
From a dream by Poet Ron

Queen Hyun is a ****, strong and smart woman from the city of Seoul. Her life is going nowhere until she meets General Gyeong, a tall, handsome man.

Queen Hyun takes an instant disliking to General Gyeong and the drunken and cowardly ways he learnt during his years sailing the Eastern sea.

However, when a dragon tries to **** Queen Hyun, General Gyeong sobers up and comes to her rescue. Queen Hyun begins to notice that General Gyeong is actually rather charming and brave at heart.

But, the temptations of bottles of wine leave him blind to Queen Hyun affections and Queen Hyun looks to the stars for answers.

Finally, She notices an invisible but handsome swordsman, Warrior Young
A fighter that always stood guard over her since she was a child. A fighter that would do anything she asked of him. In fact, he would give his life for her.

While General Gyeong, sits at a table with a glass of wine still wishing for passionate love.

Stupid General Gyeong chose a glass of wine over spending his life with a  beautiful queen.

My dream with enchanting blue tiger-eyes,
with silky black hair wrapping us
with echoes of memories and angel wings.

I long to sip your lips of grapes again.

My dream, we fly home on the magnificent,
silver-winged eagle,
vast continents and cold oceans passing beneath us.

The depths of all the seas and distance between galaxies
shall never separate our Souls.

Shining stars brighter than any diamonds, guide our way home,
Angels greet us from the other side of time.

Adorned in white robes,
we hold our love tightly flying home,
in the twilight bathing, in each other's warm love.

I wake to kiss,
your heart beating,
on the other side of time.

My dream come true,
our Souls my love, are home.

At first glance,
I saw only a girl dancing,
Her name was Tiffany,

But, If by accident, serendipity or by Fate's guidance,
I looked twice,

Your charm pulled me into this world far to the East,
Through song,

I have never had such a sense of passion and obsession,
That brought me into this world of miracles,

I've become obsessed with you,

This place of old and new,
This place of pain and happiness,
This place of beauty and respect,

Rising like the Phoenix out of the fires of war,
This remarkable place was re-born with youthful strength and song,

Noticing, over the years,
I have seen many wondrous things,
From this far off place to the East,
They call a miracle,

I've cried with your pain and smiled
With your joy!

Many times, I have wondered,
If your streets are only but a dream?

I look with my eyes,
I hear your voices and music with my ears,
But I truly see you in my dreams.

She Flies Away

Cherishing my sunset dreams,
Dreams, of times past,
Dreams, of an adorable Angel,

Seeing,

An Angel dancing in the moonlight,
Twinkling stars, in her eyes,
A heart, bright and warm as sunshine,

Lips tasting, so sweet,
Like milk chocolate hearts,
A dazzling glow around her,

Such beauty, such love she gives,

Wishing dawn would never come.

As another sad day begins,
Asking her, please stay,
Tears flow fast, as she flies away.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Vanishing from everyday life,
Walking an empty road,
A wraith is looking for the ghost he holds tight to his heart in his dreams.

Hearing ghosts from the past
Around the bend,
Haunting him walking along the road of life.

Dreams driving him insane,
Hello, where are you?
Let me see you.

All he sees is an empty road ahead with no love in site,
Writing love letters to a dream every day,
Letters tossed into a desk drawer of memories.

Vanishing from everyday life,
A wraith is walking an empty road, looking for his lost wife that walks with him in his dreams from a thousand years ago.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

You and I crossed paths,
For the first time in my dreams.

I've waited so very long,
To cross an endless ocean of time.

Rising into the sky
Above the walls of impossibility,
Not knowing if you truly exist.

No longer feeling alone.

I take a chance,
This fantasy becomes a beautiful story,
My dreams become real.

I look for you,
Waiting for me,
Standing, in the gardens of reality. 


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A long time ago,
At the beginning of Fate's eastern path,
You and I touched in a dream,

On the sunrise of a new life,
You became a delightful Hope,
That opened my heart;

To a beautiful Miracle,
To a wonderful new world,
To the past life and home, I mourn every day.

My dream,

But you still don't know who I am,
The only time I can touch you,
Is in my world of fantasies,

I truly don't know,
When I will be able to take that first step,
On a Fates path, to find you in this life,

To kiss your hand and,
Hold your Soul forever in my arms,
You! the Love! of my sweet dreams.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Another night has come,
Standing here beneath heaven's stars,
Drunk, loving a green bottle of Soju,

Missing you, looking at sister moon,
Losing you my, only love,

That day,
You were taken away from me,
Tears filled my eyes with pain,

Calling out to God,
Why?
Did you take her from me?

I still think of you,
Every day,
Such a long time missing you; spending  days in pain,

I can't think of anyone else but you; My love,

My Angel in Heaven,
I miss you.

It hurts so much,
I have not found anyone else,
To love me like you,

Thinking of ways to,
Turn back time,
To change that day, you were taken from me.

Remembering you every day,
Praying to God to hold your Soul in Heaven one day.

The lonely snow has come again.
Today I cry warm tears.

Remembering you and me,
sliding down frozen hills,
skating on mirrors of ice,

On snowy days,
we were always the happiest,
we never felt alone.

Late at night,
we never said goodbye, only sweet dreams,
as we slipped under warm blankets of love,

No matter how cold,
the outside world became.
You and I surrounded each other with warm love.

Today, I still smile, but my heart cries.
Missing you; who loved me so much,
on cold, snowy days.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Missing you so much,
As the sun rises,
In my eyes,

Everyday tears flow, drenching my Soul,
As the scene brightens, my Soul hurts,
Only to remind me, I sleep in a lonely bed.

Living in this flowerless place,

Whether the sun shines or not,
It's all the same,
Days filled with blue tears without you,

My heart aches for you,
No love to share,

Days pass by,
Growing older with time,

No days filled with happiness,
Missing you my love,

Wishing always to fall asleep,
With dreams of you and me,
Living and loving in our past,

Your ghost,
Still touching my heart,
Holding on to you, until sunrise comes,

Wishing for that day to arrive,
When I no longer,
Leave you alone in dreams,

Standing before you,
When bathing in the warm, bright light,
of your love and sunshine, becomes our reality.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Your amazing lips and kisses,
I'm hot with passion,
My Soul lusts for you every lonely night,

And when you touch me there,
I'll search for love no more,
You are my dear passion; you are my dream come true.

When you hold me close my passion, and we can't get any closer,
Making love all night long,
You make it easier for me when life gets hard.

I'm sleepy.
Please never tell me goodbye.
I love you! My princess.

My love, telling me goodbye is my nightmare.
You never letting me go, is my eternal wish.

Making love all night long is my never ending desire.
My dreams of loving you,
With passion makes it easier when life gets hard.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Golden sunsets,
Coming... sooner every day,
Always alone, wishing my life away,

Praying for dreams, of you and me,
Standing at ocean's edge,
Our past lives flying too fast,

Meeting beautiful Souls,
At life's end,
Four decades lost, weeping lost love,

Wishing you were,
Only a phone call away,

Overwhelmed by memories,
Feeling guilty at sunrise,
Never loving another Soul,

Even on my sad days,

Memories, of beautiful you,
Make my days shine brightly with you,

Shouting at dawn,
Why couldn't I hold you,
Only one more day?

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

All those years ago. You were my life; you were my dream,
you were my love, my dear Queen Seondeok,
An impossibility I know.

I dream of visiting impossible places and times every night,
A miracle raised from the ashes of war,    
And one people of Korea,

A miracle that stands,
Only minutes away from eternity,
Every day.

My dear love, Queen Seondeok, please grant your wisdom,
To your people living in the North and the South,
And remind them, they are one family,

They are the family,
Of the Kingdom of Joseon.
The place my dreams come from.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I write down these words,
Hoping they embrace you,

A dream of love,
Of magic words, to say I Love You,
I am proud to know you,

I'm very happy,
When I touch, you chest,
When I feel the beating,
Of your strong heart,

Feeling your Soul,
The air around us becomes hot!

Your gift of youth travels,
Through space and time,

You send me the sunshine, every day,
Even with heavy rains,

But, this is only a dream of love,
I wish I could embrace your Soul in life,

These years that separate us,
How painful and sorrowful they are,
Two Souls separated by years is a curse,

Even when my world is, sent back to loneliness,
I won't forget my memories of your beating heart,

I know someday,
We will meet, in a distant land and time,
Embracing our Souls,

I write these words to you,
My impossible love,
"My impossible girl."

I sing your praises to the world,

I will always dream, of your Soul singing,
And a free Spirit, which can never be caged...

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Dreaming the same dream over and over again,
All, of a place, a magical place,

Of dragons, nine tailed foxes, white tigers, and bears.

Every night I travel to a familiar past; painting a crescent moon.

Remembering you,
The love I had,
The love for you.

A love for sunrises,
On cold winter mornings, lying next to you.

The warmth of your body lights my
Soul on fire with burning love.

A thousand years have passed,
A burning heart,
Dreams of you bring me hope.

Seeing you again and again,

Wishing this reality is but only a dream.
Wanting to wake up, loving you,
In times past.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

South of the black clouds,
My Soul flies,
My heart lives.

South of gray clouds,
I walk the streets of Freedom,

Beautiful Han River,
Carries my Spirit,

Memories of dark clouds linger,
Such a black life I had, living under storm clouds,

My wish is, for the dark clouds to vanish,
I want to live under the blue skies of Freedom,
In the place, I was born.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

My princess, you ask me, "What do I think of you?”

Princess, you are beautiful my love. 

You are stronger than any woman I have ever known.
There is no one else in this universe or an infinite number of worlds, 

that can compare to you, my sweetheart.

I write love letters to you every day telling you so.

I want to find enough courage to step on board wings of silver,

and fly home to you my dream, 

to hold you in my arms in Seoul, reciting love poetry to you is my last wish.

Looking into your eyes,
seeing Heaven,
two Angels dancing in reflections,

A glimpse of a new Seoul; a bright future ahead,
seeing us embracing love
in our world,

Love waiting to be born,
to kiss our Souls,
to hold love close to our hearts; never letting go.

I love you with all my heart, princess.
I wish fate grants us the miracle,
of you holding me in your arms in this life,
or as a mother holding her newborn child in the next.

I will love you forever,
in this world and the next,
my dear Princess Love.

I've forgotten who I am,
Afraid of the days to come,

Memories drowning in a glass of soju,
Memories hiding in long shadows,
Crying out, telling me who I am,

Not listening,

I've forgotten who I am,
All the ghosts have disappeared,

The cold wind blows through the night,
Yet! I can't breathe, but still only yawn,

Afraid of the days to come,
With only a glass, filled with tears and lost memories.

In a blue sea, we are swimming,
With dolphins in shining moonlight,
Stars, shining, like snowflakes falling in her eyes,

In a blue sea,
Smiling, laughing,
My celestial Goddess and me.

Holding me deeply,
With her soft arms around me,
Never letting go.

She has me wrapped tightly.
Wrapped in her beauty and magic.

So in love,
I thought nothing could go wrong,
Until I woke up alone,
In a cold, empty bed at dawn.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Love came too quickly,
With cotton clouds flying across a blue sky,

Love came warmly,
Laying on a carpeted floor,
With a fire burning in front of us,

Love came in silence,
With a touch,
A strong embrace,

Love came freely,
With no commitments,

Love came with tears,
Tears filling, wine glasses,

Love left,
With a kiss blown,
That could never reach my lips,

Love left too quickly,
With storm clouds,
Flying across, gray skies...



Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Loving you is like the warmest coat, on a freezing winter's day,
Holding you in my arms; I  love listening to your breathing,
Your strong heart beating.

Oh beautiful Love,
My warm coat,
A beating heart in my arms,

So close to you love,
Like, only two Souls existing in time,
You're red lips and bright smile,

I want to kiss you, kiss you...
Feel so happy, like on a warm summer day,
Skies are blue,

Long walks, with you,
Singing and laughing,
At all the spring flowers and birds,

Oh love, how much I love you,
I want to kiss you, kiss you...

Hope,

Friendship,

Love,
True Love.

I've aways known that you were a warm breeze,
From the east.

That after a soft touch leaves only lost memories behind,

Back then;
Hope was standing by your side watching a bright sunrise,
Friendship was holding on to your soft hand,
Love was bright sunshine sparkling from your smile,

True love is remembering lost memories,
Sitting by your bedside,
Holding on to your soft hand so tightly,
Watching your smile sparkling in the sunshine,
Of our last sunrise.

You shine brightly in my dreams,
As you sleep next to me holding my hand,
As my Soul  passes through time, missing your sunshine,

Watching the universe,
Memories of you, reflecting in my eyes,
Hearing your throbbing  heart, raising my spirits high,

Seeing you, every night,
These are my,
Happiest and saddest times,

I wish in my heart,
As the sun rises,
To follow you home,

I think of you every day,
Dream of you every night,

I miss you, my Angel,
My love for you will never leave,
No matter how far away you are.

Fate tickles our hearts,
Fate whispers into our ears;
Making us fall in love with tears,
With Souls that we can never hold,

Too many years,
Too far away,

All we have to hold on to,
Are timeless love letters,
Telling us, of our dreams,


That,

We wish would come true.

Yet! The Universe is,
Magical and wondrous,
Where, miracles do happen every day.

Dreams can come true.

Cold Sunshine

The sun occupies my days,
From dawn to dusk,
Looking for bright days,

The sun shines bright,
But my days are always dark,

Lonely days,
Hearing your voice carried on the wind,
Telling me, not to give up,

Thinking still of you,
Remembering your hugs,
As my cold days slip away,

Remembering when you left,
My sunshine and happiness went away,
The day the sunshine became cold.

A long time waiting,
Waiting for sweet love,
Love to come home and restore my Soul,

Wishing alone, through bitterly cold nights,
Looking for your Soul, looking for a passage home,
Flying among the stars, hoping for dreams to come true,

Listening for your heart, lightly beating, in a flowing stream,
Like a warm breeze, gently kissing my cheek,
Is that you love?

Wondering how long,
Your spirit will be staying,
Wondering when this dream will be leaving?

Standing on a mountain top alone,
Looking at the mid-August night sky,
Seeing Heaven crying tears,

Tears carrying memories of you back to me,
It's so hard to erase the memories,
 We made together from my mind,

Each bright tear fills my heart with kind thoughts of you,
From our days past,

With you and me holding each other's Souls close,
We were always afraid to let go,
For if we did,
Our love would not last,

But, I'm still trying to hold on to you,
Should I feel guilty not letting you go?
Not letting anyone else's tears fill my heart?

How can I just let you go?
When I see falling stars each night, like Angels from Heaven,
Carrying messages from you,
Telling me not to let you go.
