Rose tattoo yes, you have one,
With a Rose on right thigh,
And an inked name of,
Your lifelong friend underneath,
One day you will have another,
Which will be that of your lover.

Into forever I see,
Looking above into night sky,
Beyond stars shining above,
There is forever.

When I escape behind my eyes,
There is a place I like to go,
In another dimension,
A place of time, space and color,
Of blue skies and sunshine,
Where field grasses move,
As fresh breezes drift,
A place which is far beyond,
Ordinary cares and chores.

She dances in my mind,
As she dances in her room,
Standing tall barefoot on carpet,
Twirling and whirling,
Round and round,
Images pass in her mirror,
As she flies round and round,
My lady dances in my mind.

When you are gone,
Closing my eyes,
I see you before me,
My imagination is acute,
But nothing like real you,
Then I look everywhere for you,
There is a place within,
Where you live in my heart,
I feel you alive with me,
Feel your breath upon me,
Feel your eyes pool into mine,
As I look into your forever eyes,
Eyes of silver misty blue,
There is nothing like being with you,
You bring me peace and thrill of you,
I love you, miss you, and need you.

Looking at my album,
Of a picture taken,
Long ago built,
Sandcastles,
Made from child dreams,
Of sand and water,
On a shore play day,
Using hand shovel and bucket,
Scooping sand,
Mixing with water,
Hands molding,
A child’s fort takes place,
With dreams of fierce battles,
Slowly afternoon tide comes in,
Washing against castle walls,
Reclaiming its precious sand,
Waves invade,
Hand prints disappear,
Molded mounds fall,
Those castle forms disappear,
Soon they become just a memory,
Forever caught,
In a Kodak moment,
Have you ever made a sandcastle?

For as long as I live,
Hour, days, or weeks of years,
I’ll remember friendship you give,
My soulmate of deep feelings,

Gentleness of your smiling face,
Softness of voice, heart of tempered steel,
Looking into your silver misty blue eyes,
You are an angel from another place,

Our time may be short or lengthy,
A future we just never know,
In my heart is where you may,
Turn your face and rest,

Over all of space and time,
From end to end beyond all miles,
Past dust of all time,
Your love speaks volumes to me.
