I like the sound
Of my Christmas
Music boxes
Of various
Shapes and sounds
I wind them
Up each Christmas
But just enough
Twists and turns
So that I can
Rewind and play
Them
Again and again
And store the today's
Memories
For next year

My writer's block
Chiseled in my
Heart
Waiting for the
Write words to say
To place upon paper
My heart is full
Of aches and pains
Pleasures and sorrows
Happiness and sadness
My brain.yearns
For words
To write and say
My hand awaits
My pen.waiting
With caution
Be still my heart
Be still

Sadness is all.around
From early morning news
To nightly news
Yet in some
Deep hidden corner
Happiness is shared
Where no one .broadcasts

Just for a minute
Open up my soul to you
And let me soar high

We often seek love
with mind and logic
not knowing
that in its world
It lets us walk
on water,
It lets us see
the rainbows
in pitch-black darkness,
It takes us
to the moon and back
It fills the void
In our souls,
It lets us plant
the seeds of hope
In barren lands
Don't you see?
Nothing in this is rational
My Dear!
Everything in Love,
and its world is Magical...

Dreams appear to me
Like mist lifting
From the lake
I can't see too
Far ahead
I reach out
Yet there is nothing
To grasp at
How can i.retain
What I can't see
Or touch
My feet steady
On the ground
As reality hits the floor

I think of
You and you and you
Memories.we all
Shared
From days gone by
You a friend from high school
While you a friend
From work
You who betrayed me
You who made
Promises you
Never kept
You who I laughed
With
And cried with
But now you
Are gone
And you
Are gone
And you
Are gone
Silver and gold
Though our friendships
Have rusted with time
Our memories live
On.
Forever
