...and love spoke.

I have walked this path before, climbed the mountains, swam the sea and felt your love infused in me. When soft and gentlewinds blow, it tickles the heart and kisses the soul, and embraces with out much of a hold. Unleash the restraints of this earthly ground and free my soul to soar beyond the clouds. I have walked this path before, climbed the mountains, swam the sea and felt your love infused in me. For when the end is certainly near, I'll know that someone truly cared.

To live,
love,
dream
and be,
to embrace for all eternity.

Mylan Park West Virginia

I am far from ready for the busy season that is quickly approaching. Focused and not, as I try to prepare. Up at 4 am I found the weather perfect around 70 with very little humidity, and quite as everyone was sleeping. I managed to get some labeling finished and place in jars some home grown herbal scrubs.
I was hoping to work on a few paintings and my writing, but there just never seems to be enough time in a day, so something has to give. Either way I am ready for a fun season and hope again to meet up with some old friends and new.
We have added new products to our line, invested in the wonders of Emu oil and have created even more products with homegrown herbs, pesticide and herbicide free.
Where at Mylan Park in West Virginia Saturday for the great Rib Fest and looks to be wonderful weather.

It might just be that I allowed fear to flow
from where only love had existed.
A physical bond on earth's limited time, can't compare to the embrace beyond body and mind. A spiritual crossing in the sky of blue, where I'll be waiting each night to hold on to you.

Leaving at midnight

Preparing for the memorial day event, I think I am over anxious. As I pack I keep saying just one more, one more poem, one more skincare product, just one more. This event is a little further than any I have traveled previously for one day that is. Gas prices soaring inflates the overhead in a small business. I remind myself that there is always something special about each event that is not connected to the monetary value, but as rewarding as those momemts are they don't pay the bills, so simply that my overhead is higher, I wonder if the economy will alter the outcome of sales.
I'm wrapping things up about now, labeling my last few bottles of lotion and telling myself no more that what I have will be enough. Redding up and trying to organize, I gazed out the diningroom window at the sunshine. The weather is beautiful and for travel I know that I am already blessed.
I can't seem to stop my mind from wondering where your at, what your doing and if your day is going well.Wanting to feel your arms around me and rest. Funny thing is I am up early every morning and this morning when I needed to be up, I just seem to not be able to move, five more minutes I kept saying to myself.
I went to feed the ducks, and found one of the female ducks is injured,seems she broke a leg and can't get to the feed so I took feed down to her. I always hate when something like that happens she is now even more vulnerable to predators.
I am getting ready to formatt some poetry and I just needed this time to connect to you and relax a few, bring my body and mind into some kind of balance. Though I feel like yes and no that I am calming down a bit and not.
If there is away to allow you to feel my love today, then may the heavens reach out and embrace you with my love. May the sun remind your heart of the warmth we share and the skies of blue drape your day with happiness and joy...be well

Partner in life, Partner in love...


I saw it in the mountains and down by the stream,
the images of love reflecting what you mean to me.
~
Spring time snow couldn't put out the fire, the
warmth of your flames blazes through the hour.
~
No truer love could there ever be, as your
embrace is felt so tenderly.
~
Reality of dreams is cast by the heart, to dance
to songs of love amongst the midnight stars.
~
Welcome home... my heart was open and my soul was waiting.
~
I need not question, nor not believe,
for it was known that kindred spirits
met when you reached out to me.
~
I want to hold you tonight and
listen to the beat of your heart,
as your spirit rest peacefully,
in my embrace.
~
Angels of heaven hear my plea,
my heart and soul dance restlessly.
Guide his hands to gently trace ,
the love of life within him placed.
~
Allow his lips to feel my kiss and
taste the sweetness of honey bliss.
As his eyes begin to close, whisper
softly I love him so.
~
Darkness drape the night and turn
on the brightness of the stars of high.
My arms opened, my spirit free,
awaits his love for eternity.

We don't always know what is good for us, but we do know what feels good.

There are many kinds of expression love and even lust. I have compared it to the candy stores of the past, you know what you want behind that glass case but you know what you can buy. Sometimes I am flustered by my own emotions, not that they control but that they pull at these strings deep inside. I have had a chance to experience many emotions in this current chapter of my life, so much so that I have been a spirit of all ages and with out the minds clarity I allowed my heart to lead me. It is the missing pieces of life that are found and laid in place. At sixteen your heart is open and your learning but your leery and you step without thinking. I remember my first kiss it was a one time date and he walked me to the door, I think he was as nervous as I was he pulled me close still holding my hand and he gave me this really quick kiss. We went to different schools and I never had a second date with him, as someone else was stepping quickly into my life. The next date the kiss was deadly filled with passion, I remember being without thought, this is just to good and I remembering thinking no, no.... yesssss.
There was a country song that came out at the time " I never promised you a rose garden" but ouch I didn't expect all those thorns without the rose. So much for stepping back as I move forward I feel my heart expanded from the love that I have been given. Magical and wonderful and yet there so much I want to do and experience and I ask that the Lord guide me. One look at the dreadful news on the front page and I am more aware of why I write about love and romance. This is what I have been given the gift to do, to give a platform to love, to share and allow it to grow and circle the world with what I feel each morning in my heart. There is such beauty and such power in love that it has the ability to overcome all obstacles. In a humorous way we joke about the calender men and the truth is that those who cross our path bring with them lessons and a magic all of their own. Without the experience we would be empty inside, a vessel without a message. The words are a small representation of how important the various stages of life have been...
Sings>
It’s what you do to me baby; every time I’m near you I go crazy.
Your hands on my picture did the tracing; my mind did all the racing.

It’s what you do to me baby; every time I’m near you I go crazy.
Sweet tender touch could be felt, as you gently caused my heart to melt.

It’s what you do to me baby; every time I’m near you I go crazy.
My body quivers, at the thought of what your soul delivers.

It’s what you do to me baby, every time I’m near you I go crazy.
The images are forever, the song of love keeps getting better.

It’s what you do to me baby, every time I’m near you I go crazy.
You changed my life like a play, directed and choreographed all the way.

It’s what you do to me baby, every time I’m near you I go crazy.
The charming way you tease me, I some how find so pleasing.

It’s what you dot to me baby, every time I’m near I go crazy…..

I Love How You Love Me- Bobby Vinton

but darling most of all ... I love how you love me.

Friday, January 25, 2008

I can...

When the world around you flows gently in the breeze
touching you with kindness, the hearts shadows the
beauty and reflects in the sun's rays the joy of life.
~

It is true that we have, we will and we can.

Live and love every second of life.
~

I can

With your embrace both near and far,
I can conquer when loneliness comes to call.
~
With your smile so warm and bright, I can
challenge the daily fight.
~
When truth a path through thicket clears
all the answers soon a appear.
~
When dreams comfront at realities door
it's time for us to re-explore.

Inspire Me!

On The Marble Floor

Heel tapping on the marble floor,
only spirit is mine and yours.
~
Everyday a little bit more, of love
and laughter from my favorite shore.
~
Heel tapping and we're hand and hand,
friends dreaming from land to land.
~
Each night it all comes true, when I
close my eyes and I'm there with you.
~
Crazy in our own right, some might say
we are an amazing sight.
~
Dancing on those marble floors, a little
closer and we're through the door.
~
Arm and arm I'll walk with you,
through any sky, gray or blue.
~
I wait each morning to awake, to
hear your voice as it removes the
shakes.
~
Lips to lips might be a dream but
heart to heart is reality.
Caught between a promise and reality,

one based on dreams and the other on

wind blown debris.

~

Toying with my heart I can barely see,

a top the mountains and beyond the sea.

~

Ping, pang goes my heart, you had control

from the very start.

~

Tracing trouble from you to me had me

falling on my knees.

~

Begging you to never disappear, I don't know

what I'd do if you were never here.
