My Blog

We had it all, just like in the films
Or the most exquisite novel
Our love was sublime
Taken out of the mundane
To a level seldom experienced

My trust was total
My faith had no weak spot
I felt truly blessed, albeit after a wait
While I rode the breakers of life
And paid for my folly

Well worth the wait!
Your arms were my Shangri-La
I saw the universe in your eyes
And held the world in my touch
Eternity became reality

Then you were gone
Snatched kisses
Never dreaming the turning of the page
As your smiling face
Was lost to my view

On a starry night
When the frost is on the ground
And the moon is high in the sky
And magic is all around
There I stand by the trees.

When my life seems turned upside down,
and no one loves me but You.
It would be so easy to quit right there,
but I know You don’t want me to.

Though daily trials may be hard,
help me Lord, to see.
Remind me again that whatever comes,
You will take care of me.

So I won’t fret, but will live in joy,
no matter what comes my way.
Ever knowing that You’re in control,
each and every day.

Help me be patient, until you’re through,
do with my life what You will.
I know You’ll give me the strength I need,
up each and every hill.

Then later on and looking back,
when someone else feels this way.
I can take them by the hand,
and to them gently say.

Don’t be discouraged, He hasn’t forgotten.
He knows just what you feel.
Put your hand in His and trust Him now.
I KNOW our God is real!

If you make yourself realize this,
your troubles you can meet.
All you must do is trust in Him,
because He’s in the driver’s seat!

A deep sorry filled my heart last night.
I tried to review the recent events of my life.
I couldn’t recall but a few.

I feel better now.  Today will not be forgotten!

My Broken Heart

I told myself that God had forgotten me…
After a lifetime of pain and nights filled with loneliness
He had no one for me to love
Just move on, it will be ok.
And then I met you.

I knew it was all wrong,
But I looked into your beautiful eyes… and I let you in…
Into my heart, into my family, into my home.
You gave me hope when I had none.
A second chance.
You took my hand and let me think about
A life with a man who would love me and my children…

Fantasy… or foolishness?

It is so rare to find someone to connect with,
Someone to open up your heart to
When it finally, if ever, comes along, it should be cherished and prized.
Love so sweet that the night is not long enough for all the kisses to be shared.
I always said that after a lifetime of looking
I would know him as soon as I met him.
I would know he was the one.
Hold on tight and don’t him let go.

But then,
You learned you were not free…
To love, to share, to plan, to care.
With each day you pulled farther away.
Your heart is now hard and filled with pain.
You shut me out, pushed me away.

WAIT! Come back! Please don’t leave me…
Hold me, kiss me, tell me it will be ok, what about the dreams we talked about?
The love we shared? The love still to be had and made?
Please don’t go… please.

This pain is just too much to bear. My heart aches for you.
I’m begging, pleading for just a small amount of your time.
To connect with you once more.
When did I become this way? Why did I become this way?
Surely being alone is less painful than the humiliation of
crying for a man who doesn’t want me.

Why God why? Haven’t I cried enough in my lifetime?
What transgression am I paying for?
How could you be so cruel?
I survived my dark night.

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn’t let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find

That’s when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart …
You had it all along

An eye is meant to see things,
The soul is here for its own joy.
A head has one use: for loving a true love.
Legs: to run after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
for learning what men have done and tried to do.
Mysteries are not to be solved. The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
in the looking comes back completely changed.
On the way to Mecca, many dangers: thieves,
the blowing sand, only camel’s milk to drink.
Still each pilgrim kisses the black stone there
with pure longing, feeling in the surface
the taste of the lips he wants.

This talk is like stamping new coins. They pile up,
while the real work is done outside
by someone digging in the ground.
