Spring Breeze Calling

Like a single seagull flying over a distant land

she seeks for he who would be waiting for her

Lonely wings barely held her in the air as she searched

unable to find him on the ground below a gray sky

As a heart so wounded felt destined to give up

it discovers a fragrance in a Spring breeze calling…

She heard the tune of her love as he searched for her

longing for the caress that would comfort his heart

The song found her over the sounds of crashing waves

with words formed like a melody from a hollowed-out flute

His yearning heart  found her beyond the clouds above

and sang her name through the tears rolling down his face…

Their embrace told a story no words could ever express.

Written in the Stars

When two beating hearts claim each other

no stranger can penetrate that powerful force

It was written in the stars from the beginning

and a golden ring of love surrounds us through eternity

I will never leave you, nor will I ever break our vows

for my passionate heart would break without you

All I cherish and want is what you have given me already

and through life and through death will our story remain

because some stories, like ours, were never meant to end.

Ours was a rare fairytale, made to be told through the ages…

My One True Love

Every beautiful memory has you in it

You fill my heart like an unforgettable melody

that plays over and over in my head

You are, and will always be my one true love

and in your arms will be where I will remain

In my darkest moments you are the light that saves me

and our life together is effortless and comfortable

I have no other wants in life but you

and my heart will never belong to anyone else

We have shared many dream over the years

and you have shielded me from any harm

I will never ask you for more than your love

You are the most beautiful colors of true love

which I will keep tucked in my heart through eternity.

With love always…
