Love
Love is a thing
You can't see it nor can you touch it
But you sure can see and feel its effect
A deep affection that fills you joyfully
You are drunk on happiness
It's always understanding
To accept the good, the bad, and the weak
It has no cultural condition
It sees no boundary nor race
It's fearless and flawless
It just flows limitlessly
It's God's love
Nailed to the cross for you and me
It's in you and me
It's I love you and you and you and God
I am drunk on happiness
Because HE loves me unconditionally
Smile

loss,
The curtains on a somber evening fell
as weeping angels hush and pull me near;
assurances of love they softly tell,
to calm a soul who lost a love so dear.
Like ribbons on a memory I reach
to tie them all together in a bow,
now wrapped in every prayer that I beseech
and warmed within the heaven's lovely glow.
But, why are Cherished stolen from our midst
before we have a chance to say goodbye -
regrets for one last time we could have kissed
or even one last time we could have cried.
Yet, still through angel tears that damp the dawn,
I can't accept the thought that you are gone...

happiness, introspection, life, love, marriage, relationship, soulmate,
Like clouds drifting through a sun-brightened sky,
My thoughts start to ask, where, what, when and why.
Why am I here with you, what must I do?
How do I determine what’s really true?
Love offers something we can hold on to,
You pledge to me, as I pledge love to you.
We’ll give as freely as we will receive,
Accept the oneness in which we believe.
Peace is embellished by those who are quiet,
Living in the present, no end in sight.
Forget your past, all happiness and strife,
Easing tension like slicing with a knife.
This is the way to live a mindful life.
Two living as one as husband and wife.

dedication, on writing and words
His talent as a Bard explodes
From an exquisite mind it flows
Through an instrument of script
Flooding parchment reverberating
Through the psyche creating waves
Reaching the far ends of the universe
Words of truth deep sentiment flourish
Propelling legitimate personal emotions
Giving due praise to brave loyal and true
To God nature his love and fellow Bards and
The magnificent highlands he loves so well
Always uplifting inspiring and sharing
Accept this tribute from an amateur a friend
With gratitude for reading commenting for
Being just who you are, The Highlander

God touches us with healing hands
if we will just believe
he’ll take away our every pain
our sorrows when we grieve.
He’ll hold us in his loving arms
and wipe away our tears
and in the darkest part of night
he’ll ease all of our fears.
For God the Father’s love is pure
much purer than the snow
and when we accept him in our hearts
it’s then that we will know
that no other love can ever compare
to the love we feel inside
for a father who loved us all so much
that upon a cross he died.
Even in our darkest hour
his love will light the way
so that we might have eternal life
with him in heaven someday.

"sealed with a kiss"
I wear pearls you gave me
but they are not my jewels
I accept flowers you give me
but they are not my beauty
I look to the stars above
but they are not my light
pearls flowers and stars
are all pale compared to you
your love is more than this
always sealed with a kiss

To love that which can not be loved
Is to accept grace from the Lord above
To hate that which should not be hated
Is to let one’s self be eternally degraded
To think that which should not be thought
Allows your own soul to be easily bought
Most things in life are very easy to see
If you hold simplistic views like me
“It is what it is” and it always was
The reason why, “Just because”
What shall happen shall come to pass
Accept it gracefully and show your class
As you live out the story of your today
Let Jesus Christ guide your way
In doing so you will be able to see
The Lord guiding you to eternity

So soft and colorful,
I simply stare at you,
Gratitude!
Love in totality, wordless
Blinks flashing your,
Cattitude!
You never correct me.
You just accept me, kind
Attitude.
Your snoring in my ear,
Erases all my fears,
Plentitude.
Walking with sweetness,
On God’s earth,
Beatitude!

There is an ease when l am with you

Never an awkward silence
Just a realness and honesty
No judgements made
You accept me completely
I am me and you are you
Just as love should be ….

I Can Not Change
I was born the way I am, I will not change.
Don't ask me to be - what I can not be. Accept
me the way I am.
If you love me - let me be and if you don't
then set me free. I can not change, my love
I give to you freely. From you, I will take only
what you want to give.
If we stay together - I will be true. If you leave
tomorrow, I will be sad, but I won't change for you,
or anyone else...

In the auction of love my heart is the star lot
The gavel will go down as Cupid’s arrow hit the spot
I fall on bended knee and offer you a diamond ring
Please accept it my beautiful Queen, and I’ll be your King

loss, lost love, lovelife, lonely,
It is but of your fire
That I whither to this pain
This lonely life of love bemired
This shouldered weight of blame
Oh love, fair love, return to me
The glory once inside
For if a chance there ever be
I accept and offer pride
Oh love, fair love, return to me
The dignity of self
For so it seems that in this dream
Beauty lies in stealth
Oh love, fair love, return to me
The rhythm of thy heart
A lonely beat is lost at sea
With a life torn apart

appreciation, beauty, dance, dream, for her, love, passion,
The lead you own; your charge I accept
Your feet lithe, my eyes mesmerized
My joy suppressed, hope found
Your hand in mine, my dream alive.
Points important, the moment more
As you glide, my wonder is nourished
A spectator, a partner; my roles, both
Your delicate motions, I relish.
Each step an accomplishment known
The first twirl, my fear shown
The second, aggravation grown
The beginning forgotten, but procrastination key
As the dip is done, my body is numbed
The end of an assessment; the loss of your grasp.

break up, conflict, heartbreak,
The storm that thundered is fading still
Reluctant to let go the reign of dark
But the nascent light behind the clouds
Unfolds the scene that's changing fast
On a happy note then she proceeds to allot
Augury of goodwill forgetting the past
And he sees things the way they used to be
Holding hands of love he finds her near him,
Not a blemish in view of his serene imagery--
Snuggling her closer, he reaches for a kiss
But gusty winds return razing his reverie
Blasting cold air on feelings of warmth
Taunting his dreams to accept the fact:
She's the one who unleashed the wrath

24 Hours
My observations are my own,
They are a product of my realm.
I see good people reveal humanity
I feel the desperation of an innocent man
I acknowledge the appreciation of my gift
I determine narration to be lies
I witness the love between mother and son
I loathe drunk drivers
I impose pride for vinyl collection
I depict pain in my son who lost his
Brother
Kids
Daddy
I let the lyrics of my spinning disc alter my mood
I experience the gift of empathy to share with a friend.
I receive gratitude for guidance I give to the addicted
I witness the numbing of pain
I accept rewards for my passions
The properties of today will navigate my path in life

faith, god, inspirational, me, heart, heart, me,
It’s not for me to say
What’s right and best for you
It’s not for me to judge
The things you say and do
It’s for your heart to gauge
And measure every step
It’s not for me to blame
And refuse to accept
Your heart is known to you
And mighty God alone
It’s not for me to point
And cast accusing stone
But is IS for me to LOVE
And treat you as a brother
For judgment is for God
And not for any other

absence, love,
when i die
the clocks will keep ticking
the earth will not mourn
even you my love will not miss a heartbeat
nor will you pause to hold your breath
all the warmth and emotion inside will escape me
the earth will accept me cold
and all this makes me wonder
will i be treasured inside you
even when memories of me grow faint
will you still see me in your surrounds
will you hear my voice
or will i my love,be no more
out of sight out of mind,,,,

bereavement, death, dream, longing, love,
In dreams I see you just like you are here,
the lonely years fade pale and drift away;
we are together in a distant sphere
beyond life’s disappointments and decay.
There, enjoying happy times we once knew
before death’s greedy sickle swept the grain
and left me longing for love’s rendezvous
in some glad tomorrow beyond earth’s pain.
I wake to mundane days as they are now,
blank and persistent sameness to my way;
I acquiesce to fate and humbly bow,
accept no partner in my sad ballet.
I shall wait; sodden skies must someday clear.
In dreams I see you just like you are here.

deathtime, me, time,
Place the coins over my eyes,
and lay me down to sleep.
This mortal coil has sprung its last,
its time for me to leave.
This time has been no time at all,
its true they say it flyes,
Id like to be a fly on the wall,
to see the truths and lies.
I was taught as a child that we die and move on,
but i refuse to accept that is true.
For as long as you live and as long as you love,
i will live on through you.

love,
I want to purify
my love for you,
cleanse it
of all expectations,
of all desires,
of all that is about me,
until it runs clear
like spring water
that I pour for you
when you are thirsty,
without asking
anything in return,
and you can
accept it from me
without second thoughts,
as you do not question
the spring that flows
in unconditional abundance.

forgiveness, love, me,
Heart aches a great deal.
Feeling the guilt' real.
Pouring through my eyes is tears;
Unable to put in words my fears.
Though am the partial wrong doer'
I wouldn't like to justify, as it is over.
And to you i sing this apology song,
As i cannot forget you for a second long,
For the mistake i committed, knowing,
Just avoiding your advices from following.
Frightened, that the love you bestowed would cease,
I plead you to forgive me and bestow your love in ease.
Punish me with word or hand.
Never ever band me from experiencing your love,
As you are my second mother,
And my heart gives no place to another.
Accept my apology!

devotion, faith, hope, love,
I bow my head,
I'm at your feet.
Can you see what is covering me?
I love you deep,
but love this more.
Can you still truly accept me?
My heart is buried,
beneath scars and wounds.
Can you still place your hand around it and hold it tight?
God I've struggled
with a world that I loathe and fear.
Can you somehow remove me from here?
I bow my head.
I'm at your feet.
Can you please heal me?

love, music, relationship,
I travel in time twenty-five years
And see my lover in the passenger seat
Shifting currents gliding us toward
The tangled fates that we must meet
So many reasons why to go
But I can't see beyond these walls of stone
The oceans between us only grow
And who we are truly can't be known
You hold out a tattered glove
And remember the coming winter chill
I scratch out your name on the wall
And meekly accept my morning pill
I will send you a thought like a butterfly
That at least we're both still alive
You will chase it away with a whispering hand
The very moment it does arrive
