Moonlight Excursions

night-913046_960_720

Walking out under the stars

Left to ponder what is ahead

Wondering where you are

Trying to overcome my thoughts so dread

Upon a stream of glowing light

I look upon a dark sky above

My eyes take in a beautiful sight

I think of the one I love

A kiss to the heavens I send

I walk this trail alone

Hoping my heart reaches to you I pretend

All the way from here to home

I take these moonlight excursions

The rays of which fill me with aversion

To the pain I feel being apart

From the one who holds my heart.

Love Affair

10593107_911559682191607_4896015716373845940_n

What do you do when you are miles apart

Without you what shall I do

When I feel that pain within my heart

Wishing I was next to you

Upon a star I wish at night

Upon a prayer I wish I was there

Hearing your voice my heart takes flight

This story of our love affair

Built over time

Washing off so much grime

Trials and tribulations we have endured

A relationship that has matured

Upon these journeys we have created

The love we have both awaited

Changes

road-166543_960_720

Today marks an end

Having to say goodbye to so many friends

A change in life

Can bring so much strife

Uncertainties abound

Clarity often not found

Praying each day

That God will lead my way

An end to a chapter

One that was full of tears and laughter

A new journey I start

Following the call within my heart

A new road ahead

On wings of an eagle I am led

What a Difference a Year Makes

What a difference a year makes

Just twelve short months ago we were as far apart as the earth and the moon

Both hidden inside ourselves

Ready for it all to end

A love we thought built to last

A union of two coming to past

Miracles we soon learned do exist

At a bottom, our relationship did almost land

But two hearts were taken in hand

A hand of God placed upon us

Light of the world shown into our lives

Rising out of that dark place we had settled

Day by day we learned to love one another

A truer more deeper love than we had known before

Doubts were always on the horizon, challenges still lay in our path

Fighting for what we had begun so many years ago had just begun

Good days and bad, we made it through

Now ahead lays the biggest challenge we will face

Just know that my heart burns only for you

You are my love, my life, my one true bright shining star

Just twelve short months ago, I know it would have ended in ruins

But know now my heart and soul rests with you and yours with me

Wherever I go, here my heart will be

A future of brightness we have ahead

Adventures and journeys together we shall share

Know my love for you knows no bounds

No height, no depth will keep me from being around

For what a difference a year makes between us

How Do You Heal a Hurt

patch-2328289_960_720

How do you heal a hurt

A pain that is ever present

Knowing that what causes it will never go away

How do you fix an injury to the soul

A deep scar that is always there

Flaring up when they are least aware

Sometimes a hug or a word are enough of a salve

To put out the fire of that deep painful ache

How do you help the one you love

Whatever the solution I have yet to find

But I will never stop until the end of time

Waiting

underground-1715279_960_720

Upon a dream I wait

Voices in my head drive my doubt

Telling me it will never happen

Why do you believe you deserve this outcome

Trying to push them out

Anxiety takes hold

I try to stay bold

My heart says all will be as willed

Upon peace it shall be filled

Agonizing over the ticking of the clock

Pushing against a giant rock

Knowing that God is at work

Upon his path I shall wait

Not easy to stand still within the storm

Praying that word shall come down soon

Waiting like a cowboy for high noon

Distance

aircraft-1836360_960_720

The thought of us being apart

Wears upon my fragile heart

But I know no matter how hard it may be

It will always be you and me

Our hearts will always be mended as one

Until our days on earth are done

The flame within our hearts will burn bright

Whatever the distance between us two

My heart will only beat for you

When loneliness becomes overbearing

Look upon the skies and stars we are sharing

Call my name upon the wind

With our souls intertwined

Answering back with a whisper between our souls

Sending my love back to you

Old Soldier

soldiers-856034_960_720

When do you realize it is time to settle

Taking your foot off the peddle

Deciding that it’s time to step back

When you are young you look forward to what comes next

Always pushing yourself to reach a higher level

Moving on from one opportunity to another

When is it time to realize those opportunities are dwindling

Time waits for no man they say

So when will I know that day

Taking that one last attempt

To continue a career that you love

So much says it is time to quit

Enjoy what you have done and stop doing it

Move onto the next stage of your life

Your body is full of aches and pains

Mind not as sharp, but still there most of the time

I am a soldier that is what I have known for over twenty-one years

Not done in my heart or in my head

A few good years left inside this old soul

Proving again to myself of my worth

What happens to old soldiers when it is time to go

As it was once said

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

Skype Date

man-949058_960_720

The screen flickers on

Sounds of a machine coming to life

Putting in my password

Waiting for everything to load

Updates, scans, this that and another

Finally I can open up the program that brings you into view

Seeing you sitting there, with a smile that melts my heart

An excitement inside me whenever my eyes fall upon you

Sitting so pretty and a smile that takes my breath away

Wishing you were back home now

Sitting here instead of there

I begin to say Hi

But no sound comes out on your side

Alas, not all is perfect here in Skype world

So just being able to see you is all I will get

Sexy, smoking hot and looking so lovely to boot.

Hurry home, it’s been to long

My love, my life, my one and only….

Empty Bed

sleep-839358_960_720

An empty bed awaits me tonight

Wishing you were here by my side

Tossing and turning unable to sleep

Missing the sensation of you near

Your scent lingers in the air

Wanting to reach out and feel your embrace

Missing that touch of lace

Seeing your face in my dreams

Anticipating the day you return

Where into your arms I will lay

In our bed where we will play

So hurry back to where you belong

My heart waits to play you its song
