I don’t understand
Tell me why?
I touch your hand
I touch your face
I touch your lips
I touch your hair
I get no where
Tell me why?
You don’t touch me with your heart
Listen to your heart
Why can’t I touch your heart?

274-Life is brief Love is Long
I dry my eyes from idle tears
While the daffodils bend under the crimson sky
And the winds whistle through a darken sky
While the moon gazes and winks as it passes by
The sparrow covers its newly hatched eggs
As the high cirrus clouds cry out, “You can’t Denie”
Life is brief
Love is long
Follow the signs
To where you belong

Love is life”

272 – No destiny No Fate No Luck No love
I picture your face
I reflect on your eyes
The sound of your laughter
I heard your sighs
I remember two straws in a coke
Our hands across the booth
I remember the jute box
Playing our favorite song
But times they do change
And so did you
It was not our job to control destiny
It was not our job to control fate
It was not our job to create luck
You drifted away
And it was too late
I was so wrong
To string you along
You were always there
willing to share
I took advantage of your love
I thought we were a pair
You would wait
and still be here
My timing was off
I opened the door
and you were gone
No whisper
No sound
Never to return
A lesson learned
Waiting for tomorrow
May only bring you sorrow
269 – The Love Jar
An empty jar
Full of love
Full of dreams
But nothing as it seems
An empty jar
Filled with time
Memories of love
Left behind
An empty jar
Filled with tears
Of a romance
Of promises
That disappeared
An empty jar
Full of conflicting thoughts
Moments unwind
Left behind
A broken jar
Beginning to crack
No time to stop
No turning back
A shattered jar
Scattered on the floor
Pieces of love
Never to be seen anymore

244 – Take Me Back
267 Call Me when You:
Sense sorrow
Need a friend
Taste loneliness
Need a touch
Can’t sleep
You weep
Need to share
Need a hug
feel forsaken
Call me
As soon as
Love awakens
264 – Whistling in the dark
The flame has dwindled
Leaving only a spark
Does it still rekindle?
Or am I just whistling in the dark
You loved me once
Will you love me again?
The burn has left its mark
Am I still whistling in the dark?
Up from the ashes
Rises a flame
A burning desire
A consuming fire
Or just a brush?
What a bust
Finding myself whistling in the dark
Wil the phoenix rise?
Only to recognize
That love is a compromise
I wasn’t willing to share
A twist A lark
Will I forever be whistling in the dark?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
‘Tell me darling is there still a spark?
Or only ashes of the flame we knew.
Should I go whistling in the dark?…”

“Serenade in Blue”

226 – Sempre Fine
When does love begin?
When does love end?
Is love forever?
Or never- ever?
Past present future
Yesterday today tomorrow
It’s here where forever lies
Where love forever abides
Is love?
Unchangeable
Unrequited
Unconditional
Unrepentant
Does love’s arc
Ever parallel your reality?
Does the past
kiss the present?
Does the preset
Hold the future?
How long does your forever last?
Is there a forever and a day?
Ageless love
Timeless love
Un sempre per amore
Sempre fine

ti amore per sempre
025 – Another Place Another Time
She watched me off with another
A longing in her heart to be my lover
Her lips remained silent her eyes an occasional glance
A love denied never a chance
The pain of remembering A love locked away
A love in limbo promised for another day
Tears kept in a bottle dreams kept on hold
Solitary nights thoughts without ever so cold
A love that lingers is a love forever
It never forgets to remind
For unforgotten love is a love forever-never
A lover’s haunt played in rewind
Over time the heart remains fast
It carries love’s burden always in mime
Memories and dreams locked in the past
Waiting for the moment to come together
Another Place Another Time
021 – A fool’s Love
Am I a fool for still loving her?
I was a fool for handing her my heart
Maybe it’s because I loved her too much
To love her any less wound tear me apart
I grieve for a love I can never have
A love that I once held in my arms
A love that only a fool would understand
A special love between a woman and a man
Fools hold on to dreams to beautiful to last
Never knowing in their hearts that they may pass
Fools hold on to love no matter how it seems
To let go would leave an emptiness full of forgotten dreams
Although A fool soon learns that with love comes pain
A fool’s heart will still go on
Searching for another love to dream of
For without love a fool’s heart cries in vain
But fools sometimes turn wise
Playing games that only wise men play
But they soon realize
That a fool’s love is the only love that survives
