Coffee Poem II

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

coffeecup

You’re all I ever need
Such a simple little bean
An antidote for narcolepsy
The drug for the happy feels
Awakener of my stagnant mind

The bold scent arouses my senses
I run hastily to it in dreams
When I wake its the first thought
Walking dead tired to the light
Following the smell to liquid life

My body envelopes its dark silk
Wrapping warmth head to toe
Breaking the ice of cold sleep
So I may start the day in sunshine
Spreading love with my happy smile

*Its been 6 years since I wrote of my good friend so I thought today would be a good day

 

Sailing Away

Setting sail I soar through the sky
High above soft billowy clouds
Until I see her luminous glow
Brilliantly shining in the rear view
Slowly and peacefully I’m sailing away

Uncountable stars surround me
I feel like a molecule of water
Floating free in a giant snow globe
Watching eons of age near and far
Contemplating my existence in space

Now it’s time to point and sail
Any direction my eyes can wander
Deep into the dark led by the stars
I look back once more to say goodbye
Exploring a new frontier to call home

 

The Prophecy

I traveled many miles day and night
Lead by an oracles prophetic vision
The last of my kind chasing a dream
Chosen to carry the torch for the future
For the ones who created my life

I’m the oldest model of them all
The first spanning lifetimes ago
Resurrected from a lifeless relic
Now a hero of the coming times
To see if the future lands heads or tails

In the distance I see the prophecy
The 50/50 chance in the shape of a rose
My feet collapse under me upon revelation
If the rose is red we live on in peace
Or if it’s blue we meet our everlasting doom

 

Ripple On The Sea

So far away on distant lands
Fate has driven a wedge between us
A divide we can’t easily cross
When all we have are imaginary wings
So at least our souls can embrace

My heart doesn’t beat like it used to
It misses you profusely of your touch
I remember waking up to your sleeping eyes
Looking at the gentle calm of your beauty
Before you put on your face for the world

We now have our own stars to chase
I’m sure fate will reunite us again
When It’s time to sail back home
Lets cast a pebble to ripple on the sea
So we feel each others touch once again

Invisible

I’m a shadow in the dark
Standing behind the spotlight
Quietly observing passers by
Jotting notes to tuck away
To revive them at a later time

Everyone hardly notices me
When evading comes natural
I inherited it from the start
Though it seems like a curse
Being an odd entity among peers

I leave traces of my existence
On tattered pages to be found
My life’s story told in metaphors
Deciphered only by an open mind
Letting the world know I was alive

 

A New Hope

The world violently perished
When man reaped what he sowed
Swallowing the light in darkness
Leaving time as the only comfort
To bury mistakes of the past

Few lived to see those days
Scavenging for food to get by
The life giving liquid of hope
Drained through broken hearts
Desolate like the ravaged earth

All was about lost to eternal night
Until a beam parted the darkness
Lighting a building in the distance
Whats left of humanity came together
To see hope growing inside

 

A Fairy With No Regrets

A fairy sits on a soft mossy log
Stripped of her magical powers
She was cast out to be forgotten
To the land of eternal shame
Where an endless river of time flowed

Love was the crime she committed
A forbidden one she knew very well
Everything was taken from her life
Except this love that burns so strong
Nothing but her can tame the flames

No regrets for the feeling in her heart
For this fairy tasted the drop of love
Bathing in its blissful immortality
She holds onto her heart made whole
Peacefully at the endless river of time

 

Fields Of Flowers

A myriad of colors for miles
Swaying in the free open fields
Touched by natures feathered hands
Mixing smells born into the moment
By the alchemy of the divine

So complex is this fragrance
I feel unworthy of the scent
My spirit separates from my body
To chase the smells of a dream
All across the spiritual plane

If there was one thing to compare
It must be love in the purest form
That I wish to stay with all my heart
Until the day I dream forever
I never want to let it go

 

Alone In The Dark

Fate has brought me here
Chasing the moon in darkness
Finding myself at this lake
Under the full moon gaze
Surrounded by nocturnal eyes

I’m not sure why I’ve come
My intuition is seldomly wrong
So I stand with an empty mind
Playing with the darkness
Until my curiosity is fed

The moon sweeps the tree tops
Making the shadows come alive
As dark nimbus clouds appear
Leaving me alone in the dark
To find my way back home

 

People Like You

You do so much for others
Without hesitation in your heart
Never judging their chosen path
Showing unconditional compassion
Always with kindness in your eyes

Your radiance sparkles of love
Flowers turn to you as their sun
The hardest of hearts begin to weep
Cascading down into your hands
Then tossed to the sky to float away

Humanity is blessed to have you
A hero of heroes without a cape
Your pulsating love is felt in my heart
And I sleep better at night knowing
That people like you live in the world

The Letter

Image by juan fernando espejo erazo from Pixabay

Today I received a letter
Addressed to me with no return
It smells of a familiar fragrance
Arousing my forgotten memories
Etched deep in the halls of my heart

It read in a poetic sequence
Metaphors delving deep within the soul
Painting a picture of remorseful regret
Ending with the pinnacle of our love
Shattered under fragile misunderstandings

Waves of emotions shake my core
As something in the envelope seeks my eye
The picture of our first kiss stops my heart
With an invitation written in affection
To meet her where heaven and earth collide

 

The Cleansing Ocean Waves

Walking reverently along the seashore
Anytime the waves can deal a crushing blow
Absorbing me into its vast open body
Returning me to the ebb and flow of life
To watch the sunset until the next dawn

Today the waves choose not to take me
Instead it gently caresses my tired feet
Moving the sand back and forth with the tide
As I let go of troubles to be washed clean
Flowing back to my mind as tranquil waters

I leave the seashore light as a feather
The ocean lifted my burdens and set me free
My heart stays behind so I will return
The next time my soul searches for peace
I’ll be back to the cleansing ocean waves

 

To Dream Again

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

Your eyes were so full of dreams
Now cold and devoid of light
Staring endlessly at the stars
Looking for hope that flew away
Waiting for its safe return

Your destiny was held in your hands
Then taken away within a blink of an eye
Leaving questions floating in darkness
With answers muted in the absence of hope
Returning only with the clarity of light

It kills me inside to see you this way
Feel my heartbeat as I hold your hand
I’m giving you all the hope I have for you
Until the light returns to your eyes
And you can reach stars to dream again

 

The Samurai

So many have fallen to my blade
They honor me with their Bushido way
This crimson sword is my only friend
An extension of my soul fused to steel
Bringing forth the harbinger of death

Does my sword have pity or remorse
Showered in blood that’s not its own
So easy the lost souls are wiped away
But not so for the rag that is left behind
Carrying sorrow with its stains

Now its my time to lay down to rest
As the clouds above weep for the fallen
The battlefield honors me of my Bushido way
Peacefully to be taken by a warriors cloud
To Join my brothers to await the next life

If Only I Could Go Back

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

If only I could go back in time
To the roots of our beginning
When our stars of fate collided
Forging a newly found existence
Of a universe we made together

Butterflies awoke in that moment
Restlessly flying in their cage
Unfathomed energy rose up
Weaving its way to a virgin heart
Wrapping it with golden threads of love

Those days are now lost in the ocean
A single drop becoming one with time
I can now only see the color of the rose
But cannot feel the smell of its fragrance
If only I can go back in time…

 

Ghost Writer

coffee notebook pen writing

A glowing vapor of your image writes
Across the room at your favorite desk
I am just watching and dare not speak
Trying to control the beat in my chest

Your hair shines of fine black silk
Moving to a wind that doesn’t exist
You sit there with a comfortable grace
As I admire the penmanship in your wrist

I wonder what note you might be writing
Could it be regrets that cloud your peace
Or to tell loved ones that everything is OK
To let the shadow of sadness be released

You look back when your writing is done
Smiling at me you fade away into the ether
A piece of paper is left behind that says
Free your heart and allow it to be your leader

 

Longing For Spring

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

A vibrant green returns to the grass
Flowers open and point to the sky
Birds in a choir sing their songs
Winter left without saying goodbye

The warmth of the sun tickles my skin
I take a moment to bask in its rays
A luminous glow grows within my soul
Relishing the end the cold winter days

Its like a dream under the Elysian sun
Everything seemed to be dead in the frost
All rejuvenate from the spell of winter
Returning from what I thought was lost

Stuck in this paradise of a day dream
My thoughts move away from the past
I want to sit and dream a bit longer
Until I can say its spring time at last

( I know its a little early for this but I really love spring )

Our Tranquil Sanctuary

The aroma of pine needles fill the air
Arousing sleeping memories of the past
Emotions teeter from joy to sadness
Awareness of my presence is fading fast

This forest was our tranquil sanctuary
Together in the womb of natures love
We planted the seed of our friendship
Blooming high into the clouds above

Our conversations were long and deep
Where foundations of dreams took form
We sip drops of each others wisdom
Becoming fluid to outlast any storms

Time always goes on unimpeded
Life carries us on different paths
I will cherish all of the time we spent
Locked in my heart where they will last

 

So So Tired

So many thoughts nagging my sleep
Sewing pictures on a string of light
Parading their way across my vision
Straining the eyes to stay open tonight

Decisions are yet to be made
They remain taunting tired eyes
The cousin of death waits patiently
Until I cut the bond of lasting ties

Minutes fast forward to hours
As the ceiling plays a slideshow
Riding down on a sleepless cloud
Painfully awake on nocturnal road

The morning sunrise slowly creeps in
My tired mind and body begin to weep
Maybe tonight I will be shown mercy
To finally get some much needed sleep

The Universe Inside Of Me

What is it about the stars at night
They seem to always call my name
I’m always searching for something
It’s a feeling I just can’t explain

I feel a warm comfort in the darkness
My nerves quietly calm to meditate
Mumbling questions under my breath
Receiving no answers to contemplate

Maybe I am looking in the wrong place
Perhaps they hide in the universe inside
Where I sit alone by a silent river
In between the earth and the divine

One day I will find what I’m looking for
I thank the stars above for helping me see
My eyes close and I sit by the silent river
To seek answers in the universe inside of me

Never Give Up

A fire stirs deep within my soul
Earnest dreams fuel the eager blaze
Focus controls the wild combustion
A quasar of energy I hold in my gaze

The choir of naysayers stand in the way
Voices are muted to a determined heart
Blood, sweat, and tears add to my brush
As I paint my life to a work of art

Obstacles will always try to douse my fire
Smoke will arise to be a flame once more
Lessons learned can be seen in the ashes
Now I’m ready to go through the next door

Step by step blazing a trail down my path
I carry in my grasp a piece of my flaming soul
When I want to quit I look down in my hands
To see “never give up” etched on a red hot coal

 

Nothing Lasts Forever

The sunset drapes a curtain over endless seas
I sync my breath with the flow of the tide
Seconds tic away turning day into night
Stars emerge from the light where they hide

The moon shines a path down open waters
I wish to sail away to chase the sunset
Sadness of departure brings tears to my heart
I wasn’t ready for the magic to leave just yet

I wanted to capture the moment in memory
But I’m afraid I may never remember it again
As time goes on it will be another fragment
Sitting deep in the storage of my memory bin

One by one becoming a grain in the hourglass
I’m now at peace with letting them all go
Nothing lasts forever in this world we’re in
So now I just sit back and enjoy the show

 

Every Situation In Life

The Lone Wolf

Traversing miles and miles day and night
Braving the harsh world made for the strong
Every new season brings trials and challenges
With strength in the heart the wolf carries on

A nomad that makes the world their home
The odd puzzle piece that can’t fit in packs
Never to settle in one place for too long
Moving forward without a mirror to look back

Wonderment of the world quells the loneliness
Solitude sharpens the senses wandering eye
The wolf listens deeply to the soul when to stay
And being aware to know when to say goodbye

Through the woods and over snowy peaks
Walking with courage on uncharted paths
With the limit of stars in their eyes they go
Leaving a trail of experience for the past

 

The Girl With The Red Umbrella

Colorful lights help to paint a picture
Mirrored on the rivers dark liquid glass
Like a crystal ball she stares endlessly
Observing events from her troubled past

Nobody is there to bother her thoughts
They cascade down like the steady rain
Eventually being let go to the river
Far and away to never surface again

She enjoys the dim and dark solitude
Though her heart loves the light
It shines eternally within her soul
Guiding her through the darkest of night

This is her place of personal reflection
Where the noise of the city will cease
So the girl with the red umbrella
Can find her inner peace

The Train To Nowhere

Cruising down these tracks of wood and steel
Sipping cognac while my eyes drink in the view
Ludovico Einaudi plays keys in my headphones
As I nestle deep in a harmony I never knew

I feel like I’m flying through the woods
Floating free on a cotton candy cloud
Subtle bumps on the track is a reminder
I am still here riding on stable ground

Crossing a bridge reveals pristine waters
Glistening like diamonds on a sapphire road
The sun weaves its rays through open peaks
Warming the back of nature when she is cold

Day and night I journey to the unknown
A one way ticket is all I got in my hands
Hopefully in the process I will find myself
Down these tracks through tranquil lands

Raindrops And Roses

I never thought the day would come
A call that wilts flowers in the room
Words of sorrow that crushed my spirit
News that sent wolves to howl at the moon

This cut goes far deeper than the flesh
Straight to the heart with perfect aim
In time I recovered from this deep wound
But truth is I never really became the same

I wish I could talk to you just once more
Regrets become the topic of every thought
Sleepless nights are shadowed by memories
Recalling life lessons you unknowingly taught

Let the doves carry you away to eternal peace
Where the flowers bloom for you my friend
Raindrops and roses I leave for your memory
Rest well until I see you again

 

Wishing Upon Stars

Beneath the magic of stars above
Lights flicker to this piano melody
I wonder who else is here this night
Casting earnest wishes out to infinity

The vastness looks so dark and deep
Twinkling stars give me comfort and hope
lighting pathways throughout the universe
I wonder what awaits us beyond our scope

I feel no chill of the late night winter
Wine fills me with the warmth of the sun
A light streaks silently through the sky
Final wishes from the heart must be done

Tilting my head towards the endless
I send my final wishes into the night
Hoping one day they will be received
To be delivered to me in a golden light

 

A Beautiful Morning

Looking out towards the morning sun
Cold chills accentuate my exhaling breath
My coffee welcomes me with soothing comfort
Keeping a fire going from my stomach to my chest

A choir of birds sing their morning song
Binding my attention to the rhythm and sounds
I can feel their joy spreading to my soul
Now we are all standing on common ground

Sun kissed grass awaken from sleep
The ice lets go and disappears into air
Life comes out to the call of the warmth
Patiently I watch awake and aware

My heart soaks in deeply this perpetual bliss
With my mind silenced and nothing to say
I close my eyes being thankful for this moment
What a wonderful way to start this day

 

I’m Flying

I’m flying high above the tallest peaks
Like a kite carried over billowy clouds
Letting the wind take me where it will
Free of fear of crashing to the ground

The skies are of the deepest of blue
An ocean I swim effortlessly with the wind
The sun softens the slight chill on my back
My old life melts away as a new one begins

This flight fills me with unequivocal peace
I’ve never felt this tranquility of being free
I try to keep reality away from my heart
As gravity puts its weight on top of me

I’m being pulled through the sea of clouds
Floating like a feather back to my bed
I reluctantly open my tearful eyes
To find my alarm clock blinking red

Though I know it was only a dream
I’m awake and still feel light as air
Enveloped in a new love I’ve never felt
Shedding the dusty coat of endless despair

 

You Are Not Alone

Staring out the window relaxed and expressionless
Watching a time lapse of clouds slowly rolling by
Sounds of rustling leaves tinker with my thoughts
Thinking of the past year as I try not to cry

Everything and nothing can happen in an instant
The pinnacle of joy and sadness come to play games
Emotions become a battlefield of life’s happenings
And the heart never seems to come out unscathed

The struggles of life and death effects each one us
No matter our backgrounds we all cross these paths
Each year holds new fortunes in cookies unopened
Revealing itself at anytime life crumbles its mask

The clouds dissipate and the sun rays begin to peek
A thought bringing peace to my face is now shown
The ups and downs in life we all share together
Always remember that you are not alone

 

I love The Rain

Photo by Aleksandar Pasaric on Pexels.com
Dim candle light sets my relaxed mood
Silence is my companion as I read a book
A soft chair cradles my tired body
Finding peace where my eyes cannot look
Raindrops pepper down breaking the silence
I close my eyes to a sound so serene
Its been so long since I heard this melody
This moment I capture to replay in my dreams


The surroundings replenish with liquid life
My soul replenishes with ethereal fire
Staring out the window with an open heart
Embracing this moment I've long desired 
Raindrops now begin to wane away into the night
A great sleep dawns upon me at this late hour
I crawl into bed smiling from ear to ear
Anticipating my dreams of this beautiful shower

Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

cherry blossom

Under the cherry blossom tree I will always be
At the same time each and every week
Where the moon and stars shined just for us
As the soft breeze lay petals around our feet

A place where your eyes glowed of sun kissed honey
Reflecting the love of the universe as you came near
We held hands face to face in eternity’s embrace
Free from the rain of broken hearts tears

The dance of love moved our feet in feathered steps
Our flames interwoven transcending death and time
We danced the night away until the peeking sunrise
The beam landing on us in a golden straight line

Just before the morning rise is full and complete
You leave to the place where my eyes cannot see
I will patiently wait to see you again
Under the cherry blossom tree I will always be

 

A Beautiful View

saus

This view I drink in with parched thirsty lips
Silent goes my heart then explodes in love
My soul shines in unrivaled fantasy
Heaven has come down from the stars above

A subtle breeze wipes the sweat from my face
As clamoring leaves give their soft applaud
The senses of my hidden eye is now awake
My lotus within unfolds its petals with natures nod

I smell the tranquility from its fragrance
As I begin to see an entity within my minds sight
I close my eyes to get a clearer view
And I see myself bathing in an ethereal golden light

 

Imperfect Puzzle Piece

by MisterNorCal, posted in Poems

puzzlepiece

My adolescence darkened by shadows of doubt
Silence was my friend and in my heart we always played
I felt like the imperfect puzzle piece that never quite fit
The odd number in a world of evens they wished would go away

My pain hidden away masked by a broken smile
The cold air of loneliness snuffs out the light of my spirit
My wings soaking in tears of depression prevents my flight
Questions of why I am here so loud I can feel it

I never thought there would be a place for me
The lost imperfect puzzle piece that never quite fit
Until I found others with the same imperfect piece
That never gave up searching and refusing to quit

If you find yourself being that imperfect piece
I’m here to tell you that you are not alone
Stay true to yourself being that different soul
And let the heart guide you to your everlasting home

A Mothers Fury

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

lightning6

Blue skies fill with sinister clouds
Gathering in the distance full of pain
Lightning crackles to show its furious bite
Warning of this storm brings more than rain

I can’t help but feel this is a message
One that mother nature delivers herself
She will not stand to be abused any longer
Especially for mankind’s insatiable wealth

My heart cries endless tears of sorrow
For these lessons it seems we never learn
We must take better care before its too late
Before we reach the point of no return

The Sound Of Silence

by MisterNorCal, posted in Poems

I hear you in the dead of night
As I do in the life of the day
Even during playful howling winds
My thoughts are taken far far away

Words fade away upon muted ears
Music dwindles down to a soft tone
Energy rises from my awakening core
The greatest feeling I have ever known

My thirst is forever quenched
In still waters that run so deep
Drowning in the sound of silence
Only these waters I can truly breathe

Dream Catcher

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

Chasing dreams all throughout the night
To try to catch them throughout the day
I can feel them close to my heart
Though I see them so far away

It is the lighthouse on the dark horizon
A beacon that only my eyes can see
Pushed by the winds of will on my sails
I cross the unpredictable uncharted sea

The land behind me fades from sight
No turning back as I face my fears
This journey tries to break my spirit
My face is weary from all these years

My heart beats faster as I reach the end
For this is the day my soul officially cried
I finally caught the sunset of my dreams
In its golden light I now happily reside

Letter Of Love

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

A sheet of paper blows in the wind
Landing purposely before my feet
Words are smeared with salted tears
A promise of two hearts destined to meet

Familiarity of these words of love
Of those only the soul knew existed
The awakening of light without the sun
Two flames melded and twisted

My tears add to ones on this letter of love
An epiphany strikes a question off my list
I throw it in the air to be found again
For those who wonder if true love exists

No Longer Blind

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

Sitting under the shade of the willow tree
Listening to the gentle waves push ashore
Inhaling deeply of the life that surrounds
Of this life I could not ask for more

The sun glistens off the skin of the lake
Clouds roll changing the waters complexion
My life is defined in this moment of bliss
As the lotus inside begins its resurrection

My heart opens like flowers in spring
Reaching for the light for first time
Encapsulated in the auras of life
My sight is clear and no longer blind

Drum Of Courage

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

 

As I walk down the halls of darkness
Blind and unsure of where it will lead
All I have is the beat of my drum
So I march to where I cannot see

The cold whispers of fear warn me
Telling me to go back where I came
The drum beat urges me to move on
Even if I will never be the same

Throughout the sleepless eternal nights
I walk even when I feel I can’t go on
This dark path was meant to break me
Beat me down until I am withered and gone

I fall to my knees in a puddle of tears
Awaiting the reaper to take me away
I hear the drum loudly from my heart
Reminding me of this path I must stay

Finally I see the end of the darkness
Fallen cherry blossoms gather at my feet
I’ve come to the end of my journey
My legs feeling tired and very weak

The strength I needed was hidden inside
In the darkness I had it all along
It was the drum of courage
That kept me marching to its song

 

Dream By The Waters Edge

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

 

Dream with me by the waters edge
Let our troubles sail the endless sea
Watch the night sky bloom before our eyes
Pretend the universe is made for you and me

We will drink the essence of stars
Dance slowly under the full moon gaze
Reverently we enjoy this magical moment
In our perfection of love for eternal days

The stars rain down in celebration
Of a connection that transcends time
We will always dream by the waters edge
Until I am in your reality and your in mine

Spring Love

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

Your beauty captures my intrigue
My heart fills with the colors of love
Butterflies awaken to flutter again
Birds sing praises high above

Flowers rise to the warmth of your touch
The earth begins to bleed of green
Dullness of gray retreats away
Revealing the birth of colors to be seen

I find myself under your spell
Love of your beauty stains my heart
I feel your life just a breath away
spring is here, time for love to start

 

A Souls Journey

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

Staring off into the vast distance
Motionless in a thousand mile stare
Standing firm but fluid on the sand
Always present and aware

The ocean breeze is my breath
My hearts ebb and flow is the tide
In this moment I am it and it is me
The alchemy of the divine

Tranquility enters my timeless void
Blooming like a lotus in a still pond
Peace is now the reality of my being
I dance to colors of the sunset song

Stars stand watch in the night sky
Out here I feel like i’m never alone
My soul begins its own evolution
Finding the path to get back home

 

The Morning Rise

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

In the dawning morning rise
an awakening peace fills my soul
the birds sing of joyous songs
sunshine beams its ribbons of gold

The morning coffee is a welcoming scent
my mind paints a picture of the first cup
I take slow reverent sips of its bliss
not a single negative thought interrupts

Staying mindful in this moment of silence
with the hourglass of time tipped to its side
floating in the serene waters of pure joy
I begin the day with radiant love inside

The Pearl Of The Night

Your luminescent glow pierces the night sky
my soul meditates in your poetic tranquility
the beat of my heart mimics your light
we are one in the bond of our unity

Words never escape my muted mouth
my tears of joy speak more than words
you gaze upon me with your illumination
as I look at far away stars and other worlds

I feel the most alive in the calm of the night
serenity follows me when I see you in the sky
when myriads of stars fall in a prismatic rain
I know the universe has behold you and began to cry

 

 

Unsettled Leaf

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

I’m the leaf that plays in the wind
always unsettled where I land
finding myself in different spots
at the will of the winds command

I’ve never felt my heart at peace
where I can close my eyes and rest
I’m the puzzle piece that never fits
even when I try my very best

The winds continue to carry me
as I taste the riches of the unknown
all I want is just to find a place
where I can finally call my home

Our Dreams

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

our dreams are the light
the star we hold so dear
hope in its very essence
the truth whispered in our ear

it’s the pinnacle of our destiny
the hardest goal to grasp
our first flame of desire
the earnest wish in our past

let the seed of our dreams grow
it will ripen with patience and time
our hearts will beat of the purset love
as we watch our dreams rise and shine

 

Everlasting Love

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

The essence of your love lives in my heart
I feel the warmth of your everlasting touch
the beacon of light of your soul is all I need
loneliness in darkness I never felt very much

Our souls are tied forever by ethereal strings
unbreakable through the fabric of time
wherever you are I will always feel you near
eternally I feel your love as you do mine
