PICTURED LOVE

i painted a picture of you yesterday
with each stroke the memories flashed by
and although i had to put my brushes away
today i'll give it a try

the yellow for the sun
that shined through your hair
blue for the color of your eyes
red for the lipstick that you use to wear
white for the clouds in the sky

and greens for the grass below your feet
and for the trees that surrounded you
in the park where we use to meet
ill use the color autumn brown too

on the living room wall is where it will stay
so before i go to bed each night
i can blow a loving kiss your way
and tell you to sleep real tight

though it wont replace your touch and your feel
its all i have left of you
and even though i know its not real
it keeps me from feeling blue

sometimes i pull it down and we dance
to the songs of our lasting love
and i know that there is no second chance
i trust you're with the lord above

i remember the day the angels came
and stole you away from me
since then i've never been the same
i doubt that i will ever be

and for you a kiss good night my love
until i see you again
and we'll be together again above
i'll keep missing you til then

My amazing friend

I told you I would never again,
Let someone take my heart.
Here I'm sitting wanting you,
And hate that we're apart.

Everyday you're in my thoughts,
Every night you're in my dreams.
I can't believe what's happening,
Is this really what it seems?

Every morning as I wake,
Each night as I drift to sleep,
Those hours of every day,
These moments, away they creep.

The kisses shared between us,
Have always reached the sky.
As your lips part I'm anxious,
My spirit seems to fly.

The inch seems to shorten,
So close yet still so far,
Time seems to have frozen,
I feel how close you are.

My breathing is now lost,
Along with every thought....
This dream is put on pause,
'Cause now the alarm goes off.

Take a chance to know me,
To let me share it all.
And my friend one day soon
For me perhaps you'll fall.

Our friendship we now have
Is something that I'd miss
But maybe once we both let go
We will find eternal bliss.

Forever Wanting

Wanting and needing
Begging and pleading
That this night
Will never end
Yet morning. . .
Must always begin
Yes i know. . .
It's time for you to go
I pray that time
We next spend together
Will never end
Go on forever
There's so much more
For us to do
So much more
I could do for you.

Walks With Wind

In the darkness of the Kiva, Shaman chants
Smoke filled, sacred sage burns
Flames flicker, softly against the soot covered walls
Today I become woman
My name can be spoken now
I can hear it whispered softly in the wind
I am no longer just girl
I am Walks With Wind
Dreamer of my clan
I carry the sacred bundle
Protecting it with my very life
From it the spirits speak
In my dreams
I dream of the future of my people
Famine and war
Moving to a new world
Children born
To carry us through
Twin brothers
Fighting across the sky
And the Phoenix rises
From the ashes and dust
I ride on its back
Amidst the flames
Spear clutched in one hand
Sacred bundle in the other
I must ensure my peoples future
For I am Walks With Wind
Dreamer of my clan...

Untitled,,for now

Once I sought love, pure and true
Only to find that its been distorted by time
Once I sought God, pure and true
Only to find he too has been distorted by time
Once I sought humanity, pure and true
Only to find that we have distorted ourselves by time
I've searched the heavens far and wide
I've searched the oceans vast and deep
I've searched the mountains every peak and valley
I've searched all the lands known to man
Weary now I rest my feet and soul upon the shores of time
Waiting and contemplating the reality of me
Shredding all of my fantasies
Discarding all of my dreams
All that I have sought, my eyes so blind by distortion
And as I wait I claw the webs of distortion from my eyes
Stepping outside of myself I see now it was I who was distorted
Falling to my knees wracked with pain and tears
In between the sobbing and screaming words fell from the sky
Upon my ears they fell and God spoke to me
My child so distorted and deluded,wipe your tears , rise again
Everything you have sought has been within you the whole time
Seek again and you shall find, look within and you will see
Touch and you will feel, you see everything you seek is so real
Hold your head high and look out, see all the world before your eyes
Bow your head and all you see is your own weary feet, bloodied and torn, ready to accept defeat
The light it shines from you , touching so many and warming a chosen few
Rise up my child, become who you are, open your soul and find the words
Written and spoken ,soon to be heard, touch your hand upon another
Reach for those who cannot see, cannot hear, shed your light and warmth upon their souls
Open your heart to the world, cry your tears and heal your pain, for the sun shines after the rain

Building

There is beauty in a wall,
Looking at its height so tall.
Seeing all the rocks of ages,
Looking into all the pages.

Pages of a time before,
Tales of life, tales of lore.
Listen to the sounds inside,
Tales of old cannot hide.

Hidden in a land within,
Tales of life can now begin.
Hear the tales of rocks and stones,
Hidden deep within these tomes.

Written from a mortals dream,
Come to life beneath the stream.
Walk along the golden shore,
Reading of the tales of lore.

Lore and song are passed down,
From a sage not written down.
Hear these tales of life and love,
Passed to you from high above.

Above a star and guiding light,
Sharing dreams oh so bright.
Feel your dreams and life within,
As your building does begin.

Begin now to build yourself,
Or with friends an earthly wealth.
Build this thing short or tall,
Look at life like this old wall.

My Sweet Freak

I really am lost for the words that i want to say
even though I talked to you just about everyday
Our lives had been set down the same dark road
its was a path that we both struggled to hold
We did cross lines where friends don't go
why we did is a reason we shall only know
You knew things about me that no one else will
and i knew things about you that are hidden still
But i know that a friend to you is all i could be
and i hope this is truly something you could see
If you ever wanted more than what you had told
i would have been there for you i hope you know
And in my heart your a friend that i truly love
eventhough i live below and you now live above
And as i sit here heart broken alone in my room
i know i will remember you every time i see the moon
A smile comes to my face everytime i think of me and you
and a tear to my eye when i realize our time is now thru
Friends till the end i know is what we would always say
but i never thought i would ever have to face this day
And now at night when the freaks come out to play
it just wont be the same since god took you away
Cause now my hearts broken in a way that won't mend
and i will never have anyone the way i had you my friend

A gorgeous woman sits
.........................in an elaborate garden
Her beauty sweet and true
..........................soars as rose petals on the wind.
She sings a smooth symphony
.........................whispers powerful pictures of life into the lake
and lets them swim away.


Soon she will have no more dreams or gifts
..............................left to give anyone.
The breeze is cool as it blows through her hair
...................the flowers are covered with fresh dew and the air is filled with mist.

A sleeping dog lies on her red satin dress.

Touch

two hard perfect spheres meet and touch
at a point. they roll around each other forever

two smooth polished plates come together
and stick. they cannot be pulled apart

alcohol meets water and they
dissolve each other. in watery fire

i meet you my friend my lover and
here you are all in me. where did i go?

The well of the Heart

There's a finite amount of space that's inside
Which can be consumed with past hurts
That remain...ones we may choose to hide

Although we want to believe as if they are gone
Unless truly released and let go of
One's next life in love becomes pawn

My friends I have seen this pain take away
Stopping what was...or could have been so
Fulfilling... during a much brighter day

For hidden pain passes judgement on what is to come
Reading tablets of old stored away deep
Contemplating the truth it had once known

In this way new is made old...and the old made anew
Past leading present...to it's own end
Reliving days long ago...believing them true

What we store up inside is what we will share
Therefore let go of the pain and
The darkness that left the life and heart bare

Find the happiness lost...then trade it for the pain
Prepare for what surely will come
A day the heart can smile...once again

Jessie Lee,… The Goddess of the Sea ~


Untouched by human progress
since the moment of my birth
I’ve danced with Mother Nature
in the bushlands of the earth

I’ve walked within my footsteps
leaving traces in the sand
I’ve mingled with the creatures
of this mystic wondrous land

Playing in the wild
by the undulating sea
I’ve watch the cosmic spirit
unveil herself to me

Embracing me with love
Tormenting me with storms
Sharing her persona
in a multitude of forms

I’ve shared in her quintessence
Kissed the tears she’s wept for men
She’s mentored me relentlessly
in all the ways of Zen

Like a Mother, sister, daughter
Like a dedicated friend
It’s hard to share these things in words
in a way you’ll comprehend

No doctrines are required
No chapels made of stone
Her spirit’s free of all mankind’s
pompous selfish throne

She meanders in the wind
in never-ending play
She shows her face with purest grace
in a natural bouquet

You can try to pin her down
You can claim to speak her mind
But the only way to know her
is to let yourself unwind

Don’t fall to man’s entrapments
Don’t lose yourself in ‘nation’
All are one and one is all
Tis the way she made creation

The sandy beach is restless
with the beating of her heart
And all she really asks of us
is to appreciate her art

These Dreams of Love”

You are my heart.
You’re like a work of art.
You’re my everything.
You put in my step that spring.
Yes it is you that makes my sky blue.
And makes things seem so true.
As I watch the sun goes down
As I look around.
I want to feel your touch.
I long for it so much.
Every night it is the same.
As I hear you call out my name.
I feel your fingers upon my skin.
Makes me go wild and my head spin.
This feeling I have deep inside.
It can not be denied.
This can’t be all it is.
I know there has to be more to this.
You see I believe.
These dreams of mine will not deceive.
That somewhere out there.
You are there somewhere and this is not in despair.
Just to have that day come true and to have you hold.
Me within your arms I will fold.
For you I will give all.
And it will be my name you will call.
Until that day comes it seems.
You will remain right here in my dreams.

Pride

Nickolas
I will always love you and always be there for you.


He entered my life at six months old
with no one to be his father.
As occurs all too much in this world,
someone just didn't bother.

My love for his mother,
grew and grew.
Something else happened,
I fell in love with him too.

Nine years went by too fast

Remembering-
The times I ran when he fell.
Listening to the stories he`d tell.
Watching the world through his eyes.
Hurting every time he cries.

He is a wonderful child,
with a brilliant mind.
Compassionate,
funny,
exceedingly kind.

It cannot be measured all I learned from him.

I was supposed to be the teacher.

Nine years went by too fast.


For his birthday this year,
he asked.

Could we be a family again?
Now, that's heart wrenching stuff,
from a child of ten.

Last night I cried,
when we ended our call.
No, it wasn't for the,
I love you.
You will see.
The tears were a mixture,
of pride and sad.
For the word he chose,
to call me was...
Dad

Imperfections

Accepting ones Soul
Look deep within
Perfect I think not
Imperfections Ohhhhhhhh I so bestow
Acceptance I ask
Accept me as I am
Shortcomings Yes I have a few
Patience I so do lose
Battered and bruised
Rich I am not
Rich in love,, this I have lots of
Life is glorious
Beauty stands before us
My life taken once for granted
My life now seen through reality
Lost was I, mistakes I made
Found my way … on the road of life
Failure is a part of life
Imperfections are a part of me
Overcoming obstacles… yes I have these
Imperfections is what makes me
Individual in my reality
You and me quite complete you see
Imperfections we all have these
Accept each other value their worth
For imperfections quite simply are
Open Doors to ones body, mind and soul…
Imperfections,,, oh yes I have these

Beautiful gray skies hypnotizes and conjures daydreams
Drawn to the window while , what seems like, millions of frozen petals, float gracefully
The hardened earth invites readily as its slowly blanketed by mystical serenity
The wind guides and cradles its children
The beautiful gray smiles down as it shares itself to all who will admire
Childlike happiness grows inside with each passing minute
Even the bitter cold of winter has its alluring traits
More quickly the travelers fall now
In an attempt to conceal the last of the fallen heroes left by autumn
Still hypnotized unable to free myself from the portal
I share my soul, if even for a few moments, with the beauty of the gray cold

s It Still There?”


Life was so sweet.
Can we repeat?
What we once had.
Or will it turn out bad?

One will never know.
How life will go.
Until you try.
And learn to apply.

What is in your heart.
And not pick it apart.
Time will tell.
Can this be real?

Again let’s walk.
And learn to talk.
What we want in life.
And deal with the strife.

Let’s learn once again.
And put away the pain.
Of what life could be.
And take the time to see.

If once again love will.
Have that same thrill.
Can it come back our way?
And this time be here to stay.

Frustration grows
As I kick the rocks along the road
Hands shoved deeply into my pockets
Warding off the bitter cold
Walking to where I don't know
Just walking to get out
Get away, leave it behind
Snowflakes falling softly to the ground
Yet the sight just frustrates me more
Muttering to myself now
Take me away, just get me out of here
To no one in particular
Just saying the words because they need to be said
Knowing where I want to be but the time just isn't right
And her voice I hear, though I've never heard it before
Be patient my sister, the time will come soon, you will see
This is where you belong, this is where your soul calls home
Her voice alone reaches out and soothes my disrupted soul
And I slowly walk towards home....

This is my story it’s what simply makes me
Born on a cool winter morning
Abandoned by a Father only 3 months old you see
Raised by a loving Mother 2 kids she does hold
Childhood memories built with such love
Along came the Man with whom I called Dad
Fast forward in time this family now makes 5
Angels sent my little brother ohhhhhhhh he is divine
Private schools we attended activates and such
A simple life we loved so much
Not quite 16 the Angels did come
Took my Daddy away from me
Mark the oldest set off for the Military
School I pursued a degree I achieved
Mom and Ryan moved home to be free
Married a man with whom I so loved
Not quite 21 our first was to be born
Happy in life so it seemed they all said
Battered and bruised all to the unknown
Rage and anger from a man who once showed love
Hate filled eyes alone I was
2 years later a call from home
Mom is not well Home you must go
Cancer so evil grew within quite fast
My mom my Light found peace at last
Angels they came took her soul to lay rest
21 days later a daughter was born named for her Grandmother
Oh the stories we told
Rage set in once again broken bones and bruises oh the fear
Its been 4 years to scared to leave
Born 5 months early my son now I have 3
6 months have passed no more tears to shed
battered my soul my heart is now dead
cold early morning not quite 6 I took my 3 children
a new life we shall live
6 years now happiness in life
news from the Doctors its time to fight
tumors were growing my brain clouded in pain
oh what is this 3 months pregnant I see
abort this child is all they could say
chance of life not great you see
down on my knees I prayed oh please
save my baby my life please take of thee
a year of recovery a year of tears shed
life you see how incredible it can be
single mom of 4 would not have it any other way
3 have grown a grandma they have made me
Daniel and I a team we have become
Angels you see sent him to me
Tumors again worry set in
Not this time you wont take me
With family and friends tears we did shed
Life you see is inside of me
Fast forward again
Love I have found within this man
His soul he shares with me
Life how incredible to dance so freely,, take a moment and dance with me
This is my story simple yet me
Come wont you share yours with me.


(((( Puddin Cup, Jenni, Joanne, Lisa, Sheryl ))))))
Thank you for holding me ,,, Blessed I am,,, heart
