Calling Your Name

Calling Your Name

(I stood alone calling your name

The clouds hid the sunlight and made way for the rain

Your name echoed back off the hills unto me

And my sad lonely shadow was all I could see.)

I'd sought you all of my life

Since I was but a child

I knew you were out there in the world

Somewhere in the wild.

For my dreams gave me glimpses

That my eyes couldn't see

And I knew that you existed

And were looking for me.

But my life took it's turns

Just as all lives, they do

And it distanced and detoured me

From the finding of you.

I met other lovers

I married and left

Two lovers who broke me

And left me bereft.

And I gave up on love

I gave up on life

For who needs a love

That's imprisoned in strife?

But my dreams never left me

They stayed buried, asleep

Laying stagnant and hidden

In my heart, oh, so deep.

And one day to my surprise

To my shock and my awe

My dreams were revived

By the face that I saw.

And the face was your face

A face I had known

In a dream, in a place

In a world of our own.

Where we walked hand in hand

As we walked through the world

Watching ages pass by us

As our dream lives unfurled.

Oh, and we were so happy

To just be we two

For I knew you loved me

And how much I loved you.

And I was your love
And you were my sweet boy
And our days and our nights
Were filled with pure joy.

But what we didn't know

Till much passage of time

That only in that dream world

Could you really be mine.

Till the Fates co-conspired

With the Heavenly plan

And allowed this sad woman

To once again find that man.

We had always had hope

That someday, and somehow

Our two dreams would collide

In the here and the now.

And they did in the last place

That we ever had thought

Stumbling there upon the one thing

That we always had sought.

What a mystery and joy!

What a sweetness divine

For my heart still was yours

And your heart was still mine.

And our souls meshed together

And our bodies belonged

Just as sure as a melody

With the words of a song.

But what cruel turn of fate

Like the changing of weather

Once again we are parted

And cannot be together.

And I call out your name

Like a prayer on the wind

Wondering how long it will be

Till I'm with you again.

For even a dream 

Will eventually die

And the reflection of your face

Will fade from my eye.

But my heart won't forget

When I take my last breath

That it loves you with a love

That is stronger than death.

 I'm calling your name again now

My sweet boy, my dear

Hoping this time you'll answer

And say Yes love, I'm here.

The Late Beloved Mr. Magic Moo the talking cat...I miss him so!

Wisteria and Ever Afters

Love Songs flute cover

Wisteria and Ever Afters

💜

Whenever I see wisteria, I think of you

You and that moon on the water,

The candle, the wine

And the gleam in your shining eyes.

How my heart raced like a Serengeti gazelle

Being chased by a lion

My mind kept telling me to run away

While my heart demanded that I run toward.

And so I did........that starry night

Falling into your arms, your eyes

My mouth devouring your mouth

With a new appetite that would never be sated.

You made that shy girl into a woman

That woman into a princess

And the princess into a queen

A queen that knew she was loved by a king.

I remember how our bodies fit together

Like puzzle pieces,

How the moonlight highlighted the sweat

Running down them like liquid silver.

My hair draped over your face,

 I bent to kiss you

With a kiss I had only just learned to kiss

As your fingers wound 'round my curls. 

I was suddenly afraid of the urgent sounds

That issued from my own throat,

The breath that went out of me

And came rushing back like a violent storm.

I remember you said you loved me

And I felt it with every fiber of my being

Even though love had ever been foreign to me,

It coursed through my body and blood like a fire.

Afterwards, you wove strands of wisteria

And placed the purple crown upon my head

You made me feel serene and regal as you bowed
And then again, like a wild thing in your arms.

And I loved you back. god, I loved you!
The touch, the taste, the sight, the scent,
The breadth, the length
And every inch.

In two day's time, you were called away
--Not that you wanted to leave--
But the way of war overrules the love of life
And does not care how an unscripted fairytale ends.

Every time I see wisteria, I think of you

Your lips on mine, the sweet red wine

The moonlight and the water

I was your queen and you were my king...........
And that night was our happy but brief ever after.

💜

The Evanescence of Love In The Year 2020

The Evanescence of Love

 In The Year 2020

Ethereal, though it was

In every way

Every day, it became

More and more eternal in it's scope

Everlasting, as it were

Even to the eyes of everyone else.

I admit, in terms of eternity

Few things last, most expire

In the exhalation of a breath

Or the exploration of the unknown

Everything but true love

Especially true love

Whatever that might be in terms of explanation.

But I saw in your expressive eyes

The ephemeral asking to become more permanent,

More tangible, more set in stone,

More inexhaustible and undeniable

And I stopped where I stood

And pondered upon the matter, expressed by your eyes

Yet unspoken by your mouth.

But upon the taking of my lips by yours,

All doubt fled away

And in your eager embrace

I found an earnestness and existence I had not known

But had extensively sought all my days.

The clouds eavesdropped upon us

And the sun smiled effervescently

Dropping sunshine like raindrops

On our enchanted faces

As love enveloped us, enclosed us, in it's arms.

And thus, we existed in this happy place,

This eloquent place, this place of elation,

Electric kisses and unexpected bliss

Looking forward to the expanding horizons

That predicted and predicated no earthly ending.

But alas! The unforseen arose

With storm filled skies and thunder in the air

And things that had been solid before

Seemed liquid now

Seemed to be inconstant and indefinable

No longer eternal but temporal.

For even the Earth is a temporary thing

If you think about it

Volcanoes and earthquakes can burn it to ash

And crush it to dust

Bodies can die and spirits, vacate.

But oh, the shock of losing love!

Having something seemingly solid

Turn back to ethereal wishes of the mind, 

No longer even ephemeral......

But merely evanescent, fleeting,

Like the glimpse of a rainbow in the mist

And the extinguishing of a dream

In the blink of an eye

Evanescent.
