Listen Oh beautiful

Listen

Oh beautiful one, listen…
Let me have the right to call you mine,
Or take my breath away, if you choose..
For when my eyes met yours,
the world forgot to move,
and my lips forgot to speak.
It’s as though when God created you,
He rested afterward, content,
for He had poured every ounce of grace
into your form and soul.
When He sculpted your eyes,
angels must have held their breath,
and when He traced your lips…
flowers must have bowed in envy.

Your steps are softer than spring’s first touch,
your eyes sharper than moonlit arrows,
and in your smile..
the heavens found their mirror.
You are not just beauty..
you are the moment beauty became alive.
I watch the moon,
but your face eclipses even that calm light.
The night sighs, jealous of your glow,
and my sleep..
it abandoned me the day I saw you.

Yet my heart believes…
one day, you will stand before me,
our words will melt into laughter,
our hands will meet in fire and calm,
and the nights.. oh, the nights..
will sing our story softly to the stars.
So come to me, beloved,
let this distance dissolve into breath..
for since I saw you,
my voice has fallen silent,
and my soul waits only for your “yes.”……..

I’ve Loved You

 

From the first glance, I felt a spark.

A quiet fire within my heart. I watched

you smile from near and far

and knew my life would change its part.

Through the nights I held my pain,

Hoping  you would feel the same.

Every word I did not say still lingers

softly to this day.

I’ve loved you though you may not know.

Through every storm, through every rain,

I’ve loved you more than words could

show.

the gentle hold that will remain.

If I could hold you in my arms

and tell you all my secret charms,

would you stay?

Would you believe

this love I’ve carried silently?

The stars above might guide your way to

find my heart where it will stay. No

fear, no doubt. Just you and me.

A love that grows eternally.

I’ve loved you, though you may not know.

Through every storm, through every rain,

I’ve loved you more than words could

show.

A gentle hope that will remain.

And when the morning light appears,

I’ll be the one to calm your fears

with open arms

and love so true.

I’ve loved you

and I love you, too.

 

Never Forget: A Tribute to September 11, 2001

Tonight, 24 years ago, the world changed in the blink of an eye.

246 people went to sleep that night in preparation for their morning flights, unaware that their journeys would end in tragedy.
2,606 went to sleep expecting to wake up for work, to continue their routines, to embrace life’s small moments.
343 firefighters went to sleep ready to answer the call of duty.
60 police officers went to sleep prepared for their morning patrols.
8 paramedics went to sleep anticipating another day of service and care.

It was a night like any other for thousands of families—fathers hugging their children, mothers whispering love, husbands kissing their wives, girlfriends and boyfriends sharing tender moments. But none of them would see past 10:00 AM on September 11, 2001. In a single, unimaginable moment, their lives, and the lives of countless others, were forever changed.

The enormity of that day cannot be measured only in numbers. It is measured in the love that went unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled, and the lives cut tragically short. It is measured in the grief, the courage, and the resilience that followed.

And yet, in remembering them, we are reminded of the fragility and preciousness of life. Every breath we take, every hug we give, every kiss we share carries a significance that can never be repeated. Life is fleeting, unpredictable, and infinitely valuable.

So tonight, before you go to sleep in preparation for tomorrow, take a moment. Hold those you love a little closer. Tell them what they mean to you. Laugh a little louder, smile a little brighter, and never take a single second for granted.

We honor them not only in memory but in how we choose to live. In every act of kindness, every expression of love, every moment of gratitude, they are with us.

We Shall Never Forget Them. 🇺🇸

Heart Melts

You will be my love,
Forever, I know,
I’ll be your man,
With every breath, I’ll grow.

Love is like a storm,
A tempest wild and free,
In its winds, we are lost,
But still, you’re here with me.

The world may bend and break,
But in your arms, I stand,
You are my heart’s home,
The world’s a distant land.

With every glance, I fall,
In ways I can’t explain,
You’ve woven dreams in me,
Like sunshine after rain.

The heart is but a traveler,
And you, its guiding light,
In your eyes, I find my path,
In your love, my flight.

So, let the world be heavy,
Let the storm clouds rise,
With you, I am unbroken,
In love’s eternal skies.

You will be my love,
Forever, I know,
And I’ll be your man,
With every moment, I’ll show.

In your love, I find my peace,
In your touch, my soul,
Together, we’ll chase forever,
In a love so fierce, so strong…..

A touch never spoken

A touch never spoken
only written yr hands
are encrusted w/ ink
The silence Btwn phrases
is reflected in yr chest

And I—still falling
into that line
where U undress me
w/ nothing
but the pause
before a word
Silence becomes the loudest
language among all

Dream with me tonight

 

dream with me tonight
love me ethereally
as our bodies rest
our souls will play
let your consciousness
sensuously spill into mine
allow the waves of your energy
to tantalize my toes
and the gravity of my longing
to guide your transcendent tides
come to me love

My Garden Flower

Since that bright and clear spring day I do remember
I have already known that I would not give up
To me you were the apple of my eye every night and day
You were to me an angel of God showing out of the mist
I have wished to ask your hand I wanted to say
My love is discret, guarded deep in my heart
I have wished to say I love my love, and done!
But I didn’t dare even when it was already too late
You are my world at dawn, my whole day
My world at night and my dream
You flow within my blood, spirit and heart
Sweet fragrance, my flower garden.
Since you went away my day is gloomy, long and boring
In vain do I want to forget and ignore,
Come back quickly, in your absence my world is desolated
My vocal cords have been silenced and my violin has stopped.
You are my world at dawn …

You and I

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes that is saying tonight
I’m not a child anymore, love has opened the door
To a new exciting life

I lose control when I’m close to you babe
I lose control, don’t look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes, is this love at first sight
Like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know
All the secrets of life

 

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I, we’re just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control don’t look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes that is saying tonight
I’m so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life

Love Me Tender

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I’ll be yours, through all the years
‘Til the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Where Do I Begin

Where do I beginTo tell the story of how great a love can beThe sweet love story that is older than the seaThe simple truth about the love she brings to meWhere do I start?

With her first helloShe gave a meaning to this empty world of mineThere’d never be another love another timeShe came into my life and made the living fine

She fills my heartShe fills my heart with very special thingsWith angel songs, with wild imaginingsShe fills my soul with so much loveThat anywhere I go, I’m never lonelyWith her along who could be lonely?I reach for her hand, it’s always there

How long does it lastCan love be measured by the hours in a dayI have no answers now, but this much I can sayI know I’ll need her until the stars all burn awayAnd she’ll be there

How long does it lastCan love be measured by the hours in a dayI have no answers now but this much I can sayI know I’ll need her ’til the stars all burn awayAnd she’ll be there
