The Time Has Come To Say Our Vows


I was inspired to write this poem by the wedding of one of my best friends. 
This Poem is for you, Gina Marie and Christopher! I Love You!!! :D

I've also written it in the first person from Gina's Point of View. I couldn't be there, so I gave myself a shout out :D

The words we will say Upon this day
The vows we take we will never break
So far we've come look at us now
You're hand forever, mine to take

I love you more than words can say
Don't believe me? Look inside your heart
The world is there but only me
I will be the one when you're falling apart

I'll give you every bit of my life, forever see
Nothing can stop us, the world is ours
The time is closer, you will be only mine
Time is ticking fast, no more hours

I'm getting ready, all my girls are here
The one who isn't, I love her dear
She knows it won't be the same without her 
But her wishes of love and happiness I needed to hear

I watch completely as we all get dressed
I savor the moment, trying to never forget
I love my hair the curls they fall 
My eyes are sparkling, the tears are falling, my face is wet

I've waited so long to make that walk
Planned it for years and Dreampt my dream
I am ready now more than I ever was
Take me now and let us live my dream

My heart is pounding at the speed of light
The butterflies are no longer in my tummy
Now they seem to be all over my body
I want to see you, my baby hunny

As I take one last look
My reflection I stare at and your heart is mine
I smile in knowing it's for eternity
Our love will only grow through passing time

I realize now that I must Go
To find you waiting dashing and dear
I am ready now, the nerves have gone
My life is yours for you to see clear

As we say our vows we hold so true
We mean what we say to the very core
Word for word and love for love
We promise from now until forevermore.

It's Not For Us To Say ...


It's not for me to say what would have been 
In the land of what might not ever be
In the time we take to make mistakes
We lose the time we need to truly see

It's not for you to say who I should be
In the land of what you choose to see
In the air you breathe you speak your words
You lose yourself in the lies you decree

It's not for me to say how you should feel
In the land of what you call your heart
In the life you live you lead me away
I lose myself as you and I we come apart

It's not for you to say the direction I will take
In the land of what becomes our fate
In the place of time and time is turning
We lose all sense of who we create

It's not for me to say that time will burn away
In the land of what belongs to madness
In the wind we carry our missing chances
We lose our burning love consumed by sadness

It's not for you to say that we have lost it all
In the land of what can find the light
In the pages not yet written
We lose our cause and quit the fight

It's not for me to say we will never be again
In the land of broken dreams in space
In the light refracting everywhere
I lose my mind but I can see your face

It's not for you to say my heart will never open
In the land of walls and words unspoken
In the time that got away 
You lose the words you have never spoken

It's not for me to say I will never love again
In the land of what has just begun
In the life we have been given
I lose my pain and shines the sun

It's not for you to say the dawn is finished breaking
In the land of time and time still turning
In the age where time is just beginning
You lose all hope and never again will you be returning

It's not for us to say which way our lives will go
In the land of which is which and we are we
In the direction we land is up to us
We lose the past and start a new eternity

After Hours At The Bakery


Tick tock the clock strikes four
the mice they dance across the floor
the cats they play, they want to see
The way they move so effortlessly
the room is dim, only candles lit
The cats they plan, they use their wit ...

Tick tock the clock strikes five
The cats they jump, they make a dive
The mice keep dancing, they do not know
stepping and turning as the candles glow
The cats creep up, they make no sound
Clever and smart, they are not found ...

Tick tock the clock strikes six
The cats prepare, they know some tricks
In the kitchen, they plan the attack
they do not realize what they lack
ready to move, they make their way
this is going to be a glorious day ...

Tick tock the clock strikes seven
The cats will send the mice to heaven
In the kitchen, the cats they play
They need to focus, no other way
flour flying everywhere
The mice dont know and do not care ...

Tick tock the clock strikes eight
Playing is fun, the mice can wait
They make a mess, no need to stop
The baker is going to need a mop
the cats they find some self control
Around the dining room, they begin to patrol ...

Tick tock the clock strikes nine
the music plays in perfect time
the cats begin to listen now
They turn and look and begin to bow
The music takes over, they begin to dance
the melody has them under a trance ...

Tick tock the clock strikes ten
The music stopped, they dont know when
Its time to leave, they shuffle out
They leave no trace of any doubt
they will return, when the time is right
the music will be magic in the night ...

Tick tock the clock strikes eleven
the baker walks in wishing for seven
In his bed he'd like be
Away from the mess he does see
Scratching his head, he does not know
The cats and mice who put on a show

A Summer's Midnight


Thinking about you under those stars,
I hope you're thinking about me, dont go too far.
Feel my thoughts as they swirl around,
they move so softly, not one, a single sound.
I walk outside, my feet are bare,
I tiptoe to that place, I know you're there.
The moon is glowing bright tonight,
it tells me where to go, shining its light.
Im walking slowly in the dark,
each step brings me closer to your spark.
Thinking of you makes me smile,
Im falling falling deeper for you all the while.
I see you now, standing there,
I know which way to go, I know just where.
I reach you now, you take my hand,
we walk alone together through the sand.
When we find that special place,
I put my arms around you, kissing your face.
Take me now, Im yours tonight,
my life is yours, you make me right.
Your soul it burns, within my heart,
you give me life, you become the part.
The part that matters most to me,
you give me your love so beautifully.
Time is running into the blue,
but I dont care, as long as Im with you.

A Writer's Brilliance


Writing furiously the pen to the page
She knows the words just what to say
Every word moving closer and closer
She knows there is no other way

Her thoughts are moving all around
Like stars in a newborn space
They bump and collide but eventually find
They bring a smile to her face

Every little detail the words so free
She sees the story the way it will go
Taking her time to get it right
Where it will end you must know

On and on the story goes
Seeing the characters faces
The story comes to life
The people and the places

There is magic in the air
Floating freely on a whisper
It finally finds where it wants to be
Within your minds ever crisper

The hidden tale of Gwen and Gen
A Story you must read
You tear through the pages quicker than ever
Every little detail you will need

If you want to know
Just what I mean
Read the story every word
You'll see just why it deserves to be seen

Perfect creativity at its best
You smile because you know
You're addicted to the tale
That lived with "them", a tiny glow

This is the story that was not told
Yet it happened all the while
Right in front of your eyes, cant you see?
It makes me want to smile

Have I got your attention now,
Are you listening to me?
Go read this Fascinating tale
And for yourself you will see.

A Summer's Daydream


Thinking about nothing in particular
Having so much on my mind
Going crazy in a confining silence
The sanity slowly slips behind

I started this crazy journey
When at last I closed my eyes
It was at that very moment
My soul had kissed the skies

Time was melting quickly
As if blasted by the sun
All of my memories like dreams
As if my life had just begun

Moments passing like whispers
In the frosty shadow of time
Like tiny little raindrops
They began to dance and shine

Flying now they make their way
Through the echoes of my past
Where there they find a resting place
All at once this moment would not last

My eyes begin to open
To the dawn of a brand new day
The sun it sets, a sight so divine
My wish came true upon this way

It flutters through within my soul
This moment of the night
Moon glowing and stars twinkling
A symphony it is this light

My heart is thumping like a drum
A melody suspended in time
Moving now at the speed of sound
To a brand new feeling in this heart of mine

If The Moon Was Made Of Cheese


Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, and Mozzarella
Who loves cheese more than my Bella?
Me and my Bella, whom I call Muffin Head
We love our cheese, even when it's wrapped in wax, the color red.
We dont care what color it comes
White, yellow, and orange we always say yummy
Especially when it goes into our tummy
When we dream, me and my muffin head
We dream of this place, sleeping in bed
We love our cheese, love it so much you see
Imagine a place with the muffin head and me
Imagine a place if you please
Imagine if the moon was made of cheese.
