Still Right Here In My Heart by Pure Prairie League (song & Lyrics)

There's a silver moon in the midnight sky

And lovers are heart to heart

But love is a shadow

Lost in your eyes

And time has taken us apart

But it's so far away and so long ago

It's still so strong I want you to know

[Chorus:]

You're still right here in my heart

Where you've been right from the start

Still right here in my heart oh baby

There's a hollow sound in this empty room

Echoes in the dark

I wish I could wake and find you here

Give us another chance to start

But night after night day after day

I love you so much I still have to say

[Chorus]

Well I wonder what you're feelin

Do you ever feel the same

When you listen to your heart

Do you ever hear my name

[Chorus]

Capture the Moon (poem)

If I could capture the moon

I'd package it and send it to you

Fight through the scattered storms

To be there in your arms

I would, in a heart beat

There'd be nothing to stop me

But the miles that lay between

Seem to have a door locked to me

If only I could drive a car

I'd speed right to where ever you are

To sit beside you and watch you sleep

Oh if dreams could become reality

I'd skip along the highest cloud

Snap my fingers and be with you now

Yet I know I'll have to turn out the light

And sweetly wish you goodnight

Oh... But... If I could!

Here At My Side (poem)

Just when I think you're beginning to fade
You rush up on me like a tidal wave
I don't even have to try to think of you
Its something that I automatically seem to do
Sometimes I wonder if you're just a dream
Then I stare of these pictures of you and me
Keep praying for the moment I'll open my eyes
And you'll be curled up here at my side

In The Night (poem)

  

I can hear your voice echoing in the night

I close my eyes as we gently take flight

Your cold hard steel staking its claim

Burrowing its heat deep inside of me

Lifting me up like an angel sprouting wings

Its liquid heat flooding into my core

Fire burning up the darkness in my soul

Cool lips fluttering along my skin

Taking every ounce of air I breathe in

Your light flashing like a thousand suns

In the night our hearts beat as one

Memories of Him (poem)

These memories of him

Stick like the ebony night

Flowing out in the mist

Like little birds taking flight

From the trees to the stars

These memories of him

Cling like the dying sun

Folding up its final grin

Like a melody being sung

From the lips to the hearts

Things I Remember (poem)

From that jacket he wore
To the car he drove
From the dog that didn't like me
To the smile on his face
These are the things I remember

From him coming to my door
To the red blanket on his bed
The books in his room
From him laying beside me
To that sparkle in his eyes
These are the things I remember

From the songs he would play
To his eagerness to assist me
From his long brown hair
To the night he disappeared
These are the things I remember

One Night With You (poem)

They say love walks in when you least expect it
Its not something you go looking for
Love is not something you can force
I was not looking for you
You walked into my life
At a time I was not in the right frame of mind
For reasons it would take me a while to explain

From the moment you sat down at my side
To the night you stood in front of me
From the moment you said goodbye
To that night we locked eyes
Everything in my life began to change
I've never felt anything like that in my life
Honestly I can't recall ever feeling that alive



I have waited for nearly half of my life
For someone like you to come along
I've done shed my share of blood & tears
Life dealt me a bad hand from the start
I don't remember when I lost my heart

Maybe you had it all along
I just didn't realize it until after you were gone
I don't know if we are meant to be
Yet, I definitely would move heaven & earth
To be granted one night with you

Into My Dreams (poem)

Since that day you said goodbye

I sat down and began to write

Words just flow from my fingertips

And you seem to be at the center of it

I don't know what this all means

Somehow you've become important to me

I tell myself to forget about you

Yet, I seem to be unable to

Thoughts of you consume my mind

Taking majority of my time

I walk around in a constant daze

Everywhere I turn I see your face

I don't know what this all means

You walked out of my life and into my dreams

Daydream (poem)

I walk in the light of the day

Visions of you come out to play

I'm living in a fantasy

Images of you and me

Dancing around inside my head

A grin begins its widespread

Planting itself across my lips

People gawk as if I'd lost it

Yet, their honks seem not to phase me

As I'm too caught up in a daydream

The Only One (poem)

Throw pennies in the wishing-well
Light my candles and cast my spell
If only my heart could tap on your door
My secret wish I wouldn't have to store
Blissfully share the chambers of your bed
To put this heartache finally to rest
Its very hard for me to believe
We had met by pure coincidence
To throw away such a precious gift
Just seems so utterly tragic
Though the miles keep up wide apart
You are the only one who holds my heart

My Feet (poem)

I know if I walked out this door

Without a single doubt

My feet would guide me down the road

Up the hills, across the mountains

Over the running rivers to your door

My only map would be the memories

That reside inside my heart

Your face a sculpture of art

Painted inside my mind

Like the roads that continuously unwind

Though I haven't a clue

Just where to find you

My heart knows exactly where to go

It'd be a straight line

Through the forest, across the plains

A non-stop flight

Through the cities and towns

No physical map in my hands

No address, no physical bound to you

Yet, I know without a single doubt

If I walked out this door

My feet would walk straight to you

Out There Somewhere (poem)

I know you're out there somewhere

Greeting stairwells with your feet
Turning knobs in your grip
Lighting up rooms with your smile
Its so ironic, often strange
How much time can change
Yet, my feelings for you remain
Growing stronger with time
It all changed that moment
 you looked at me
Stood there in front of me
And our eyes met

Something Has To Give (poem)

He was right there in my reach

Everything I would ever need

Flashed before me that night

All at once his eyes met mine

How could I have been so blind

Is life playing a joke on me

Have I not been through enough

How could this possibly be wrong

I can never date anyone new

Thinking of him is all I ever do

I know I have to trust fate

But my patience is running thin

Something just has to give

Is It Real (poem)

Walking in a dream

How can I explain

Laughing to myself

Its hard to believe

Is it real now

So hard to believe

I can feel it

A change inside of me

Though I couldn't see

The love you gave to me

Now its changing all the time

Floating in and out of me

Is it real love

Grows like a tree

I can feel it

The seed you planted in me

Unfinished (poem)

There is a feeling still washing over me
It comes and goes like the evening breeze
Loud and clear as an echoed scream
All seem to say we were meant to be

Waves that dance along the shore
Lay as silent as the cobwebs at the door
The memories that stain my inner core
All seem to say fate's got more in store

Somewhere in the shadows of the moon
Somewhere in a dream I saw you
Inside the melody of a tune
The song seems to whisper you

Love's Lost Labyrinth (video poetry)

I thought since you've all been such excellent viewers...I'd treat you to a new project I'm working on. This is one of my older poems recorded, edited and mixed in an audio format. Then I used images to help bring the poem some life. So sit back, enjoy this tasty little treat and please let me know how you liked it.

Somewhere In The Night (poem)

Somewhere in the night

Stars are shinning bright

Here you come to mind

Happens all the time

Don't have any control

Heart has a mind of its own

It seems to really like you

I tried to find somebody new

But its hard to concentrate

I've had to cancel dates

Saw the moon glowing full

And all I could think of was you

So many stars up in the sky

Cross my fingers that you might

Be thinking of me

The way I think of you

A Piece of You (poem)

A piece of you has stained my soul.

I sure do love you so,

For reasons I will never know.

Never got to find out,

What your love is all about.

You left me high and dry,

Just moved on with your life,

While I'm stuck with you in my mind.

Sometimes I wish it was real.

Can't seem to stop the way I feel.

But this is getting old now.

Wish I could get to you somehow.

All A Dream (poem)

Was it all a dream
Were you real at all
Hard to conceive
Did you really exist
So much that we missed
I've got memories and photographs
But it only tells half
Of everything
Nothing is as it seems
Never said a word
Why does it hurt
When I think of you
I smile through the tears
Though its been over a year
Since we hung together
So much for happy ever after
Makes me just wonder
Was it all a dream
Were you real at all
Hard to conceive
Did you really exist

Meant To Be Friends (poems)

We were meant to be friends

Possibly even more

But whatever could have been

Was dropped at the door

Photographs they tell a story

One that still longs to be written

Sadly the pages sit empty

Awaiting words to scribble lines

Thunder roaring through locked eyes

Memories frozen in the dust

All that's left of us

The winds that blow through the trees

Seem to cry endlessly for you and me

Hearts they cry in the night

For the dying light

That flickers across the bridge

What became of me and him

My Friend (poem)

You were the light to my dark

The other half of my heart

We met by sheer coincidence

As if we were destined

I felt it everytime

We were together

That instant connection

That instant click

A perfect understanding

That didn't need words

I could tell you my deepest 

Secrets with total confidence

You and I are suppose to be

Its the only thing that makes sense

You are still the light to my dark

The other half of my heart

Until we meet again

That's where you'll stay my friend

Had Enough (poem )

She's had enough

Of broken trust

All the tears she has cried

She's had enough

Of wasted time

While her life

Goes down the drain

No one's ever to blame

She's had enough

Of broken love

All the sleepless nights

She's had enough

Of asking why

While her life

Goes down the drain

No one's ever to blame

They toss her aside 

Treat her like trash

Now she's walking out the door

And she's not coming back

She's had enough

Of broken friends

Tonight she'll bring it to an end

Out into the unknown

She's had enough

Of giving her time

While her life

Goes down the drain

No one's ever to blame
