A Thousand Dreams (poem)

A thousand dreams of you
Swimming in an ocean of blue
Praying that morning never comes
I don't ever want to wake up
Kissing you
Touching you
Is something I don't get to do
In the hours that I'm awake
So if I choose to dream my life away

Just let me go back to sleeping

I'd much rather continue dreaming

A thousand dreams of you

Then to feel and know its untrue

Reality is cold and harsh

In the dreams you and I never part

You're a flame burning in the heart of me

That's where I wish to be

Hold On Me (poem)

Every time I close my eyes
Its you that comes to mind
Instantly, automatically
I don't even have to try
Can't control it
Losing my focus
Everywhere I turn
Feel your fire burn
Deep inside of me
Don't know how you do it
But you've got a hold on me

Like A Book (poem)

You and I are like a book

Your eyes spotted it on the shelf

Pulled it off, read the back

Flipped it back and forth

Counted the change in your pocket

You could easily purchase it

Sit down and read the story

Instead you put it back on the shelf

You stand there staring at it

It grabbed your attention

Spiked your curiosity

You take it down again

Flipping it in your hands

You look around at the other books

Even though you already know

This is it, the one

The epic story you need to read

You hesitate thinking about it

Yet, instead of taking the book

You put it back on the shelf

And walk away

Hollow Inside (poem)

Every time I close my eyes
You are all that I see
Though I know the reasons
That you have gone from me
It pains me that you left
I wish I could take it back
But life doesn't work like that
It gets so hard for me not to cry
Your absence has left me hollow inside

Can't Get You Out of My Mind(lyrics)

Tempo-steady, rhythmic
BPM- 4/4, 70-100 bpm
Style-country rock/pop, upbeat yet sad/emotional


Verse 1- I keep, writing this down
              Since you're, no longer around
              You left me, high and dry
              Not even, a single reply

Chorus-Yet, I can't get you out of my mind
             No, I can't get you out of my mind
             I can't sleep, 'cause you're, in my dreams
             Boy, I can't get you out of my mind
             It ain't right

Verse 2- You follow me, like a, shadow
               I need, for you to know
               I know, I have to, move on
               But its getting, really hard
           
Chorus- 'Cause, I can't get you out of my mind
              No, I can't get you out of my mind
              I can't sleep, 'cause you're, in my dreams
              Boy, I can't get you out of my mind
              It ain't right

(Guitar solo 12 secs. slows down fade into bridge)
Bridge (quietly)- I keep writing this down
                Trying to bring you back around
                We never had a chance
                Due to random circumstance
                I need for you to know
                I can't get you out of my mind
                No, I can't get you out of my mind

Chorus- Oh,I can't get you out of my mind
              No, I can't get you out of my mind
              I can't sleep, 'cause you're, in my dreams
              Boy, I can't get you out of my mind
              (Can't get you out of my mind)
              Do you hear what I'm saying (lead only)
              It ain't right

Back Again (poem)

I wish I could get you back again
Snap my fingers, click my heals,
Wave some magic wand
That would instantly bring you back
I can't stop thinking about you
Its all I ever seem to do
I don't even have to try
Morning. noon and night
They say time heals, helps you forget
Well I haven't yet

I wish I could get you back again
I don't care about anything else
I'd even give up my own dream
I just want you here with me
Call me desperate, I don't care
I just want you here
I don't care for how long
I don't care what we're doing
We could just be sitting and staring
As long as you're at my side, everything's alright
Until then I will continue to write
Wishing I could get you back again

You Consume Me (poem)

You consume me

Like a beam of light

Shooting across the sky

You're everything and everywhere

Though physically you've disappeared

You take my self control

Blazing through my very soul

Burning me alive from the inside

With no relief insight

I've done given up the fight

I just close my eyes

As you consume me

Honestly, I really don't mind

Him (poem)

He walked in the door

Sat down at my side

Never saw him before

'Til he said goodbye

He walked out 

And love walked in

I haven't been the same since

Kept telling myself

He's just a friend

Kept him at a distance

Afraid that he'd discover

All that I was feeling

All I never told him

Then he walked out

I called his name

He turned around

And everything changed

In the snap of a finger

He stood in front of me

In the silence that lingers

Our eyes met

I haven't been the same since

I keep waiting for him
Keeping my fingers crossed
For another glimpse
Afraid to let go
To walk away and never know
If he's the miracle
I've been waiting for

All I Do Is Think About You by Tammi Terrell (song & lyrics)

Had to add this very nicely done piece to the blog. The lyrics are on the screen...I didn't make the video. I stumbled across it on Spotify and thought my viewers would love for me to share it with them. Do enjoy!!

Walk Through the Door

Little bits of me escape to my page

Crossing fingers in hopes you'll come my way

The things of the past don't matter no more

My anticipation itches for you to walk through the door

I envision all the ways you will come to me

Floating continuously in a river of dreams

Excitment swelling like never before

Waiting for the moment you'll walk through the door

Time whispers for me to be patient
For when you do arrive it'll be well worth it

Never Was (poem)

Its hard to live in a world

That doesn't want me

All my life 

I've been pushed aside

Thrown out, discarded

Called names

Used, abused

Blamed for everything

Yet I'm suppose to be strong

Stand on my own two feet

Take care of myself

And believe in something

That I've never seen
All the while I feel empty
Like there's something missing

I feel like I live in a cage

With no air to breathe

And its always dark

Yet, these days

There is a light that shines through

A glimmer of rainbow colors

A silhouette of an image

But its just an illusion

A sliver of something that could have been

But never was

Something to Believe (poem)

Give me something to believe

Give me something I can trust

Give me reason to go on living

Love me you must

Fill my heart with warm desire

Fill my soul with a burning fire

Teach me to laugh again

The kind that reaches your toes

Show me I am not alone

Dry my tears

Chase away my fears

Put your arms around me

And give me something to believe

Dream of You (poem)

Every night as I close my eyes

All I seem to do is dream of you

The whole night through

If there were more hours in a day

I'd happily spend it dreaming away

I know its not real, but I can feel

Every detail of the fire we make

All through the day I anticipate 

For every night as I close my eyes

All I ever do is dream of you

The Wrong One (poem)

One night not so long ago
He walked away and disappeared
I didn't think about it
I should've said something
I should've done something
Stopped him from leaving
But I didn't know
That I'd miss him so
I didn't think about it
Until long after he was gone
I didn't understand
What had slipped from my hand
Until I called him up
And in the rush of a hurricane
I discovered in his silence
I'd given my heart to the wrong one

One night not so long ago
He came back and a sliver of hope appeared
I didn't need to think about it
I had to go to the show
I needed to let him know
Get him to change his mind
But I didn't know
That I loved him so
I didn't think about it
Until he turned and looked my way
I didn't understand
What was happening to me
Until our eyes met
And everything stopped and disappeared
I discovered in his eyes
I'd given my love to the wrong one

Waiting On You by Farewell Milwaukee (song & lyrics)

You've got love in your eyes 

You got love in your smile 

But not for me 

You got sun in your hair 

And you’ve got flowers to spare 

But none for me 

You’ve got days to fill 

And you’ve got time to kill 

But not with me 

I'm at your door 

Telling you, once more 

That I've got a love that's broken for you 

That I've got a heart that's broken in two 

That I've got a love that's only for you 

And I got memories to share 

Even if they might be broken by you 

There's a piece of my mind 

That I’m not sure I should give to you 

There's been days left behind 

That could have really used the sight of you

More Than A Memory

you're more than a memory
you've become everything
for reasons i can not explain
for I've no words to describe it
nor the means to capture it
yet, I burn for something out of reach
for something I've never had
that's long forgotten me
and still he remains more than a memory

Pieces of My Heart

Time just keeps dragging on

Just can't get you out of my mind

I can't find a way to move on

No matter how hard I try

Oh  I write this down

All the pieces of my heart

Scattering all over town

Like ashes in the dark

Beneath the bright silver moon

I'm dragging my feet on the ground

My eyes wander in search of you

But, you're nowhere to be found

So I wrote this down

With all the pieces of my heart

Shattered across the highway

Like a modern work of art

Making its way to you

Next To You (poem)

I long to curl up next to you

And feel your arms around me

Your body pressed against me

The warmth of your breath against my skin

Your eye-slashes tickling my earlobes

The sound of your heart pounding out loud

Your unique scent surrounding me

Sometimes before I close my eyes 

I envision you here at my side

Often its the only way I can sleep

To dream of you curled up to me

Always On My Mind (poem)

I start to think you've begun to fade
Then you spring up like a freight train
No matter what I do I can't fight it
It seems somehow I got locked inside
A prisoner to your memory
Yet, I seem to relish in the fantasy
Waiting for something that probably won't come
Emotions and feelings continue to beat strong
Thoughts of you never cease from my mind
Like a shadow you're always right behind

Just a Single Thought (poem)

Just a single thought of you

All at once I am happy

Its feels like the sky's blue

Has completely engulfed me

I feel like a child at play

Giggling at visions of you and me

Delightful images of your face

Your eyes as bright as sunshine

Just a single thought of you

Flutters like the wings of a butterfly 

Leaving me in a state of pure bliss

Nothing else seems to be able to do this

Just a single thought of you

Is all that I need to be instantly happy
