Touching Hearts

Dedicated To: Matthew Ray Gonzalez

You touch my heart, with your caring eyes, each time you look my way
In all my dreams, as time goes by
The joys and thoughts shared together, becomes stronger each second of the day

The rainbow that carries our hopes and prayers, across this wide divide
Refreshes the beauty of the arch, which stretches between our hearts

The ebb and flow of friendship developed, in our march thru life
Reminds me of the gift received, by God from high above

To one who shares this special treasure, I send my best to you
May you live a lifetime, filled with love

And the many words you'll share with us, in your earthly stay
Will dwell within our rapture hearts, to fill our lives with dreams

Rainbow Hearts

Dedicated To: Ursula, my poetry sister...

Somewhere over the rainbow, our hearts have come to meet
And each beat of the heart, reminds me of the rainbows
God sends down, for us to see

May the sign of love he created, especially for his flock
Remain within our rapture hearts, bringing joy to one and all

For his presents, is just a preview of all the gifts to come
And we must honor, what is given for he gives it to one and all
So my poetry sister, until we meet again, at the time which marks the end

Where the rainbow of his love will lead, to the Palace HE calls his home
Their we'll meet to share our thoughts, and the words to poems we'll create
Will last forever in HIS Eternity

This is my personal Rainbow Blessing, to you my poetry sister
Thank you for your caring thoughts
May God Bless, each one of you, for what you mean to me

Forgiving Heart

The whispers from your soul, which lay within my broken dreams
Reveals a secret which we hold inside, of another place and time

When we were young, carefree, and ever so shameless
In the love which we embraced, in the shadow of our minds
I think of what we instilled, and the hurt made along the way

What a web of deceit laid bare, by our lusty thoughts
But that was not to be, for the unrelenting love we shared was never meant to flourish
Nor the forbidden memories weaved together, between our wretches souls

It was just to hard to bear, for the harm I caused to the one I love
To the one who is my wife, will always remain inside of me
The tortured look within her thoughts, it's so clear for all to see

Even when she forgave me, her eyes reveal the hurt inside, for all that I've done
So now the love we once had, has been transferred to her
To my wife, who gave to me second chance, to turn my life around

So now I bid farewell to you, may God forgive our sins
For the love infused together, remains a shattered dream
That lies deep, in a forgiven heart, my love did grant to me
