Guardian Angel

I was so lonely,
A heart filled with despair,
Mourning for a lost love,
Crying tears of sorrow.

My heart had given up hope.
I had all but forgotten my dreams.
I walked alone into the night,
Under a cloak of darkness.

Suddenly a brilliant light flooded the sky,
A streak of lightening, a clap of thunder.
You appeared beneath a full moon,
And reached out to me.

I was afraid,
Afraid to let you near,
To love, to trust, to feel,
But you did not give up.

You dried my tears of sorrow.
You took my hand into your own,
And wrapped yourself around me,
Enveloping me in your warmth.

Echoes of the moonlight shined upon us,
And upon the water's edge,
As you opened up your heart to me,
And held me to it fast.

As the hours flew by I saw the vision,
That you showed me of a new day,
One of love and happiness,
One of timelessness and dreams fulfilled.

As the golden light of morning sun,
Beckoned us from the night,
You lifted me into your arms,
And carried me up to the heavens.

The new day had begun,
And I could see the light,
Like a million tiny candles,
All burning soft and bright.

Now I will not walk alone again,
I have everything I need,
For you are the guardian of my life,
An angel from a dream.

Sonnet IV

source

The moment that our hearts so kindly met,
You touched my soul just like a gentle song.
Soft spoken words of yours I can’t forget,
Sweet memory to last a lifetime long.

If I could write for you a single tune,
All dressed in blue reflective shining light,
I’d wrap it in the myst’ry of the moon,
Sung sweetly in the beauty of the night.

If you should ever feel lost or alone,
Please don’t forget that you can count on me.
The angel on your shoulder guide you home,
Because that’s where a friend should always be.

My dear sweet one, for you I’ll always pray.
One candle in the dark, I’ll light your way.

Sonnet I

source

With careful hands obeying all the rules,
On river bank we build our fine canoe.
Lest we'd be building a mere ship of fools,
To sail upon the dream of me and you.

Questions now we need no longer wrestle.
The moon reflects above us pale and white.
Though the darkness flows beneath our vessel,
We bask in beauty of her lunar light.

Lovers flowing hope we sail together.
In beauty of our trust we both believe.
Sharing moments here to last forever.
Outspoken faith in our love shan't deceive.

On river blue we sail our fine canoe,
To build upon the dream of me and you.
