"The
Messenger"
Aloft
icy breeze,
Snow-white
down in moonlight beams.
Harry
waits at home.

“Songbird”
****
“Heartstrings”
In a bird’s song,
Love is carried on.
And, with every chirp and chatter,
You can find in them what matters.
I, too, sing my song;
Much like the day is long.
My heart sings out in the words I write;
And then I lay my head at night.
So, if you see me on my perch one day,
Feel free to stop and play.
Sing your own song, straight from the heart.
For that’s where our love will start.

“Heartstrings”
Far beyond the darkest night, you can see a hint of glow.
It’s there for a reason and I thought you should know -
All those lonely nights you spent with your heart in tow,
The angels were channeling your love and putting it up for show.
Proudly hanging at the farthest end of the globe,
Your pain is being tended to and turns like a strobe.
With caring hands and loving hearts that understand and know,
Your angels replenish tainted love and send it back aglow.
So, the next time you hurt and need your love to flow;
Squint your eyes and look above at the night sky and know.
Your guardian angel is up there, he’s that that tiny glow;
Guiding your angelic crew to strengthen the heartstrings tied to your soul.

“Channeling Love”
Emptiness is strong enough to make the angels cry.
So, be gentle with the fragile hearts and let them weep at night.
And since loneliness can find us all from time to time,
Embrace those who need your love and let them know all is fine.
Once you understand that love can go askew,
Accepting those lonely days won’t seem so new.
You’ll learn to spread your wings in flight, soaring ever faster.
Until you find yourself on your way to more love and laughter.
Let that love light shine big and bright in each of our windowed souls.
The reflection of the care we show will let the world know
That love is there for each of us and needs us all to help it flow.

On a starless night
an emotionless man awoke
and he, thoughtless, heartless,
hummed and reminisced of love gone astray.
One companionless moment,
the wind howled.
The universe, boasted,
as if . . .
. . . to say,
“If I tell you the truth…”
~written by JR Boyd ~

"If I Tell You the Truth"
If I tell you the truth, will you take my hand?
Will you confirm your love from where you stand?
This fear in my heart is a double-edged sword.
Do you see how much you’re adored?
This fear in my heart spurs me on.
If I tell you the truth, my love will you don?
Reminiscent of your skin so fair,
Swathing your heart, your soul, in a love so rare?
Forever in my heart, you will always be.
Your heart and mine entwined with glee.
If I tell you the truth, your love I request.
For me, my love, you are the one . . . the best.
Remarkable love you have and give . . .
Without your love, I cannot live.
My darling love, my heart you adorn.
If I tell you the truth, your love I implore.

"My Valentine"
You are my love and Valentine
You wonder what the universe beholds
You hear the crickets playing their song
You see love in the darkest hour
You want my heart to beat with yours
You are my love and Valentine
You pretend to be the wind
You feel the breeze on the hummingbird’s wings
You touch the farthest star in the sky
You worry about my heartaches
You cry when I’m in pain
You are my love and Valentine
You understand my deepest desire
You say our love is forever
You dream of our future
You try to breathe more life into me
You hope for happiness ever after
You are my love and Valentine

"Forever"
Blake, my darling, my dearest love,
With the stars shining so brightly above,
I want you forever in my arms you see . . .
In my heart, you will perpetually be.
You have a clutch on my soul so tight,
This affection of mine is devoid of plight.
Take my hand this wondrous hour,
Consummate our love, only you have the power.

“Remembrances Begone!”
Lost in a world,
Emotions so raw.
Cold is the heart
That’s yearning to thaw.
Wandering around,
Disguising great pain.
Seeking rebound,
Love to reclaim.
The past is lost,
and this day is so long.
Hurt and disdained is
forsaken love’s song.
Torrential rains came proclaiming,
“Remembrances begone!”
This darkness, my life --
A new day brings dawn.

“Mounting Passion”
A Lover
loyal and strong
admires, desires, adores --
friendly partnering and devotedly supporting,
addicting to an innocent spirit
forlorn.

“This Here Heart”
Clutching my chest,
Thinking back in time;
I can honestly say -
This here heart
No longer is mine.
For years ago
I lost you, you see?
But, my beloved Cade
You left a piece of you…
With me.
Your precious hands
Now hold that part.
My gift to you
Is my love,
My heart.
I reach to you
And share my time.
For…now I say -
This here heart
No longer is mine.

“I Will Wait”
My love for you has grown
So very deep inside,
And for eleven years I’ve known
That this I cannot hide.
You’re why my eyes still twinkle,
Why my pain subsides.
With you love, I could never be single
And of this you must be apprised.
This ailment my friend,
It’s not an end.
You’re the delight in my heart,
Why I can ride on the wind.
The center of my bone is
Where the cancer spreads;
It causes much pain
Others do dread.
My love for you will wait
On the other side now,
And for as long as it takes,
You must smile somehow.
I tell you this
So you’ll always know.
To embrace me please,
And share your soul.
The years went fast,
I’m sure you agree.
But our love will last,
You shall see.
