shadows...of you and I

I love it when I sit in the shadows of the moon
Thinking of you, thinking of me
I love it when I bathe in the cool spring rain
Thinking of days, days gone by
I love it when I am dreaming
Dreaming of you, dreaming of me
I love it when I rouse looking at you
Smiling at you, smiling at me
I love it when I sit in the shadows of the moon
Thinking of you, thinking of me!

Clouds...

You can tell I was bored on our drive to Milwaukee or was just enthralled by the clouds that day...as always I started snapping away...& here are some of the pictures.

fate

like the waters of a raging river
time passes by never to reappear
you and i too shall pass
dust to dust ashes to ashes
we too shall disappear

measure

You on a pedestal
Him in my arms
what is it I want?
what is it I crave?
Why do I crave?
Why do I want?
You on a pedestal
Him in my arms
Can it be love?
Can it be lust?
He is love and you the lust
Him in my arms
& you on a pedestal

for you

a falling star and my wish for you
a broken heart and my tears for you
a steep climb and my hand for you
a deep ocean and my arms for you
a dark night and my eyes for you
you and I one of kind
you and I ever so blind
love's embrace our destiny
our destiny, our demise!

wasted dawn

The sky was beautiful when I woke up earlier today just before dawn. Quite unusual for me to get up that early, but I had the "dream" again...and it made me restless, not to mention Raj wasn't next to me...I can't seem to stay asleep unless he's next to me...need to work on that...even he says that's unhealthy for me...as he anticipates more nights out in the future...or what if he takes a trip to India?? Will work on that...or just opt for sleep aid? huh

Back to the beautiful dawn, the colors were so breath takingly striking that I went looking for my camera....couldn't find it! Nothing new at our household...sometimes I wonder how I can find myself! Missed a beautiful dawn...maybe tomorrow?!

While driving to work, some idiot almost side swiped me near Winneconne & Commercial...really?!!! lately I have noticed more irrational drivers in the valley than ever before...where are all these idiots coming from?

Quilt

Piece by piece he collects us all.
Piece by piece he assembles us all
A cloth of different shades and colors
A cloth of different race and creed
A cloth of love and hate entwined as one
He sits on his throne & admires us all
He loves us all the same for a while
When he gets bored…he shows no mercy
Showers us with his cruelty...
Easy to please, easy to anger
When boredom gets him cornered
Piece by piece he forgets us all
Piece by piece he disassembles us all!!!

My Anguish!!!!

there isn't a day that dawns when your thoughts don't cross my mind.
there hasn't been a day that arrives without your presence in my heart.
you, my love have always been there.
you are my torment, my anguish
you are mine, yet we've never succumbed to temptation
i like the walls that stand between us and i hate them too
if these walls were to crumble
you no longer will be mine
my anguish is your thought
my anguish is the distance between us,
it is my prison,my solace.
you, my love have always been there
you, my love are my anguish, my freedom!

Calm before the storm

What a deceiving sight we see
‘tis the calm before the storm
It rolls in quietly and cunningly
When it arrives oh! We’ll know
It will be pretty & white
But wait ‘til u step outside
You will slip & slide!
