"Holding On" #Poetry #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #DianaKrall "This Dream Of You" #ILovU2TheEnd

Picture"Holding On" by Diana Mary Sharpton
 Introduction: “There is only what you want and what happens. There is only grabbing on and holding tight in the darkness.”
― Lauren Oliver,



Holding On

It’s autumn now in this year of colored stones
Stirring to a brilliant sun, crisp breeze; yet alone
Not lost, only blessed, maybe melancholy, you see
Happy during moments that silently drift to sea

Nothing changes but time from my point of view
As I investigate that mirror to see someone new
Belief, regard, desires, sentiments, all are clues
I was there all along holding on to this love for you

Diana Mary Sharpton © copywrite 2020 All Rights Reserved   

To accompany this poem,  I am add a brilliant artist Diana Krall - with a brand new song titled "This Dream Of You
"(2). It was published on YouTube Sep 25, 2020 by Diana Krall.

Diana Krall just release a new albumn titled This Dream of You and this song is the 5th track. I have added the lyrics for your reading pleasure. 

"This Dream Of You "
(originally by Bob Dylan)


How long can I stay in this nowhere café
Before night turns into day
I wonder why I'm so frightened of dawn
All I have, all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

There's a moment when all old things become new again
But that moment might have come and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

I look away, but I keep seeing it
I don't want to believe, but I keep believing it
Shadows dance upon the wall
Shadows that seem to know it all

Am I too blind to see?
Is my heart playing tricks on me?
I'm lost in the crowd
All my tears are gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

Everything I touch seems to disappear
Everywhere I turn you are always here
I'll run this race until my earthly death
I'll defend this place with my dying breath

From a cheerless room in a curtained gloom
I saw a star from heaven fall
I turned and looked again but it was gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on


I hope you have a blessed morning or evening and thank you for your continued support.
My music selection, My thoughts, My emotions, My language.

Stay Safe!

Love and Peace always Diana

“To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love.. is everything."

― ~Bill Russell

Breath in Life
by Diana Mary Sharpton (c) 2020

Climbing that hill one day to the next
Adrift, not knowing what to appeal less
It’s like time means nothing to you at all
Yet, a solemn fee’s trapped in this forestall
 
Where do dreams come from anyway?
Are they fears or desires dismissed in the light of day?
Or promises weighted down in intervals of delay…
And ultimately trivialized in your mind to my dismay.
 
For real this time… the boomer knows
No matter what you say to the shadows
Heeding without ears in darken halls...
Stop erecting all these secret damnable walls…
 
I need you…
As the breath in life needs its soul…
And miss you…
As the dry desert hopes for rain that's icy cold…
 
I love you…
Like the taste of a fresh spring breeze…
 And want you…
For it’s you, I want to squeeze and tease….


About the Singers - Teskey Brothers:
"The Teskey Brothers are a rare musical gem. Honouring that old school Motown sound and working it into something of their very own, the band have received widespread acclaim for their gorgeous debut album Half Mile Harvest. A raw combination of soul and blues, the record has warmed the hearts of listeners everywhere with it’s melancholic, analogue tones. Written by all four band members, the album was recorded in their own home studio, self-produced and released independently. Listening to the record you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the work of Stax Records alumni in Memphis circa ‘67 rather than a group of twenty-somethings from the Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne. The feeling is as old as the tape machine it was recorded on and it’s a true expression of love. Onstage singer Josh Teskey’s smoked whiskey voice defies expectation as the band around him hold an irresistible groove. Their undeniable live show has wowed audiences around the world, leaving them infected with soul and blues."

Paint My Heart

The Teskey Brothers
Heavy traffic
On empty skies
Empty streets
Fill my eyes
I paint my heart
With something new
Then leave it all
I'll leave it all to you
If the cold winds coming
Don't let it stay
I know I'll try
Harder every day
I paint my heart
With something new, then I'll give it all
I'll give it all
Back to you
Yeah
In a letter
That you sent to me
Got my heart
For me to see
I'll paint it
With something new, then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Back to you
Yeah you
Yeah
Yeah
In a letter
A letter you sent to me
Got my heart
For me to see
I'll paint it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
With something new
Then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Back to you

PictureSpringtime & Joy by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction: “Do it again.
Play it again. Sing it again. Read it again. Write it again. Sketch it again. Rehearse it again. Run it again. Try it again.
Because again is practice, and practice is improvement, and improvement only leads to perfection.”

― Richelle E. Goodrich

It has been a violent, turbulent time for the world; however my love for you is in safe place. It's attached to this soul of mine.

Tenderness

I missed that song at the doorway of sunrise
So, clouds slowly darken as a day went awry
Was it my turn or did you just forget?
Seems like lately we’ve lost an intricate step

The dance is everything as you well know
Thinking out loud, you, I love; I’ll never let go
All those fluctuations in the “River's” stream
Makes fish crazy enough they want to scream

Hiding from change; not wanting to blink
Be it ridiculous to most; however few might think
Life without a morning song will always be incomplete
Today be it late; yet still in time with tenderness it’s sent

Make You Feel My Love

Adele
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
To make you feel my love

A Marverick #Poetry by Diana Mary Sharpton w/Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night #Musicvideo

12/31/2019

"Blair Stuart" by Blair Stuart Photography


Introduction: “I personally believe mavericks are people who write their own rulebook. They are the ones who act first and talk later. They are fiercely independent thinkers who know how to fight the lizard brain (to use Seth Godin’s term). I don’t believe many are born, rather they are products of an environment, or their experiences.

They are usually the people that find the accepted norm does not meet their requirements and have the self-confidence, appetite, independence, degree of self reliance and sufficient desire to carve out their own niche in life.

I believe a maverick thinker can take a new idea, champion it, and push it beyond the ability of a normal person to do so. I also believe the best mavericks can build a team, can motivate with their vision, their passion, and can pull together others to accomplish great things. A wise maverick knows that they need others to give full form to their views and can gather these necessary contributors around them.

Mavericks, in my experience, fall into various categories – a/ the totally off-the-wall, uncontrollable genius who won’t listen to anyone; b/ the person who thinks that they have the ONLY solution to a challenge but prepared to consider others’ views on how to conquer the world &, finally, the person who thinks laterally to overcome problems considered to be irresolvable. I like in particular the third category.

The upside is that mavericks, because of their different outlook on life, often sees opportunities and solutions that others cannot. But the downside is that often, because in life there is always some degree of luck in success (i.e. being in the right place at the right time), mavericks that fail are often ridiculed for their unorthodox approach. However when they succeed they are acclaimed for their inspiration. It is indeed a fine line they walk in life.” 
― Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics



A Maverick
As water flows into time; humanity propels an infinite truest.
He’s not lost; just complicated, an enigma, between custom and thirst.
The wind’s his mistress; transfixing existing depths hurled to a pause,
In pursuit; of beauty with a lens, resolute however never resolved.

He is a man that walks a path bequeathed in honor and dignity,
A truth akin to surges from an ocean controlled by the anger in wind,
Centered in his frame; carrying it bearing no disrepute,
Yet there’s that wrinkle, a wanton speck in tenderness, moot.
 
Alike a smoothed bolder splitting the natural flow in a stream,
Or a lengthy journey commenced awaiting its symmetry.
Not the complete man, a tersely fragment lodged in his soul,
And at times between blinks it leaves him bare and cold.

Shaking his head to mend the painful silliness that seems to append,
And focus on the grace of life in the now, irrespective to the journey’s end.
Distinctive yet rebellious, perceptions tend to send,
For his allure’s an unorthodox merit of being a maverick among men.


I wrote this poem several years ago based on my impression of Blair Stuart. I hit the nail on the head, so to speak.... :)

I have changed the music up to Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night which in my opinion fits this post and Blair's personality the best... Take a listen... remember people will show you how they feel.
Need your loving Sugar...

Introduction: 
Through the blackest night, morning gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn. ~Robert Brault

​






Gift of Love
If I wake, Lord…
walk me through the hours of tomorrow
help me breath in the glory that's living; each day
hoping, loving, laughing until night falls
this I quietly pray...

Should  I die, Lord...
in the darkness of midnight
comfort him as the sun slowly begins to rises 
remind him to walk in honor of this song
and the gift of love that crossed into our lives


Diana Mary Sharpton © 2019 copywrite all rights reserved



"Pledging My Love"

Forever my darling, our love will be true
Always and forever, I'll love only you
Just promise me darling, your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways

My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways

"Among the Crowd" By Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction:
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. ” –
William Shakespeare

I finally found the lyrics



That's the Way I Feel About It!


Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it
Everybody wants love
But everybody's afraid of love
You know, I'm a true believer
If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toil and strife
Ooh You're pushin' my love
A little bit too far
I don't think you know
I don't think you know how blest you are
And your friend Annie May tell you all she see
Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I know you've been hurt and so have many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru
Put you thru, put you thru
Trust in me, my dear, have no fear
You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
(Any of us can leave for a long adventure)
That's the way I feel about 'cha
Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, girl
Dig a little deeper
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha

The Battle
I heard the words "I can't love". Is this true?
Or were they meant for the world; a whispered clue
 
Tell me, did you hear them too?
 
Thank God, I was born indifferent, sightless and rash
Waiting for my sweet love into my soul he’d crash
 
So why the pain?
 I guess I really do know….
Maybe, it's the battle between mind and soul...

Picture"Majestic" By Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction: “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” ― Carl Sagan

To Only You
I can’t explain it! It’s like running furiously lost time
Trying to find that moment that’s passing me by
It’s a quiet sadness, only I know to feel
As I laugh in days to nights the skin, I peel
 
How can love evoke behavior like this?
From agony to seconds knotted in fanciful bliss
An energy laden in the flames of unfettered appeal
Which is the true secret this soul must reveal
 
To only you, my love is primal, tender and benign
Saith I to you seeking moments shared at your side.

"What Would I Do"

If you leave me, if you grieve me
What would I do without you to see me through.
If you hurt me, if you desert me
What would I do, without you, to see me through.

What would I do
Tell me I wanna know
Who would I see
What would I know.

Well I'm crazy about my baby
What would I do without you, to see me through.
What would I do
Tell me I wanna know
Who would I see
Where would I go.

Well I'm crazy about my baby
What would I do without you, to see me through.

"Canary Yellow" by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction: ​“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” 
― Mandy Hale

Can't seem to get this song out of my head, I heard it on the way home last Friday. I plan on retiring soon... or let's say not soon enough. Waiting for my paperwork to show-up. We all go through times that are hard, easy and happy.

God bless me to make it to that happy point... even though it may be hard. The below poem is an internal struggle, I went through a few years ago. The good news is that this battle has become less and less each day. Isn't that something!

I recently moved to a small one bedroom and my children stayed in my old apartment. The complex did us a solid and painted both units and laid new carpet. I just love both apartments. The amazing things is that the battle my son and I were in has vanished. He loves me now! I am blessed... yes indeed.

I love the color of cobalt blue; however I am going to add to this list candy apple red, jet black, soft grey and canary yellow with the brilliance of them all dancing in my new apartment for me to enjoy every minute of the day.

Yes, I can now walk around in my skin, wash clothes when I want, make noise, food lasts a week, no dishes in the sink and there are quiet moments when needed... This move has been an amazing lift to my outlook and mood. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and miss them, but they needed for me to move out...lol!


Flock of Loons
by Diana Mary Sharpton

Churning thoughts drift as insignificant balloons, 
Springing upward into flight,
As a flock of sultry loons
Suddenly! Ear-piercing, there’s a CLASH,
Breaking tranquility, 
A complete sound botch, 
As birds airlift from the distant loch
Reminiscence, it’s all so pristine, 
As a fresh dewy morning, 
Crisp, green and serene
Yes, I crossed the traverse today, 
And faced a demon or two, along my way, 
There’s no hiding from time, 
It slams the soul in discomfort, 
Slowly crawling up between nerve and spine

One thing doesn’t change, 
It’s life’s impression, 
Washing down my face, 
Dictating pace,
And clocking my next sensation or taste

I looked in the mirror, today 
Bewildered, I would say
Instead of me, I saw you 
Wondering who it was looking so cool
I knew you but you looked through me, 
Seeing nothing relevant, 
Just a vastness, encompassing the deep blue sea, 
The difference felt little frightening too! An awkwardness, see,
Because, I had found consolation without your soul in me

What would I do? To merge the two! 
NOW and THEN, 
Split apart by sadness, loss, denial, revenge and sin, 
It’s just NOW, so I opened the reflection and let you in, 
Touched by this commotion,
You reconciled to NOW and I to THEN

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"
(from "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" soundtrack)

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Picture"Burning Red" By Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction: Between a million yesterdays and a million tomorrows, there's only one today. And I would never let it pass without telling you I'm thinking of you. Mitch Cuento​

Shadows of Dawn
If you knew the beat in my heart, what would you say?
If you knew the color of this burn, would 
you even reach out or care?
If I died tomorrow, would you come to say goodbye?

Time keeps moving without notice...

One must speak out loud to be heard or keep quite in a lie.

I will look for the sunrise tomorrow to speak in the shadows of a cold autumn dawn...
And whisper to you... I  Still ... Love You

"Gentle On My Mind"
(originally by John Hartford)

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a rustling, cold towel, and
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
You're gentle on my mind

Introduction:
“If you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three.” 
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A Hot Bath
Taking a slow hot bath; shaving vital places
A plot for lips when tasting intimate spaces
And dreaming about those nibbles 
Which cause mind blowing giggles

Oh… I can hardly wait for your touch today…

I'm So Excited
The Pointer Sisters
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
We'll have a good time, baby, don't you worry
And if we're still playin' around, boy, that's just fine
Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, I want you
Oh boy, I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow, I'll let it go
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you
I'm so excited (look what you do to me), and I just can't hide it (you got me burning up)
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it (yeah)
I'm so excited (how did you get to me?), and I can't deny, no, no, no (I've got to give it up)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)I know, I know, that I want you
I'm so excited (look what you do to me), oh boy (you got me burning up)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey I think I like it (yeah)
I'm so excited (how did you get to me?), you got me (I've got to give it up)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Oh, ooh I like it boy
I'm so excited (look what you do to me), oh, you got me burning up (burning up)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, ow)

Picture"A Little Bit of Heaven" by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction: 
“Why the sea?' he asked.
I smiled, meeting his eyes and seeing the colour I was describing.
'Because it's such a magical colour, so pretty and powerful all at the same time; think about what the water is, how demanding it can be one minute, then how calm and serene it can be the next.” 

― Angel McGregor





​A Blue Azure


There is no boundary to time or shadow
Except passionate outbursts that set and lasso.

I think about it every minute… until then
Knowing nothing can ever stop this wind.

One step… to another… then one more… 
Steady! Keep focused on that brown door.

It’s honey… no craving… hell no, it’s altogether
It’s heavy… no hot… truthfully, it’s light as a feather.

It’s you… it’s me… past the door to a blue azure
Fly, drive, run, walk , or even crawl… I’m yours…

Lay back baby - close your eyes 
Let me do everything your heart desires 
When I think of the years makin' love to you 
There still ain't nothin' I'd rather do 
There's somethin' I can't deny 
You sure know how ta move this guy

Ya babe in every way - 
You're still beautiful to me 
I just - have ta say - 
You're still beautiful to me - can't ya see

Still feels good - still runs deep 
When you get close babe - I still get weak 
Cuz in these arms - is where you belong 
We're still goin' strong - so glad that you came along 
Hey babe you're still number one 

Oh can't ya see - you're still beautiful to me 
You'll always be so beautiful to me 
Ya babe in every way - you're still beautiful to me

Introduction:
“The human touch is that little snippet of physical affection that brings a bit of comfort, support, and kindness. It doesn’t take much from the one who gives it, but can make a huge difference in the one who receives it.” 
― Mya Robarts


On the Square
Talk to me please, darling, tonight…
Touch me with your lips in nibbles and bits
As you have become the love of my life.

I miss you; I need to come home
I'm lost in the darkness of an endless storm
Where lightning strikes and clouds form

So, tell me, do you still care?
I do, and I dare!
Love for you is on the square…

Home Again

Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight
I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feeling right

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feeling right
Till I'm home again and feeling right

I wanna be home again and feeling right

Nothing else matters Sugar.... say something. stand by your friend. It is a selfish call but I need you... xoxo

Picture"The Morning Dance" by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction:
“We've lost a lot of years, but you can't lose love. Not real love. It stays locked inside you, ready for whenever you are strong enough to find it again.” 
― Martina Boone

Our Dance
Locked in this room with no windows or light
It’s icy cold to bare skin; a constant pain, I fight
Escape would taste like honey dipped in lime
God! I beg you, release this soul; give me love

Give him time….

Walking in circles around and again
A hopelessness it almost seems
Let me shed this skin; let me rip it from these bones
So that flesh falls on to the unsympathetic stones

Maybe then… the door will open to a golden sunrise

I am distressed beyond what a mind can endure
Sitting in this dark clammy room; Is this it? No, I am sure….
So, I leave this body; climbing into all those sweet dreams
Surrounded in music it's our dance; that’s what matters to me…

 It's my honest opinion that being in-love can bring the extremes in emotions. These are the lyrics:

"In The Name Of Love"
(with Bebe Rexha)

[Bebe Rexha:]
If I told you this was only gonna hurt
If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn
Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first?
Do it all in the name of love
Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?
In the darkness, in the middle of the night
In the silence, when there's no one by your side
Would you call in the name of love?

In the name of love, name of love
In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
Love

If I told you we could bathe in all the lights
Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky?
Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights?
Would you fall in the name of love?
When there's madness, when there's poison in your head
When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed
I will hold you in the depths of your despair
And it's all in the name of love

In the name of love, name of love
In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
Love

I wanna testify
Scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
And it's all in the name of love
I wanna testify
Scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
And it's all in the name of love

In the name of love, name of love
In the name of love, name of love

In the name of love
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
In the name, name
In the name of
Love


​I miss you Sugar....If I become silent, know I am waiting and wanting you..... xxxx

"Simply Gentle Blue" by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction:
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body."
~Martha Graham


"As He Leads"

Sunday morning: Autumn slowly enfolds and sets in
Cooler, a briskness with all those desires it brings.
I can see them swaying tightly to this jazzy tune
As the Harvest sun rises in a sky that’s deeply blue.

And he leads…
Gently turning her face towards him; there’s a quiet recess,
Kissing in distinct affection to a desire this witness can confess.
The music continues as they return to dancing with ease
Whirling her around in step whilst she follows this lead.

Dreams…
Are meant to be realized; Like this dance, I want with you
Be it under a morning or evening sun; on a beach or in this room
The point being that all is not time wasted; it’s real and true
For one that dreams moment to moment of love, with you.

I am added the lyrics to the beautiful song sung by Van Morrison. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

"If You Love Me"
If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should we be apart
If you love me

If you love me
You will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause I love you

Affinity and communication
That is reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause I love you

​Cause yes, I love you Sugar...

PictureFrom Shadows by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction:
“The question, love, is whether you want me enough to take the risk.” 
― Lisa Kleypas


Songs
Eyes l
ocked in place
Are you there? I didn't see you today?
Maybe this fever kept me away…
Who can really say…
 
I have been sick, in that shell
It’s comfortable, quiet, my kind hell
Yet, the sun will rise to summer dew
And songs of joy and love will renew

​And 
I remain blue to the core
In love with you, wanting more
And I'm... the livin' you passionately need
It’s no secret this thing between you and me...

The song for this evening is titled "Need The Sun To Break" and it is sung by the talented James Bay these are the words
"Need The Sun To Break"
I'm halfway gone, sleepless I'm battle-worn
You're all I want, so bring me the dawn
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, all my luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need and
I hope that I'm not too late, I hope I'm not too late
Back of the room, how come my friends already know you?
I feel like a kid, too shy to speak up so I keep it hid
Oh butterflies, you steal my sleep each night
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, all my luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need and
I hope I'm not too late, and I hope I'm not too late
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh no
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, all my luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need
I hope that I'm not too late, and I hope I'm not too late
Oh now yes I hope I'm not too late
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh


Yes, I love you Sugar...

    Diana Mary Sharpton

    “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” 
    ― Pablo Neruda, 
    100 Love Sonnets
