"To Only You" #Poetry #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #VanMorrison "What Would I Do Without You"5/3/2019  "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. Diana Mary Sharpton© Copyright 2019 All rights Reserved "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. References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/vanmorrison/whatwouldido.html Life becomes winter without you....

 "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 © Copyright by Diana Mary Sharpton 2013-2019 "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 References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/knockinonheavensdoor.html Sugar you have touched my soul, my heart and my mind... I love every inch of you... "Trinity Sunset" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ Diana Krall "Wide River To Cross"#LoveOfMyLife9/14/2018
 "Trinity Sunset" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Not from the whole wide world I choose thee, Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea! The wide, wide world could not enclose thee, For thou art the whole wide world to me." - R. W. Gilder Talk To Me by Suzanne Hayasaki Sit with me in the shade of this tree. Tell me who you were, who you are, And who it is you wish to be. Talk to me of days gone by and days to come. Talk to me of warm mornings, cool evenings, And cold nights, writing by candlelight. Tell me of the epic that will not come. Tell me of the love poems that continue to flow, Unread, unpublished, unappreciated, Unseen by the eyes that inspire them. Tell me of your ambitions, your wishes, Your vision of what you could be If someone would take the time to read The words you put to paper so passionately. Recite and I will listen. Hypnotize me with your rhymes. Lull me with the rhythms of your speech. Create a complete world with your words And let your voice lead us both Where you want us to go. The epic is an oral tradition. Poetry is meant to be heard not read. Don’t look for your story in the structure. Don’t expect to work magic if you are counting feet. Just be. Just speak. Just believe That within you is beauty And release it. "Wide River To Cross" There's a sound in the wind, blowing down the road I've been I can hear it cry while shadows steal the Sun But I can not look back now, come too far to turn around And there's still a race ahead, I must run I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I have stumbled, I have strayed You can trace the tracks I've made All across the memories, why aren't we gone But I'm just a refugee, won't you sing a prayer for me Cause sometimes even the strongest soldiers falls I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross References: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dianakrall/widerivertocross.html Video: Diana Krall - Published on Sep 11, 2012 Personal Note: To the man I love, I want you morning, noon and night. I think of you always, every minute of the day. What are you doing today? How did you feel? Did you laugh and think about me? Did you take long steps or sit down? Did you get angry and shrugged it off? Dance with this gal my darling. The journey is not over yet. It's you that bring the sun to my rainy days and without you I am lost. Consistency spells affection. Affection is the response to my emotion, I have for you. You are the love of my life. Diana  "Look at Me Baby" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.” ––by Jamie McGuire This post is mainly for entertainment value...lol! I am feeling a little "Soulish". Check out the words before you make judgement. Pretty much we all go through these types of emotions; however at the end of the day, one stays if there is real love. There's Something On Your Mind B.B. King There's something on your mind By the way you look at me There is something on your mind, baby By the way you look at me And what you're thinking brings happiness Oh, and it bring misery Please, please, don't try to tell me I think, I, I understand No, no, don't try to tell me, baby 'Cause I think, I, I understand You want me to try and forget you Well, I'll do, baby, I'll do the best I can You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone And you know that someone don't love you It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know That the someone that you're in love with Is in love with your best friend And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you Rocking your cradle, you know, better Than you can rock your cradle yourself Then there's only one thing for you to do You just pack your clothes turn around And slowly walk out of the door Look over your left shoulder as you go out Then you hang your head and you say Oh please don't try to tell me Uh huh, I think, I understand No, no, no, no please don't try to tell me Because you think, you think I understand Oh you want me to try, to try to forget you, baby And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can You know after you have done all you could do And you can't take no more, then you go downtown You get your big baseball bat And you come back on the scene Where they both are still together And then you just go and kick down the door Now as you kick down the door you just start Beating the hell of everybody that you can see Everybody that comes through the door And just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try To forgive her, then out comes another one of your friends And that really blows your mind so you go and think about You say to yourself, baby I realize I've done wrong But please forgive me and with a smirky smile on her face Then she look up at you and she say If you ever think about me (Oh I think about you, baby) If you ever change your mind (Oh you're staying on my mind, baby) If you ever think about me (Oh I think, I think about you all the time) And if I ever cross your mind (You stay on my mind) Well, you know, you know You know I'm yours And I know, I know you got to be mine (Yeah) There's something on your mind, be I can tell by the way you look at me (Oh, there's something, on my mind, baby) There is something on your mind (Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind) By the way you look at me (Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me) And what you're thinking brings happiness (Yes, baby) Oh and it can bring misery (Yes, all right) Songwriters: Big Jay McNeely There's Something On Your Mind lyrics © BMG Rights Management You know I am yours Sugar... lovin' the thought of you; however because of my unemployment situation, I am feeling that line beating the "Hell" out of someone other than you...lol!  "You Are My Everything" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.” ― Henry David Thoreau Aretha Franklin died today, 08/16/2018, and with much sadness I remember how much she touched my life, heart, soul with her brilliant songs. RIP dear lady heaven has called. "A Change Is Gonna Come" There's an old friend that I once heard say Somethin' that touched my heart, and it began this way: I was born by the river, in a little tent; And just like the river, I've been runnin' every since... He said, "It's been a long time comin', but I know my change is gonna come..." Oh, yeah... He said, "It's been too hard livin', but I'm afraid to die; I might not be if I knew what was up there beyond the sky... It's been a long, a long time comin', but I know my change has got to come..." Oh, yeah... I went... I went to my brother And I asked him, "Brother, could you help me, please?" He said, "Good sister, I'd like to, but I'm not able..." And when I, when I looked around, I was right back down, down on my bended knees, Yes, I was! Oh! There've been times that I thought... I thought that I wouldn't last for long, But somehow, right now, I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on... I tell you that it's been a long... and, oh, it's been an uphill journey all the way, But I know, I know, I know, I know my change is gonna come... Sometimes, I've had to cry all night long - yes, I did; Sometimes, I had to give up right for what I knew was wrong... Yeah, it's been an uphill journey! It's sure been a long way comin'... yes, it has... It's been real hard every step of the way, But I believe, I believe, this evenin', my change has come... Yeah! I tell you that my change has come References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/arethafranklin/achangeisgonnacome.html Love you Sugar... you are the heart of me. Nothing changes this fact.  The Rose by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.” ― Kurt Vonnegut New brilliant music by Calum Scott. "You Are The Reason" There goes my heart beating Cause you are the reason I'm losing my sleep Please come back now There goes my mind racing And you are the reason That I'm still breathing I'm hopeless now I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, cause I need you to see That you are the reason There goes my hands shaking And you are the reason My heart keeps bleeding And I need you now If I could turn back the clock I'd make sure the light defeated the dark I'd spend every hour, of every day Keeping you safe I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, cause I need you to see That you are the reason I don't wanna fight no more I don't wanna hide no more I don't wanna cry no more Come back I need you to hold me (You are the reason) Come a little closer now Just a little closer now Come a little closer I need you to hold me tonight I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Cause I need you to see That you are the reason References: Lyrics - https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/calumscott/youarethereason.html Sugar, the question is do I live in fantasy or reality? The truth of the matter is that I live my life in both and everyone does as well. My current reality is that I lost my job on 06/28/2018. That I have sent out 500 resumes without much luck. That I cannot retire until January so I live on unemployment, food stamps and the kindness of family members. That I do love you. These are real feelings and facts. I wish the latter was a bad dream and soon I will wake up... no such luck. Now lets tackle fantasy. I definitely play with this area in my life for physical satisfaction, for now, because the reality is I do not share a bed with another person. Everyone does this at one point or another. Finally, I can only know facts on fantasy and reality about myself and I can only perceive those facts in others. I certainly hope those perceived moments are real... I need you Sugar...Ask me my feelings if you need to know and let me talk to you about yours.  "Unconscious Beauty" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.” ― E.E. Cummings Personal Note: Does one settle because the path is easy? All one has to do is the same as yesterday and the day before. Is this ones happiness? If it is, then look no further and if it is not then soul searching is in order. Listen to ones heart screaming for a different view. A choice completely outside of your comfort zone. As more time ticks away the bigger the risk appears. Is it possible to find love, happiness, success after sixty? Is it possible to grab that golden ring and go for it? Yes; however one must be willing to try something completely new and not give up at the steepest part of the climb. The commitment is to happiness and the formula is not one thing (success, passion, dreams or love); it is a balance in all. One must be able to walk away from yesterday. I heard an amazing new song produce by U2 titled "Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way". The video is powerful as well. I highly recommend a few minutes of your time. "Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way" The door is open to go through If I could I would come too But the path is made by you As you're walking start singing and stop talking Oh, if I could hear myself when I say Oh, love is bigger than anything in its way So young to be the words of your own song I know the rage in you is strong Write a world where we can belong To each other and sing it like no other Oh, if I could hear myself when I say Oh, love is bigger than anything in it's way If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay Oh, sing your song Let your song be sung If you listen you can hear the silence say When you think you're done You've just begun Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way Reference: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/u2band/loveisbiggerthananythinginitsway.html I love you dear Sugar... lets dance under the moonlight in that club foot sway :)  "Pondering" by Diana Mary Sharpton (c) Copywrite Introduction: “Without music, life would be a mistake.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche A little jazzy sound for this evening.... with that glass of "RED".... and You...

It is all locked up and won't come out. Scare to think about tomorrow, while too sad to look back on yesterday. Nothing makes sense anymore. I had another birthday this week. It's not why I 'm blue... but then in a way it is. I have heard from so many wonderful friends and family members, yet the couple of people I looked for the most have forgotten me again. 2nd year in a row. I wonder what this means. So I listen to music. It speaks for me. The song I am featuring is by Van Morrison. He is absolutely brilliant. Pick up some of his albums, you will want to buy them all. The song featured on this post is titled "Take Me Back". It brings into mind reminiscing, soul searching, and absolutely perfect for this mood in blue. "Take Me Back" I've been walking by the river I've been walking down by the water I've been walking down by the river I've been feeling so sad and blue I've been thinking, I've been thinking, I've been thinking, I've been thinking, I've been thinking, I've been thinking, Ah there's so much suffering, and it's Too much confusion, too much, too much confusion in the world Take me back, take me back, take me back Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back Take me way back, take me way back, ah!

 "Facing The Sun" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "The music plays . . . and your sense of reality is heightened to a dream." ― David Mutti Clark "Holding On" Do you know what I'm thinking about you all the time Do you know when I'm dreaming and wishing you were mine Girl, when you standing next to me There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be Till the day when you're in my arms I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Do you know what I'm feeling right down to my soul Well, my senses are reeling and I might just lose control Girl, when you far away from me I'm disconnected from my destiny Till the day when you're by my side I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on You say your friends and your family could never take a man like me Why should I care what they talk about Baby take a chance, you'll see Knowing you standing close to me There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be Till the day when you're in my arms I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on.

I haven't given up on you... Lov U so much xoxox D~  "The Bee In Her Bonnet" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.” ― Willa Cather "Colder Weather" She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in, And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay, She's answered by the tail lights shining through the window pane [Chorus:] He said I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? She said you're ramblin' man You ain't ever gonna change You got a gypsy soul to blame And you were born for leavin'. At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln, The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin', And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same ol' light a-shinin', He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him [Chorus:] He said I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? She said you're ramblin' man You ain't ever gonna change You got a gypsy soul to blame And you were born for leavin' (born for leavin') Well, it's a winding road When you're in the lost and found You're a lover – I'm a runner And we go 'round 'n 'round And I love you but I leave you I don't want you but I need you You know it's you who calls me back here, baby Oh I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? Cause I'm a ramblin' man I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change) I got a gypsy soul to blame And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin') When I close my eyes I see you No matter where I am I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines I'm with your ghost again It's a shame about the weather But I know soon we'll be together And I can't wait 'til then I can't wait 'til then Personal Note: I love this group, they are just brilliant as they sing this song... Love is full of contradictions... at the end will love win? That depends on desire! I hope it does... I miss you terribly Sugar...

Stop hiding from me. I know you are and this is what hurts. I love you dearly and need for you to stand by me as I have stood by you. It is easy man just show up. Don't worry about all the small stuff.... you will be okay. No matter what kind of storm that befalls us, don't ever give up, someone love you and that is important. XOXO Diana  "A Morning On Fire" by Diana Mary Sharpton 'Introduction: “Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret. Life takes on a neat simplicity, too. Time ceases to have any meaning. When it is dark, you go to bed, and when it is light again you get up, and everything in between is just in between. It’s quite wonderful, really. You have no engagements, commitments, obligations, or duties; no special ambitions and only the smallest, least complicated of wants; you exist in a tranquil tedium, serenely beyond the reach of exasperation, “far removed from the seats of strife,” as the early explorer and botanist William Bartram put it. All that is required of you is a willingness to trudge. There is no point in hurrying because you are not actually going anywhere. However far or long you plod, you are always in the same place: in the woods. It’s where you were yesterday, where you will be tomorrow. The woods is one boundless singularity. Every bend in the path presents a prospect indistinguishable from every other, every glimpse into the trees the same tangled mass. For all you know, your route could describe a very large, pointless circle. In a way, it would hardly matter. At times, you become almost certain that you slabbed this hillside three days ago, crossed this stream yesterday, clambered over this fallen tree at least twice today already. But most of the time you don’t think. No point. Instead, you exist in a kind of mobile Zen mode, your brain like a balloon tethered with string, accompanying but not actually part of the body below. Walking for hours and miles becomes as automatic, as unremarkable, as breathing. At the end of the day you don’t think, “Hey, I did sixteen miles today,” any more than you think, “Hey, I took eight-thousand breaths today.” It’s just what you do.” ― Bill Bryson I Want to Walk with You I keep finding this decision hard I keep finding a room that's in the dark I don't know, shed some light on it Maybe save me from what i'm feeling this lonely day Cause the secret's out and the secret's clear What I want Yes I want to walk with you I want to hear you say "Yes I want that too" I want to walk, I want to walk with you I want to hear you say "Yes I want that too" Can I tell you wht I cannot tell myself In my thoughts there's a voice calling "You will be lost" In my life I deny, deny this heavy load And obsession is clearly my need to know Can I let it out, can I let you know What I want I don't want to run from this It seem's like it'd be hard to do now I don't want to lose my head Falling down infront of you I don't want to lose my head now It could be so easy to do If I could find a reason why I'd stay here, stay here, stay here Stay here, stay I want to give love I want to share I want to show you how much I care I want to hold you I want to touch I want to give my love away I want to walk I want to walk I want to know what is in my soul Opinion: The introduction is more than just a quote about walking. Read it again. Then close your eyes and think about Bill's message. It's truly three dimensional or is this complexity really about one's personality? If so, what is Bill's lesson? On a personal message, I have been down lately. The "Blues" are eating me alive. Nothing seems to click and or connect. Kind of like the roller coaster ride that is on it's way down about to hit bottom. The pictures I take do not seem to be my best, on and on, even to the fact that now I cannot get my Facebook notifications to work properly. I have worked on this issue for hours to no avail. Almost like that time when my Twitter notifications did not work for a couple of months. Then one day out of the blue they started working. I give up! The main reason why this is so important is that notifications are the only way I know who is responding to my posts, who is interested, who follows me, and who are the real people in my life/circle/journey. Yes, I spend a lot of time on Social Media promoting my work and the work of others. So, notifications are crucial in helping me go in the right direction... Work... this is one of the big ones so... I will leave it alone. Third subject: This song is by the brilliant Toni Childs. I wish she would come back on stage and sing... We have so little music from this gifted artist... Last but definitely not least, I miss you Sugar. I picked this song for you... I hope you enjoy it as much as I do... wonderful lyrics and tone... Let's talk soon... please :)  "Shine - My Love" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “But nothing makes a room feel emptier than wanting someone in it.” ― Calla Quinn I have been in the dumps lately. Let's see why... First Reason: A good friend from work retired and this was her last week. She is moving back home to Waco and leaving that horrible commute behind. Her dream was to get a job close to home to be with her husband through out the week and she finally got one. I am very happy for her but sad at the same time. Second Reason: I had a small wreck in my somewhat new car. This hurt my feelings but happy no one was hurt. So, I will get over it with a deductible in hand... lol! Third Reason: There is an artist website which I am a member and also part of various groups. Well this week some of those group Admins sent out these ridiculous emails to group members. One was so mean spirited, threatening expulsion if members did not follow the rules and accusing people of not being artists. Just an opinion but, negativity is never a catalyst to creativity. If being an Admin has this type of affect on your emotions, it's time to give it up... just saying. I look forword to the long week-end! "Time After Time" Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick And think of you Caught up in circles confusion Is nothing new Flashback - warm nights Almost left behind Suitcases of memories Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me, I can't hear What you've said Then you say - go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds [Chorus] If you're lost you can look - and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting Time after time After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching through windows - you're wondering If I'm OK Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time [Chorus] You said go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds [Chorus] Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time I need you in my life Sugar and miss you terribly...  "You Light Up My Life" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “You are a woman and I am a man and we belong in the dark together.” ― Caroline Kepnes A Letter To My Love: Sugar, remember when I said "I love you", the words come from my soul. Neither dust, wind, rain nor snow will change anything, not even time. You are the strength and total man I need in my life, not even the ages merciless creep can ever change this fact. I walk with you, in love! I dedicate this song to you darling: "The Power Of Love" The whispers in the morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling by like thunder now As I look in your eyes I hold on to your whole body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender A love that I could not forsake 'Cause I'm your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can Lost is how I'm feeling Lying in your arms When the world outside's too much to take That all ends when I'm with you Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away Never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side 'Cause I'm your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The sound of your heart beating Made it clear suddenly The feeling that I can't go on Is light years away 'Cause I'm your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'm gonna do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The power of love The power of love Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The power of love As I look into your eyes The power of love I love you sugar in the package that you come in! |

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.” Categories
