Heavens On Fire RL Wife N Owner of Woodie's blog: "Together At Last"

Throughout life there are lessons to be learned either through the mind, the Heart and even The Soul. Some lead their lives through their Heart while others lead with their mind. But if you can balance both with your Soul, then your ahead of Life. At times, one may step over the line and take over for a brief moment. There is a saying, The moment we are born is the moment we start to die. From Birth to death, We learn from experiences and choices that we take during that time. We don't always get them right the first time. Some may never understand what it's like to live or to love. They will go through Life never being able to understand why they are here. While others take these Lessons and enhance them into their Soul. My Mother, who is almost 70 now, has shown me that she too is still learning these Lessons. That She makes mistakes, but yet gains wisdom from them. When her life does pass, She won't know everything, but has learned a lot by how she has lead her life. We all go through changes and climb to different levels of our lives. As long as we can learn, experience and gain from them, we will have lived Life as it should be. Not only for ourselves, but everyone around us as well. I'm not perfect, but I strive to be a better person. To take what I have experienced and add happiness & fulfillment to my Life. I will make mistakes as I go, But use that knowledge to enhance my Mind, Heart and Soul !

** Love is when every night you don't see him/her & you wish they were there with you. ** No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. ** Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. ** A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. ** The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. ** Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. ** To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. ** Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you. ** Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. ** Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. ** There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. ** Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you. ** Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to. REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON

For Those Of You Who Are Loved........ For those of you who are loved, don't take it for granted, but cherish it for what it is worth. For there are others who may never have had the experience of knowing how it feels to be loved by someone. That touch that sends shivers down your spine. Or that look which shows you unconditional love for one another. I love you may sound dumb to others, but can make someone else feel like they are on top of the world ! To feel someone's arms around you, the warmth of a kiss on your forehead, telling you everything will be ok and you'll always be safe with them. To receive the greatest gift of love is to know no other. The passion, the strength, the power of that which makes the world go around and another day of happiness only to be followed by another and another and another. The kind of love that will never hurt you, curse you or destroy you. Love comes from deep within and to give or to receive such a gift is more then anyone could ask for. To come naturally and so freely from one's heart is something not throw to the wolves when rough times arrive. But embrace it together, which is the greatest power of them all !! So Cherish what you have and remember to love in return for others may never know what The meaning of True Love is really all about ...........

Tormented I sit here tonight listening to song’s that echo the desire That’s raging with all of heavens might deep within my heart Fueled by the sound of your voice the thought of your smile your eyes My minds racing like a dragster full speed to keep me from falling apart I look out the window and watch the rain trying to hide the drops Streaking down my cheeks the distance between us a razor piercing My skin deeper with every breath neither sleep nor alcohol stops The agony coursing through my veins only the notes of your song Can do for my emotional pain that vicodin does for physical torment The journey to find you was long and treacherous many times I sat And contemplated hangin my head and walkin away no parting comment But as always my heart demanded satisfaction giving me the strength To toughen up and forge my way year after soul wrenching year And today I stand within the threshold to paradise searching for the key Growing impatient with each passing minute to feel your touch and hear Good morning, goodnight honey and I love you till the day I’m called home I try to find advice and solace within my friends and family And like a broken record I’m told good things come to those who wait I cry out can’t you see I’ve waited long enough you might think me silly Or even crazy but love demands obedience and right now It’s screaming do what you must to end this misery and suffering Fight what battles you must borrow what you can steal what you need Cause my voice will only grow louder and louder like bells ringing Until the day we become one with our angel of destiny Paul graham 10/10/08

Never Imagined When I look into your eyes I see forever Your voice on the other end a choir of angels Something so special and strong a sliver Of hope within my heart just didn’t exist You’ve taken my world by storm resurrecting A passion for life and love I buried for good Or so I thought but I stand now confessing I am weak but you make me strong I am empty but you fill me with happiness And a purpose like no other that came before This fire you’ve started has left my mind a mess Can’t concentrate on the task at hand Sleep has become nothing more than another Word it’s meaning has faded food is no longer Desired cause your not beside me I’d rather Walk a million just to collapse upon your door Then face the night alone your touch haunts me Like the ghost of Christmas to come so close But still so far away I strain against these chains to be Released from this prison I once willingly accepted Fantasizing about the taste of your kiss the intoxicating Sent of your body the warmth of your embrace and A lifetime of staring into your beautiful eyes exciting As being a child on Christmas day longing to open gifts I try and keep my need under control but everyday It gets to be harder and harder waging a viscous War deep within my soul emptying my mind to say I want or just need you seems to be a misrepresentation Of the strength of the emotions flowing through My body every time I think of you and I can hear It in your voice that you feel the same and true To my nature the tears begin to fall from my eyes The power of something pure and untainted By the world and all of it’s twisted and sadistic Images you brought the colors back and painted A dream that sat in the corner tarnished under cover I walked through the darkness alone for so very long Void of a smile of the sparkle of a reason to carry On then one day I looked up from the ground cause I heard the song Your soul was singing hesitation took it’s hold for The thought of just another illusion frightened my soul And weakened my mind because I never imagined Within this lifetime I would ever see again my world whole Will it be forever or just another temporary break from insanity Paul graham =

By you I am consumed As I walk this path I’ve walked a thousand times before All my mind can focus on is how bad I want to come home To you and your loving arms our daily conversations leave me wanting more Every minute that my ears are blessed with your sweet voice My eye’s and heart cry in sync my arms ache to hold you While my lips shiver and long to feel, to taste your kiss Imagination running wild with images of us two Upon the couch our love constructing the blanket that keeps us warm Waves of passion thirty-five years in the making unleashed With the fury of Katrina ripping through new Orleans unstoppable And unforgettable wondering how I could have accomplished Surviving a day let alone thirty-five years of emptiness You’re everything I ever dreamed of and desired so many imposters Tried to fill the part but never lasted and now I’ve finally Found you thousands of miles away but I’m determined to destroy the barriers That stand between our two souls becoming one forever You have given me reason to resurrect the man I once buried because of lies Giving new purpose to the poetry my hands construct now stronger And deeper than before because our hearts can love without compromise Something I have never known in my life I wanna get Lost within your eyes and then found within your arms I wanna be the thought that makes you smile to be The medicine that heals your pain I am intoxicated by your charms I would write you a million poems but then I’d lose precious time with you And I’ve lost too much already and don’t wanna waste another second By you I am consumed =
