Love
The fear of falling in love
At some point
I think everyone has it
It’s not so much the fall that's scary
As it is the fear of losing it
But the truth is
All love ends in a broken heart
Whether it’s love lost by betrayal
Or lost by a love who chose to end it one day and walked away
Hell
Some stick it out and stay together for fifty plus years
If they’re not lucky enough to die on the same day
One of them still loses

A Century Has Past...
We met on a street
A long time ago
The year was 1803
You had a smile and decency I could not resist
And I will never forget
The way you were looking at me
We shook hands and we spoke for a moment or two
Before I left
You asked if you could see me again
I said yes and you did every chance that you got
We became so much more than close friends
You were kind
You were smart
You were funny and strong
In the mind as well as the hands
As strong as they were
I knew they would never hurt me
Because you knew just what it meant to be a man
You took your time and kept a distance
Because you knew my respect and trust
Were two of the most important things
Were two of the most important things
And if you earned them
You’d have my love and a life of happiness
You wanted all the joy that would bring
We met with some friends as we did so many times
But this one would turn out to be our last
You lose me that day
In a very tragic way
And we wouldn’t meet again until another century had past
We met in a store
On a warm rainy day
The year was 1903
Time had changed us sure
As it did everything else
But what didn’t change
Was the way you were looking at me
We picked up where we left off more than a hundred years before
The way we felt about one other time could never change
We had a farm
We raised a family
A littler girl
She was yours
Soft blond hair full of curly little rings
We woke up
We starts our day
As we did so many others
But this one would turn out to be our last
We lost each other that day
In the most tragic way
And we wouldn’t meet again until another century had past
Another century has past
And I am writing this now
It is the last week of 2003
I know that you’re out there
I am searching for you
Are you somewhere searching for me
I get to have you in my life every one hundred years
How are we to know just how long it will last
But when we get together
We get the gift of experiencing what true love really is
And we shouldn’t wait until another century has past

Where Are You
Where are you
Are you safe
Are you well
Are you wondering what I’m doing at this very moment
Well
I am thinking of you
You
You occupy my mind all day
All night
You’re in my dreams asleep and awake
The very thought of you brings me true happiness
It gives me hope
It makes me dream
Dream of our future
Dream of our future
It inspires me
It keeps me from giving in
But more than anything
It makes me miss you
It makes me miss you
And it hurts to close my eyes at night without you
Even though you aren’t here
I have a million conversations with you each day
I write all of the words down
So nothing goes unsaid
One day
When you come across these words
Will you know they are about you
Will you do what you can to find me
And when you finally do find me
When we finally find each other
Will there be fireworks
Loud snaps
The sounds of everything falling into place
Or will there be silence
The type of silence
That cuts through life’s sometimes-overwhelming noise
Will we call it love at first sight
Or is it as simple as knowing what we want
And knowing that we’ve found love
When we’ve looked into each others' eyes
We’ve never met
But to me
You are already as familiar as a smell
You are already as familiar as a smell
A childhood memory
Or a pleasant dream I wouldn’t want to be awaken from
I am here
I am safe
I am well
I am wondering what you are doing at this very moment
Are you thinking of me
Please know that I am real
That I am waiting for you
And trust in what your heart is telling you
We have never seen each other face to face
But we have never seen the wind either
Only the aftermath of what it can do
It’s true strength
Or its ability to be gentle
Like love
Like trust
It’s having faith in something we can’t
See
Touch
Taste
Or smell
And yet somehow
It affects all of our senses
It affects all of our senses
It's the power of knowing something
Knowing for a fact
Knowing without doubt
We don’t have to touch something for it to be tangible
Because we can still feel without touch
Our hearts can still see
Even when our eyes are closed
And we can even hear the words that aren’t always said
Have faith in that and know
I will do whatever I can to find you
And when I finally do find you
When we finally find each other
We will have found the answers
To all of our questions
We will have found the things
We didn’t even realize were missing
But more than anything
We will have found home

I Dream Of You
I dream of you
Tonight
We’re sitting alone on a pier
A breeze blows
And the smell of you sweetens the air
It’s quiet here
There’s only the clear sound of your voice
You kiss my lips
Your hand softly caresses my face
And when you look into my eyes
I know that you are the one
Because when I dream of you
Your voice is in my ears
Your taste is on my lips
Your touch is on my cheek
Your smell is in my nose
And when you look into my eyes
I know
That my heart is in your hands
I dream of you
Tonight
We’re sitting on a porch
Staring at the China-ball trees
A breeze blows
And all the leaves fall off like soft rain
I wake up
And I know you must be real
Somehow
I remember everything about you
Except for the look of your face
I lie in bed awhile
As the thought of you occupies my mind
I close my eyes and smile
Because the thought of finding you gives me a thrill
I haven’t met you yet
But I know that you are the one
Because when I dream of you
Your voice is in my ears
Your taste is on my lips
Your touch is on my cheek
Your smell is in my nose
And when I look into your eyes
I know
That my heart is in your hands
I dream of you
Tonight
Are you somewhere dreaming of me

Meet Me at the End of the World...
When I sleep at night
When I sleep sound
I dream about the end of the world
The moon is bright
There’s no one around
A soft breeze sweeps the leaves off the road
It’s quiet here
But I don’t mind
It’s the only home that I’ve ever known
This dream was different
I was not alone
I heard the sound of someone calling my name
You walked up
Took my hand
We walked up the bridge as it began to rain
The rain poured down
I couldn’t see your face
Just your eyes
But they were all that I’d need
For what was inside them told me how
You’d never lie
You’d never cheat
You’d never leave
You’d never hurt me with your hands or words
To make me happy
You’d do whatever it takes
They said
You see inside of me as I do you
Please remember this when you wake
You said
Meet me at The End of the World
I’ll be waiting for you on the bridge
When I see you
I’ll call out your name
When you take my hand
You’ll know that I’m real
So have faith in what you believe
Please believe in what you feel
And meet me
Meet me at The End of the World
You spoke those words
You took my hand
You said
This doesn’t have to be a dream
When you wake up
You’ll know where I am
I’ve already told you
All you have to do is believe
And if you believe
I’ll be there waiting for you to arrive
I’ll take your hand
Kiss your lips
And in that moment
We’ll both know what it means to feel alive
Now you must wake and I must go
So I will leave you with a kiss
Remember everything that you dreamed here tonight
But if nothing else
Please remember this
Meet me at The End of the World
I’ll be waiting for you on the bridge
I want to see you
I want to call out your name
I need to touch you
You need to know that I am real
So have faith in what you believe
You must believe in that you feel
And meet me
Meet me at The End of the World
Meet me
Meet me at The End of the World

Silhouette
I dreamt of you last night
I dreamt of you last night
I was falling asleep in your arms
My head was at rest upon your chest
I could smell you
Your clothes
Your skin
Your breath
I could feel you
Your hand gently brushing the hair from my face
Caressing my arm
My back
I could hear the rhythm of your breath
Your heartbeat
My heartbeat
I wanted to tell you how much I miss you
I wanted to look up and see the silhouette of your face
I wanted to kiss your sweet lips
And tell you how homesick I’ve been without you
But I dared not
For the fear of waking from this dream
I was home for only a moment
An ever so fleeting moment
But it was enough
To just be in that moment with you
To just be in that moment with you
I wake to dream of the day you are no longer a dream
I long for the day you will hold me in your arms
I long for the day I am homesick no more

Somewhere In Limbo
Two People afraid of letting anyone in
Both blinded by their fear of getting hurt again
Not realizing how lonely it was to be alone
But still wondering when they would find their home
Is it worse to trust someone with your life
Or to trust them with your heart
To know exactly what you want
Or not have a clue of where to start
Well
Trust is trust
And it’s not something I do
So what was it that made me trust you
What did I see in your eyes
That captivated
Hypnotized
My heart
My soul
My very life
I never thought of myself as someone’s wife
Until we met
Until we spoke
From a deep sleep our hearts awoke
There was something in the way you laughed
It brought back memories from a life long past
And with it a feeling so deep inside
There was nothing there for us to hide
Is it worse to love and lose
Or to have never loved at all
To build walls around ourselves
Or to be the one who isn’t afraid of the fall
Well
Love is love
And it’s not something I just do
So how did I fall in love with you
What did I feel in such a simple touch
That gave my heart a pounding rush
What did I hear in your voice
That claimed my love without a choice
I saw our future in your eyes
I saw all your thoughts
You could not hide
And all who witnessed could plainly see
That you and I were meant to be
From the moment we met
From the moment we spoke
From a century long sleep our hearts awoke
We saw our future in a glance
We were only looking up
Our eyes met by chance
Two people afraid of letting anyone in
Aware of our fear of falling in love again
Finally realizing how lonely it was to be alone
Knowing we had finally found our home
Two hearts searching for the exact same thing
To find the love we've only known in dreams

Getting caught in the rain
Getting caught in the rain
On a warm spring night
Taking cover in a house
In a room lit by candle light
A chill on damp skin
Trying to get dry
Noticing how the flame
Dances in your eyes
Dances in your eyes
Butterflies in my stomach
Speeds up the rhythm of my heart
Feeling the energy in the air
Telling us
What we’re about to start
Your sweet kiss upon my lips
Your gentle touch upon my cheek
Taking the time to learn every move
Every touch that makes us weak
The back of my neck
The small of my back
Your warm hands on my skin
The sound of your breath
Getting lost in the moment
Getting lost in your eyes
Surrendering completely
As your hand caresses my thigh
Getting lost in the moment
Hearing words that aren’t said
Having only the thoughts of you and I in my head
I wipe the sweat from your face
You brush my hair from my eyes
Confiding in each other
All of the feelings we hide
You ask me where to go
I tell you
You’re already there
You’re already there
I ask you what you want
You tell me
I’m already here
I’m already here
The breath between us
Getting heavier
There’s no space between us at all
Holding on tighter and tighter
The further we fall
An uncontrollable release
Steels from us our breath
Collapsing in each other's arms
Sheets soaked from sweat
A chill on damp skin
Covering to get warm
I lie on my side
You're behind me
I’m wrapped in your arms
Your lips to my shoulder
Tickles me
Making me grin
I roll over to kiss you
To look into your eyes once again
The sweet smell of your body
Mixed with the sweet smell of mine
No words are spoken
We can read each other's minds

Come Find Me
I woke within a dream
I heard your voice
I saw your face
You asked if I could see you
I said yes
I felt the gentle strength of your warm hand as it took mine
You asked if I could feel you
I said yes
You pulled me close
You kissed my lips
You looked deep into my eyes
And said
Now come find me
I woke from my sleep
Your touch
Your smell
Your voice
Still remained
So intangible
Yet so real
I closed my eyes
And with a breathy smile
Come find you
I sighed
I sighed

Intangible
The first time I saw him I was very young
He was the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life
Literally
Breathe taking
Breathe taking
Looking at him was like staring into the sun
I didn't know at the time
How well his aura fit his name
How well his aura fit his name
Many years had past
I came across some things written about his life
I came across some things written about his life
I wrote of how those stories affected me
Never in my life did I imagine I would ever cross his path
But I have
I found him to be Kind - Silly - Strong willed - Passionate & Blunt
Restlessly nomadic
My smile was the first thing he noticed
He wasn’t shy to tell me what he saw in my eyes
There is something so intimidating about him
I don’t know what or why
And something so unbearably intangible
It makes me wish he didn’t cross my mind as much as he does

The tone has changed
From sweet to bitter
From sweet to bitter
Then bitter to sweet
Then back
Caught off guard for a moment by a photo
For a moment
Forgetting the trust one lacks
Pissy
Playful
Mocking
Teasing taunting text
Waiting for something that won’t happen
Wondering what comes next
Too much wishful thinking
Wishing is in vain
Wishing for intangible things
Will only bring one pain
Emotion from assumption
On this
Too much time is spent
Leaving untrusting parties
To decipher what was meant
Nothing more will come of this
Sad and don’t know why
Knowing
To succumb to wishful thinking
Is the same as believing in a lie
Will the truth come out one day
If there was any truth at all
To succumb to wishful thinking
Is to set one's self up to fall

...November 16th...
I love vivid dreams... Whenever I am able to sleep, lately my dreams have been so vivid. Tonight, I dreamt of my soul mate. Yes, I have dreamt of him many times, but this dream stood out.
In the dream, I am sitting on concrete
stairs that seem to go on forever in all four directions. It’s nighttime, it’s
dark, there’s extremely bright moonlight breaking through storm clouds. The
clouds seem really low, the wind is blowing hard and swirling in every direction. The
temperature is perfect, I am alone, my head is resting on my knees; I am worried
and thinking loud thoughts. Each time a worrisome thought comes into my head
the lightning crashes and the thunder explodes; making everything in my head
feel dizzy and chaotic. The visual part of this dream is a back and forth of me
looking through my own eyes and looking at myself from outside of my body and
from both points of view everything’s spinning counter clock wise. I put my
head back down and cradle my knees.
Suddenly, I notice someone is sitting
right behind me, right up against me. I am sitting in between his legs and
there is no space between us. He is leaning into me and resting his head on my
back, his cheek is pressed up against my shoulder; his whole body is
leaning in perfect formation with mine. He and I are breathing in sync. Then I
hear… When will I find you? I realize, we said the same thing at the same time.
Then we say…I’m right here…
I realize, he’s not looking at
me, I’m not looking at him, but we can feel each other completely. He turns his
head and places his forehead on my in the middle of back, then we say… I’m
afraid… He turns his head and places his cheek back across my shoulder. He says to
me, I have you, I have your back. Every time I am on the outside of myself looking
at the two of us, the look of him changes. I never see his face, but his hair
is long past the middle of his back, he is very lean like a young man. Then his hair is
to his shoulders and he a lot of weight on him. Then his
hair is short and thinning in the very back, he’s built well, like a man who
takes care of himself, the shape of his arms and back are strong, and I feel
completely safe because he’s holding on to me… And in this dream I am thinking to
myself, how beautiful he is in every form he takes.
He tells me that he is going to wake up and remember me. He asks me to
think of him when I wake up. To remember exactly how I feel when he’s holding
on to me. He tells me my words scare him because he doesn’t understand how I
could know so much without having met him. I tell him, it’s because he and I
are the same … I tell him to come find me and he says he already has…
Suddenly, the thunder and lightning crashed so loud in the dream, it woke me
from my sleep… I woke up thinking about him… The dream was so vivid…It felt like I was inside of his head and he was inside of
mine…

Until Then
Whether he likes it or not
I have his full attention
Until Then
Whether he likes it or not
I have his full attention
I’ve roused his curiosity
Along with his reflexive suspicions
Provoking questions that
will remain unanswered
Until he brings himself to
meet me
For now
Until then
He views me from afar
Sheltered
By my unawareness of when he’s looking
By my unawareness of when he’s looking
Until he succumbs to his curiosity
For now
It is enough
In his absents
His presences is so present
In his absents
I try to fill the void within
with words
I try to no avail
For this void is inexhaustible
Whether I like it or not
He has my full attention
He has roused my curiosity
Along with my reflexive suspicions
Provoking questions that
will remain unanswered
Until he brings himself to
meet me
For now
Until then
My words will emphatically provoke
him
As he views me from afar
Sheltered by his
unawareness
Of the fact that I am aware of when he's looking
Of the fact that I am aware of when he's looking

Rooted in the Soul
Somewhere in time
There was a severing
Flesh and bone
Cut away like limbs from a tree
Up rooted
Up rooted
Separated from each other
Surviving
Evolving
From one into two
Into you and me
Into you and me
Centuries have past
The scars have healed
Still
I feel the loss of you
In the form of phantom pain
I wonder if I’ll ever see you again
Somewhere other than a dream
Still
I feel the loss of you
In the form of phantom pain
I wonder if I’ll ever see you again
Somewhere other than a dream
I know you feel the phantom pain
Your hands
Your eyes
Your heart
I know how much they ache
Like mine
Like mine
They're worn from centuries of searching
For their soul and for their mate
For their soul and for their mate

Captured In Ink
I saw a photograph of a young couple the other day
They were looking into each other's eyes
They were looking into each other's eyes
There was no space between them
Innocent and unguarded
In that moment
In that moment
I was so aware of where my thoughts were on the subject of love
Not jealous
Not jealous
Not envious
I found myself full of bittersweet thoughts
Of what I wanted
Of what I want
I found myself staring at this photograph
I found myself staring at this photograph
Sending out the thoughts
Please don’t let them lose what they’ve found
Please don’t let their innocent hearts become jaded or fearful
I found myself staring at this photograph
I found myself staring at this photograph
Wondering if I have it in me to love like that again
Knowing what I know now
Knowing what I know now
Losing what I’ve lost
The thought seems so intangible
This photo made me so aware of the limbo that I’m in
This photo made me so aware of the limbo that I’m in
Knowing that I want to
But fearing that I won’t
I tried so hard to push those thoughts away
I tried so hard to push those thoughts away
To realize the gift of coming across this beautiful masterpiece
That has been captured in ink
Acknowledging each and every time my words have captured you in ink
And wondering
If I’ll ever learn one day that you have captured me in ink
I try not to think of what you might think of me
But it’s hard not to wonder
If and when you are so heavy on my mind
Are those the moments that I am so heavy on yours
Knowing what I know now
Losing what I’ve lost
Through all of my insecurities and fears
I found myself staring at this photograph
Thinking of you

Vivid
Still thinking about how your lips felt on mine
The way you taste
The warmth and smell of your breath
Your body
I cannot shake the feeling
Of how it felt to have you grasp hold of me so tightly
Of how it felt to have you grasp hold of me so tightly
Forcefully pulling my body to yours
Putting me in my place
A perfect kiss that quaked me to my core
You have wiped my slate clean
You have made it hard for me to think of anything else
Or remember a kiss that came before
Realistic
I am fully aware of the reality of who you are
Know
That I know my place
You are my muse
And have unintentionally been so all along
And have unintentionally been so all along
No longer an intangible silhouette
I see you
I know who you are
I vividly dream of you
In full color
You affect all of my senses
You affect all of my senses
Making this insomniac
Look forward to sleep
Look forward to sleep

Written & Narrated by G.,G.Rae
Underneath the surface
There are memories
Memories I cannot shake
Things that I cannot un-see or un-feel
A decade of dreaming
Of two lifetimes long past
One day I looked up and there you were
There was a reaction
An involuntary reaction
That unnoticeably disabled
Involuntary reactions
At first sight
I was paralyzed by your beauty
Your eyes
Your soul
Projected fierce strength and gentle kindness
Anger and pain
Radiated off of you like heat
Radiated off of you like heat
Standing there in that moment
Barely a fraction of a moment
That felt like forever
That felt like forever
There you were
Way too soon
A pain in my chest
A burn in my eyes
My brain trying to react
Trying to make sense of why
I had forgotten to breathe
I had forgotten to blink
I found myself gasping for air
And trying to remember how to think
Haunted by eyes
I have yet to look into
Haunted by two decades of dreams
From which there's no waking up
Haunted by the past
Of two lifetimes
I follow the deja vu
Wondering
When you will become a part of this life
It has been said by a few
That I write about the pretty things
Unrealistic daydreams
Of an unattainable love
It's perspective
One can read what I write
But cannot see what I see
Three decades of dreaming
Of two lifetimes long past
All that's left are potent memories
Of how you loved me
And of how I loved you
In this lifetime
Whether or not you were meant to be mine
My soul is and will always be rooted to yours
We have never seen each other face to face
But I have seen your face
And you have seen mine
You have crossed paths with these words
You have crossed paths with these words
And know they are about you
I know this is not something
You would just come to me and say
You are confident
But humble
One day
I will look up and there you'll be
Reserved
Shy
Keeping romantic notions to yourself
You will make an effort to know who I am
Beyond these words
Beyond a photograph
Or a voice on the phone
You will realize how I see things
And how clear my eyes are when it comes to you
In this lifetime
Whether or not you were meant to be mine
My soul has never stopped loving yours
And it longs for the bittersweet peace to know
That you are happy-loved-&-safe
To be within your presence
To look into your eyes
To have these questions answered
And finally let go

~ A Muse Amuse ~
Written & Narrated by G.,G.Rae
Memories of a past
Have always haunted her sleep
His eyes
She’ll
never forget those eyes
Or what
she saw in them
In him
Or how he
looked at her
One day
she looked up
And there
HE was
Living
Breathing
Flesh and
blood
His aura
His eyes
His affect
on her
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
HE
reminded her of him
A muse
within a muse
A gifted
man with a good heart
He is
guarded
Accessible
Intangible
He is a
paradox
Years and
distance separated them
One night
he looked up
And there SHE was
Caught off
guard by her smile
Her eyes
He took
the time to say hello
Silly
Sometimes antagonistic
His
presence
Always felt
through text
Beautiful
Dark and
lovely
He
describes her in words
That have always made her think of him
Never
anything more than acquainted
She'll always
wonder
If she
affects him
The way he
affects her
Distance and
life separate them
But the span
no longer seems so vast
She knows
him a little better now
Still
silly
And antagonistic
He lives
moment to moment
His end of
the conversation comes and goes
She knows
him a little better
But she
doesn’t know him
And doesn’t
pretend to
She is
just someone who writes what she feels
And she hopes he feels what she writes

The Last Word...
What does your gut tell you about me
What does your gut tell you about me
You’ve seen my face
My eyes
My smile
You’ve read my words
You ask yourself
Why am I writing about you
Why am I writing to you
Stop
Instead
Find the answer by asking yourself
Find the answer by asking yourself
How do you know these words are about
you
It’s 2 o’clock in the morning and this is what I’m up
thinking about
And I’m trying to figure out what it is that I want to say
to you
Because these will be the last words that I write to you
Without having truly met you
I know I’m going to leave somethings out
I always do
But honestly
What haven’t I already said
I was just a kid
It all started with a dream that turned into dreams
I am thirty-two years old
I have spent almost three decades of this life
Remembering a life that came before
Remembering a hazy silhouette of a Man
A Good Man
Tall -Dark & Beautiful
Strong in every way
Good to me
Good to everyone
Good to everyone
Gentle & Kind
Do you think it’s possible to love someone so much in one
life
That it carries over into the next
To promise that person forever and to truly mean it
It has to be possible
Because that is what I’ve done
I’ve heard it said
Ignorance is bliss
I wouldn’t know
I’ve been aware of you for so long
I wouldn’t know
I’ve seen your face
Your eyes
Your smile
My heart and my gut tell me
I am not wrong about you
I am not wrong about you
I feel like everything about wanting you
And wanting to find you or you to find me
Is this push-pull of hurry up... but wait
Life experience along with superficial insecurities
Had me caught in this limbo of being ready for you... but afraid
I am no longer afraid
Ignorance may be bliss
Ignorance may be bliss
But honestly
I would rather know than not
I would rather have this journal opened
And these words out there for you to find
Then to have kept silent
These words are for you
Then to have kept silent
These words are for you
I look forward to the day that I look up and there you are
