Verses for the Heart, Jack Ivey [read this if .txt] 📗

Time Doth Find Our Journey Long

Time doth find our journey long
On scattered wishes wing
To whisper o’er the winter’s wind
Of moments for to bring

With moonbeam glow of tempting light
On evening skies doth wane
Of every passing winter night
I call out but your name

O' days they pass of falling leaves
Upon the water’s shore
With footprints left along the way
For this that I adore

A distant dream a’ calling now
Along horizon’s flare
Endless seems the vision shown
As left alone to stare

These steps that we have taken free
Do add of sense and means
If we but reach with heart strength strong
To capture wanted dreams


Endeavors long of hours drained
Though still the path shall lead
If in the end your love is mine
Then that is all I need

 

Every Day

For every grain of sand the ocean shoreline does include
To count them all a task so very long
Fill your hand with grains that come in time to you to prove
The softness is a feeling ever strong

Endless possibilities now sprinkle in the wind
Dancing of the magic that we feel
Millions upon millions now about the ground begin
Each and every foot step is so real

As we walk along our feet they know where we have been
Only do our hearts know where we go
Just to have these moments in our life now once again
And the knowledge that I love you so

Somewhere there’s a number written down in someone’s dream
Noting every grain of sand we see
Staggering the digits as I hope the number means
Every day that you will be with me

 

I Need Only Close My Eyes

For this I see before my eyes
The dreams of lasting place
Alone I find the images
The smile upon your face

In darkness there is but a light
Of shimmering I see
For when I open up my heart
You’re standing there with me

The silence comes though this I hear
The words I find so new
As every time you say to me
My darling I love you

I carry this within my mind
A gift from up above
For loneliness would be my friend
Without your precious love

So deep inside the feelings reign
For wonders you have been
To satisfy my fantasies
And touch my life again


So long the years have counted by
Of endless longing miss
To hold you in my arms once more
To taste your precious kiss

I need only close my eyes
The dreams so soon to start
I feel the love that you do send
Right here within my heart

The memories of distant times
And those we make anew
Have come back to my life again
I’m so in love with you

Time is a Healer, a Teacher, a Friend

Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend
Slowly it passes on by
Moments then hours ahead for to see
Allowing us time we can cry

Casting our thoughts like a stone on the lake
Watching the ripples appear
Circular motions so silently flow
Till in the end it is clear

So many questions, our mind ever filled
Who brings the answers this day
How long will time let these feelings go on
Why won’t it move them away

Lost are the minutes of times long ago
Memories locked deep inside
Cherished these moments, we feel so alone
Longing to just run and hide

Emptiness lives in this heart that we share
Nothing is ever the same
Staring at heaven and hollering so
Endless our words seem in vain


Still the clock moves as the second hand sweeps
Never to find but the end
What will become of the future that waits
What is the message to send

Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend
Take every minute you need
I will be waiting, that you can depend
Hold tight my hand, I will lead

I have no answers, just comforting words
As your eyes glaze of the view
So if you need me just call out my name
All that I am is for you

 

In As All

 

In as all the world doth see
Thy beauty which doth come to me
A prism to my waiting stare
Magnificent as you are there

O’ windswept dreams, yon precious view
This feeling which I long of you
A masterpiece in nature’s form
Doth call the day which you were born

O’er lonely sights and empty field
My breath abates of love now sealed
To reach the limits perfectly
Doth bring thy smile to only me

For whilst I call the clouds above
To rain down of your wondrous love
Release which I do long so much
And drench me of thy gentle touch

I stand of now with heart a’ beat
For chance that your sweet lips I meet
In tenderness and warming glow
A feeling which thy love doth show

For anything now cast my way
To know your love I shall not stray
In as all the world doth see
Forever this, we two shall be

 

A Simple Beam of Light

This night doth find my heart a’ beat
Neath pewter skies aloft
Of autumns air a’ tempting sweet
Now swept on winds so soft

A single star through clouded mist
Its light of faintest glow
To touch me as I find its scene
An endless thought to show

My feet they stand this floating orb
As of this earth I peer
To wonder if one tiny star
Might bring you ever near

For if by chance your eyes do find
This beacon shining through
From miles formed of distant plains
I send my love to you

A simple beam of light to call
Your waiting heart to me
If only this would seal my fate
As it was meant to be


For something it hath parted clear
These clouds which fog my sight
So of this single star I breathe
Your precious love this night

And days shall go on passing by
Each season soon to change
In shades of every lonely heart
To offer up their name

Yet I for one find happiness
In dreams I’ve held so true
For very soon you’ll come to me
To set my life anew

I Caught a Raindrop in my Hand

 

I caught a raindrop in my hand
Now wet, I felt no pain
Magnified reflections seem to
Happen in the rain

Still the cloud for me did fall
In moisture just like dew
For any moment you do call
I’ll wait the rain with you

Hey cloud, I shout come give me more
Open up your gates
The rest of me now standing dry
Your drops right here I wait

Right outside her window clear
So she can surely see
That I will stand out in the rain
If she will wait for me

If now it was a sunny day
And in it I did set
That’s something anyone would do
They hide from getting wet

But I will sit here in the rain
If you would let it flow
Drenched I’d be and she would see
I truly love her so

So Mr. Cloud all dark and gray
Send to me you flood
Drench my clothes now on this day
For she is who I love

Then she will know the reason for
The truth behind my plan
If I am standing in the rain
I’m
