                        Kiss

      (In Stillness...I Feel Your Breath Is My Breath)

Let's understand stillness, and be totally entwined

Lilt me your lips;

Our lost breath intermingling like dropping balm,

Synchronize our silence this very moment...

Tremble with me in paralyzing pause

I may no longer breathe without breathing you

Each of your words such pleasure brings...

Like soft touch stirrings

             Touch In A Dream

(In Stillness...I Feel Your breath is My Breath)

With wondrous thoughts I must exclaim

My eyes which trap my stare with solid grip

But never do I wish to be unlatched...

From your poise, nor sight of your sculpture structure

And though these features impress I deeply

It's more than looks in which my affection is bound

You have brought a peace upon my soul...

And planted a flame in my heart

I feel your heart is mine

              Distraction

(In Stillness...I Feel Your Breath Is My Breath)

You sweep in a like a gust of leaves

Turning my head and commanding my eyes

Which are now firmly pinned to your rustling rhythm

A crisp distraction

The type that lingers on...

for days...

Nights...

Weeks...

Unwilted by time

Preserved in my mind

A renaissance of the heart and soul

A beautiful, crisp distraction

Melting Moment

(Footprints In The Heart)

Today I watch the same red cardinal resting on the papaya tree

As he bob his head back and forth, up and down 

Then spreading his wings anticipating his next flight

But before he leaves his usual place, he sings me a song

And my heart beat like the drums of paradise

My eyes tears

A melting moment

My ku'uipo, I miss your love, I miss your touch, I miss your smile

And most of all I miss my best friend

You ask me to go on and continue to live my life and strive to love again

You said that I deserve to love another as you so loved in me

You made me promise to keep heaven far from reach

And that my destiny is not of heaven just yet

But my Ku'uipo, you complete us

Without you here beside me it is no longer us but just I

And the sun shine in color blind and the sunset without a reflection

And the moon shone without the glittering of the stars

The surf has no meaning without your talent upon the height of it's strength

And I miss continuing watching every ride you've ever rode as I am your biggest fan

All the moon-light picnics bike rides, and exploring the islands

With our eyes and our hearts and making love beneath the stars

For you my Ku'uipo love what I love

And you my Ku'uipo are one in a million

Why did God not notice the love he sees in us?

Why did God take you away from me and left me with only melting moment to recall?

The day God took you , he took with him

The greatest example that he could ever have created in a human

He took with him the greatest love I could have ever been bless to know

At the end of each evening

I kneel down on my knees and pray and I ask God for forgiveness in me

For I should not question as to why God took you

But to thank God for the gift of meeting you and falling in love with you

And though I sleep peacefully and I dream beautifully

I awaken with...

Melting moment of you

I miss you my Ku'uipo

You are my beautiful red cardinal...please sing me our song once again

English Translation: Ku'uipo = sweetheart

       Love Affair

       (If Tomorrow Never Comes)

They say marriages don't last...

Well then...

Think of marriage as a great love affair!

60 years together and still

Her hand is the only one he will hold

I asked him what is the secret to his marriage?

And with great excitement, he replies...

Honey!...It's "YES, DEAR!"

The words begin...

I saw her from the distant

Sitting alone on the pier kicking her feet in the water

My heart stopped...as her head turn my way

Glancing back at the image I was painting

There as if an answer from above

The face of an angel...

Is the face of the complete painting I stand before it

She was my love affair through the many paintingss

I have painted and here in full view

She is real

I walked over to her

Handed her a single picked flower

She looked at it with confusion

"Why only one petal left on this flower?" She asked.

With that I answer...my dear, the last one says...

LOVE ME

        Remembrance

(Footprints in the Heart)

There was a time in my life

When innocents were all around me

My words

My voice

My thoughts

My prayers where that of you

You filled my world with dreams of heavenly paradise

A paradise not yet known to me

You were unknown to me

Each dream I dreamt, were of you

In darkness your silhouette I search beneath

Though true image was far from reach

In my dreams I dream of you

One day...

Unknowingly, I watch you standing against the rail of the boat

Strangers we were, but in dreams we were not

You stood with beauty in your image and in my view I observed

As each petal of the pua I watch you toss into the now softness of the sea

I wonder what your thoughts were

Who fills your mind at that very second?

Who is it that cast your heart that you so disappeared from others to be in daze?

The moment of such delight

Of such intrique

I long to examine more

You walked over and extend your hand to my shyly manner

A breathtaking smile

A smile never forgotten

No smile ever experience as yours

A gentle word flowing in the wind...ah..that voice

No other voice have ever been so captivating

Not surprisingly, so thoughtful with ease

You share the moon-lid evening full of stars with me

Pointing to each star

Sculpting into my mind the knowledge I would not have known otherwise

Your intelligent and beauty so natural I yearn for the feeling of contentment

Your wisdom and maturity fascinate my mind

As you gently guide us in the direction of the ocean still calm in the silent ripples

Only moon-light reflection to share the silhouette of our images

I lean my head against your body and you gently wrap your arms around me

That very moment I knew your arms are the strength I will forever crave

Your arms protect and your heart provide

And I knew it is you, I dreamt of all my life

You are my words, my thoughts, my prayers

We had a beautiful love

You are love

And you share with me the teaching of your love

To carry on alone in my new world long after our lives distant

Our memories lives on in my heart

Many years have gone by and I struggle to find my place

In an empty paradise you left behind

Your love I strive to live on

Unconditional through the years, I am so blessed

No others in my life has known the meanning of "unconditional"

The wind of time may take you from my life

But it can never take you from my heart

I close my eyes now darling

Your arms once again wrap around me

And your voice sings me a love song I've heard many times

And many times I long for more as if it were the first time

A dream of paradise beneath the stars

And there...you point to the petals floating in the sea

Millions and millions of petals

And I couldn't help but look up into your eyes

Before a word can utter

You gently place too fingers on my lips..

"All these petals are petals of you my sweet pua

I loved you from afar

And I hesitate to seek your path

Anticipating you to search my road

With all the dreams, wishes and prayer I searched in my life

Then one day you stood in the distant, the very same boat as I

My heart pound like never before and I hesitate in my step

The lei I wore, a gift that eve

Each pua I assemble and each petal I strip from it's frame

To gently dropped into the sea of heavenly paradise

I ask GOD for your love

And as I dropped each petal, my thoughts were of you and all of you

Love, my darling sweet pua, is magical

Our love is magical

The greastest love of our life!"

Others would say that I am a dreamer

Yes, I am a dreamer and in my dreams

Love surrounds me because of you

I thank you from the bottom of my soul

I thank you always

For giving me your love

The greatest love of my life!

      Wrong Time

  (If Tomorrow Never Comes)

I sometimes feel as though I am living in the wrong time

Oh how I would love to go back in the days...

When women were truly ladies

When men were truly gentlemen

When the most beautiful thing was not a jaguar or a mansion

But rather the sight of a single  rose...

And a walk along the shoreline hand in hand

When a man was not judeged by the size of his wallet

But rather the size of his heart

When a woman was not judged by the way she looked

But rather the way she touches

When every breath that we took...was a breath given to another

When children loved...by the beauty they saw in their parents

When sunrises were captured more than sunsets

When the smell of the morning dew...

Was to be awakened by the blessing of the day
