IWO - Thank you for sharing. Very nice. I would also love to hear your music.

[iwo]

Thanks Star and Boston, as far as presenting my music here, there are some problems, mainly converting files in to the system, but I'm working on it. The other thing is these are instrumental pieces, in post
classical style mixed with a new age harmonies and ballads.
I know it's probably hard to imagine such a creature ;D
Although I sing along a lot, that has to remain private for small audiences

[starcrossed]

Wow...and I thought I was busy writing these days....Great work Boston. Hot and heavy, with a huge touch of class! Very well written.

And thanks for posting. I know what you told me, and that makes it even more special when you do post. Friends.

In remembrance of my Grandma Lucy Herrera...

I Miss You

Beauty flows softly...
My tears will forever fall silently in my soul.

The memories that we shared
Burn brightly in my heart.

I look in the mirror and I see you there...

You were my heart.

My life.

I am me because you took my hand
And I knew I had one person that did understand.

I miss you.

I always will...

I can pretend that nothing matters,
And that life has not changed.

The truth is that is has,
So different does everything seem.

No more family gatherings.

Silence for months,
Almost as if no one cares.

No one wants to be seen.

So many years have passed,
Yet I still remember so clearly that day when you passed.

I was only a child,
I could not have saved you.

They told me that it was
Just a part of life and death.

I have grown up.

Have fought too many battles alone.

You have a grandchild...
My son.

He really would have loved you.

I know that you would have loved him,too.

I miss you.

I always will...

I will continue to move on,
To believe in my dreams.

That is what you taught me...
I may be one one woman,
But I can do anything if I just don't quit.

Life is not easy.

I feel alone still to often,
And others try to destroy my dreams.

They just don't want to take the time to really get to know me...

They don't realize how all my pain has caused me to change...

I am genuine
And I wear my heart on my sleeve...
Without any shame.

I miss you.

I always will...

That I guess this is just another part of life and death,
That doesn't seem fair to me.

Star, the poem about your grandma brought tears to my eyes and reminded me how much I'm missing my grandparents, especially my grandpa, who introduced me to music in my early childhood, (he was a first violinist in symphony orchestra)
As always, great work my friend!

[starcrossed]

Insane Love
I will love you til the end of insanity
My soul screams out for lost thoughts of you
My heart pounds and races through the night
And my skin hurts at thoughts of delight

I love you so, but don’t know why
You’re not good for me, not the best mate
Sometimes you forget me, you’re not always there
It’s not good – I know – but don’t really care

Chorus
Insanity stay close to me
Don’t let this turmoil show
Insanity stay close to me
Don’t let my obsession go

I’m so addicted, you’re the one
Good sense should send me running
Your amazing kiss sends my brain careening
Your arms, so perfect, a heavenly feeling

Are you for real or my delusion?
I take comfort in this state
Please don’t release me to the world
Insanity – I accept my fate

Chorus
Insanity stay close to me
Don’t let this turmoil show
Insanity stay close to me
Don’t let my obsession go

When you love someone beyond insane
And the fire burns but you can’t feel pain
Cherish your time then let them go
Sweet memories yours forever more

Thank you for the time that we shared
I must take my leave to make a fresh start
You’ll always stay safely locked in my heart
Will always remember the exquisite insane parts

Bridge
Love them hard, love them fast
Take it all in while it lasts
Don’t be scared, you’ll lose your chance
Insane love is a gift for you
A gift that comes to but a few

Chorus-2
Sanity from insanity, please take hold
Sanity from insanity let me see again
Find a safe place to store those times
Relieve the torture and set me free

[starcrossed]

I love that !!!! I can hear the song in my head!!!That was so freakin' great!!!!!



Thank you for posting Boston!!!

[starcrossed]

This is wonderful work Boston!!! No lie....

[iwo]

Boston, you rock!

[starcrossed]

Hello Iwo! I told her so...Boston doesn't believe me...

[bostongirl]

Thanks Iwo, thanks Star.
I need to learn how to play the guitar, just so I can get the melody out of my head for that one.

One of only a few things that I have written that actually came with melody. ;D ;D

I appreciate your positive feedback.
Boston

[starcrossed]

I told you it was great!

Breathlessly I fall

Breathlessly I fall.

What is life?

A thousand thoughts
randomly swim through my head.

I try to define who I am,
or what I could be.

Falling through a haze of commotion,
running faster than the speed of light.

Defined by no reality,
a creation of my imagination.

I am not you.

I am not me.

Am I truth...
or just a conjured memory.

Rainbows dance across my mind.

I am carelessly finding freedom
through a new voice.

Dancing on a high wire,
with no net to catch me.

I think I will sprout wings,
should I ever fall.

Honestly,
I know you wouldn't try to catch me.

Jumping higher.

Falling harder.

Not a single care,
in the world.

Wind no longer gentle across my skin.

Rougher than a Chicago wind.

I am free.

I am witness to the birth of a new reality.

Freedom of an artistic heart.

Freedom of the random thought.

Trapped in a uncommon mind.

Breathlessly I fall.

[bostongirl]

Bravo. One of my favorites. Really love it Star.

[starcrossed]

Thank you Boston.
