Poems by Marcia A. Newton

What if I belonged to you and you belonged to me
and what if there's a future together that's not a fantasy.
What if riding a wave of ecstasy
is how it could be for you and me.

What if friends turned into lovers
and we gave into passion for one another.
What if choices made are not a mistake
and won't cause sadness or extreme heartache.

What if two hearts can blend together
and heal and protect and care for each other.
What if two hearts can beat in harmony
and be happy together in a new life journey.

What if we're only scratching an itch
or if desire will remain too much to resist.
What if we fit together perfectly
Heart, mind, soul and sexually.

What if the best is yet to come
but we're stuck in the past that we can't move from.
What if we could find a way
to a new life waiting for us one day.

What if we found happiness in simple things
like holding hands, talking, or just simply sing.
What if our future is the good ole days
where happiness, laughter and desire come to play.

What if our days are in passionate surrender
and we treat each other with desire and tender.
What if we grab this chance as a precious gift
and turn our lives into the 'What if".

When days seem dark and it feels like rain,
you bring your light to brighten the day.
You bring a ray of sunshine along with hope
whenever times get rough and it's hard to cope.

You are charming, kind, funny and sweet.
Being crazy with you is hard to beat.
You always understand just how I think.
It doesn't matter if I'm sober or drink.

You make me smile and you make me laugh.
You make me feel whole instead of half.
I treasure our crazy days together.
It's the simple things I always remember.

When we share a laugh or joke or two,
these are the times I cherish with you.
Not to mention the food brought to share
that let me know you also care.

Your friendship gives comfort I'm not alone
to face my fears and tackle the unknown.
You're someone in my life that can't be replaced
either by time, distance, or even space.

Whenever we're together something just clicks
We feed off each other and have to think quick.
I have a deep affection and we have a bond
not many people share that our friendship goes beyond

That old familiar feeling is stirring inside my heart.
and just like my old memories, these feelings never part.
I've always tried to keep these feelings buried deep inside,
but whenever I remember you these feelings come alive.

My heart knows the truth that my feelings have never changed
and knows the old familiar feeling will always remain the same.
Over the years my love for you has never faded away,
just like the memories that come to me every single day.

That old familiar feeling takes me to another place and time
when being with you always was the one thing on my mind.
A joyous place and happy time walking hand in hand,
when we were free to love and there wasn't any demands.

Whenever I am lost in thoughts and they just won't let me go,
I remember when you captured my heart and my hopeful soul.
When our song plays on the radio, I pause to reminisce
and that old familiar feeling comes when thinking how we kissed.

Whenever my yearning heart whispers out your name
that old familiar feeling comes and sets my heart aflame.
There were so many good times you gave me to remember,
and that old familiar feeling it brings keeps me warm and tender.

Just one more look to remember you by.
One more kiss before we say goodbye.
Just one more smile to remember your charms
while caressing you with loving arms.

Just one more night of pleasurable passion.
One more day where anything can happen.
Just one more dream of staying together.
One more memory that stays with us forever.

Just one more touch as we embrace
as we lie together joined face to face.
Just one more dance as we hold each other
to a song we enjoyed when once as lovers.

Just one more word of love on our lips
while holding on to the remains of bliss.
Just one more minute of our worlds colliding
before our worlds begin dividing.

Just one more star to wish upon.
One more rainbow before our time is gone.
Just one more "I love you" to last a lifetime
before our broken hearts search for the sunshine.

Just one more glimpse of a life not chosen;
a life of love, happiness, and devotion.
Just one more chapter to complete our story
so our hearts can rest after saying, I'm sorry.

The pull of my heart is too strong to ignore.
You hold me by the heartstrings like no one before.
Whenever I'm near you my heart skips a beat.
My heart is tied to yours to make it complete.

Heartstrings knot our lives together,
yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.
An instant recognition that we're connected together
by heart, by soul, and by love for one another

Our lives are transformed in a natural connection.
We see each other in our own reflection.
Heartstrings have fastened our souls together.
We only see home in the eyes of each other.

Heartstrings ignite the fire in our hearts
knowing its eternal flame will never burn out.
A bond created by the forces of nature,
which only grows stronger and significantly greater.

We blend with each other in perfect harmony
like lyrics and music of a song voices sing
When our souls take flight like the birds of spring,
we'll be joined together by love's heartstrings.

When a vision of perfect happiness comes into view,
I know every dream leads me to you.
As I lie down to sleep under the stars that shine,
I dream of a time when you are mine.

I desire to know your soft loving touch
and for you to know I love you so much.
You are my love and heart's greatest dream.
You are every wish I make it seems.

I dare to envision a time together
and a chance to share our bodies in pleasure.
You're what my fantasies are always made of
as I'm lost in dreams where we love to make love.

I have a dream and only time will tell.
if all my aspirations are alive and well.
I will fight for my dream and risk everything
if that's what it takes to live out my dream.

I am a dreamer believing dreams can come true
knowing every dream I have leads me to you.
This sensation of excitement can only mean
I'm feeling I'll soon be living the dream.

We both live in the shadows of the past
where we only know hurt and love doesn't last.
We were made to feel that we weren't enough
We were brought to our knees and made to give up.

We both know how easy life falls apart
how easily our wounds broke our hearts.
We remember when we were made to feel small
when criticized for our insecurities and all of our flaws.

Painful pasts poisoned our loving hearts,
but how can we move forward to make a new start?
How can we make peace with all of the pain?
Will pain always haunt us and love be in vain?

Can we ever live in the here and now
and leave yesterday's mistakes in the past somehow?
Can we ever know love means us no harm?
Will we ever feel safe in each other's arms?

Why do our memories hurt us from long ago?
Are we reliving the past by not letting go?
Are we doomed to a life of pain and brokenness?
Can we make peace with the past and the emptiness?

Maybe we can make each other better
by being kind to one another whenever together,
by listening, by supporting and making the other feel whole,
by taking care of each other's heart and soul.

Maybe we can be each other's peace,
be tomorrow's hope where the past is released.
Maybe we can take a deep breath and make it last
when we realize we're free from the shadows of the past.

Our happy days came and went, but memories always remained
because feelings stay buried deep inside even when times have changed.
There was a time when togetherness and love was all that really mattered
but hopes and dreams of starting over are all but lost or shattered.

I regret I didn't hold you longer.  I regret there wasn't more kisses.
I regret there wasn't more time together.  I regret the hurt this is.
I regret the day we said goodbye, but not what we once had.
One mistake can change everything, every dream and every plan.

I've shed many a tear thinking about what we could have been,
but we can't turn back the hands of time and do things we never did.
The heart knows the truth we waited too long to ever share love again,
or to try to start all over again just to end up in heartbreak and pain.

When I look back I always regret the chances we didn't take,
but we can't undo what has been done or change our past mistakes.
There are many things that I regret, but never our time together,
nor the way you use to hold me tight or the love we made to each other.

If I could write our story again, I would pour out my feelings inside
and remind you how we fell in love and how our love could last a lifetime.
If we could create new memories just tell me where and when,
I'd do it in a heartbeat even if it meant losing you once again.

During this festive season of giving
there are many Christmas wishes you are deserving.
Because your gift of friendship is the best I've received,
your gift is these Christmas miracles to believe.

You are so much sweeter than a candy cane.
You are peace on Earth in so many ways.
You are twinkling lights and the jingle in bells.
You are the merry and bright that make hearts swell.

You are the sleigh bells beautifully ringing.
You are Christmas memories that life is creating.
You are the song carolers are singing.
You are joy to the world who just keeps giving.

You are the heavenly angel on top of the tree.
You are the winter wonderland that's magical to see.
You are the stocking hung with care full of treats.
You are the present underneath the Christmas tree.

You are the star brightly shining Christmas night.
You are the Santa making the holidays bright.
You are the music that lifts holiday spirits.
You are a Christmas miracle and never forget it.

You are holiday hugs and mistletoe kisses.
You are the comfort and joy in my Christmas.
You are the Christmas magic I have come to believe.
You are Christmas love and loved you'll aways be.

What is it about Christmas that feels like magic?
Is it love and celebration or memories making it nostalgic?
Is it believing in something we cannot see
such as Santa, Rudolph, Elves, and Frosty?

Somehow the magic of Christmas connects us all,
binding us as family and friends too many to recall.
The giving and sharing of all of our traditions
just to brighten each other's lives being our motivation.

The magic of Christmas can be telling stories and singing songs,
and becoming better people when we right all the wrongs.
To share the good feelings that gives thrill to our hearts
such as acts of kindness and sending holiday cards.

The magic of Christmas can be found in a smile
and the laughing out loud of a small happy child.
The magic of Christmas can be found in the silence
where it lives inside the hearts of many in existence.

The magic of Christmas can be soft and beautiful
by bringing joy to others from a heart that glows.
The magic can be found in forgiveness and togetherness
and found in life's blessings that brings us happiness.

The magic of Christmas can be forever heartwarming,
and goodness and love can be always everlasting.
We can keep the joy of Christmas living within us
knowing Jesus the Lord is the real magic of Christmas.
