Notions Made

Notions made to flutter fade
and prey on love's intent
further still to bend at will
until her heart's content
Willful dance to fate perchance
for all things hinge on time
to ebb and flow like waves we go
for seasons' reasoned rhyme
Chrysalis in woeful bliss
these notions flutter fade
changing in the summer sun
as seasons serenade

Flower Fade

Flower fade to serenade
and sing your elegies
a moment here then disappear
into that gentle breeze
Swirling mists are petal kissed
as blooms give way to time
fall from grace in fate's embrace
the reason to the rhyme
Flower fade to serenade
of ghosts out on the breeze
a moment here then disappear
and sing your elegies

Here Beneath The Ashes

Here beneath the ashes
are our embers still aflame
to dance out on the winter air
and share the heart's remains
Love of chance and circumstance
this flicker bright and new
to burn that hot forever
we endeavor ourselves to
Enrapt in flame these hearts remain
and still that fire they stir
here beneath the ashes
who we are and what we were
