Lost and Found

Changing tunes of our tribunes
to seek out from our searching
faded black reform retract
still on the shadows lurking.
Dawning day to dance and play
fetch fast this fledgling pleasure
to horde it up or lip to cup
moment's stored or one's we measure.
In some way forging forward
pioneering God's intention,
never meant to intervent
or mean to meant to mention.
Twirling sparks of quipped remarks
witness wonderment emerging,
changing tunes of our tribunes
to seek out from our searching.

Love's Acidity

Colors run with burning fun
and etch themselves committed,
these deepened pains with cause explain
a heart yet unremitted.
Perfect match release recatch
the past removes it's flaxing,
nothing will outlast conceal
when death is due and time is taxing.
Mired in mirrored consciousness
two paths indeed one bending,
still made to meet again repeat
our reasons now defending.
Effort made to judge and grade
invade into the senses,
Words unwind to secrets find
as lost our phrase defenses.
Prism held together
beam of light to propagate,
destruction of this house of cards
thought none could penetrate.
Love's birth unto destruction
what then is ending once begun
we etch our hearts committed
burning hot as colors run.

Midnight's Moonlight Spectre

Midnight's moonlight spectre
dance into my hollowed days,
haunting smile in daunting style
cut scenes my heart replays.
Even in the morning's breath
as dreams turn dust to fade,
sparkle still like diamonds will
you sing this serenade.
Perfect we together
blending fire with cooling passion,
moments still to us reveal
our love's unending ration.
Sing you do this serenade
your kiss controls my thinking,
drink you in my favorite sin
to drink you up and I'm still drinking.
Inhale you deep your mine to keep
if only dew of dreaming's nectar,
dance you do this much is true
my midnight's moonlight spectre.

My Heart's Content

Simplistic list of things now missed
when days were long and skin sun-kissed,
on through the day we reminisced
to sinking sun and sleep resist.
Discovering glory in the moment
drink it up and leave it dry,
now finding here a single tear
regrets from heart to eye.
Captured time forever
good things come but always burn,
our only hope from sliding slope
is to those days return.
The essence of a minute
taste it now on heaven's lips,
simply pray to find your way
and all those things now missed.

I'll Be Waving My Hands

Taken aback and shaken
molten lava comes emotion,
calming sense to self convince
the wheel that's sat in motion.
Storm on short horizon
sky is changing, shifting, blowing,
all the while this thought revile
the tide that's ebb and flowing.
Swallow hard and choke it down
these blades do cut and slide,
easier pill to heart reveal
in search of what survived.
Softly simmer shortly
tears of anger slow subside,
push it down to sink and drown
that flood on once relied.
Trust the wind that's coming
find no future in resisting,
feet in sands of what's in store
from storms that keep persisting.

Evenings Silhouette

To chase the evening's silhouette
that shadow of perfection,
a hinting breeze upon my lips
gives tips to her direction.
For on the storied midnight
did her shade befall my eyes,
I chase the evening's silhouette
til death or love's demise.
Purposed infatuation
a moment passed by heaven's grace,
given and reliving
every line upon her face.
Unmarred as I'm unsettled
place the chance on no regret,
that shadow of perfection
chasing evening's silhouette.

Predetermined Fashion

To live and die in a moment
a stroll from end to corner block
a city street, the ocean
or the highest mountaintop.
Surreal to think the rise and sink
no more than circumstance,
perhaps this walk much tougher here
or there you choose to dance.
Product of our spiraling fate
now spin in perfect time,
from block to block to mountaintop
we live and die design.
