Shepherd's Song

Listen to the shepherd's song
from nigh upon the pass
sound to carry, thirst renewed
through streams that trickle past
Portraits paint around us
life confound us, trees do sway
still the song is carried on
by winds that sweep this way
Breath of God directed
heart perfected, breath it out
listen to the shepherd's song
it's blowing all about
Walk about the world alone
do truth and answers seek
unraveling all the mysteries
enraptured by mystique
Lone this wilderness to stride
we've tried it all, been wrong
sound to carry, thirst is quenched
upon the shepherd's song

What Hearts Conceal

Depths conveyed from blue to gray

displayed in colors felt
somewhere in the times between
our dreams and cards we're dealt
Time reveal what hearts conceal
how long is long enough
be certain in your dealings, friend
with love or lack thereof
Somewhere in those times between
where thoughts do reckless find
something hidden dark and deep
this broken heart remind
Diving down yet coming up
the depths with blue are grayed
somewhere in the times between
our dreams and cards we've played

Iris of The Eye Retract

Iris of the eye comply
give truth in sparkled dance
for hers is mine by hearts design
the child of circumstance
Love, desire in rippling spire
from center ripple back
love is like you're breathing in
from when the heart reacts
Life in understanding
passion branding, furies force
nights of comprehending
fire un-ending, no remorse
Born of circumstance to dance
these spiraling steps of time
iris of the eye retract
exact in his design

Storied Sun

Night dispel as morning fell
tell dreams and stars alike
storied sun it's heat to come
where hearts and thoughts ignite
There upon the breaking clouds
to sing of passing age
a single ray did light convey
the depth of dreams to gauge
Veiled in misty morning
hopes and time are filling tombs
those who go before us
leading those who go too soon
Burning fast with heat around us
seconds beckon for reprieve
none be found as clocks compound
the truths our heart's conceive
Nothing here forever
watch the morning fade to night
storied sun til heat is done
for dreams and stars alike

Here Is Where The Wild Things Are

Here is where the wild things are
come truth on skin convey
through the jaded shades of night
ignite those clouds of gray
Fire to burn in shadows yearn
and force these wants to feed
here is where the wild things are
where heart's and pleasures breed
Wrapped in soulful measure
treasures deep with warmth to touch
those secrets held in favor
just to savor them as much
Letting go as fears do flow
control gives way to slide
on the silky sheets defeat
and hearts come compromise
Here is where the wild things are
just stars 'cross night to play
skin reveal what's truly real
igniting clouds of gray

Thoughts Abate

Thoughts abate what ghosts create
that shadow-ed veil collide
passage from another world
unfurled in death's design
Trapped between the past unseen
as futures held their dreaming
shades now made to serenade
the passing of redeeming
Woeful sounds through night abound
as weeping takes the place
of thrillful dreams and hopes it seems
to fall so far from grace
Found in fear what heart's revere
time here is slow and stalling
thoughts abate what ghosts create
too late to hear it's calling

Desire

On your back as thoughts react
desire to play it's role
here upon the shadows play
where midnight takes control
Death of inhibitions
no decisions, skin reacts
games upon her midnight played
conveyed to re-enact
All day in your passing
forming thoughts about your taste
all the while these hands beguile
and dance about your waist
Stories told in sweat and passion
epic waves of storms we weather
crashing of your innocence
intents of my endeavor
Lying still on sheets to spill
the fruits of labor spent
hands in heaven's corridors
as fingers unrelent
Give to me your reason
treason-ed heart did play it's role
I kiss your back as thoughts react
and midnight takes control
