Autumn In Reflection

Autumn in reflection
looking back on summer days
daylight fading into dark
as streetlights hum away
Off in distant shadow calls
a voice to heart ignite
all is done and headed home
goodbye for now goodnight
Autumn in reflection
smoke to curl and passions end
desires implore a little more
adore our time my friend
Off in distant future find
when days are long and still
autumn in reflection
and what it might reveal

Soul Dispel

Soul dispel those secrets held
and speak of sultry shades
colors spun in hearts undone
from blues and back to grays
Sketched upon a fading heart
impart your will at last
meant to guide and coincide
with every second's pass
Seems as if with dreams adrift
that time itself does sway
guiding more it's last implore
of love to show the way
In it's wake these ripples make
kaleidoscopic seams
sewing in the fabric of
oneself and what it means
Beat oh heart til death depart
the key to secrets held
colors spun in hearts undone
into the soul dispelled

Fiery Light

Fiery light revive ignite
with words that speak of flame
clouds abate though resonate
with darkness til you came
Centerpiece of life remains
return to burn and cast
equal on the ones to come
as those whose times have past
Just a moment 'neath your eye
then sleep til time it wanes
until your lips surround eclipse
with words that speak of flame

Time Persuades

Time persuades our past to fade
though aging colors hold
stories told, some new, some old
hands played while others fold
What conceals these thoughts revealed
the canvas or the ink
none to know the highs and lows
or depths to which we sink
Dreams survive in jaded eyes
comprising colored shades
thoughts to dance as hearts romance
a glance before it fades
Captured time invoke remind
tell tales wrote on the soul
time persuades our past to fade
though aging colors hold

Winds Are Sudden Shifting

Winds are sudden shifting
lifting spirits in their wake
waters ripple in and out
and circle back in place
Everything connected
perspective here is key
only for a moment comes
a time for you and me
Ever fading colors
shading fall away to spring
winds are sudden shifting
connecting everything
Time of no relation
to a heart that knows it's place
praying for a little more
til sleep comes swiftly grace
Every second made to taste
so drink the wine of living
waters ripple in and out
and winds are sudden shifting

In The Arms of Morning

In the arms of morning

wrapped adrift in love's delight

skin to skin as thoughts begin

descent from starry night

Here in daylight's dawning

yawning off in distant dreams

she is everything I want

and nothing that she seems

Tight to hold to heaven

time to pass those moments will 

linger close as seconds froze

and there they remain still 

Love to flame those pictured frames

like dreams are taking flight

in the arms of morning

wrapped adrift in love's delight

Spirit's Fruits

Spirit's fruits are resolute
for those who dare believe
time a dance we all must chance
with hope to interweave
Rising sun with dreams begun
as daylight breaks the dark
turning face to swift embrace
and on the journey start
Moments held with minutes meld
like stories on the soul
tucked away for trying days
released to his control
Guiding light let fears take flight
hold fast as sands do fall
spirit's fruits are resolute
believe and that is all
