The Premonition

Storm to form or clouds a-lifting
thoughts are drifting on the tide
the ending of an era
or the dawn of hope to rise
Minds confined to younger times
when our horizon's filled
with wonders in the drifting clouds
and truths not yet revealed
Yet in the years to follow
swallowed deep and tucked away
eyes that peer to yesteryear
with wonderment display
To look into the coming storm
with thoughts on drifting tides
the ending of an era
or the dawn of hope to rise

Diamonds In The Dark Embark

Spinning off in glory
shining stars do stories tell
out upon the sea of time
where lingering dreams set sail
Among them dance forever
sparkle on to never fade
diamonds in the dark
embark and softly serenade
Tell of all the mysteries
speak light of love you're sending
spinning off in glory
in a story never-ending

To Walk Away In Shaded Gray

To walk away in shaded gray
where teardrops fall like rain
timing's fate too soon, too late
like smoke in summer fade
Embedded though as hearts let go
no more to go unsaid
to walk away in shaded gray
you'll stay this way instead
Silhouette of love's regret
a spectre'd shade to dance
product of the love we made
a ghost of circumstance
Reflected here in passing tears
those storms so dark to fade
to walk away in shaded gray
as midnight serenades

Adrift on Heaven's Glory

Adrift on heaven's glory
stirring deep as colors paint
a myriadic multitude
as blues and greens acquaint
Intermingled grace of God
in depths to us unknown
spectrum made to serenade
and to the heart atone
Salt prescribed to cure revive
and wash in soulful cleanse
adrift on heaven's glory
as the ocean waves come in

Shroud of Night

Shroud of night invoke invite
and dance upon your dare
swallowed up as flames erupt
and swirl us unaware
In the furied veil of light
where lips on passions play
through the misty midnight
smoky mysteries array
Smiling from the darkness
as again in perfect time
the shroud of night invoke invite
her body into mine
As fiery confrontations
swirl about the midnight air
swallowed up as flames erupt
and dance upon your dare

Pen In Hand

Do you seek
though all you find
with glass in hand
and thoughts in mind
A simple word
reheard of mine
and what it meant
in other times
Do you know
with pen in hand
thoughts of you
at my command
With lines to read
you comprehend
that words from me
on you depend

Where Tongues Do Reckless Run

Forced upon the lips are words
though heard yet still they play
things we think to clarify
and things we shouldn't say
Thoughts that surely have no place
and ones need long since said
love replay but hate replace
the nicer ones instead
Burning hot for bringing thought
where tongues do reckless run
behind these teeth to secret keep
until this voice is done
