Painted Words On Skin

Painted words on skin akin
to what the soul confides
so much more is written for
in depths it often hides
Ink to etch those feelings left
though pens just can't convey
trailing lines that by design
are meant to fade away
Yet here to burn immaculate
these lines are left to trace
burning hot in passions caught
once penned in love's embrace
Words that echo from the past
and ripple back again
so much more is spoken for
by painted words on skin

Shaded Blues

Shaded blues in dusky hues
enraptured by her glow
wrapped in nothing more than night
and what she dares to show
Baring soul in comfort's skin
with neon bright on flesh
heart's despair and smoky air
alive with love's regrets
Sultry siren of the night
a fire on streets of flame
shaded blues in dusky hues
too wild to ever tame

Thoughts In Rendezvous

Thoughts of you in rendezvous
as sands now slowly pass
hands caress the emptiness
where cloudy dreams amass
Dreams in place of heat's embrace
as souls connect unknown
love replayed to serenade
a heart that's all alone
In the meadow of your grace
to taste that summered wine
in smoky swirls as dreams unfurl
and blink to think divine
Time again return descend
as hearts depart, adieu
hands caress the emptiness
of thoughts in rendezvous

Expansion Of The Mind

Expansion of the mind defined
by depths that go unknown
children of the universe
naked and alone
Here among the swirling stars
we spin so unaware
time to come and go although
just dancing at our dare
Left to whims as daylight dims
and gone is youthful thought
simply just sporadic dust
or fire by fury brought
Go not to that darkened hue
without first bringing light
wondrous scale by truth revealed
to question wrong and right
Expansion of the mind defined
by what we're really shone
to save us from a universe
so naked and alone

Mirror To The Past

Mirror to the past at last

your guise revealed it seems

here upon the sandy shore

reflecting hopes and dreams

In the image flash the past

to look from what has been

never more to see a shore

where heaven's starting in

Fear is caught as waves are wrought

and stormy waters weigh

yet simple now avert somehow

what mirrors often say

Look beyond the old mirage

on waters still unsailed

mirror to the past at last

your truth has been revealed

And Like The Sea

And like the sea devour me
let waves crash all around
salty lips and fingertips
and sweat go rolling down
Thoughts afire with hot desire
I'd fade into her sun
drift away and serenade
until her fire is done
Words on burning shores implore
as hands in passion trace
her waters play in truth persuade
my soul to have a taste
Cast into a tidal wave
to drown my love at sea
and like the ocean wash away
in waves devour me

Deep In Dark and Drifting

Deep in dark and drifting
spirits low from failing dreams
time itself ongoing
though it's slowing here it seems
Goodness all around yet anger
claws out from the depths
everyday the same convey
these feelings to you yet
None can understand demand
for all the wrongs to right
never hope for fears elope
across my heart at night
Wake to new day dawning
will these tears go ever lifting
trying just to face the day
deep in dark and drifting
