Rustling Hearts Like Winded Trees

Brush of time in paint define
the rhyme of memories
sounds of raging rivers
rustling hearts like winded trees
Kiss from warming sun has come
to aging bones' delight
still here we find the past remind
that time knows not it's plight
Wisdom comes in waning sun
when skies are cold and gray
the brush of time in paint define
that nothing fades away

Drift In Moonlit Night

Moonlit night with stars ignite
adrift beneath your gaze
kaleidoscopes of beaming hopes
to dance in darkened sways
Shifting clouds as dreams sift down
and through the midnight shine
adrift on eyes that realize
the beauty of the mind
This broad expanse where dreams do dance
with hope and stars ignite
in dark with faith go prayers prayed
to drift in moonlit night

Upon The Still of Morning

Upon the still of morning
'fore the day has yet begun
a choice for sun or storming
as thoughts do reckless run
Eyes are slow in chasing
every glimpse of wonder grace
breath is calm and shallow
hallowed life to love's embrace
Serenity to speak to me
across the soulful span
breathing in as thoughts begin
to turn to tasks at hand
Everyday in dawning gray
a choice for sun or storming
thanking grace for life's embrace
upon the still of morning

Thoughts In Bloom

Thoughts in bloom as clouds resume
and sun on petals played
in heaven's field were dreams revealed
and hearts did serenade
Lost in time two souls align
with skin on skin to slide
reckless free just you and me
awash in nature's tide
Love we made again replayed
'neath skies of loving grace
thoughts resume as clouds they move
and sun on petals plays

Velvet Lines Collide

Velvet lines descend define
in faded shades of gray
swoon and sway as fingers play
and softly point the way
Fire ignite in warming light
to dance and further stay
velvet lines on skin so fine
invoke and quite persuade
Burning hot these embered spots
as skin on skin to slide
in warming light as fires ignite
and velvet lines collide

Coastal Wind

Hearts descend in coastal wind
as shore and ocean kiss
salty spray to calm dismay
and thoughts and cares dismiss
Heat imbue with passion due
to warm and brown away
this burning skin we dance again
and in your glory play
Sounds remind of distant times
they too with smiles embrace
and reminisce on moments spent
as hearts and thoughts they race
With fire alive to soul revive
from sense to heart descend
salty spray to calm dismay
and play on coastal wind

1982

Exalted view of eighty two
with eyes like skies it seems
a world on fire with heart's desire
alive in painted dreams
Waves to flow and time ticks slow
I breathe it's beauty deep
another day to softly fade
to rest in heaven's keep
Endless possibilities
on canvases of time
nights beneath the fiery heat
of streetlights down the line
Penitence and promises
with childlike wonder spent
echo still as words reveal
the kiss of their intents
Warmth we find in younger times
in hope we bid adieu
with aging eyes we still see skies
like those in eighty two
