A Heart Out On The Water
A heart out on the water
drifting through the rise and fall
on an ocean of devotion
that's the notion of it all
Horizons paint of time's restraint
and well they still remind
a moment here then gone my dear
like clouds upon the sky
Waves to ebb and flow you know
and so too goes that heart
on an ocean of devotion
til the skies have all gone dark

Winter's Stead
Crimson red in winter's stead
as fiery thoughts arise
made to slip from velvet lips
in sultry compromise
Temper sharp as steel reveal
the way in darkened night
through the calming grey to break
and bathe in fading light
In stark contrast to summer's grasp
with white in spite of red
thoughts to slip from velvet lips
adrift in winter's stead
Time Defined
Time defined by shadowed lines
though time not quite linear
left to grace an aging face
they all but disappear
Memories true in hopeful hue
to paint of joyful graces
til nothing more is left explore
and pain remains but traces
Faded flow to color though
in sparks to burn, refine
left to grace an aging face
erasing all but time

Ocean Fade
Ocean fade to serenade
upon the heart reflect
dwindling rays in bright display
to play in retrospect
Soon the day to drift away
and sway in night's advancing
cradled in the depths of dreams
where hearts do spark, romancing
Ocean fade to serenade
of love and resurrection
memories play in bright display
upon the heart's reflection

Smoke As Spirits Lift
Smoke to drift as spirits lift
from thine own mind withdraw
deeply veiled where dreams are held
and shadows creep and crawl
Darkest night in shelter hide
beneath the crimsoned flash
upon the face of God's embrace
dismayed and downward cast
Safe to sway in midnight's gray
alone this dance does flame
to light a path in aftermath
this smoke does just the same
In retrospect as thoughts project
our dreams through stars to sift
now tucked away in midnight's gray
like smoke as spirits lift

A Taste of Wine
A taste of wine to oft remind
on crimson lips to flush
warming still as time reveals
that old familiar rush
Burn to taste and yet with haste
the glass to pass again
from fingertips to stinging lips
I trace just where they've been
Seconds slow on fire although
these flames remain with time
fingertips on crimson lips
with wine to oft remind

To Drift Upon That Ocean
Drifting out upon that ocean
gentle waves now come alive
the rains they fall aplenty
unrelenting dance to dive
Down into the depths to rest
as waters rise again
hard to see the shore implore
the heart from giving in
Tossed about as tides roll out
though still no land in sight
adrift upon an ocean
of emotions that we fight
Falling rain come wash away
and pray for clearing sky
from grey to blue in time it's true
as hope comes drifting by
Still out upon that water
seems to drown's the only notion
just know that you are not alone
adrift upon that ocean
