The Knowing of the Night

Here in shadows growing

comes the knowing of the night

stars above are fading

serenading their goodbye

Darkened depths grow darker

with the night our only gauge

to reunite as dreams ignite
til light does turn the page
Yet here in midnight's shadow
memories laid in such array
everything is to it's order
to implore her, mistress stay
Make the most of time together
he endeavors sands to still
here in shadows growing
though the light begins to fill
Banished once again and gone
adrift upon the light
until the stars are fading
to the knowing of the night

Cleansing Tide

Cleansing tide to coincide
with colors deep displayed
dark imbued with lighter hues
in spectrum's serenade
Soul defined by blending lines
with time as feelings flow
thoughts conveyed to masquerade
now fading as they go
Darker lines are redefined
and grays give way to blue
cleansing tide to coincide
with colors rich and true

No Flaw To Future's Flow

Architectured time design
no flaw to future's flow
twist to turn in fiery burn
and fading as it goes
Comets sift through darkened rifts
adrift and lifting slow
borrowed time by sharp design
no flaw to future's flow

Warring Mind

Warring mind cannot define
itself or biding faction
by design enlightened kind
aloft in this distraction
Tempest tossed the soul accost
enraged and caged within
a warring mind cannot define
or wind up one again
In darkness lieu we bid adieu
to fathomed depths, to dive
there to stay in shadowed grey
til war no more can thrive

Of Rust and Moth

Of rust and moth and aging cloth
for time must take its toll
sands to sift as seasons shift
and drift beyond control
Of rust and moth the reaper's swath
is wide and knows no end
moments held they too are felled
when night takes flight, descend
Of rust and moth and furies wroth
take hold as fates are flying
for nothing's worse than life rehearsed
not living til you're dying

Faded Bronze and Golden Copper

Faded bronze and golden copper
salty air and hearts ablaze
drifting through an ocean
of emotion's tidal waves
Ebb and flow they come and go
and live in love they made
as oceans of emotions
gently kiss and serenade
Thoughts to rise like passing tides
they too must come and go
faded bronze and golden copper
time could never stop her glow

Hearts Apart Are Drowning

Hearts apart are drowning
weightless made though sinking fast
time around resounding
echoed heart goes beating past
Tidal wave we meant to save
yet now in waters deep
hearts apart are drowning
mine to take and yours to keep
Drifting soul beyond control
where hopes and dreams are cast
time around resounding
weightless made though sinking fast
Through solemn shade to serenade
a king has found his crowning
as death surrounds without a sound
and hearts apart are drowning
