Within A War Is Waging

Within a war is waging
waxing hot on silky skin
midnight on the covers
wherein lovers meet again
Heaven hot on hellish lips
to drift on dripping tides
awash upon the coming wave
that never quite subsides
Fire ascend as hearts begin
in joining rhythms beat
slick with sweat as silhouettes
are met in flickered heat
Furies fought in sheets we're caught
as fiery flames are raging
waxing hot on silky skin
within a war is waging

Polaroid

Smoky greys to fade away
though love we capture still
hid away from life's decay
til times of need reveal
Gone but not forgotten
pining yet for darker days
smiles derived from what's inside
these squared off smoky greys
Enraptured by those grainy lines
developed by our light
smoky greys to fade away
and drift into the night

Shadows On The Desert

Sun is setting on the desert
soon the night comes closing in
to whisper to the shadows
of the places that it's been
Speak of silk surrender
wrapping thoughts in cooling air
graceful lines are well defined
with time and tender care
Heaven's face with love embrace
outlined in night's caress
shadows on the desert
as the sun lies down to rest

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

Moonlight Through The Gray

Swirling dreams and clouds surround me
midnight falling through the gray
sun did shine but thoughts of mine
seem now to dark the day
Hope on the horizon
ever mindful that it's still
things unchanged, yet here remain
and there they'll be until
Made to drift this spiraling rift
on highs and lows to rise
swirling dreams and in between
reflected in our eyes
For clouds roll all around me
yet hope shows through to say
sun to shine through thoughts in time
like moonlight through the gray

Still She Waits and Serenades

Still she waits and serenades
a heart that needs no song
near or far adrift his heart
is hers and hers alone
Carry on like summer's song
to fade into the fall
again with spring and hope it brings
gives way to winter's call
Yet her's another season
seems his love is still in place
for time is just a reason
to keep track of what remains
For in his love surrender
circle back like water's fate
her heart it needs no singing
still she waits and serenades

Fire and Light

Fire and light to sky ignite
kaleidoscopic swirl
views that paint with hues innate
to satiate the world
Wrapped in velvet morning
clinging still to shades of night
grandiose in splendor
as the embers spark ignite
Sky ablaze with blues and grays
and reds to paint of flame
never just do colors trust
themselves to look the same
Guiding force to stay the course
in each new work delight
heaven's paint to correlate
and on the sky ignite

Flowered Soul

Flowered soul beyond control
aspire, desire and chase
lillies of the field reveal
their dreams of love's embrace
Go now whisper on the wind
the hopes of flowered fate
to spin and twirl about the world
as prayers they resonate
Where's the beauty in a bloom
if all the world's asleep
what can grow in winter's snow
entrapped in drifts so deep
Love to thrive a season
only if it's made to wake
just like flowers of the field
to yield in warmth's embrace
Listen close for spring has chose
to lift us from our trance
flowered soul beyond control
aspire, desire and dance

Cosmic Dust

Cosmic dust enthrall entrust
your light as stars en-trance
spinning fast this solar splash
to flash in happenstance
Worlds collide and coincide
at once yet flow unknown
gathered storm the sky adorned
a flash and now it's gone
Heaven's light divine ignite
exploding dreams rescinding
cosmic dust enthrall entrust
your light to love unending

The Fall

Breathing fire just short of heaven
listening to the rise and fall
seems if lips and fingertips
are trembling after all
Edge of love's elation
push I do to watch her slip
nothing quite can interest
like the guise of rising hips
Held in love's surrender
fearful not as lightning hits
assured as storms go passing
re-amassing here like this
Breathing fire just short of heaven
lips of love to now exhale
listening to the rise and fall
I've grown to know so well

Winter's Grip Relax

Fall in death and dying
colors vibrant now give way
winter's kiss is causing this
as youth is worn away
Innocence to falter
in the harsh of her embrace
fall in death and dying
vying not for heaven's grace
Mercy not in time forgot
this chill too quick arrive
fall in death and dying
trying naught to stay alive
As soon as winter's kiss has come
and all the world reacts
she falls in death and dying
crying soft as grips relax

Immersing In The Afterglow

Colors fill my mind remind
the air of salt does sing
drowning in emotions
that the sense of summer brings
Fade into the ocean
as the wind and water sprays
immersing in the afterglow
with thoughts afire ablaze
Sound in vibrant thunder rush
to break about my chest
awash upon the universe
submersed in dreamy rest
All the while in stark denial
to burn with sultry lust
heart's desire a funeral pyre
the fire on which we're thrust
En rapt by senses overload
devoted now to flame
colors fill my mind remind
the sense that summer brings

Latitudes and Longitudes

Latitudes and longitudes
and marginal divides
time to rush and interrupt
the thoughts that coincide
Distant shapes to complicate
the truth behind the lies
time a river flowing
never knowing compromise
Eyes the mirror to the soul
so bright with sun to shine
latitudes and longitudes
exude of the divine
Words to fall like raining ash
as fiery thoughts abound
sun to burn the cheeks we turn
as time rolls back around
Soul unto the heart speak out
into the dark confides
latitudes and longitudes
and marginal divides

Still Frames In The Mind

Still frames in the mind remind
and flick forever fast
time we find is predefined
as sands go falling past
Hourglass to pass implore
with every grain make haste
for time's the only thing we want
we cannot touch or taste
Life like pictures flipping fast
replay our heart's events
still frames in the mind remind
of how our love was spent
Grasping hands at falling sands
these memories are defined
as time well spent and compliments
these still frames in the mind

Spectre Of The Sea

Spectre of the sea decree
these hearts their serenade
to walk upon the waters
of the love we often made
Shade to haunt in salty taunt
like dreams to sultry swirl
drifting in the breakers of
imaginary worlds
Ghostly sea remember we
us two in summer's sting
splashing in the glory of
the heat your waters bring
Echoes kiss on spectred lips
as sun gives way to shade
to walk on haunting waters
as these hearts they serenade

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

Salt Upon Our Skin

Love abounds where waves resound
with salt upon our skin
perfect glow with sun to throw
it's kiss as night begins
In the fading day to sway
with love like summer's heat
warming breeze puts hearts at ease
and waves find sandy feet
On the shores of nothing more
content with time well spent
love abounds where waves resound
with salt upon our skin

Fire Ignite

Fire ignite as dreams take flight
in ash they dance and sway
on wings of night to drift delight
and hurry on their way
The death of dreams or so it seems
as flames devout ensnare
with fire they're met to season yet
and dash upon their dare
Burning thoughts in currents caught
alive with fire ignite
in ash they dance with happenstance
as fiery dreams take flight

Siren Of The Sea

Siren of the sea decree
mine soul forever stay
adrift upon the endless shore
where you and dreams do play
There to dance in warm romance
our love like rolling tides
to ebb and flow like time you know
but never to subside
Salt and sand and skin demand
to drown in heaven's kiss
slowly going under
torn asunder by her bliss
In waves confess and acquiesce
the longing heart does sway
siren of the sea decree
mine soul forever stay

Midnight On The Ocean

Midnight on the ocean
waves alive and stars reflect
melody upon the sea
to dance in retrospect
Soul to glide in knowing eyes
for time so still, serene
echoes on the water
of the things we've done and seen
Midnight on the ocean
heart alive and dreams connect
melody upon the sea
to dance in retrospect

Breath On Skin

Lips on neck and breathing
whisper secrets of the night
a kiss with bliss endeavor
into pleasured fire ignite
Breath on skin and burning
yearning taste of time's remorse
nothing more than wanting for
that heat to run it's course
Lightning made now unafraid
to chase with lips that quiver
passion's place in diving grace
embrace in pace deliver
Steady now oh heart allow
let go with no returning
whisper secrets of the night
breath on skin and burning

Wash The Soul Anew

Sand and sun as dreams are spun
and wash the soul anew
past regrets like sandy specks
now bid the heart adieu
Salty spin as waves roll in
again to ebb and flow
life like tides to coincide
with all we've come to know
Ocean air to dance with flair
on eyes alive that chase
sand and sun as dreams are spun
with love in time's embrace

Simplicity To Some Degree

Simplicity to some degree
expressed in eyes alive
not the things that money brings
but truth and time derived
To float about without a doubt
on wings of freedom flowing
the finest things are chasing dreams
and who we are by knowing
Simplicity to some degree
is what we truly see
life alive through different eyes
is all the truth we need

Breathing Fire

Breathing fire as thoughts transpire
and time like ripples dance
across divides to coincide
and guide in happenstance
Undefined by reasoned rhyme
though still it leaves it's mark
as wisdom paints in fiery flames
and in it's ash depart
Memories felt like smoke exhaled
and cast into the night
breathing fire as thoughts transpire
and dark gives way to light

Inner Light

Inner light does fire ignite
to see her colors shine
world to spin though painted in
the fading shade of time
Still in her does hope occur
with whispering winds alive
secrets held in beauty's veil
and sanctity revive
Creation's child so free and wild
unbridled, unrefined
inner light does fire ignite
to see her colors shine

Graceful Given

Ascension found from salty ground
these souls need intervention
made to shade and serenade
it's ocean aired intention
Fire to fade as hearts persuade
and listen for her calling
followed still I serve her will
as stars do streak in falling
Sparkled dance of happenstance
as waves do kiss and flow
ebb to fade and serenade
this dance of life we know
Caught upon a cresting wave
to crave for more than living
to truly use and not just ruse
the dance we're graceful given

To The Heart Confide

Echoes play as words convey
and passioned thoughts collide
dreams remind of pasts defined
and to the heart confide
Falling more as lines implore
the taste of love's regret
drinking up this empty cup
in fear of nothing left
Who then plays the serenade
as leaves they wilt and love it fades
for time defines the game we play
as skies go dark and sun it shades
Dreams remind that love is blind
the heart in pieces lay
shattered still as thoughts reveal
and echoed words replay

Shaded Silence Raining Down

Shaded silence raining down
as night begins to fall
small array of blue and gray
and gold despite it all
In the dwindling grains of sand
reflected hopes and dreams
yet shaded silence raining down
like ash to pass it seems
Past regret is reigning yet
it too is coming down
thunderous night as breaths ignite
and echoed thoughts resound
Tempered hot by feelings caught
and truths unwelcome still
storming in the morning
forming light to night reveal
Tempest tossed as all is lost
is this the curtain's call
shaded silence raining down
as night begins to fall

Retrace As Waters Still

Clarity in time's embrace
retrace as waters still
echoes ripple in and out
and to one's self reveal
Speak of shaded memories
beneath the starry veil
finding truth in dreams of youth
and sets the soul to sail
Serenity in slowing time
reminds of it's embrace
echoes ripple in and out
as waters still retrace

Love Me Not

Love me now or love me not
for time knows not it's pace
a moment here to disappear
revere our short embrace
Like petals found to drift unbound
our souls too, slowly bind
and soon displace from heart's embrace
so hold on close to mine
For nothing lasts forever
lest it's love made to amend
those moment's lost with caution tossed
and blown upon the wind

Lover's Venge

Language dripping wet inflect
in heat defeat divide
something sweet divine entreat
and splash on soul to slide
Burning hot in moments wrought
agreed and giving in
full relax in forced impact
and guiding hand's intents
Here awash on dreams and tossed
you find your heart's contents
in language dripping wet that's met
with lips of love's revenge

Thoughts To Fall and Flowing

Thoughts to fall and flowing
slowing only in their passing
strike descend on passion's pen
amongst the waves and crashing
Come and go like ripples though
like whispers while they last
memories made they serenade
like echoes of the past
Thoughts to fall and flowing
slowing now with passing grace
and here upon my fingertips
she slips amongst the waves
Here to dance forever
to endeavor on her way
the oceans of my lover
to discover slide and sway
Tides are high and rushing
waves persuade me to their crashing
thoughts to fall and flowing
slowing only in their passing

Phoenix

Raven bold and brazen
laden down with dripping sweat
dark and soul alluring
but enduring nonetheless
Creature of intention
not to mention deadly too
sleek and black as claws retract
and flash with vengeance due
A fiery incantation
fallen ash and phoenix rise
as her flame it flutter flicks
to fix on starry eyes

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

Sun Upon My Skin, Descend

Sun upon my skin descend
oh wind come play about
speak with ease of falling breeze
and usher summer out
Bring about the dawning chill
of winter's coming threat
but whisper still of days concealed
it hasn't touched just yet
Music on the breeze the leaves
as they too sing their songs
echoes of their passing love
since time has done them wrong
Flowers late in bloom assume
and hurry 'fore it's gone
the final hope for spring is sprung
and seeds for future sown
Yet in the waning moments
hope like smoke to faintly drift
with sun upon my skin again
as spirits gently lift

Til Nothing More

If no one walks beside you
or invites you for a stroll
from here into eternity
til time no longer flows
Upon that midnight meadow
through the winter wooded vale
souls to slide and coincide
with stories we could tell
Til nothing more
but choices made
sings songs of love
and serenade
Til dusk and daylight dawning
from each other never run
if no one walks beside you
I 'll be there to be the one

Skin Ablaze

Skin ablaze as midnight grazed
and burned to fire ignite
passions deep where secrets keep
and memories oft delight
Stories told in velvet folds
and dance about with grace
nails that dug in fits of love
now swirl about her face
Afire within the burning
yearning not for time to pass
for in the mellow afterglow
all sense of time has past
To bathe in moonlit shadows
wrapping skin in shrouds of night
passions deep where secrets keep
and burned to fire ignite

The Sun Reminds

The sun reminds this heart of mine
as 'cross her waves it came
salty air did find us there
and there our hearts remain
A moment froze in warming prose
as sunlight breaks the dawn
and like the waves her smile it plays
it plays here on and on
The ocean all around to dance
and chance another day
the sun reminds this heart of mine
her love won't fade away

Does She Dare

Does she dare with heart aware

to drink life unafraid

will she find her hopes aligned

when on her knees to pray

Dreams alive though love denied

she shines through sacrifice

thoughtful heart to bare it's spark

and light her loving eyes

To trust in our creation

all who thirst they too be filled

to drink of life so unafraid

remade in love revealed

Is purpose found as words go down

like fire upon the page

does she dare with heart aware

to drink life unafraid

Upon A Dream and Fading

Upon a dream and fading
serenading night to fall
echoed sounds are all around
resounding through it all
Walk into the midnight gray
a shade upon the black
made to move like angels do
as winged hearts react
A light on ending tunnel play
to beckon those who know
upon a dream and fading
masquerading as we go

Do Eyes Perceive

Do eyes perceive the heart naive
when on them I do dance
perhaps per se this waltz convey
the truth in happenstance
Spun in timely fashion
spiders too anticipate
the weakness of the prey
per se and what becomes its fate
Does it dine for pleasure
will she move in for the kiss
smirking smile for all the while
denial and ignorant bliss

Moments Shade Us Unafraid

Age defined by passing time
though to itself unknown
moments shade us unafraid
to live each one that's gone
Breathing life like wisdom
fruit maturing on the vine
til future needs they supersede
with flavor to our wine
Seasons bringing with them change
arranged in balanced fashion
so too with time the undefined
is changing with it's passing

Where Angels Go To Play

Sanctuary found resound
from depths where angels dare
a moment thin though full of hope
like smoke on autumn's air
Drift about and dreaming
fall ablaze with earthy fire
smoke the scent as embers lift
and float with heat's desire
Wrapped in daft enlightenment
as senses spin and sway
sanctuary found resound
where angels go to play

Care Erase

Nature's pace does care erase
as silence brings reflection
for in it lost are pebbles tossed
like jewels of resurrection
Words now clearly spoken
hearken back to no avail
yet forward still does hope reveal
what dreams just might entail
In the hours 'fore the dawning
in the peace we seem to chase
silence brings reflection
and with time does care erase

Time Goes On It's Way

As time persuades upon it's way
and cycles turn anew
by guided hand invoking dance
upon the morning dew
In tiny drops of midnight
lightning held in bottled bliss
spark imbued to morning
with the warming of a kiss
Adrift on welcomed waters
springing forth while passion's play
and cycles turn again anew
as time goes on it's way

The Ocean Blue

The ocean blue in vivid hue
it's depths like souls divide
across the great expansion
to impassion what's inside
Waters still within us
rushing now like raging tides
are all imbued in vivid hues
where colors coincide
Ebbing flow of his creation
centered now in righteous zeal
as praise is due all things renew
and truth does time reveal
Breath of life in motion
heart alive to love pursue
deep like vivid color
dancing on the ocean blue

Fiery Sword of Confirmation

Fiery sword of confirmation
cleaving deep within the chest
burning conversation
love's elation at it's best
Fire endowed with ember
melting all who dare to dive
into the realms of knowing
what it means to be alive
Hot and often faded
shaded scenes of black and white
nothing more than ash adored
in passions they ignite
To drift amongst the living
giving light as afterthought
a semblance of a moment
glowing distant memory caught
And to the soul is speaking
cleaving deep within the chest
burning conversation
love's elation at it's best

The Depths of Diving, Love

Underwater breathing
seething fear to bubble up
floating still as thoughts reveal
the depths of diving, love
No current overhead and yet
the sand so far away
breathing underwater
as the salt begins to spray
Tears to fall in knowing
flowing fast as tides they rise
underwater breathing
leaving all of it behind

Definition Flawed

Change by definition flawed
for in it's first inflection
sounded full and all pronounced
til furthered my inspection
Through careful time do truths define
a greater form of wealth
so further grow by things you know
be true to thine own self

A Moonlit Lane

A moonlit lane did night reclaim
and to her breast commend
wanderlust entreat entrust
to those whose hearts amend
Though the chilling mists remain
and steadfast seasons flow
a moonlit lane did life reclaim
upon it's midnight glow
