Cascade

In the midst of morning falling
calling quick as stars are fading
The curtains call to one and all
whose hearts are serenading
Sleep must come to wrap us soft
in blankets of our choosing
as bodies twist and turn to yearn
for time is all we're losing
Gained in moments rapture
meant to capture love cascading
Lips that burn as sands do churn
through hourglass unfading
Tilt to turn it over
travel time relive each minute
thankful for the morning falling
stalling just to have you in it.

By Night We Fly

Quickened pulse and hearts are racing
gracing sight with sultry eyes
falling deep to one another
hiding lover's thin disguise
Thought to keep it secret
years to dive it deep inside
a glance reveals in moments
things they shouldn't have to hide
Still this separation
complication or another
still that burning deep inside
confiding in each other
Caught up and enraptured
captured skin on skin embrace
two hearts are now in rhythm
with them breathing rocks the race
By night we fly to wonder why
time short through eyes we're gracing
falling deep to one another
quickened pulse and hearts are racing

Final Seconds Serenade

Tranquility come wanted
new-found rush of what has been
what came and now is soon to pass
at last you can't pretend.
Cycle comes so certain
comes to curtain fail to flow
yet through it all the constants call
in varied chance you know.
Desire the fire o' funeral pyre
of words that go unseen,
left to dance in circumstance
to dive to die to dream.
Free flowing now as words come quick
through lead to flow to paper stick
True the form to phase to fix
as thoughts are gone unknown predict.
Bounce and move to sinning soothe
too soon on folded heart,
as hurt did crease though God released
the pawn to play the part.
We sow yet he who gives increase
gift life to souls who break in piece
and stagger towards that final peace
to take the stage, the end, relief.
On heaven's shoulders burdens heaved
Souls to shine, rewards to reap
rugged worn but burning bright
a single star remains, the light
A glimpsing glance romanced at least
til journey's end and famine's feast.
