The Heart's Disguise

Silent shades through which we gaze
those mirrors of the soul
thoughts resigned to reasoned rhyme
beyond the heart's control
Fevered mind as words remind
her flame does well to burn
made to spin remembering when
on skin to skin return
Salty sweat of past regret
on sheets of velvet glide
tingled turn as fingers yearn
her love they do divide
Forceful still as heat reveals
the loss of inhibition
time reminds of smokey eyes
as dreams come to fruition
Conflicted soul at hearts control
as midnight's passion plays
mirrored eyes the heart's disguise
those shades through which we gaze

Hourglass Unending

Wrapped in dreams or so it seems
as midnight skin comes calling
Fade to black as thoughts react
that storied past enthralling
Shortened days as moments grayed
our days are short in casting
parts we've played to hearts dismayed
conveyed by time outlasting
Bleached by sun as seconds run
sanded hourglass unending
thoughts remind as sands of time
are ours just for the lending
Perhaps persuade our serenade
beyond the glass and shifting
the sky goes blue a lighter hue
and clouds they go a lifting
Starry night wraps dreams so tight
again comes midnight calling
fade to black as thoughts react
while sands at hand are falling

Furied Flame

Calming winds on hearts descend
the soothing pass of time
Reasoned fear for wanting here
those moments made to bind
Wrapped in velvet shade and played
remorse though bittersweet
for all descend like burning skin
reborn renewed complete
Ashes rise to recognize
the story of our falling
dust to dust to skin entrust
those memories recalling
Faintest touch and furies flame
consumed in fires of passion
waters leave their salty sting
recede as waves are crashing
Upon a sea of past regret
awash on distant shore
calming winds on hearts descend
as time goes passing more

Forward Climbing Upward

Forward climbing upward
downward spiral of complication,
honor seems to only dream
of dourly fornication
Wine that must be spoiling
from a lack of love's ambition,
this is all the pull I have
to bring into fruition.
Birth of past regression
thought to put it all behind,
but ghosts that haunt do well to taunt
and echoes do remind
Corridors worth searching for
as thoughts do nightmares breed
Forward climbing upward
falling backward so it seems

Thoughts Collide

Night has fallen sharply
on the echoes of the past
the warmth is slowly fading
with no sunlight come to cast
Storms inside as thoughts collide
and waves are crashing past
swirling storm to one day form
from all the tears we've cast
Tidal waves as thoughts invade
and fade to leave their passing
the rise and fall for after all
we are the wave that's crashing
Storied past does well to cast
the light on heaven's glory
night invade to serenade
the writing of our story
Calm inside on heart relied
though skin still feels the burning
night has fallen sharply
as the sunlight is returning
Forced to fade as shadows played
the haunting pass of time
echoes of the past do crash
with reason to their rhyme

Photoshop

Collected frames we've rearranged
for stories tell their placing
Memories made as truths conveyed
are played as hearts go chasing
Little known the moments gone
pass still like fireflies fading
Time to age and turn the page
on dreams and tireless waiting
Made to twirl though hearts unfurl
in furied expectation
Fury fade and serenade
a glaring complication
The pass of time as he designed
knows not to slow or quicken
we only own these seconds gone
through memories we're reliving
Muse still made as strengths conveyed
those freeze frames just remind
Collected frames we've rearranged
in albums of the mind

Ripples Made

Mirrors shade though thoughts persuade
as distance resonates
Ripples made forever played
as echoes contemplate
Truth revealed as sands seem still
for hopes still seem persuaded
Listening here as hearts revere
those moments long since faded
Made to dance though none entrance
the chance when chance does show
Wine enhance our storied stance
for hearts know not let go
Hearts conceal can't quiet
raging flood that's overtaking
mirrors shade what thoughts persuade
new ripples in the making
