Destinies Entwined

Destinies entwined designed
by fate the cards were dealt
wanting for what hearts implore
that feeling never felt
Stories not of our own choosing
destinies dare not relate
when hearts resign refusing
losing hold on what awaits
Time does mold the future
colors paint a vivid scene
moments lost adrift and tossed
on oceans in between
Yet horizons hold our purpose
clouds and sorrows dissipate
patient still as heart's reveal
a love we can't forsake
Gift of God's creation
joy unmatched his love remind
the hands of fate designing
finding destinies entwined

Behind The Misty Shade

Hearts regale the midnight veil
behind the misty shade
wrapped in strokes of morning
forming warming serenade
To the soul is quenching
wrenching deep where passion plays
shifting from the morning
blues and whites to black and grays
Storied heart is torn apart
by fires that need our tending
sultry flame to burn untamed
with words unheard unending
Dance no rest as consciousness
gives birth where dreams reside
a song upon our twirling
swirling hot as heat collides
Turn in wrapped amazement
forming one from dreams of two
give to me your burning
yearning fire inspire it's due
Here we dance together
time can't measure choices made
hearts regale the midnight veil
behind the misty shade

Upon The Looking Glass

Gaze upon the looking glass
reflect on things unseen
the future or the past are cast
as echoes now it seems
Ripples on the surface
time does turn and fade to black
to gaze into the looking glass
the screen behind the mask
Silent stories playing
graying now in jaded hue
hearts revere those pictures dear
the past in painted view
Mirror or reflection
insurrection of our souls
do you see the truth perceived
or what the heart controls
Visions haunt unending
sending ripples, echo fast
the future or the present found
upon the looking glass

The Meadows of The Heart

Ever fast the winds are blowing
'cross the meadows of the heart
calming breeze, sililoquies
of what the day imparts
Deep where passion's painting
sunlight comes to night dispel
through the misty morning
pouring rays on shadow's veil
Leaves of reminiscence
in remembrance echo still
truthing wind to peace ascend
and mend the broken will
Nearby river raging
diving depths one only knows
mountains made of sorrow
still on them does sunlight show
In the midday sun reflecting
light from hindsight guides the way
further on to midnight
when the final penance pay
Twilight now comes calling
soon return for now depart
ever fast the winds are blowing
'cross the meadows of the heart

Life's Enigma

In regards to life's enigma
words beseeched on paper stay
regardless of the passing time
designed to fade away
Is it true those words imbue
the depth of understanding
who we are a puzzle far
beyond our comprehending
Each piece of our own choosing
forming interlocking chance
Could it be our forms are free
designed to dream and dance
Turn your storied pieces
keep them close each one it stays
simply words on paper
life's enigma never fades

Secrets Held In Fading Plaster

Secrets held in fading plaster
fairytales of days gone by
or darker things beneath the seams
play tricks on wandering eye
Dust and vengeance linger
echo still as waves resound
shadow sheer of yesteryear
can not your peace be found
Memories etched of heart's connect
those things to which we cling
secrets held in fading plaster
echoed time and passing dreams

The Morning, Touch Embrace

Touch, embrace the morning
giving birth to life renewed
cycle from it's yawning
until twilight's had it's due
All things done, full circle come
washed clean in dew refreshed
from dust we came and thus remain
this flesh unto this flesh
Baptized in the dusky dawn
clothing meadows fresh in sky
greens and reds in pirouttes
interlaced and multiplied
Each breath another purpose
such is life to serve in grace
life renewed to cycle true
the morning, touch embrace
