The Hourglass Flipped Over

Beating heart remember
fingertips to call to mind
a moment in our passing
flashing quick, to tick remind
The hourglass flipped over
forcing sand to backwards flow
making time, our choice refined
erasing as we go
Sun from midnight's passing
daylight breaks and clouds do sail
shadows moving softly now
upon this ghostly veil
Back still turns that ticking clock
reverse this serenade
a song forever on the heart
to part the fallen shade
Sing of us a moment
lullabies in cradled sleep
where fingertips remember
and our hearts together beat

December's Start

Fire embrace that wintry taste
with ice on lips to freeze
no words impart December's start
to warmer hearts deceive
Stole away for warmer days
your sunlit rays to dance
there we play 'neath sky's display
replay our heart's romance
Seasons come and go you know
to cycle changing tides
deep in my December
fire remember coincides
With the passing of the ages
phases in and out again
but here the sky on hearts rely
and on you warmth depend
Frost to blanket sacred ground
as embers burn and tease
fire embrace that wintry taste
with ice on lips to freeze

Smoky Ash On Fiery Air

Despair in tasting sorrow
smoky ash on fiery air
Thoughts are heavy sinking
slinking slither here and there
Through the depths of darkness
harken well the past retell
the detriment of devils
levels nine circles of hell
Touch to self reflection
insurrection of elation
emptiness of heart does start
a stunning revelation
Time here goes unending
sending chills to bending spine
gnashing teeth and fire beneath
into this lake resigned
There where fire dies never
tongue 'hind teeth forever clenched
hearts conspire in living
giving thirst to throats unquenched
Ne'er too late redemption
exemption in the 'morrow
smoky ash on fiery air
despair in tasting sorrow

Twinkle Fade

Shades of burning color
like none other twinkle fade
almond eyes of smoke's descent
relent and serenade
Caught in pools that ripple
flinch to flicker light react
drowning in their memories
no chance of coming back
Wading deep as water's changing
ranging hearts to souls divide
in their simple shatter
matter moves and thoughts reside
Mine forever closing
they're composing symphonies
melodic turn of fate relate
the songs of you and me
Blink this rush of smoke invoke
those dreams on promise made
shades of burning color
like none other twinkle fade

Whisper Through The Trees

Time knows not a whisper
all is quiet, thoughts are still
the past is but a day away
upon our windowsill
Hearts are in the meadow
green the grass and calming breeze
here the wind is playing
singing, swaying through the trees
There in shaded valleys
dusty roads our love explore
so much hope in knowing
it was me you're looking for
The sun has took to setting
once forgetting heat's embrace
night has found it's calling
falling quick as day does break
The future but a day away
as winds come cool and crisper
all is quiet, thoughts are still
til time knows not a whisper

In The Dawn Where Dreams Dispel

Words abound in silent morning

twilight breaks and echoes play

through the burning blue imbue

a lighter shade of gray

Here the waves are coming

so she does and secrets meld

far from sunlight touching

dark unto these dreams dispel

Slip into my fading dawn

and I to yours go hide

do I drive it deep enough

to touch your love inside

Hands on hands are clenching

wrenching lightning in a flash

from the dark that tiny spark

restart this ember-ed ash

Taste of lust remaining

burning hot with fiery tension

come into my being seeing

more than I can mention

Here where depths are diving

souls connect in distant gray

with words upon the morning

twilight breaks and echoes play

My Little Flame

Fire to dance and flick about
depend on fuel to flame
dare to court this dance of sorts
in short cavort to tame
A moment on the skin offend
if so dare not to dream
for no surprise should find your eyes
as fires desire to steam
Smoldered hot unknowing
just a breath is all that's caught
to dare to court this dance of sorts
and drink til thirst we not
Fiery end of passion
glowing hot on nature's wick
none to tame this fire remain
within it's flame to lick
Dance upon my wanton eye
divide and flick about
here you burn to here return
no fear of going out
