Mark On Life To Leave

Circling out and cycling in
again comes death's reprieve
thoughts implore and beckon for
a mark on life to leave
For life in all it's cunning
stunning short and running out
to taste in all it's glory
storied love we've heard about
Time does flutter sharp impart
and cuts as hearts deceive
the soul is storing pages
of the words we'd hoped to leave
Turning through as thoughts review
and sentences concede
cycling in and circling out
again comes death's reprieve

Fire and Furies Feed

Pages turned in revelation
complication, words recede
chapters once imagined gone
to fire and furies feed
Words once stinging strikes of form
on sharp and jaded white
quick removed as faded hues
take place of thought, re-write
Stunning revelations
find themselves on self reflection
chapter-ed time in loving spines
confined in dereliction
Thoughts removed or changing
rearranging plots that twist
words have lost their meaning
seeming now the point is missed
Pages turned in revelation
complication, words recede
chapters once imagined gone
to fire and furies feed

Breath On Shadowed Night

Breath upon the shadowed night
ignite on skin to burn
raising love, awareness of
those things you long to learn
Ragged quick and gasping
rasping fast as truths replace
all the questions of the mind
now lined upon your face
In place now desperation
or elation so it seems
giving up and letting go
as waters flow like dreams
Lost in our translation
words and lips are biting back
coming quick adjoining souls
eclipsing time retract
Lost upon the moment
fiery hearts did skin ignite
raising love, awareness of
your breath on shadowed night

Pictures Paint

And music played aloft, aloud
about my stilling heart
words to dance and thoughts en-trance
as smoke too played its part
Mirrors view enhance untrue
imbue as pictures paint
showing things as what they seem
and seem be things they can't
Mindful tricks are playing
staying feet are moving still
here in midnight's afterthought
with tempting truths revealed
Changing shades to serenade
well played in fading shroud
all about my stilling heart
as music played aloud

Wispy Wind

Wispy wind take flight ascend
and lend your song to skies
breath of God is camouflaged
unto the naked eyes
Ancient words go long unheard
known only to the trees
as soothing winds to them depend
to carry out their deeds
Long before the trials of man
before the rising tide
wispy wind did fly ascend
and lend it's song to skies

Glossy Glimpse of Heaven

Glossy glimpse of heaven
sparkle bright in velvet eyes
thrillful still that glance reveal
they're filled with fire alive
Captured for a moment
yet a second's all it needs
the waves of love come washing
and the heart does skip indeed
There upon my consciousness
to dance about and play
saved of you another
memories quick on heart's to play
Mistress of my morning
yearning swift in lashes swept
into my dreams and other things
it seems you quietly crept
Steal from you what souls imbue
that spark on which I thrive
glossy glimpse of heaven
sparkle bright in velvet eyes

Meteoric Heart's Display

In the calming ticks of twilight
eyes alive with fire's regress
voices deep do bound and leap
as hearts and thoughts digress
Trailing 'cross the midnight sky
come frenzied comets clash
meteoric heart's display
across the mind to flash
Slow to fade this serenade
give life as eyes reflect
on the calming ticks of night
as heart's and thoughts perfect
