Summer's Kiss In Winter's Hold

Off in distant forests
carries wind through trees of old
telling tales of longing
summer's kiss in winter's hold
Times ahead are darkened
harken sweeping shadows glide
into the meadows of the heart
to spark the fears inside
Reaching out in hopelessness
the sun falls prey to night
and in it's fiery thrillfulness
extinguished all it's light
Years it seems are sliding past
too fast though day remains
wake to find that warmth remind
our hearts and thoughts the same
Tempered form refined and warm
there's hope in promise made
welcomed night as dreams take flight
a soulful serenade
Listen to the calling wind
it moves through trees of old
telling tales of freeing
summer's kiss from winter's hold

Storied Love

Though time a picture painted

does your hue begin to fade

into the wind to scatter

flatter love a serenade

Or on the wings of angels

darkened dust to brush away

never once to cover 

storied love we often made

Hourglass unending

sending all to meet it's slide

yet not a single color fades

when thoughts of you arise

Though time a picture painted

yours forever on it's sky

in memories created 

and repainted in the eye

Seasons Come

Full into it's equinox

as seasons come around

pulse to pace and interlace

as hearts do reckless bound

Heightened and elated

complicated loving scheme

alive in one another

waking souls that dare to dream

All things finding balance

circle coming back and then

the cycle is repeated 

over once and back again

Full into her equinox

as passion-ed hearts afire

set to pace and rock the race

to burn in love's desire

Yet season's came all the same

with starry eyes connect

full into it's equinox

my sun, my love, reflect

Passion In The Garden

Passion in the garden
moon resplendent unaware
through the cunning canopies
a daisy has her dare
Gently swayed in midnight's gaze
in bathing moonlit glow
wrapped in nothing more than night
enticing passion's flow
Rivers run as two are one
with echoes through the still
shadows slide in time's divide
and bursts of light reveal
Beneath the cunning canopies
in satisfying flare
gently swayed in midnight's gaze
a daisy had her dare

Smoke Between The Mirrors

Smoke between the mirrors
moments slide in pleasure's fade
spirits lift like souls adrift
in longing's serenade
Played about her consciousness
to crest the waves on high
dreams to weave of you of me
til next that ocean rise
Skies in reckless passions paint
with fiery eyes ablaze
smoke between the mirrors
moments slide in pleasure's fade

Did You Know We Used To Dance

Did you know we used to dance
I'd chance you never did
for in the confines of the heart
a spark in secret hid
Tucked away for hopeful days
at night we'd spin and twirl
did you know we used to dance
before you were my girl
Still you were the world to me
a dream I held so close
though time it wasn't just quite right
like life it ebbs and flows
Til one day when your eyes met mine
those sparks could not be hid
did you know we used to dance
I'd chance you always did

Grace

Shadowed veil did light dispel
with hope to coincide
leading where we dream to dare
where hearts and thoughts collide
Measured chance with happenstance
for nothing guides like grace
sun to lend some guidance when
it's shone upon our face
Lost upon a sea of tears
these years accumulate
yet love avow to dry somehow
as waters dissipate
The way to find ingrained in time
it's end we all must face
shadowed veil did light dispel
for nothing guides like grace
