And Thoughts Take Flame

And thoughts take flame in falling rain
and thereto stood my dare
as mists abound and swirl around
a dream as thin as air
Lightning all around ignite
the night with pulsing glow
unto this day it serenades
the corners of my soul
And thoughts take flame in falling rain
and hereby sits my stare
among the mists that swirl and kiss
a dream as thin as air

Becomes Our Portrait Painted

Life and death and all between
the sprawling span of time
laced with painted memories
to dance upon the eye
Everything connected
ripple out and back again
an ever changing portrait
made of sun and rain and wind
Into our lives in doses
roses graced with piercing thorn
to temper still in truth reveal
and teach the tempest torn
Try drinking of it's beauty
tasting life as raindrops fall
for beauty fades and time persuades
the hurry of it all
For moments saved in passing
light reflected on the eye
becomes our portrait painted
in the sprawling span of time

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
