Pen In Hand

Do you seek
though all you find
with glass in hand
and thoughts in mind
A simple word
reheard of mine
and what it meant
in other times
Do you know
with pen in hand
thoughts of you
at my command
With lines to read
you comprehend
that words from me
on you depend

Where Tongues Do Reckless Run

Forced upon the lips are words
though heard yet still they play
things we think to clarify
and things we shouldn't say
Thoughts that surely have no place
and ones need long since said
love replay but hate replace
the nicer ones instead
Burning hot for bringing thought
where tongues do reckless run
behind these teeth to secret keep
until this voice is done

Sun Upon My Skin, Descend

Sun upon my skin descend
oh wind come play about
speak with ease of falling breeze
and usher summer out
Bring about the dawning chill
of winter's coming threat
but whisper still of days concealed
it hasn't touched just yet
Music on the breeze the leaves
as they too sing their songs
echoes of their passing love
since time has done them wrong
Flowers late in bloom assume
and hurry 'fore it's gone
the final hope for spring is sprung
and seeds for future sown
Yet in the waning moments
hope like smoke to faintly drift
with sun upon my skin again
as spirits gently lift

Til Nothing More

If no one walks beside you
or invites you for a stroll
from here into eternity
til time no longer flows
Upon that midnight meadow
through the winter wooded vale
souls to slide and coincide
with stories we could tell
Til nothing more
but choices made
sings songs of love
and serenade
Til dusk and daylight dawning
from each other never run
if no one walks beside you
I 'll be there to be the one

Skin Ablaze

Skin ablaze as midnight grazed
and burned to fire ignite
passions deep where secrets keep
and memories oft delight
Stories told in velvet folds
and dance about with grace
nails that dug in fits of love
now swirl about her face
Afire within the burning
yearning not for time to pass
for in the mellow afterglow
all sense of time has past
To bathe in moonlit shadows
wrapping skin in shrouds of night
passions deep where secrets keep
and burned to fire ignite

The Sun Reminds

The sun reminds this heart of mine
as 'cross her waves it came
salty air did find us there
and there our hearts remain
A moment froze in warming prose
as sunlight breaks the dawn
and like the waves her smile it plays
it plays here on and on
The ocean all around to dance
and chance another day
the sun reminds this heart of mine
her love won't fade away

Does She Dare

Does she dare with heart aware

to drink life unafraid

will she find her hopes aligned

when on her knees to pray

Dreams alive though love denied

she shines through sacrifice

thoughtful heart to bare it's spark

and light her loving eyes

To trust in our creation

all who thirst they too be filled

to drink of life so unafraid

remade in love revealed

Is purpose found as words go down

like fire upon the page

does she dare with heart aware

to drink life unafraid
