"Home"

I shall write in mornings glow,
would you walk with me there,
things I need to know.
if the world is the same,
for you as it is for me.

A lovely place for poets to be
They sometimes make me cry.
I have searched for many a day,
To stop those tears in my eyes.
I want to find a trace of your light,
It was not fair you know.

A trail gone cold in my sight
To walk that extra mile.
As I just wanted to be with you,
To see your beautiful smile.
To all that you know
Take care out there.

beaudelia

turn down the radio
the darkness slips the latch
to these gates

and the ribbons of night
create their works
swiftly moving masque

touch to touch
as innocent as breath
and text

trembling nervous as
the stars
filling appetites of
heavens charmes

Hope?

Destiny,
a street sign pointing left
when the road

is about to end.

Calculated moments...irreverence...

I felt it once...pretty certain that's what it was...

a future, life without anger, sadness and hatred
a calming sense of self
that everything would be okay

a little word followed by a simple word strung together into a sentence
a compliment

that

stung like a swarm...needles pricking, poking, sticking
drawing blood vile after vile

Positively negative

See not only the dark side of life
there is more brightness
than what one can visualize ...

just see the positive side...
and smile .....
darkness is just for a while

so the longer part of day
in broad day light do smile

just don't in the darkness of life while
friend smile
see me
Smile!

Shore tense

buried beneath
in quiet silt airs
stirs the current
slowly

and on crane legs
steady

as evening
thickens fast
in the pace
of my forest

night
stretches her
violet mood
throws
back her
mane of stars

d e s u l t a t i o n z

fragrance
set like waves
upon the valley
the wind shift
dance
in the dirt dry grass

cry alive
the bitter burr
the clasp brass
golden sheen
of the watch machine

step on gusts of routes
and rows
spinning clouds
aloud
and new

of all things
auld
of what was took
and knew

these soft sup shines
touches kind
nudges
like knees
upon velvet cushion
pews

A King's Folly

So it was Ulric, the Heathen King who rode on a black warhorse.
The ten thousand men he led, all giants from the north..

Savages who lived for the kill, raid and plunder.
Such was their cruelty , that they spread a reign of fear.

Undefeated in many battles, they became so arrogant
that they thought they were invincible after many seasons,

Yet the worst was their king who claimed to be God,
demanding to be worshipped when he was a mortal lord..

The Same Journey

Together we gather
Alone we judge the results
Leanings of lifestyle
So changes the seasons of the mind
Yours to your roots
Me to mine.

Yet do I hear a similar song
Taken from an ageless tune
People always seem to walk in shadows
The shadows of those before
The same sun shines on us both
Though at differing times
Then relative position
Hammers another song.

mirrror me mirror

A mirror simply reflects ...
the surface
depth is measured by ones eye
don't feel shy
we all are worthy creatures of nature ...
and...
we only mirror
what!
ourselves......

feel the essence of the individual,
mirrors
are only silent observers,
this is what anyone can tell
