Love, Images-Motional Glass

Are you in love? The sea? Musclecar? a child of the 60's? 
Life experience applied to life - I can feel 
you move...I want to reach deep inside you everything you feel and trust. 
Don't be afraid to look 
Love, Images-Motional Glass is just for your taking by the hand. 
Feel, move-touch.

Winds

Romance appeared out of 
nowhere is a beach awaken 
on sands...September winds 
Dusk has fallen, finding myself talking to you 
My hand in your hair 
shells tell time 
Being close to you far away 
Marriage is love always 
my dream September.

Bracelet

The bracelet is a precious part. 
I give her all my love...from 
my palms..my feet 
Her love is a bracelet 
Autumn flowers to her side is a precious part of me being here.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Summer Wisdom

1964, 65 and 66 was Spring raindrops 
so mistry--beautiful 
67-free in Monterey 
68 and 69 is Summer, thus 1968  
starting warmer color. 
1970 carry 71 and 72 as Fall and joy 
overcast, to sit and wonder 
1973 is Winter sun 
thus warmth - 1974 being 
Summer speaking to 1969 
for acceptance 
Summer past I remember towards silence, when I speak time from wisdom  
follows my first love.

Monterey

Monterey meant so much. 
I laid, I drove 
disappeared to a distance 
No scars is a peace sign 
I gave to my fellow man 
hearing it through 
strings-to forgive my outcast.

Love And Free

Breaking away from my hand and 
running into the sun 
Turning my back promising 
not to cry walking past 
sands-shells are bottled 
pearls to remember...My 
hand I always have
