The Carriage Ride

‘Twas a beautiful day for a carriage ride.
Romance hovered sweetly in air.
My beautiful belle was close by my side.
My world holding nary a care.

A sunrise afresh, newborn rays they did pour,
Is how our morning was started.
When up went...

My Eyes Retrace

I still see your moonlit face
Your eyes, your mouth my eyes retrace
Your soft smile I hold so dear
Your laughter upon the night I hear
My heart crushed in sad despair
The lonely nights without you there
I never thought life would find
Another life...

Unbearable

The pain is unbearable
Yet I am numb
The screams are deafening
Yet no one hears
They see the smile
But the tear remains hidden
I am breathless from running
Yet I am frozen in time
I will live with the pain
Until I see you...

We Are We

Unexpected
Unknowingly
Innocent
Your laughter
The attraction was instant
My laughter
I tried to avoid it
But fate would not let it be
I had to taste you
I had to feel you
If only for a moment
So that I could know why
Why the universe was...

Flint To Steel

You spark my desire like flint to steel
Smoldering, then bursting into flame
Burning like seasoned hedge
Cast iron stove sides glowing bright red
I am anchored to you like a great ship in the harbor
Each link in the chain a beautiful memory
A link...

You Surrender

You surrender
Like the earth surrenders to the sun.
Outstretched
Luxurious
Hills and valleys basking in the warmth
Marvelous
Magnificent
Glistening petals in the morning dew
Thirsting
Unquenchable
Deeply drinking from your eternal river...

Hopeful Romantic

God please grant it, in her glow I'll bask.

Time Is Mine Enemy

The night sky splits.
A jagged tear.
The shimmers shudder in distance.
The endless sky is forever gone.
Only a distant memory.
As distant as the shimmers.
My verse now falls on empty hearts.
A hanging tear finally falls.
Like the morning dew...

Tin Roof

I still remember the sound
Of rain on the tin roof

Drifting off to sleep

Echoes in my head...

Waves crashing

Some day we all learn
Life is about choice

And we hold onto

That which is strange

What just won’t last

Granny’s On The Dance Floor

Granny's on the dancefloor.
Glad her walker has new grips.
She's in her groove to bust a move.
But just don't bust a hip.

Shaking it to hip hop.

Her swivel hips can't seem to stop.
Those hips are Teflon...
