A time for waiting,a hibernation
Before we follow through on dreams
Careful planning,with determination
Putting away unfinished schemes

No day or night is ever wasted
Patience builds slowly day by day
The fruit of forbearance is soon tasted
Sweet as honey where we lay

Suddenly we are enga… Read full post »

Poised along the waters deep
Beneath the darkened sky
Silent thoughts though once asleep
Appear to wakened eyes

Reflections of a time not lost
Of sorrows,joy and pain
The lifelong lessons and the cost
And loved ones that remain

Kind words spoken years ago
Like diamonds in the night
Gives pause to the se…

Does it ask much?
Clothed in simple attire
unassuming

How still it is
Slumbering with the earth
While flowers dream

Beckons man and beast
It's fragrant bed
Always ready

Pictures of her past
Lovely bright colors
Though dark at one point
As seen through filtered light
And a once darkened mind

  

The setting of your deep blue eyes
Entrances me by their liquidity
Longing to swim in their tranquility
Deep in the middle of your ocean tides

Your body slithering like a cunning snake
I am that prey trapped in an underbrush
Longing for lips and tongue that will push
Me to the breaking… Read full post »

Harbinger of death?
Cousin of the butterfly
Why do you seek me

On your fragile wings
Toward the golden light
I float effortlessly

Unearthly messenger
And spirit guide
Opening up psychic revelations

Rebirth and new beginnings
Are your symbols
Fear is a foreign word

An ocean of tears
Formed by a lifetime of woe
Sits stoically by
As shoreline shares in mourning
Two friends are forever joined

These tender moments
A snapshot of perfect love
A minds' souvenir

Unspoiled passion
Hearts,minds,bodies entangled
Oblivious souls

Love's fire ignites
Unaware of distractions
Time is infinite

Steady and patient
Like the bee pollinating
Lovely new flowers
Always present,your love blooms
And I am the rose you hold

In my younger years
A stout and ominous soul
Landmark of nature

In Autumn's hour
A leafless bough,but useful
I sit here waiting

Herons and thrushes
Sit upon their barren thrones
Welcome companions

The glory of Spring
Finds me clothed in fine dress
Adorning nature

And in summer heat
Young children play a/…

Kind
Giving
Not boastful
Meek and gentle
Lacking in Conceit
With an abundant Love
And gratitude for all
Growing in patience with each day
Living life fully,with hope and faith
Taking  nothing or anyone for granted
Following dreams with determination
Distinguishing between wants and needs…

Permanent imprint
Your smile,a frozen picture
To sooth broken hearts

Perhaps a mirage
Floating before my eyes
I grasp for something

Your smile,a dream
Of what was once the ideal
Of a broken life

Love
Patient
Without gall
Spreading the joy
Of selfless giving
It's face,a glowing light
Contagious in its pure form
Harbinger of peaceful moments
Immeasurable, as twinkling stars
Unexpected returns for the giver
Often admired by those in need most
So rare a gift,seldom seen by some
Never wasted,long soug…

Wishes
Dancing nightly
A picture in my brain
A spectacle of bright colors
Teasing
An over flow of  the senses
Contemplation begins
Some goals are set
Hoping

Newly born,written words desire to shine
Basking in glory, a well thought out page
Dressed in fine velum,and well laid out line
With imbued wisdom of the oldest sage

Carrying its readers through time and space
Providing refuge from a hectic day
Most noblest of friends,waits with quiet grace
A majesti…

Your machinations
An abhorrence that haunts me
I sit silently

As someone shell shocked
Feeling numb like Winter ice
In need of refuge

Expressionless face
Tears hidden beyond a veil
Searching for reasons

But dawn will soon come
As swiftly as the dark
Life in earnest waits

Briefly
Without regret
With words that heal the soul
Softly and tenderly offered
Sincere
And intuitively spoken
On angels wings'
A gift

 

Sitting alone

Perched oustide a check cashing store

Looking lost

 

 

White feathers

Glisten in the afternoon sun

Uncommon sight

 

 

God sent

As a message to mourner

Bringing peace Read full post »

 

The sea dashes across the rocks

Like an anxious suitor waiting

To caress his loves raven locks

 

 

Like a shrill melody it sings

To it's lover a lullaby

With a tune carried by birds wings

 

Echoing from the distant shore

Crying out from the ocean depths

Penetrating… Read full post »

 

Like a new seedling

Covered by the darkened earth

Man waits to emerge

 

Pushing up slowly

To an uncertain future

Takes a deep breath

 

Breaking the surface

Showered by bright sunlight

Growth comes slowly Read full post »

 

Complex and moody

Requires cultivation

Produces fine crop

 

The gardner takes care

Nurturing every flower

With patience it blooms

 

Despite tender care

Love like a delicate plant

Will sometimes wilt. Read full post »

Bedroom curtains separate

As a cold breeze rushes in

A grandfather clock chimes eight

Standing before her,they begin

 

 

Full lips kiss her tender shoulder

Sharp teeth graze her fragile skin

He grasps her hand,but she is bolder

A moan escapes him,then he grins
