Musings

Where do people go
When they just disappear?
Their lives but a memory
A dream in the night
Do they become angels
Watching over us by day?
Or are they simply
A figment,
Vanished,
When no one left remembers?

Better Days

I can't think of more to say
I've said it all
And then the feeling comes
Rushing back into my heart
I remember that you've left it behind
Alone with my body and soul
This distant between us
It could be bridged by love
But is it too far to be bound
Even by blue and gold?
The words you say
Aren't comforting in the least
As I lay my head on my pillow
Close my eyes
And dream of better days

Peace

Twas in this bleak and barren land
A single light did shine
Revealing there for all the world
The hope that would be mine
A loving, caring patient man
With soul of burnish gold
He knew the measure of a heart
Kept secrets he'd been told
More faded then a lullaby
His race is more than run
I hold him as he turns to cry
I must be the stronger one
Peace is found in withered arms
And calm in shades of blue
Eyes exchanging pregnant looks
No need to chase, pursue
Sitting there by roaring fire
The storm outside extreme
Only a slow and throbbing ache
Proves life is not a dream

Books

I can’t conceive

Of a way

To bring us together

Oh, I knew its but a dream

But a fantasy has built worlds

Who wouldn’t want to live

In such a vivid illusion?

The pages of my real life

Have been torn away

Lost in contemplation

Burned in desire

Beyond retrieval

A new chapter must be written

A cast of characters

Expertly drawn out

Time is coming for big decisions

Most authors worth their salt

Chop heads for verisimilitude

If I can’t have you

In my imagination

Then

I must imagine you gone

And move on

Reaching Toward The Stars

Time is short

Let’s seize what we can

Some people’s tomorrow never come

It’s enough to live now

Have what we may

When the starlight reaches us

It may already be gone

It lives on through our memories

Infinity and divinity

Touches our small souls

Brief glimpses on the immortal

We beg and borrow

Never knowing where it will be snatched

If you wait

Tomorrow’s dream may disappear

Bring them love

Let them grow

Hand reaching toward the stars

My Own Two Eyes

Sink into the warmth

Of pleasured company

Toss a log onto the fire

Wrap a cozy blanket around us

Take a drawn out sip

Out of your tumbler full of whiskey

Pull me closer to you

I need comforting

Will you be here when I wake?

Are you even here now?

Is this only a dream

Brought on by too much reading?

You do seem to resemble

My favorite hero

Tall mysterious shy

Too wonderful to notice

That everyone adores them

But maybe I am dreaming

Cause no way could someone love me

I would only believe it

When I see it

With my own two eyes
