Secrets

The secret voice
Whispering in my mind
Telling me softly
Joking, laughing
Never here, gone
Fleeting, away
No sight to betray
Kiss me invisibly
Touching not being
Once more into the fray
No one knows
Spying on life
Not of but above
You cannot be found

Creed

Speak softly slowly love
I want to drink in your words
Make out of them my Creed
Follow you below and above
As if we two are bound by cord
Superseded by no other need

When you are cut I bleed
Your hurts are mine
This idea is more than a seed
Planted by the Divine
In you I place all my trust
Our fates are one in the same
Together and apart as needs must
Sharing life and name

It's always you I'm running towards
Our love is joined forever
Not to be parted by any sword
This love cannot be severed

Speak softly slowly love
Our love is joined forever

We Are

When the pain gets too much
Remember...We breathe together

When life gets too hard
Remember... We stay together

When the trouble is too scary
Remember... We are unafraid together

When we need to be apart
Remember... We are better together

When it all fades away
Remember... We light each other's way

When the world falls down around us
Remember... When we fall, together we rise.
 

Exeunt

Sitting under a small cloud
Waiting overhead
The stage direction threatens

Exeunt...

Classroom days are over
The sun is burning bright
Summer plans now beckon

Exeunt...

He's not quite the one you thought
She left in dark of night
They've stopped their daily texting

Exeunt...

You know that they've been sick
But you simply haven't called
Afraid of checking in

Exeunt...

Untitled 567

Open your mind and free your soul
The world is more than you know
Real life can take it's toll
Stopping your life energy and flow
Moving while standing still
Meditate to clear your mind
Unlock and take your fill
The world will be yours you'll find

The Harvest

My world begins in your hands
It's flame is fanned by your breath
Build it carefully
Breath life into me
Inhabit this new world
Fill it's mountains and plains
With riches and fruits
Reap the harvest

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

Le Petite

That stubborn curl wrapped 'round my fingers
As you place your head in my hands
The scent of your soap always lingers

The night is quiet and eerie
A soldier awaiting commands
I hear your heart beating clearly

The pace gains a beat, then a breath
I feel like I'm frequently falling
Caught between life and death

Stars burst forth in front of my eyes
Your name, I'm steadily calling
As from the dead, I rise

You are my everything

My head has run out
Of rhymes, of time, of love
I no longer feel safe within myself
You feel my heart, my soul, my mind
My life is yours to do with as you wish
Blooms in May never smelled as sweet
as when smelled with with you
Birds sing sweeter when hear with you
Touch feels better when given by you
The sweetest dessert cannot compare to the taste of you eyes
You are my everything, my life, love my live, my passion
You are you
My all and everything

Singular Lonesome Song

Not sure if I've said the words,
Or said them quite often enough.
But the feelings are there, counted.
Even when I seem angry or gruff.

Sometimes life is too weary.
This burden unwieldy, and vast.
Pain that's echoing onward,
Keeping injury after it's past.

I shouldn't be adding to your lot.
To do so's incredibly wrong.
It's simply that I can not bear it,
The singular, lonesome song.

So if you can, come quickly.
If not, whenever is best.
But when you do we'll leave here,
Take a break and then take a rest.

Sonnet #222

Sonnet  #222

Our time is fast at hand

We must approach with care

The time we have to share

When we’ll walk hand in hand

Along the golden sand

We’ll make a lovely pair

Of only life were fair

But things don’t go as planned

Restraint must rule the day

We find our center space

To wait and rule our souls

We keep our love at bay

Till in the proper place

Till then pain takes its toll

No Fault

No Fault

Pardon me I did not see

The light that left your eye

Deliver me and set me free

I believed your tender lie

The world is made of grey and pale

Not just black and white

I saw your love exchange for sale

In fell and blackest night

Now you are just like the rest

Trying to make life seem stable

But that is not what you do best

You can only do what you’re able

Time to rest for the second act

Time to get yourself on track

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

Season and reason pass away

Like feathers dancing in the wind

All time should hold a steady pace

Not join a race into the sun

The breakneck speed, intense, bucolic

As hearts and minds collide undone

The passing tide is rising fast

And waves approach full with intent

Then with a blow havoc rent

No life has truly ended

Time will soon make three from two

Creating love from hearts unbent

Nightmare

Nightmare

The light is gone and hid from view

It disappeared one day

And took with it the sun and moon

‘Caused joy to pass away

A glimmer is all ‘twould take

To make the world okay

But now our life blood spills away

And we wait in nightless day

We’ll feast on the returning

Step once more, into the fray

Until that day, we shall march forth

Keeping the nightmares at bay

Hidden Key

Hidden Key

While we see The floating gossamer dreams elude and move away

They keep at bay From fairy dreams and flying free they change the mood

I must conclude That night will stop the endless day and sand will stop the sea

I now can see By waking dreams we all are wooed then time will pass away

If we stay Our passion’s freedom is the key to life pursued

And being shrewd It lights the path to show the way and shows to us the key

Defiance

Defiance

A brief blast of breeze

Crushes clay to dust

Daring Death to

Extend ennui

Forever

Tether

It's a plain dreary rain
I watch from my window pane
It's time for moving on
But I'm stuck here with the pain
Time is fleetly flying
And patience has me sighing
I've waited here so long
Just knowing this and crying
You left me here forever
My heart about to sever
My life is barren, I withdrawal
I've lost my only tether

Some Scraps of Poems

From now on I need to steel myself from the darkness,
My hard choices need to come swiftly now
One follow another in rapid succession
Time has come to rise to the action and make bold statements
Not always the popular decisions to bear the burdens
A life of single blessedness is a cursed choice
What is necessary is right in God's eye and mine

Staring through crisscrossed eyelashes

Looking for courage in diminutive frames

Time will come soon enough

When light explodes through shattered seconds

Experience the feeling of fractured repose

My Past

My past

A dark corridor

Is where eternity lies

Wrought with sorrow

Pain and Sighs,

You bright up my life in

Like the sun in mid June

Like the sky fills the moon

An illusion of an oasis

You go and disappear

The sorrow in my ribs

Again begins to sear

I guess I’ll never know

The treasure I have found

Until it disappears,

Without trace or sound

The light up ahead

Will guide me home

Never again shall I forget

Where I‘ve come from
