Dashing (Rondine)

Run your finger along my arm
While on the loveseat we waited
Our love could not be abated
Wanting to raise no alarm
We lowered our level of charm
Keeping others from harm
But our loving fire was unsated
As Moon begin to cry

Tapping your finger in alarm
Into the back room we faded
The nearest room we raided
Almost arriving belated
It seem more than just fated
As we began to slowly warm
Away from the raging storm
As the moon began to cry

Untitled #500

All the world in a summers day
With flowers hastily strewn
Time and daylight appear to play
Hearts seem to feint and swoon
Birds sing a happy tune
Serenading a midday moon
Man and Maid and merriment
As the world resume its proper spin
Love not bought but only lent
A new game now to begin

Untitled 1252

My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon
Together there's nothing we cannot do
My world begins and ends with you
To you I cannot be untrue
For you my heart was hewn
My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon

Falling

The moon begins to fall
The distance I thought so far
It seems was not far at all

Far off a bright shining star,
Beckons a clarion call,
The cry feels so bizarre,

The journey starts with a crawl
Accompanied by guitars
While Moon furthers falls

Untitled #828

My eyes are like unruly hounds
They waver, close, and fall asleep
Encumbered with compassion
And the secrets that they keep
Until the moon grows thin
Until the seas run dry
Until the stars go dim
No inconstant, inconsistent love am I

...But....

Too many nights lay heavy
Burdened with my pain and your lies
I hope you know that I am ready
To carry your secrets and rise

....So....

Until the clock strikes elevens
No need to take it in your head to flee
Lying side by side
The pressure of you against me
I feel your burgeoning love
Laying aside me and mine
No need to move right now
The world itself will be just fine

....Because....

Everything has a beginning
And everything has an end
The middle is sitting right here.
Time and two and twice again
The sky turns blue and gold.
Morning seeks to part this pair
Should the universe achieve this goal
The whole world will find itself stripped bare.

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

Generations

Generations

They go where time does not expire

And wait for no new moon

Winter falls in summer’s swoon

The creeping vine begins to seed

A world explodes in endless fire

Mouths fill with the taste of mead

And liquor turns the stoutest liar

Some obstacles become a boon

If, of our lives, we do take head

We walk all day on tight rope wires

And end up with the greatest wound

So shall we soon change our tune?

We make ourselves fulfill our need

Our grandest wish becomes desire

More will come like endless weeds

Of everything you will tire

It will come full circle soon

And the look will be parent to the deed

The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

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

Instincts

Instincts

Sometimes we all need to bay at the moon

To give into to our animal instincts

We need to fall to our knees and roll in the dirt

Feel the pounding of blood in our veins

Because it’s not always about the meter and rhyme

Sometimes we have to throw caution to the wind

For when we can’t be perfect

You may as well make as big a mess as possible

A little dirt under your nails

Only shows how hard you’ve toiled

Rambling

Straining, reaching, just out of grasp

Looking around but never to touch

The silver shadows stalk my mind

As I lay here, wanting you so much

My mind’s distracted and confused

All my thoughts center on my one true love

I only hope to change my mind

And I will find peace from above

No longer do I seem to care

As the hours while away

Filling time better left alone

With no companions to spend the day

Only stories end happily

Full of love and moon and rhyme

Real life never turns out so well

It simply runs out of rhyme

And all our actions catch up to us

What we live and how we dreamed

Unworthy of paradise

Life was better than what it seemed

Punishment awaits me now

For sins of thought and heart and mind

I should have known to let it go

An earthly heaven I’ve yet to find

Lowly Orb

Oh Shallow moon thou art rife with anger

Your lowly orb hangs free and wild

It draws me, leads me away

I bow before it’s pale pure light

It washes o’re my hair

With strands of cherry wine

Green glades seem filled with ignoble creatures

Darkness fills the burgeoning night

I see the path that lies before me

It radiates from deep within

As long as I do not stray, 

I should see home this very night
