Sailor's Prayer

Needs must as needs outweigh

Carry the burden, seize the day

In darkest night or calmest bay

The ship is steady, it leads the way

Coming home in the misty spray

As morning breaks, the sailors pray

Home, at last, this time to stay

True Love

Broken glass
Comes to mind
When your eyes
Meet me in mine
Your hurtful words
Sharp and deadly
Your woeful lie
Clear as glass
I'm picking up pieces
Better left behind
I'm waiting for you
True love is blind

Rampage Unbridled

Remaining just out of reach

Longing

No longer a requirement

But a burning raging fire

It feeds itself, growing

It no longer can be controlled

Who would want to stop this inferno?

Let it burn everything to the ground 

Rampage unbridled

Consummation

When the time comes

The banquet will be ready

Feasting will begin

Fresh fruit of the vine

Cherries bursting with ripeness

The cup will runneth over

Needs will be fulfilled

Moonlight will rise over the meadow

Triggering hidden wisdom

Fruits of labor

Gladly consumed

Alone again naturally

Away my dearest
I can not see
The night is almost gone
If it is not seen
It does not exist
Or so I'm lead to believe
So if I do not
Watch you depart
You'll still be here with me
The rising sun
Reveals the truth
Alone again naturally

Shaharazad

Sliding down my skin

Soft satiny sensual

A mirage of images crosses my mind

Hints of moisture

Dampen my brow

A glistening drop

Makes its way to the floor

I can trace its path across my cheek

Scent overwhelms me

Memories from a thousand nights

The end is drawing near

Till the Universe Stops Breathing

Refreshing sounds call me home

A voice that echoes true

No matter what life throws my way

I still come home to you

Hope when days seems grim

Conscious never falters

A solid rock, firm under ground

Love that never alters

Till the universe stops breathing

Hearts will beat in time

Till the universe stops breathing

I love that you are mine

The Other Path...

Blue so deep it bends toward infinity

Purple so dark it ceases to be

Edge of light creeps towards the horizon

Tomorrow comes with certainty

Crickets begin their nightly chorus

A decide chill fills the air

With rising hopes but shattered spirit

Quiet night fills the solemn forest

Tread wisely here, take your time

It’s a hazardous path you choose

The benefits outweigh the cost

You’re time has come to shine

Found Wanting...

Going against the tide

The rush of pushing

The wrong way

Turning left instead of right

It feels so nice

To be the odd duck

The marvel of the moment

Loneliness doesn’t seem

To hurt as much

Stillness seems customary

Sorrow appears welcome

I see you there

Your Lying smile

Your knowing eyes

Have been weighed

Have been measured

Have met their match

Language Buzz

Today I'm feeling the Language buzz.  I was thinking about words that have dual meanings that are contradictory.  The two that came to mind are awful and pitiful.  Both are most commonly thought of as negative words.  The movie was awful.  That excuse was pitiful.  But fascinatingly enough, they didn't start out that way.  The original usage was a more positive one. The vista's view was awful.  The woman's life view was pitiful.  These sound strange to us now.  But at one time they would have been common place.  This is what makes language so fascinating.  You can change one word and make a world of difference.  The nuance of shading in language is amazing if you know what to look for.  One little change can make a little valley into a restricted gorge.  The meanings are the same.  The shade of meaning is different.  In American English, we even give words negative or positive meaning based on sounds.  Harsh sounding words tend to be negative, like gorge.  Soft sounding words tend to be positive like, lullaby.  Now by no means are these rules!  In American English, we have no rules!  Someone even pointed out that the vowel rule ( i before e except after c) is wrong more often then it is right.  But these guidelines give us a baseline to work from.  I find all these language histories and tidbits fascinating.  I think in weird patterns, probably why I had trouble in school, but it makes learning all these odd non rule patterns fun.

BTW I do not have any degree in this.  This is just my ramblings.  NOT YOUR PROFESSOR
