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

Occupying Space

What would we do

If we obtained our hearts desire?

Would we stop striving

Live in complacency?

For without our dreams

We are simply carbon atoms

Occupying space

Till we return to sand

Perhaps the worst thing

Is to obtain perfection

For in gaining what we seek

We destroy all that we are

Wild Winds

Wild is the wind that whips the shore

And Beats the beach and sand

Rolling the riptide rises

The seas ever steady lure

It calls us to leave the land

Forces us to make compromises

Then returns us nary a favor

No matter how we command

We always know where the truth lies

Although the ocean is ours to savor

We fathom what it symbolizes

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.

A Bargain Struck *(An adventure in Sonnets)

From whence doth come thy golden orbs

Which heaven hath no equal parts?

Some piece Diana did absorb

To sway thy stalwart warrior’s heart

Come Solider take this maiden’s hand

A voyage must be undertaken

For thee the Angel’s tears do turn to sand

All others must be forsaken

But what of carnal pleasures biding?

Tomorrow’s troubles sorrow and lament

The housewife screams and bellows chiding

He begs forgiveness, his heart full rent

A bargain struck, A contract made

A willing partner, An even trade

Poems

Pieces

A broken shell

Lies in the sand

A thousand feet pass by it

A million waves crash around it

The sun beats down upon it

It waits patiently for something

But no one wants

A disconnected piece

A reminder of the past

And still it lies

Images

Wanting something more

A wanton pleasure waiting,

Weathering every storm

Together.

Tomorrow waits for no one

As a team, we trade and transcend.

Pleasure pacifies people.

As we pretend to be
