Vertrouwen
Feel you tugging on my inner threads
through the fabric that weaves realities
unravelling all that's been put in place
slow process at first
untangling all the knots and tied ends
Wouldn't know where to start
beautiful enigma that you are
delicately wrapped in a riddle
hidden behind a unique mystery
There is not enough time on the planet
let alone life times in the universe
to truly get to know you
where and how to start
How about now with this intricate dance
of cosmic vibrations
and sacred geometric patterns
the clock stands still at three
Reluctantly bending to your will
slowly at first
brick by brick the ramparts come down
each day relenting a little more
These uneasy feelings soothed
by your tender touch
even when backing away
you patiently wait
till we are ready to continue
move on
through the next barrier
carefully put in place
hiding high in the tower
Just the bare bones left
see you in the minds eye
like seeing a friend that you've known
since the dawn but yet to meet
hear your soft voice calling out in sleep
dream like states
Awake to your kind eyes
loving smile
warm kiss
now you know what lies beneath
through the fabric that weaves realities
unravelling all that's been put in place
slow process at first
untangling all the knots and tied ends
Wouldn't know where to start
beautiful enigma that you are
delicately wrapped in a riddle
hidden behind a unique mystery
There is not enough time on the planet
let alone life times in the universe
to truly get to know you
where and how to start
How about now with this intricate dance
of cosmic vibrations
and sacred geometric patterns
the clock stands still at three
Reluctantly bending to your will
slowly at first
brick by brick the ramparts come down
each day relenting a little more
These uneasy feelings soothed
by your tender touch
even when backing away
you patiently wait
till we are ready to continue
move on
through the next barrier
carefully put in place
hiding high in the tower
Just the bare bones left
see you in the minds eye
like seeing a friend that you've known
since the dawn but yet to meet
hear your soft voice calling out in sleep
dream like states
Awake to your kind eyes
loving smile
warm kiss
now you know what lies beneath

Along the Lea
She came to me
riding atop the scales
of butterfly wings.
Magical dust
clouded my vision
as Elven ways bound me.
She came to be
ethereal,
binding me
spiritually.
Adhering to my heart
where logic once prevailed
I could not escape.
I came to see
amidst the warmth
of her enchantment
her leeward love.
She came to me
on the flight of risk.
Magick and love
chained me in ways
I could only have
imagined.
Along the lea
I prayed a thousand
prayers.
Along with me
she came to care.
Along the lea
we sought
Friendship
and being there
we uncovered
most of our answers. . .

Swept Away
There’s always a love song in what you say;
It’s the way of you that I know so well.
The dance of your eyes, the light in its play,
Clearly a message (for my ears) to tell.
How inclined we are to carry a tune,
There’s always a love song in what you say.
That you can sing to me under the moon,
Embraced in your arms & be swept away.
Just coax us a breeze & please let me stay,
I don’t want to wake or miss what you bring.
There’s always a love song in what you say,
Familiar refrain, a lyrical ring.
The musical notes I hear in my mind,
Are points that I feel you touch, night & day.
I long that my heart leaves nothing behind;
There’s always a love song in what you say.

IF NOT FOR YOU
From my eyes is my deepness and my depth of the reflections of my life as I saw it through my own eyes as a baby given its first day of life even to when I reached manhood to become a man, for through my trails and tribulations came deep lessons I had to learn about real life with its ups and downs even to the turn around of unexpected changes that some how alter the very foundation of my life and world.
For even with the hurt and pain and suffering I had to endure along the crossroads of life I cried many silent tears that went unseen by preying eyes as they fell silently down the cheeks of my face, but yet through each storm I had to face head on in my life that has come and gone through the cycle of what is known as life, I held onto my FAITH in the most highest spiritual soul as he kept me safe from harm as he walked with me through the storms of my lifetime still keeping me strong.

Summer Night's Dance
All was silver and gold that endless summer night
Dancing in fields in the time between times
The sun, moon, the stars in that perfect sky
Clothed in white dresses, borrowed from a friend.
Each dress washed in holy water, then donned
To dance in the vineyards, singing for soulmates
Young men observed unseen, each seeking
Their balanced counterpart, their perfect one
She who would make their soul complete
Mother to his children, helpmeet of his life
Rich girls borrowed dresses from girls with less
Poor girls, garbed in gowns of princesses
Money was no matter, for character’s measure
The singular quality sought on this summer night.
Each man would choose, according to his fancy
Should she deign to accept, then they would marry
Two come to stand under the wedding canopy
Glass would shatter, they leave united as one.
Dancing in fields in the time between times

Clothed in white dresses, borrowed from a friend.

Coffee
I wake up each morning
the day starts a new
I give thanks to the Lord
for this cup of fresh brew
My morning drip coffee
is like an ole friend
it gets my day going
from beginning to end
The first sip is amazing
look forward to the next
been doing it so long
I know just what to expect
Now time for some scripture
to help start my day
I can feel his spirit
and continue to pray
The clouds of my mind
begin to start lifting
Now my spirits in gear
His word is uplifting
call me old fashion
or just call me crazy
after all said and done
I'm fresh as a daisy
I don't over do it
just one cup or two
It helps open my eyes
while reading Gods truths

Play it on your lips
Wear a smile on your face,
Wear a smile all day,
For nothing you wear looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not
so gay
and happiness may well
abound.
And don't you look your best
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all
the while
'To smile without distinction'
be thy motto.:)
When someone creases their
forehead into a frown
You curve your lips upward
into a smile
Don't let their scowl get you
down
They'd be the one to look the
clown
while you show off your
inspiring style.
If people stare 'n' glare at you
Return their glares and stares
with a grinning smile
Keep smiling whether they boo
or pooh pooh
They might just reset their
mental file.
Thus forever flash your
pearlywhites
They aren't meant merely for
chow and bites.
Flash em' into a smile that
lights
A crescent shaped smiley on
the face
explore your own facial
expression delights.:)
A smile is a sign of happiness right under your nose
Smile warmly like the sunshine, like the crescent moon
Even when the icy cold wind of discourtesy blows
Wear a smile all day,
For nothing you wear looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not
so gay
and happiness may well
abound.
And don't you look your best
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all
the while
'To smile without distinction'
be thy motto.:)
When someone creases their
