CHERRY BLOSSOMS
The cherry blossoms bloomed
Last week, when I was away
And upon returning,
I found my town bathed in their sweet scent
Cherry blossoms remind me of spring
And they reminds me of you
Sweet and rosy and wrapping and twisting around me
The cherry blossoms returned to me
Will you?
Last week, when I was away
And upon returning,
I found my town bathed in their sweet scent
Cherry blossoms remind me of spring
And they reminds me of you
Sweet and rosy and wrapping and twisting around me
The cherry blossoms returned to me
Will you?

she's above all of that
every poem has a poet, and every poet a muse
I am the poet , my wife is my muse
her love isn't like this or that
it has been written so many way
your lover is like every breath you take
comparing her to works of art
no master painter could capture my loves beauty
no sculpture could mold a peace of clay so elegantly
the sharpest chisel in a craftsman's hand
could ever capture my love amazing essence
compare all yours love to what want
for my muse she is a perfect gift from above
so feel free to elevate yours, so liken your muse to mine

Spiritual Changes
Speaking with spirits.
Constantly searching for more.
Question our life path.
Knowing the veil is thinning.
Our souls are all connected.

Remains Of The Day
Soft amber glow as the fireplace crackles
three hungry children, a crop in the field
spirit dragged down by poverty’s shackles
fingers worked to the bone, skin cracked and peeled
Galvanized steel tub, warm and inviting
a dirty dress in town, folks laugh and scoff
the old man is drunk, tired of the fighting
sleepless nights from a racking coal dust cough
Wisps of steam drift and the feel of the sponge
sweat on her face hides the ocular drips
such a beautiful face covered in grunge
she’s tired of heavy loads and aching hips
Rose soap on the step, sweet heavenly scent
they can’t make ends meet on such meagre pay
alone in her world, she soaks and feels spent
but leaves in the tub remains of the day
three hungry children, a crop in the field
spirit dragged down by poverty’s shackles
fingers worked to the bone, skin cracked and peeled
Galvanized steel tub, warm and inviting
a dirty dress in town, folks laugh and scoff
the old man is drunk, tired of the fighting
sleepless nights from a racking coal dust cough
Wisps of steam drift and the feel of the sponge
sweat on her face hides the ocular drips
such a beautiful face covered in grunge
she’s tired of heavy loads and aching hips
Rose soap on the step, sweet heavenly scent
they can’t make ends meet on such meagre pay
alone in her world, she soaks and feels spent
but leaves in the tub remains of the day
