An example to draw inspiration from.
Why does the moon hide?
Kayla
stands next to me,
we stare out there.
We revel in the feel
of softly sprayed
salty-humid-mist
on our faces.
Torturous-thunderous-waves
break in our ears
the warm foot wash
beneath our beached toes
cleanses gently
and she smiles.
Her hand drifts upwards
and comfortably rests in my palm.
No words are spoken,
no voice is heard or raised.
Still we communicate.
I learn,
I hear,
I see all three years
of my daughter's life
revealed before me.
She changes the topic...
"big moon dad"
her innocent voice exclaims
before she settles the score with
"why does it hide,
behind the clouds?
Is it also
scared
of the
SHARKS,
dad?"

Blanket
Rows of tumbling layers
All exact in difference
Lush abundance of vivids
Greens to Golds
Yellows to Oranges
Patchwork styling
Gloriously stitched
Into the earth
Swaying with breezes
Beautiful with seasons
The blanket of a field
Rich with farmer's passion
Grow with vigorous fashion
Granting the eyes
With a cacophony
Of color.

DREAMING! For the man I DESIRE! 22 yrs this Feb
Watch me from a distance as I glide from a glistening stream
smell my intoxicating perfume
see my fragile state
bring with you a Peace that will fall between us
as I sleep I will be dreaming of you
There is a need deep inside of me
Screaming to be filled
Pleading eyes entranced with a sexuality
take me to my fantasy
be a real man please
let passion and lust conquer us
United in our Emotions
feel my provocation of Desires
My Desire is yet to be filled
there could be many takers
I want only your body, heart, and mind my Love
A soft touch from you would even be enough
just one kiss for my lonely lips
my flesh craves just to feel your hands upon it
if it happens I will only be
DREAMING!
Nothing from the one I love is ever returned to me now
I have lost it forever and that is whats real
I wish someone would come along and unveil
my fire,my desires,my lust
someone that can return love back to me
not throw it away on someone that should not matter
some one that is trash
So who wants to unlock the treasure I have
the Passion I possess
I know this is but a fantasy but I can make it real
I awaken and realize I am only
DREAMING!

SUNRISE!
Have you ever seen the sunrise so bright and Beautiful
as I look across the land and see all that God has made
and as I gaze in AWE at his Power,Strength, and Might
and each sunrise that comes is one of a kind
As I sit and look at all his Majesties Wonder
I can not help but to Praise him and simply say Thank you
for all your Blessings and all you do my King,my God
Your the only one that truly loves and accepts me for who I am
always forgiving me my sins
so please fill my heart with Hope
my Marriage with Love
So as I sit and watch the Sunrise please lead me throughout my day and help me be able to make it throughout my Life too survive the hard times,heart breaks, and keep me steady through the trials I face
Grant me the courage to be on my own if it comes to that
cause my whole World has crashed down on me
my true love has abandoned me
with your support help me hold my head up high
put a smile upon my face
a song in my Heart
thankful for each day you provide
too put one foot in front of the other
when I try to be Strong and stand on my own help me never forget you are holding me up
with comfort and Love
I will Praise you My God with every
SUNRISE!!

Landscapes of Escaping Sadness
She whispers follow me before the sun falls deep
Trampling over branches I follow giggling echoes
Out of the woods and into wishing meadows
Her bare feet shuffling through dandelions
Fill the air with angel wings, infinite butterflies
All around me floating timeless
Come to me the queen speaks hiding behind a tree
Erect among the weeds in rugged stillness a lonely tree
Surrounded by breathtaking, never ending beauty
Falling sunlight breaking through gapes between branches
She speaks with red cheeks of a place that reminds her of me
Smiling I take her hand and whisper follow me
The sun has fallen now trailing through darkness
We come among a streaming river lit with falling glitter
Dancing fireflies in the wake of a starry sky
Fingers intertwined I gaze deep into her eyes
And whisper words of a place that reminds me of her
Chirping crickets drowning out the sound of lovers kisses
She whispers follow me before the sun falls deep
Trampling over branches I follow giggling echoes
Out of the woods and into wishing meadows
Her bare feet shuffling through dandelions
Fill the air with angel wings, infinite butterflies
All around me floating timeless
Come to me the queen speaks hiding behind a tree
Erect among the weeds in rugged stillness a lonely tree
Surrounded by breathtaking, never ending beauty
Falling sunlight breaking through gapes between branches
She speaks with red cheeks of a place that reminds her of me
Smiling I take her hand and whisper follow me
The sun has fallen now trailing through darkness
We come among a streaming river lit with falling glitter
Dancing fireflies in the wake of a starry sky
Fingers intertwined I gaze deep into her eyes
And whisper words of a place that reminds me of her
Chirping crickets drowning out the sound of lovers kisses

Dragon, dragon, burning bright
in the dark forest of the night.
What immortal living or dead
could see your wrath,
or hear the music you played!
And what magic stone was placed in your eyes,
to burn so bright, day and night.
What inspired you to dwell,
in the fiery pits of hell?
Who twisted barb-wire around your heart,
to make the flames that you snort,
And when your heart began to bleed,
is that when you grew your black tar wings?
What dread grasp, one last breath,
before you sent your terror upon God's land,
Did your soul scorch at hell's gate?
Did you see the stars fall from heaven's door,
did not all rebel against your burning hell,
you were not the lamb, God had intended to be.

Till death do us part
Yellow was the colour of my love's hair
In the morning when dawn break
lighting us as we lay among the flowers
Under shady leaves drenched with dew
Green canopy was our wedding arch
Gigantic trees looming in benevolence
On the two lovers traipsing up the path
enchanted by the beauty of a quiet forest
White was the bubbles of the creek
as the water flowed quickly and busily
along its pebbly beds to the rivers
We bathed, smiling and laughing as we talked
Blue was the colour of the sky
When we kissed and made love
Caressed with gentle breezy
breath of zephyr from above
Rose tinted was the evening
sky, when we walked hand in hand
to the shack we called our home
furnished prettily with love divine
As we lived on, gracing the years
The ages of being together
Our smiles with love and laughter
became our sky and our earth forever
Green was the grass when you and I
were laid together in eternal rest
Beneath the sod that covered us
Alive we loved till death did us part.
