POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come
Never Forgotten
Cottonwood snowcaps blowing in the breeze
fluffs of white flutter, filling a distant history
closed eyes filter out tiny drops of salted sea
Time, lost along with another passing season
misted moments mixed with lavender essence
dropped down in a canyon of heartfelt misery
A fervent haze rises across the baked horizon
burning deep visions of succulent lips waiting
on honey dipped words to melt frozen moments
-never forgotten
fluffs of white flutter, filling a distant history
closed eyes filter out tiny drops of salted sea
Time, lost along with another passing season
misted moments mixed with lavender essence
dropped down in a canyon of heartfelt misery
A fervent haze rises across the baked horizon
burning deep visions of succulent lips waiting
on honey dipped words to melt frozen moments
-never forgotten

Dreams Fade
When the dreams fade away and
tomorrow becomes just another day"
Tomorrow's wishes blowing slowly back in
grasping frantically onto a worry free mind
trapped in time with Saturday's matinee
living out a faded black and white dream
Darkness slips the edge of night
shivers grab rough and take hold
motionless emotionless stares scare
and weary legs can never run away
Screams shrill from the morning sun
the light of another day awakened
tremors subside the shutters blind
broken pieces gathered and shined
tomorrow becomes just another day"
Tomorrow's wishes blowing slowly back in
grasping frantically onto a worry free mind
trapped in time with Saturday's matinee
living out a faded black and white dream
Darkness slips the edge of night
shivers grab rough and take hold
motionless emotionless stares scare
and weary legs can never run away
Screams shrill from the morning sun
the light of another day awakened
tremors subside the shutters blind
broken pieces gathered and shined

A Secret Message
A solemn scent of brioche scrapes along
waking eyes and my freedom comes alive
morning songs of the sandpiper float around
as I revel in secrets that light the glowing sun
Irreplaceable memories dive deep and I struggle
for breath to speak of past promises longing to
forget clouded nights pestered by petrichor pains
letting star-kissed memories disappear in the wind
Stretches and a friendly hello gather me back in
cappuccino fragments filter through the cracks
parchment paper visions elope with wistful daydreams
dancing...

Petal Of Life
Drifts
amidst the seashore
floating
a cherished memory
Crumbled and close
in creased palms
crimson silk
on weathered cheeks
Scents
of everlasting
reaching out and
coming back to get me
Petals
life holding on
a heartbeat
you're a part of me
amidst the seashore
floating
a cherished memory
Crumbled and close
in creased palms
crimson silk
on weathered cheeks
Scents
of everlasting
reaching out and
coming back to get me
Petals
life holding on
a heartbeat
you're a part of me

Ice
Four corners conceal a flawless attraction
white waters flow at the base of perfection
standing in reflected pools quenching thirst
sparkling heated moments about to burst
inscribed fragments ignite
comfort cooling down
everlasting delight
Chilled thoughts in a summertime breeze
cloudless whispers soaking in the peace
sucking down pleasure carry me home
mixed moments of effervescence roam
--swaying a sunny day away
white waters flow at the base of perfection
standing in reflected pools quenching thirst
sparkling heated moments about to burst
inscribed fragments ignite
comfort cooling down
everlasting delight
Chilled thoughts in a summertime breeze
cloudless whispers soaking in the peace
sucking down pleasure carry me home
mixed moments of effervescence roam
--swaying a sunny day away

Monochrome Memories
Monochrome memories blocked out by the sun
no clear-cut distinction of day or night
faded silhouettes dance across the zenith
of an old black and white
Monochrome memories set me free
release to me her rainbow colored dreams
brighten horizons and blend perceptions
of a painted picturesque scene
Bring to life her luster in a bright
orange-marmalade moon
Let me feel her warmth in a soft
opalescent yellow hue
Carry me through wondrous fields of tall
brown and green flowing grasses
Show me her passion in...
no clear-cut distinction of day or night

orange-marmalade moon
Let me feel her warmth in a soft
opalescent yellow hue
Carry me through wondrous fields of tall

drenched
drenched in sepia
beneath rings of spilt ale
memories won't fade

Hardened
Wind weathered dream severed
eyes hollow stare blankly out
rough seas washed away hopes
hardened hearts die
fragile souls cry
hastily built walls
stones tumble
broken in a blackened sky
masses filter the catacombs
steeple's raise notice
dropping down
suddenly lost
eyes hollow stare blankly out
rough seas washed away hopes
hardened hearts die
fragile souls cry
hastily built walls
stones tumble
broken in a blackened sky
masses filter the catacombs
steeple's raise notice
dropping down
suddenly lost

The Sweetness Of You
Sweetness pours out across her aching lips
a dripping delight under candied apple eyes
motionless with the mulberry tree in wonderment
as the dainty honey bee dances with delight
Closed eyes and daytime wishes overcome
shy visions slipping out of shadow's view
hushed breaths drawn a dewdrop melody
heartbeats begging for a tiny sip of you
Shifting emotions impossible to hold abreast
a festal procession leading forth proposition
slowly inhaling simple beauty left in pause
light breaks her attention and a smile dawns
a dripping delight under candied apple eyes
motionless with the mulberry tree in wonderment
as the dainty honey bee dances with delight
Closed eyes and daytime wishes overcome
shy visions slipping out of shadow's view
hushed breaths drawn a dewdrop melody
heartbeats begging for a tiny sip of you
Shifting emotions impossible to hold abreast
a festal procession leading forth proposition
slowly inhaling simple beauty left in pause
light breaks her attention and a smile dawns

Kiss Me
Kiss me softly in the rain
(oh so longingly) Kiss Me
moist moments melt
still hearts flutter
skip,
splash,
sputter
romance washed together
by chance
once more
brush your wetness
upon my blushed cheek
close your eyes
and
just Kiss Me
. . . . . before I say goodbye
(oh so longingly) Kiss Me
moist moments melt
still hearts flutter
skip,
splash,
sputter
romance washed together
by chance
once more
brush your wetness
upon my blushed cheek
close your eyes
and
just Kiss Me
. . . . . before I say goodbye

The Road To Righteous
The road to righteous albeit rocky
each bump pulls a mighty toll
the hills stand steep but majestic
I ride unknowing whence I go
Night nearer still beseech my way
moon comfort me in thou bosom
bloom satin rays of great acquaintance
nudging me off a sumptuous way
Kiss off thy breeze to Compostela
deepen ill looks upon mine eye
fill vacancy amongst spiritual relation
star-bright descend low where I lie
each bump pulls a mighty toll
the hills stand steep but majestic
I ride unknowing whence I go
Night nearer still beseech my way
moon comfort me in thou bosom
bloom satin rays of great acquaintance
nudging me off a sumptuous way
Kiss off thy breeze to Compostela
deepen ill looks upon mine eye
fill vacancy amongst spiritual relation
star-bright descend low where I lie

Brave : Gravity
Petals:
pristine~pure desire floats
lullabies roam~aspheric notes
touches reached out of scope
Brave:
gravity glides on outstretched wings
willow~weeping rain drenched bows
blanket of balance a presence bestows
Tight:
comfort held in passion's show
lightening a starless~sterile sight
sacred~secrets whispered overnight
Dawn:
feelings warmed on nature's chest
dew drops glisten upon peril's view
rhythmic~swirls arise affectless anew
pristine~pure desire floats
lullabies roam~aspheric notes
touches reached out of scope
Brave:
gravity glides on outstretched wings
willow~weeping rain drenched bows
blanket of balance a presence bestows
Tight:
comfort held in passion's show
lightening a starless~sterile sight
sacred~secrets whispered overnight
Dawn:
feelings warmed on nature's chest
dew drops glisten upon peril's view
rhythmic~swirls arise affectless anew
