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
Passion Burns Eternal
My passion burns eternal
holding strong to every branch
shaking as I helplessly watch
you leaving out my way
Your heat it was demanding
exciting to my fading flame
ignighting feelings where gentle
winds would dare blow
Your sparks were undivided
breathing in through my every thought
your fire has long been smoldered
the wild smoke has gone astray
But I know . . .
Love will rise again from the ashes
a naked soul will soon fly free
tomorrow will bring us freedom
and happiness will be
holding strong to every branch
shaking as I helplessly watch
you leaving out my way
Your heat it was demanding
exciting to my fading flame
ignighting feelings where gentle
winds would dare blow
Your sparks were undivided
breathing in through my every thought
your fire has long been smoldered
the wild smoke has gone astray
But I know . . .
Love will rise again from the ashes
a naked soul will soon fly free
tomorrow will bring us freedom
and happiness will be

Bloom For Me
Through wafts of lavender letting go
meander past pain felt holes
reminders grip to a wilted rose
where thorns once held a home
Bloom for me and on painted petals grow
bloom for me and into my recesses forever flow
etch sunshine across days of diluted doubt
bring hope and meaning to an enamored soul
Circle around a single soiled grain of me
floating on a fleeting breeze of air
seen only in the lathing light of you
and brush gently upon a hand of care
Bloom for me and in turn
I'll bloom for you
meander past pain felt holes
reminders grip to a wilted rose
where thorns once held a home
Bloom for me and on painted petals grow
bloom for me and into my recesses forever flow
etch sunshine across days of diluted doubt
bring hope and meaning to an enamored soul
Circle around a single soiled grain of me
floating on a fleeting breeze of air
seen only in the lathing light of you
and brush gently upon a hand of care
Bloom for me and in turn
I'll bloom for you

Where Life Basks
Tender wraps the morning
as my sunshine lays her claim
bent green grass and daisies
all her glory calls my name
Simple walks, her beauty talks
I wander bout her home
hanging boughs they do arouse
my feelings rarely shown
Beat my heart a thousand beats
let my fingers brush your cheek
hold me in your loving arms
as I climb your mountain peaks
Ne'er light nor dark shall ever mask
Grandeur where life truly basks
as my sunshine lays her claim
bent green grass and daisies
all her glory calls my name
Simple walks, her beauty talks
I wander bout her home
hanging boughs they do arouse
my feelings rarely shown
Beat my heart a thousand beats
let my fingers brush your cheek
hold me in your loving arms
as I climb your mountain peaks
Ne'er light nor dark shall ever mask
Grandeur where life truly basks

Far Away Rain
Subtle thoughts of yesterday rumble
in every dancing bolt of energy
across a sacrificial sky
Tepid droplets of moisture awaken
senses once lost and lonely
seeking to breathe another day
Thunder rings out loudly
(or is that your heart?)
calling out my name
Water falling down gentle
eyes and hands wide open
catching every part of you
in every dancing bolt of energy
across a sacrificial sky
Tepid droplets of moisture awaken
senses once lost and lonely
seeking to breathe another day
Thunder rings out loudly
(or is that your heart?)
calling out my name
Water falling down gentle
eyes and hands wide open
catching every part of you

With Wings
Clair de Lune filters
with wings
through graceful waves of air
in every raindrop ping
creating our symphony
spin me a room
weave me a rainbow
be my shining diamond
always holding me near
play me, persuade me
Emerge in the window to my heart
holding strong same beliefs
pulling pirouetted dreams
a duet of two
roses blooming
spin me a picture
paint me a vivid view
raise me from rags to riches
never throw me away
lift me, kiss me ...

Winds Of Change
Along with a frigid steady rain
a howling wind muscles in
pushing and shoving
crashing and tearing apart
what was peaceful
what was full of beauty
full of life to a halt
grasses go dormant
tiger lilies and roses are veiled
the skies are a little darker
and the once mighty oak seems frail
The changing of the seasons
The changing of the guard
days once soft and sensual
are turning from soft to hard
time will pass as so will this
nature will run her course
the wicked will wilt under pressure
and the...

My Side Of The Moon
Slide on over to my side of the moon
where breathless breaths care to undress
stardust buried in lonely nights a calling
the steady glow of my hungry soul to guide
Shine amid these lunar pools of wonder
bathe along with the firefly in pure delight
slow dance freely to the pull of my heart
where romantic nights dare to start
Slide on over to my side of the moon
come close and keep me warm tonight
take a stroll under a little slice of heaven
begging you to emerge and hold me tight
where breathless breaths care to undress
stardust buried in lonely nights a calling
the steady glow of my hungry soul to guide
Shine amid these lunar pools of wonder
bathe along with the firefly in pure delight
slow dance freely to the pull of my heart
where romantic nights dare to start
Slide on over to my side of the moon
come close and keep me warm tonight
take a stroll under a little slice of heaven
begging you to emerge and hold me tight

The Wind Blows
. . and the wind blows
pushing the blue bird
higher farther
past raindrops and darkened clouds
into a valley of golden sun where
rainbows dance in her dulcet eyes
where worries wander away
and new days are hatched
. . . and the wind whips
clearing out the old
preparing for the new
mixing the earthen mulch
from a fallen past into
an unmade bed of fertile ground
A morning mist fills the meadow
dew drips off the first...

A Feather Floats
Light falls amongst light not a shadow's might
blown past the day but with tepid winds
graceful as a feather floats
down in silence
beheld nearer a beauty rests
before bent visions
held in check from a sultry sea
breaking where fragrance parts
It dwells in storied touch
lain across ancient ways but
still held taught
when sumptuous lips unite
and stagnant thoughts float free
as if the feather in the wind
was one again
with me
blown past the day but with tepid winds
graceful as a feather floats
down in silence
beheld nearer a beauty rests
before bent visions
held in check from a sultry sea
breaking where fragrance parts
It dwells in storied touch
lain across ancient ways but
still held taught
when sumptuous lips unite
and stagnant thoughts float free
as if the feather in the wind
was one again
with me

Whispers In The Morning
Whispers in the morning
trying to find your way
listen to the bluebird
and what she has to say
The notes are soft and gentle
every one is played for you
the sounds of sweet ambrosia
her feelings ringing true
On painted limbs of sage brush
there's a stillness in the air
love beads are melting
and the bluebird disappear
Whispers in the morning
what once was there is gone
empty is the meadow
off has flown her song
trying to find your way
listen to the bluebird
and what she has to say
The notes are soft and gentle
every one is played for you
the sounds of sweet ambrosia
her feelings ringing true
On painted limbs of sage brush
there's a stillness in the air
love beads are melting
and the bluebird disappear
Whispers in the morning
what once was there is gone
empty is the meadow
off has flown her song

Don't Kiss Me
Don't kiss me
I don't want to feel again
Don't want me
My heart won't beat again
Those eyes they speak in playful tongues
Those lips crave to be forever young
That neck just waits so patiently
That skin keeps on calling me
The river flows strong after the rain
But soon it will all be dried up again
Hold true to your passionate ways
And with the wind you'll find better days
I don't want to feel again
Don't want me
My heart won't beat again
Those eyes they speak in playful tongues
Those lips crave to be forever young
That neck just waits so patiently
That skin keeps on calling me
The river flows strong after the rain
But soon it will all be dried up again
Hold true to your passionate ways
And with the wind you'll find better days
