In Passing
You fill me till I can take no more and with loving care.
Hungrily I've drawn this in and all you have prepared.
But my love we must part ways for I now must surely go.
At journeys end alone I'll be please do not follow.
Deep within I feel an urge I surrender to my need.
And grows with every step I take and builds with running speed.
Throw open wide a prison cell my sentence almost late.
Sealed from an outside world and exposed to know my fate.
Doomed to loose what once was mine a foul and bitter dish.
Depart from me is my silent prayer where...

Evening News
Vulgar has the world become as it grows colder every day.
What vignette kindness has become aside it's pushed away.
Hope's vacancy is the vantage for desperation and for rage.
As anger has shed it's thin veneer to usher in this age.
Are elected leaders are vicars of this religion filled with hate
May they reap what they have sown I fear will be too late.
The violation of good and beauty still vying for a place.
A vow of judgment is to see the look upon their face.
What vignette kindness has become aside it's pushed away.

The violation of good and beauty still vying for a place.

The Friend I Never Knew
A persons life is measured in years or achievements
Some in possessed personal things,
But the true mark of anyone’s time on this world
Is the help and happiness his memory brings.
Though brief and seldom my experience was
Still an impression he left on me,
For I witnessed true courage, the kind I’ve only heard of
And few will ever see.
The pain his family and friends must feel
For a loss like this is great,
But I feel blessed to be near even at this sad time
The need was more for me than fate.
Before I arrived I was preoccupied ...
Some in possessed personal things,
But the true mark of anyone’s time on this world
Is the help and happiness his memory brings.
Though brief and seldom my experience was
Still an impression he left on me,
For I witnessed true courage, the kind I’ve only heard of
And few will ever see.
The pain his family and friends must feel
For a loss like this is great,
But I feel blessed to be near even at this sad time
The need was more for me than fate.
Before I arrived I was preoccupied ...

Day Surrendering Unto Night
Caring not what lies far below,
Only what is to come and what will follow.
I shudder at your sensuous caress.
And abandon my will and my very essence,
Still I turn not from your piercing gaze,
But instead allow all to be displayed.
Wishing for the touch of your hand,
Knowing only you can understand.
I am lost when you are not around,
Back to with you is how I am found.
Before the ebbing moment comes,
Then embrace our desire to blossom.
Our passion casts a glow so bright,
And softly fades as amber light.
And when our time...
Only what is to come and what will follow.
I shudder at your sensuous caress.
And abandon my will and my very essence,
Still I turn not from your piercing gaze,
But instead allow all to be displayed.
Wishing for the touch of your hand,
Knowing only you can understand.
I am lost when you are not around,
Back to with you is how I am found.
Before the ebbing moment comes,
Then embrace our desire to blossom.
Our passion casts a glow so bright,
And softly fades as amber light.
And when our time...

Ageless
Twas the greed of a wizard and evils black hold.
That conjured the demon’s to gather pure gold.
Beyond the dark kingdom to distant places on earth.
Their treasures were plundered such things of great worth.
On the end of all roads where they meet and divide.
Three fates had been joined whose wish was to hide.
Against the evening and cold they sat by the fire.
And like the charred wood souls burned with desire.
One breached silence gulf by a tragic confession.
Robbed was his fleshed spirit replaced by obsession.
“In those years I was young...

Dreams Come True
Gone I became, from a world who’s heart
Was as hardened as a cold stone.
Taking little with me, as I make my way
On a journey I did travel alone.
Farewell I bid, and in a secret way
To those I will see no more.
Believing better ahead, I leave for a place
I have only dreamed of before.
I am both rich and poor, talented and dumb
All borne from a strangers glance.
Against a jury of my peers, away I now go
Choosing to leave is my final stance.
Forged by desperation, and shaped by desire
I honed my souls want until…
A moment is...

I have only dreamed of before.
I am both rich and poor, talented and dumb

Choosing to leave is my final stance.
Forged by desperation, and shaped by desire

Class For Rent
Vultures watch the nest egg,
and times passing.
From an angel of death and an angel of sorrows,
a calling to go into the light.
To what purpose may it be?
A rest from toil or a rest from debt.
A curious love,
but for whom.

Tooth Fairies Last Night
Before the darkness of the sky grows light
And things in shadows come into sight.
Under your pillow you’ll see.
And for a second think of me.
And feel what I am feeling this last night.
A sprinkle of magic and money so small.
I have come because of your special call.
But your last gift of growing.
And your replacing dreams for knowing.
You can’t help it your older and that is all.
Oh small and beautiful one as you.
To see all things around as new.
The true world is not what it may seem.
Sadly its magic will disappear...
And things in shadows come into sight.
Under your pillow you’ll see.
And for a second think of me.
And feel what I am feeling this last night.

But your last gift of growing.
And your replacing dreams for knowing.

Oh small and beautiful one as you.

Between S And N Is I
The corners you now cower in I know them all too well.
Tis there I wait and have so since the moment when I fell.
Idle hands count not the cost there squandered priceless time.
Then in your lost and desperate way together we’ll find mine.
I am the thought you’ve keep forgiven upon each times return.
Foolishly the lesson’s lost, doomed till once again it’s learned.
Common senses different breed morphs wrong till seeming rite.
Rulers followed in my steps my shadow passed for light.
Hostage by there wants and needs and tumid bound desire.
Till vises...

A Dog and Cat Tale
When castle kings ruled the land they did so with great care.
For they knew of magic’s power existing everywhere.
One such kingdom lay far away in the land of Cat.
Next to Dog a mongrel place this is where it sat.
Between the two battles waged for reasons no one knew.
Robbing peace for everyone as their skirmish grew.
Along one day a wizard came offering a chance for peace.
He never told of his plan on how the wars would cease.
A gift he promised to each its people should they take the deal.
A cursed cast spell was the truth this too late he would...

Shipmates
Was the schooner Sandpiper that I had once served
And she once was a seamstress of silk I dared overheard.
Between crew and passenger a segregation was made
Like a savant in her presence away I won't stay.
She broke the symmetry between sheave, pulley and rope.
She was a spartan of comfort and a reason to hope.
I filled my sketchbook her likeness she posed for each line.
To this day I remember my youth and that magical time.
And she once was a seamstress of silk I dared overheard.

Quick
With my rattan cane
I struck the rebel
who dared to ransack my home.
Fatal was the wound
as a rivulet of blood
hid not the break of bone.
In his rucksack I found
jerky of beef
ripen fruit and a loaf of rye.
Clenching my rosary
reciting a rhapsody of redemption
twas I that did not die.

twas I that did not die.
