Inner Peace
Midnight passes like a silent maiden
on her way to the next moon-rise.
Enchanted by fragrant memories awakened,
the spark returns from darker times.
If sorrow was the window pane
and regret, the tempered glass,
the curtains cover the cold and rain
awaiting the peace lost in the past.
Fair maiden , if you smile now,
in what good thoughts do thee...
keep in your heart to warm your soul?
This from you I need.
I look to feel my fathers wisdom
when I worry endlessly.
A cure for all that ails is waiting
my courage to...
on her way to the next moon-rise.
Enchanted by fragrant memories awakened,
the spark returns from darker times.

Blades and Bullets
If I only had one more minute
to save you ,
I would stake my claim.
If only I could have given
a promise,
I would steal your pain.
It's always after, and never before.
The note left behind
tells nothing more.
If I only could have hidden the trigger
that ultimately,
took the better of you.
Now we're left with something bigger
heartbreaking.
How could you be so cruel?
One more minute might have saved your life.
If I only had a chance to be inside.
Inside the fear of complexity, hardened,
The words might have...

Ambition to Fly
The enchantment between us has never subsided.
A curiosity evolved. I've never denied it.
Time knows no boundary when we're wrapped in each other.
Where do we take it now?
How does the reasoning gently heard from the past
invade upon space when no one has asked?
Why would you question yourself just to wonder...
Where did we take it before?
Locks made of chains become heavy with age
when you dwell on issues born from childish games.
Set yourself free because today it is me...
Where do we take it tomorrow?
In the...

Life
This one is from 2007
The depth of any weary soul
is often, never really told.
The real man will sacrifice
with little praise throughout his life.
The peace sought more from sleep, remains,
the smallest increment of change.
The busy man wont want to rest.
The lazy man wont want to sweat.
The intrigue of attention, blooms
like fireworks inside the mind.
Man cannot resist the smile
from short-skirt shells, as they walk by.
The trouble with life lived in haste
is that the man can't slow it down.

What do you believe?
It is just human nature to wonder why....
Why would someone not believe in "God?
If I don't believe in "God" does that mean I am wrong?
Does it mean my life is meaningless and without purpose?
You might think so.
I live by the rules of my own invisible hand-book.
I have the understanding that my views on life might be shared by the "few"
instead of the "many".
I prefer to reflect upon my wrongdoings alone
rather than in the company of a congregation.
I know that just because you may go to church,
it...

Together
Vibrant golden hues , pronounced
glistening in the summer sun.
Lucious locks flowing off your shoulders
untamed, in motion, a little older..
than the young and speedy types-
A beach babe bod
ooh la la I like...
Wonder what cloud you came down on?
Wonder if it took you long...
To know that way a man should look
in interest, but not in lust?
To know that confident way to talk
curious , but not too much?
Magnetism , a scented mind-
drawing me in just enough, you know
Invitation with a glass of wine.
Long lasting...
glistening in the summer sun.
Lucious locks flowing off your shoulders
untamed, in motion, a little older..

Your Touch
A light comes on
Heartbeat rises
Racing thoughts
how to fight this....
Motivation conceals the risk
the pressure from your touch -
your lips-
Art on canvas- here, alive
You make the human form
abide
by all the eyes that see perfection-
All I want is your big
erection
No inch of flesh will be ignored
I have what you have waited for
You need not say a thing, my love
Paradise is in your touch
Heartbeat rises
Racing thoughts
how to fight this....
Motivation conceals the risk
the pressure from your touch -
your lips-
Art on canvas- here, alive
You make the human form
abide
by all the eyes that see perfection-
All I want is your big
erection
No inch of flesh will be ignored
I have what you have waited for
You need not say a thing, my love
Paradise is in your touch

Recover
Someday you will shine like a star
in the eyes of the angels that have touched your heart.
Broken and searching for the way to heal,
all comes in good time
new signs
you'll feel.
Drift afar from the habit that brought you here,
dear girl.
This is a beginning.
Your calling is waiting and you could be near
the world
where most are giving:
their time
their voice
their strength and hope.
You are surrounded by others that know.
Dedicating to a cause is never part time.
Your fear of change will never subside....

In-Laws
Escape from the critical eyes that focus all on you,
with nothing better than to emphasize an imaginary truth.
They put you up on stage to get a better view.
When you find a resting place, they begin to come unglued.
Take on their heartless diluted lies
and call them on their game.
When your challenge finds them all tongue tied
they will hide their heads in shame.
Putting on a phony face, gets old, even for them.
You get blamed and all they say is:
"You should try again"
They confide their ridicule of your being
in...
with nothing better than to emphasize an imaginary truth.

Give
Give in
Give out
Keep sparkling
Talk out loud
Tell the world that you own it
and it owns you
Youre committed to dreams
that keep knocking on the door
Not a day should pass
without learning something more...
about life
and kindness
and selflessness
Absorb into the complicated mind
but dont go so far as to assume an outcome
Let yourself flow
and share what you know ...
with a child that needs the influence of a positive guide
Give in
Give out
Give of yourself
...

Mother
This woman was troubled throughout her life.
She went to school and married young
but the connection wasn't right.
There was a child, I was told.
He didn't live past his birth.
She never said his name,
or of him, another word.
She found an interested man
that enjoyed much younger women.
The dollar signs glowed in her mind
and so she had to have him.
A daughter soon was born
and the union now was three.
The new man was a happy soul
with his family.
Soon this man would pass away
leaving the daughter and mother...

You Are
You are...
Sensual, with the words you've chosen
Mysterious, but not shy, I would say
Curious, from a distance unmeasured
Educated in a worldly way
You are...
Uneven, but steady in thought
Perverted, in a beautiful dream
Sexual, in the earliest hours
Rational, about everything
You are...
Decisive, with an optional, maybe
Fearless, because you know yourself well
Realistic when you press a pen to a paper
Imaginative about things you don't tell
You are...
Interesting,
as the door opens wider
A jungle of years...
