A melancholy melody
Floats in softly on the breeze
Accompanied by a lone wolf crooning
And the shaking of the trees
Booming thunder is the percussion, whistling water reeds the flutes
There are no words in this private concert
It’s wild to it’s roots.
I take a peek outside my window
And breathe in the summer song
I find peace in the storms chaotic crescendo
We’ve been the same all along

Ivy grows in no set pattern.
Thick tendrils claw at the earth, the trees; blindly they climb whatever’s near.
Upturned leaves reach out
Searching desperately for just a little bit of warmth;
I guess in that way we are the same

Heartbeats in tandem,
A loving release-
For you my dear darling
I’m eager to please
Hands move with purpose
A tender caress
One subtle movement
And you’ve left me a mess
My heart swells with love
As I look in your eyes
And settle into your arms
For another sunrise

Fire crackles as I take my tea
–2 creams 3 sugars
The heavy drops of summer rain
Fall to the parched earth out the window,
A symphony on aged tin roofs
I let out a contented sigh
My movement inspiring a small chitter
My furry companion curls tighter
To The the alabaster skin of my hip
At peace once more.

Ripe feelings fill the balmy air
And ride the summer breeze
They twist and dip and whisper
Throughout the wizened Trees
They paint a vivid picture
Full of memory
Of a once caged heart
Now soaring full and free
They tell their tale with gusto
A sense of hushed pride
They speak softly to the flowers
Of a love that’s undenied.
The flowers tell their flower friends
Then those, they do the same;
Every blooming rose bush
Knew the couples names
They gossiped and they whispered
All chattering with ease
Till the story shuffled off
With a couple bumbling bees
These bees they traveled far away
Telling the tale along their ride
Of loves triumphs and elations-
And soon they heard she’d be his bride
And buzzed “congratulations!”
The couple looked into each other’s eyes that day
And said their loving I dos
While Mother Nature smiled on
Delighted by the news

Lazy mornings on summer days,
Relax! Forget your modern ways!
Stay awhile and chat-
We’ll drink our coffee on the porch
Content as the old house cat.

Instincts rising from the ashes
A long forgotten rage
Boasted proudly long ago
Now seems to fade with age
Through blood and war torn battlegrounds,
A fierce loyalty was wrought-
Because even back then the people knew
Happiness can’t be bought
Time may heal all wounds,
And things may change with age
But for those who carry that ancient anger
The future is their cage
We praised them and we trained them
With murderous intent
Then peace dulled our edge
And into the corner they went
And though peace isn’t shameful,
It just doesn’t seem fair-
That for something once so prized
Now they must despair.

Sunlight streams like trickling gold
Flowing languidly with stories untold
It has neither eyes nor ears
No hopes no fears
Yet is a companion to all-
It picks us up when we are down
A bubbling smile replaces a frown
It soothes the crying child’s tears
As sunrise chases away nights’ fears
No order is too tall-
For even in the blackest pitch of night,
The darkest of the dark-
All you need to find some hope
Is the tiniest of sparks.

Your eyes as clear as summer skies
Can be clouded in an instant by a summer storm;
And yet-
I love them all the more.
Freckles dot your skin,
Emulating stars in the vast night sky,
And I know if I were to follow them
I would be guided home.
Your unruly hair blows wild in the wind stirred up around us,
And yet-
I feel not the slightest chill while wrapped up in your arms.
And if I were to be with you on the worst of days,
My heart would soar to know I had the privilege of seeing the parts of you that no one else cared to notice;
Because all of your pieces and parts may not be perfect,
And yet-
I wouldn't want you any other way.

Your words float around me,
A charming melody-
They pay homage to my senses,
Wrap me up, and set me free;
But my heart aches of its own accord
It never leaves me be.
It reminds me of the time before,
Time spent in the dark-
But time with you jars my soul;
I've gotten back my spark.
