A good night kiss,
He asked it so,
A seed of love was planted.
In fertile ground,
Midst passion's night,
Childhood now abandoned.

Let dreams run wild,
Like vines will climb,
The pulse of hearts are beating.
Yet hold your hopes,
T'was just by chance,
This seed, too new, not yielding.

But there it stayed,
A hidden jewel,
This precious seedling waiting.
The night now tender,
But ground still fertile,
Its love flowers unabating.

I feel you calling me to cross the sea,
As my heart splashes upon the bow with torrential motion,
Tacking back and forth from port to starboard.

After leaving safe harbor and being drawn across the ocean,
It is clear my heart will never be returned to me.

I have a very special spotted rock,
It’s oval shaped and smooth all around,
My solemate found it on Elba at a home on a bluff,
She gave it to me with a smile to keep safe,
I carefully carried it across the Atlantic in my pocket,
It was so precious I never let it out of my sight,
Then one day I lost it during a pandemic,
When it slipped through a hole in my pocket,
The special spotted rock was no where to be found,
I looked for it relentlessly but it was lost for eternity,
The love of my life then slowly retreated away,
The twinkle in her brown eyes when she saw me faded,
She no longer radiated love or affection in my direction,
She has since drifted far away, into another man’s arms.

Moving away from My heart

As you fly eastward away from my heart I see that
you've got New England landscapes in your dreams  
and wanderlust in your soul.

But I've got maps of Cape Cod on my phone and gypsy in my blood.

So let's blow this clam bake and get out of this life.
As we have people to see and things to do.

You are the colors of a desert sunset,
You are the constellations in the Montana sky,
You are the turquoise colored waves on the Philippine Sea,
You are the warmth of a jacuzzi on a cold Siberian night.

You are more intelligent than an 18th century Oxford scholar,
You are more sensual than a ravishing centerfold,
You are more refreshing than a cool breeze on a hot summer night,
You are more tantalizing than the most delicious entree on a Roman emperor's menu.

And of course, you are the love of my life...

Come take me away
In your boat, on the Bay,
Where the moonlight reflections play hide and seek.

You row as I gaze
Through the summer night's haze,
At your eyes that to my beating heart speak.

Slowly we dock
Then we climb up on the rock,
To lose ourselves in worlds of dreams and serenity.

I love you my Peter
Your love becomes sweeter
With each day that breaks new for you and me.

The Long Trek Home

Your sweet lips like fuel,
Applied to my teenage neck,
Reminds me of the long trek,
Back to my remote boarding school.

Your refreshing mannor so kind,
I painted you **** over and over in my teenage mind,
Remember that time and place?
I cherish it more than the immaculate grace.

Thinking of you and that wonderful time and place.

I long for your smile,
for the happiness in your eyes,
for your laughter which caresses
My heart deep inside.

I long for your lips
first tenderly on my cheeks,
then moving to my mouth
as only our bodies start to speak.

I long for the passion
When your body’s next to mine,
The intimate unity
For which our souls pine.

I long for you,
Simply you, with your love so sweet,
For to be in your presence
My soul feels complete.

Hello old friend
It’s nice to see you again
Time seems to change everything
People, places, things
but my fond memory of our childhood
hasn't changed a bit.

So many years since that time and place
my friend
We have walked our separate paths
and meandered through time
without ever crossing paths again

It’s been too many years, my friend
the storms of life have come and gone
The memories are there
though the elements erode them so

Nevertheless I have a few remaining scattered memories of you in my old and fading mind
My memories recount that you are
one of those sincere few who walk amongst us
radiating compassion, sincerity, kindness
and positive energy

For that influence I want to sincerely thank you
for all the years your actions have touched me
helping me to discover who I wish to be

I am truly grateful for that short time of youthful interaction
and I am blessed to have crossed paths with you my dear old friend

A glow of light that I spied from afar,
shimmering and floating on waves like a star.
A flickering light as if weary from strain,
remained steady, only waiting to be found again.

An unlikely explorer, I was lost in a brume
of living a life of roles I'd assumed.
In search of what would give meaning to my whole,
to a life that became untethered to its soul.

My rowing now purposeful, I decided to go
to this light I saw emanating from depths below.
As my eyes met the water through waves and brume,
the light took form, a shape it assumed.

With wonder and joy, I peered over my oar,
it was a heart of gold on the ocean floor!
So solid and pure, this wondrous find,
I dived in to the ocean and now it is mine.

This beautiful heart that lay deep in the clay,
Its light, it gets brighter with each passing day.
For the care and nurturing of this heart of gold
Is the binding that tethers my life to my soul.

If my desire to be with you now was the wind,
it would be so intense that it would sail me across the Atlantic and wash me into your arms.

If my thoughts of you were steps,
there would be so many that they would extend me across great distances into your warm embrace.

If my love for you were a wave,
it would be so strong and powerful the crest would sweep me across the ocean into your celestial shores.

And if our dreams could speak to us,
they would tell us about the wonderful moments we will share from now until the end of eternity.

I knew a boy
once in a dream,
shy and lanky
was all that he seemed.

But what from afar
was known as appeared,
When he approached
All lines disappeared.

For eyes were not the needed tool
as the lines blurred to the words he said.
To know this boy was to listen and feel -
his heart was the chisel to the thoughts in his head!

And the secret that
once in a dream
was learned,
I kept hidden til needed
when then
'twas confirmed.

I must go down to the seas again,
To the arms of my beloved,
His hand to hold upon the knoll,
His sweet smile I do covet.

And all I ask is his voice to hear,
Of stories left unsaid,
The blue of his eyes to touch my heart,
His shoulder to rest my head.

In the storm of life, my dear,
we are thrown about.
Many times we pass too near
and so we doubt
what is secure,
to hold for life
we pass, unsure.

Suddenly, we find ourselves adrift, alone,
the ship now gone.
Struggling to reach the shore,
familiar ground,
to fear no more.

The storm is long, the night is cold,
And then, a warm hand grabs hold.
And though too near, we had passed it by,
Its sturdy bow with oars held high,
It was with us all along you see,
For our life boat is your love for me.

Flowers bloom by nature,
They do not choose,
To give to the bee their fruit.

Like my heart,
It's untamed will holds sway,
With deliberate actions left astray.

No reins to hold to guide this will,
Its passions running wild.
Delight in the senses,
Stay fearless my dear,
The path our love will guide.

In that moment on a hill
Your nature was revealed,
For unlike no other
You dared to bother,
To listen, to share
To inquire, to care.

A lonely girl, her emotions bared,
You approached and were not scared
To stand out from the crowd
From the common herd,
To shine your smile and give a kind word.

You who acted and would take a stand
Possesses that quality that defines a man.
For to empathize is no ordinary task
As is to give of yourself without being asked.

Mediocre and ordinary, you cannot say,
About you who would jump into the fray
For a simple gesture or to take up a sword,
With the knowledge that gratitude would be your only reward.

The awaited moment!
An empty beach but for the desire of marrying nature with nature,
unrestricted, unconfined, sure.

Cold water screams, laughter abounds,
the thrill encapsulated by such sounds.
Nature on nature, no separating thing,
Like love on love that has taken wing.

Kidnap me from my current reality
and the crushed dreams of my entrepreneurial ambition.

Color me inside my soul
until my shattered existence is whole once again.

Hold me tight in your loving arms until the sun rises in the next millennium.

For I love you from the furtherest depth of my heart my dear JLC.

Who would have known
The love it was to be,
That apple picked from the first tree.
So tempting it was
But not for yet.
The fruit will ripen as sun will set
Upon our love
Our love will rise
A brand new day,
The fruit will ripen
Our hearts today.

Dear Sweet JLC,

While I wait for you I walk alone. Please close your eyes and listen...

... YOU were the lovely vision planted in my mind while I was sleeping...

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
Are written on subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

xoxo
