Etchings of sincere thoughts
written down in time
so not to abandon their meanings.

Explosive feelings
falling ardently to paper
agonized with each ache and affliction.

We right any injustice,
defend each analysis,
and plead toward understanding.

Amid life's occurrences,
our audience takes in our wisdom
studying with rapt attention.

Stones of shape
inscribed with adages
and memories of lives spent.

Sinking lawn
mossy earth surrounding
damp and concave they allay forever.

Dark and deserted
ceasing age they linger
no one concerns to bother anymore.

I raise my eyes to the sky.
My chest feels tight
I try to steady my breath,
Fearful of the surrounding solace.
I am still, unmoving.
It keeps coming.
Cold and unfeeling.
Lifeless without peace,
my head under water.
I am succumbing to the dark.
Denying the blackness…

Playtime ceased
laughter no more
memory and loss

Imagination fleeting
smiles and tender joy
leaping and running

Seeking and hiding
bonds mend and spirits fly
taking care with merriment

Under a charmed spell
precocious and undaunted
unconcerned with the hours

A blink of dark eyes
gone in an instant
ripped through grasps

Echoes in time
wrought with tears
and forgotten events

Drops of sweat, beading and clinging
    breaths of pleasure, carefully singing
          motions carried to and fro
              sighs embracing, craving hello.

Darkening passions never descending
    grasping onto desire bending
          tender night allowed to grow
              devotion displayed in overflow.

Lasting memories forever deepening
    emotions aflutter, gently careening
          hoping against what we know
              twilight consumed so long ago.

Skies with brushes, painted
in deep reds. Pillowed clouds
in shades and hues, comfortable
in their floating presence.

Sloping mountains in solid strength
and character, standing guard -
Witnessing the alchemy
in the pace of the day.

Movement of tides, with fluctuated flow
of sands swirling. Bubbly and boundless,
the peaceful blue is untouched
by the capsule of time.

Mornings breath in vivid decoration,
graciously beginning a jubilee.
We sit, watching and waiting
in nature’s solace again.

With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Nearby the carefree heart is laid
Lashes of eyes so greatly beloved
With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Passion ensued in wishes above
Quietly grinned a serenade
With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Nearby the carefree heart is laid
