Fearless Mar 2019
old and gnarled like a little white oak
bending shifting creating some smoke
clad in plaid like an old country dad
before mom gets home, cleans up a tad
the wood catches fire, a beautiful blaze
he stands there proud as it catches his gaze
simply enjoying little things in life
peaceful right now but then in walks the wife
Like fire she's spirited, uncontrolled and wild
but not nearly as much as their firstborn child
he tinkers around on his little back porch
watching the wood burn as it starts to scorch
fire is burning all heated around
but he stands like an oak on his spot of ground
Fearless Mar 2019
White. Solid white nothing else in sight
the glasses the little house wore awakening from night
the promise of a sun as the white grew very bright
stretching from a long nap the green giant finally reveals himself
laughing rumble of tumbling rocks as he wears the white a temporary mustache
a big yawn from lady lake sends the white upward with her morning breath
Bursting out in gloriousness the sun glares the sulking fog into submission
he slinks downward thinking to find solace near the gentle water reflecting his image back to himself
lady lake has other plans as she stares up at her true love high in the sky and chooses his image to reflect, warming her loving gaze with the heat of his as he stares down at her.
Their love finally warms to the point that Foggy Mcdougal can take it no longer and shrinks away with his nefarious plans for the next evenings delight

I don't miss the holding hands
while sitting watching some live band
I don't miss the hugs and kisses
hoping you'll make me your Mrs.
I don't miss the spooning cuddles
whispering when we're in our huddles
I don't miss the loving gazes
feelings twirling all in mazes
I miss the silences we shared
because we knew the other cared
I miss that we both got our space
and neither on the other's case
your needs were just the same as mine
to have your peace and take your time
people always want too much
your emotional energy and such
people always want to talk
even on a "quiet" walk
people always want attention
and other things I will not mention
no expectations came from you
and that is why I could be true
to tell you what was on my mind
and just let both of us unwind
nobody gets it, or very, very few
but that is why I'm missing you.
Fearless Mar 2019
the lake like a mirror nestled between emerald mountains
frosting sits on the top of grandfather peaks
watching wise and ancient bearded in pines and hemlock
hopeless romantics gliding through peaceful waters
talking quietly to each other as mist rises with the sun
Fearless Mar 2019
Hills of emeralds strewn about
the end of hell's torturous drought
calm and peaceful starry sky
storm clouds struggling slowly die
coyotes sound their distant calls
the deepest rumbling waterfalls
waves lap up on flattened sand
the tempest stilled at His command
earth shaking instability
peace and soft tranquility
raging fire hot and starving
flashing floods are canyon carving
mist rising from a morning pond
breeze blowing through a palm tree frond
peace and chaos intertwined
woven deep within our mind
Fearless Mar 2019
Why won't he call?
I sit against the wall
why can't he just love me?
I sit under this tree
I dwell and I dwell
and I'm in circles of hell
my mind is so scattered
my heart is so shattered
all I do is think of him
when will our love begin?
Then there came light
at first it was slight
and I tried to fight
comfort in dark
alone in a park
isolation my home
curled up in my tomb
selfish desires sought
it was love so I thought
but that light it shined in
and it showed me my sin
wanting and wanting
my thoughts he was haunting
so I gave up my quest
and went after this test
love, what is this thing?
isn't it an engagement ring?
isn't it hugs and kisses?
and calling yourself Mrs?
the way he looks at you
cuddles when feeling blue?
friend at all times
partner in crimes?
but no, this voice said
that's all in your head
it's patient and kind
not him reading your mind
it lifts the other up high
even if it means saying goodbye
it's not in competition
humility is the mission
and when things go wrong
"I told you so's" not the song
the truth love cannot hide
nor push to be his bride
love is always protecting
not selfishness projecting
jealousy is not here
perfect love drives out fear
and hope never ends
and your way always bends
perseverance is committed
even if love is unrequited
For true love never dies
and it never tells lies
But there is no pain
when real love is the gain
so I gave up my heartache
for something most mistake
I gave up my crying
and all my dumb trying
fear and love aren't the same
with real love there's no game
Fearless Mar 2019
I miss you so, though I put on a smile
it hasn't been long, not even awhile
but you're over there on the other side
and I'm over here, not trying to hide
you think I gave up, that I couldn't stay
but I'm working hard to prepare for the day
when I am your girl, and we are together
with a ring in your hand and words of forever
I'll conquer the world, just so you can see
That you are so very important to me
I love you with every beat of my heart
and I hate it that we are so far apart
head full of hope and a heart full of love
I left you in care of the One from above
