The warm west wind lays the ocean down ,inland brightly colored leaves litter the ground.

I stand alone on the cool dark beach the pods of bait just out of reach .I quietly walk my night time beat looking for a bass thats ready to eat.

I live for these days ,when the autumn takes hold ,a brief respite before the cold .

For twenty year I've danced this dance ,searching for the the alignment of preparation and chance.

Time well spent is all I will say call out sick and seize the day.

If you fall in love with a poet lucky you will be .
Regaled by love sonets and old English words like thou and whilst and thee

But be for warned of the darker side that few will ever see
The angst and anger that fuels the minds of poets such as me

I once had a love a beautiful love a  young
blonde  girl was she
She read all my writing and supported  and  encouraged me

But then it occurred the times I had to write to get these demons  out of me .no time to talk can't you understand just leave me to be me

And alas as time went past the young lady soon left me
A poets love is a different thing for almost whole are we

I need only a muse a comforter ,someone who prompts the  inspiration in me
Yes if you fall in love with a poet lucky I will be

If you fall in love with a poet lucky you will be .

Stars of night with no regard left alone with broken hearts

They cried for the sun for which they longed ,but Theirs was the night, to the moon they belong

The sun longed for the stars and the cool night air surely, he belonged there .

The moon told the sun tonight we shall see at dusk you rise instead of me

The sun was so happy it rose at dusk waiting for the beloved stars to show up

The sun shone bright that October night ,but not a star was seen because of its light

The sun with great sadness soon realized that it had to go, the night was the moon's, that was something even the tides know

The following night as the stars began to rise the sun waved to them as he went by

With great sadness he knew he had to let them go ,back to the moon so they would show
Bright in the night so we might know the beauty of the stars he loved so.

Leave no road untraveled ,no sea unsailed ,follow your heart through life and you will prevail.

Love in the doldrums a place of storms and squalls ,with light shifting winds

The crew mutinied soon after the voyage began, but I cannot quit I must try again

This ship that I sail on this unforgiving sea, has a wheel and and a sail that won't respond to me

Please get me out of this horrible place.storms every night ,no wind in the day, my sails to embrace.

For years I've captained this vessel of doubt . attempting to right its ill fated course.i cry in the night my ship for a horse.

To scuttle this ship is all I have left .to send it and it's misery to the watery depths

Love drowns slowly in a calm sea. resolute to my faith I take a deep breath.

The warm summer breeze caressing your face

It was so simple then,I didn't realize how pure it all was

But  I was too immature to understand I found true love

Now decades later in a much clearer light, my heart Cry's out for just one more night
