Caught in a turnstile dreaming
Spinning with no place to go
Reaching for lights in the ceiling
Blinded by something aglow

Losing my ticket on Sunday
Searching each pocket I wore
Wondering how I will get there
Into the arms I adore

Missing the bus that was leaving
Stopping for just a short while
Up pulls a man on a scooter
Wearing a slightly bent smile

“Hop on, I’ll go where you’re going”
He says as he gives it some gas
“Here, better put on this helmet,
So many cars we will pass”

We head out in either direction
Exits are lined by the way
Speed limits posted in crayon
Sixty-four color display

Then all at once we are flying
Sparrows look on with a sigh
Over a skyscraper napping
Snoring as we’re passing by

Higher and higher now climbing
I look at my watch, almost noon
We turn at the belt of Orion
A rest stop this side of the moon

When suddenly I am free falling
Tom Petty would surely be proud
I gaze at the station below me
The wind in my ears very loud

And there in the turnstile dreaming
I see once again it is true
Waiting in line with the others
Is me heading off to see you

That would explain why I’m happy
Head in the clouds up above
The ticket my hand it is holding
I’m going to be with my love

~

A chill does fall this evening air
Drifting soft neath heaven’s flame
Star light flickers we may share
For love that sings its own refrain

In chorus of a calling breeze
Aloft of wooded heights so high
When nestled soft upon my knees
To stare into this painted sky

For but this light that finds me here
In distant galleries so swept
A touch that never shall let go
Forever closely to be kept

I cling to every thought I bear
Now caught so tight of passion’s flow
Found blessings that we come to share
With praises which our hearts bestow

Along a tiny twisting way
So now defined by skies above
When journeys turn our minds astray
We reach back towards illumined love

As all that time shall come to pass
When waking bells their ring is true
My deed, my destiny, my task
To send this endless love to you

And here upon this weary ground
Between the shadows now at play
I dream within affection found
*In wafting whispers sent your way

~

You found me lost and alone
You found me questioning what would be
You found me losing all hope

You showed me compassion
You showed me a new path to walk
You showed me love

You gave me a purpose
You gave me you
*You gave me…me

~

A lone mist drifts in feathered shadows
where footprints are soft neath a robin egg sky
Hushed sentiments flow on cool morning breezes
as dreams bask in the light of dawn’s shining,
heaven sent beams caressing our skin

The warmth of a new day embraces us,
sitting quietly on the veranda, two cups shared
with tender glances and sweet kisses as I drink
in your beauty among blooming hibiscus and
hummingbird whispers seeking the nectar of our love

Morning glories yawn in watercolor brush strokes,
painting the landscape in Monet swept patterns
while effervescent dragonflies hover nearby
I take your hand and tell you I love you and
watch as your smile becomes my morning...

*your love becomes my life

~o~

Evening glow
precious wing
Gently floats
hear her sing
Twilight breaks
soft of hue
Constant dreams
of only you
~
Take my hand
close your eyes
Feel the breeze
moonlit skies
Sweet the scent
all night long
Listen to her
fairy song
~
Whispering
on the wind
As we kiss
once again
Magic forms
in the trees
Here tonight
*you and me
