Shhhh,
silence prevails
as attention deals
***** hands
when it becomes
a full house…

shuffled and cut

-

Arise my morning glory
the coffees on to brew
A brand new day is waiting
to welcome me and you

I know that you are sleeping
so soundly in our bed
A wondrous sun is shining
so wake up sleepy head

I made some eggs and bacon
and toast with berry jam
Come push aside those covers
and take me by the hand

For not a cloud is showing
just perfect skies of blue
Arise my morning glory
I’m so in love with you

~

Dancing in the flame beneath a flickered candle's light
Moving between shadows on the floor
My every thought now focused on the beauty I have seen
Standing present on a distant shore

Gentle waves do drench her skin, to shimmer soft and sweet
As walls I find about me steadfast true
With only but this window do witness every need
This vision that does flood my mind of you

Delicate the grains of sand which capture where you are
Upon the golden wings of whispered pleas
While I alas, do fight the ways that keep me ever gone
Now praying as I fall upon my knees

My angel of the waters with the breezes in your hair
Feel this love which flows upon the wind
There atop a rainbow near a lighthouse proudly stands
Beginnings that I cherish once again

Cast apart these shackles which so tightly hold me down  
Bound about my feet so I shan’t flee
Solid is the lock it seems now forged of hardened dreams
Yours is but the love which holds the key

Free me with your crescent smile as bright as any moon
Place your eyes upon this tear stained face
Take me by the hand and lead me far away from here
Hand in hand along the shore to trace

We shall leave our footprints by the lake that you call home
Rows of two now stretching far and wide
Open up your wings so I may fall into your heart
*Lock my love away so deep inside

-

Sitting here,
watching it rain

trying to count the ripples
in the puddles reflecting
clouded skies overhead,
slowly expanding circles
silently flowing outward,
disappearing at the edge
and they mesmerize me
as I find my thoughts
drifting past each tiny
glistening droplet
falling from the eaves,
rhythmically splashing
to once again see you,
my beautiful sunny day
shining down from above,
warming my heart and
drenching me with your love

and I no longer notice…
*it is raining

~

O’ sunrise, yon orchid shimmer’d glow
I pray, heed my humble plea,
cast your light o’er sleeping fields
a’ flow of gold leaf mist
illumined ‘pon sweet breeze whispers,
so that my love shall awaken
amidst the splendor of
honeycomb essence driftings
gently caressing her face,
warming her rose petal skin,
lifting her parfait smile
so I too may bask in the impeccable
*beauty of this morning

~☆~

Many, many years ago
on an enchanting night
very much like this one,
an amorous philosopher
must have searched
the heavens
for the perfect spot
to scribe the visions
he saw of the future
For if you look
with me upon
this evening sky
you will see our love
*is written in the stars

~

As apricot wanderings of
         plum shadow wishes collect
         neath apple cider lips now
          sticky with nectarous flowings,
and pulsating peach blossom petals
             drip of nature's ripened sighs…
a saturated smile appears
                as I imagine harvesting
the fruit bearing orchards
*of your desires
