The way you look at me sometimes
Often sweeps my mind away
Only leaving images of your beauty
To help my mind pass the time of day

The look which I see upon your face
Needs not words to let me know
What your look does express so vividly
For only my heart understands it so

This day has learned to decipher
All the precious looks you send my way
No longer leaving me to ponder
Why you wanted me in your life to stay

As I receive the loving gaze you send my way
Which becomes the best part of my day
I find myself eagerly waiting to return
A look of love to you in that same special way

Plague rests upon the tips of green leaves
Turning them to black with disease
Darkness seeps into the fragile sky
The stars begin to ascend as the sun slowly dies

Tears feed the soil with their woe
Rivers are born, of sadness they flow
So early war has taken hostage
This Earths thick foliage

Skin decays and fades away
But angry souls do remain
Their cadaverous fingerprints left behind
As time begins to pass them by

Nocturnal night lingering here
With death drifting near
These people weep
They no longer sleep

As the touching sun rises, your day unfolds in its glory.
The light of the day asks, " Will you live your life today?"

Here with me


When flowers bloom

I see your smile

Brighter than

A day in spring



On springtime breeze

I hear your voice

Sweetly whisper

As I sing



Life is blooming,

It’s beautiful to see

Your heart is pounding,

Busy as a bee


As warmth grows around us

Never daring to part

It grows inside me

Right into my heart


The birds keep singing,

Flying into our view

Nature keeps smiling

Back at you


And of these things

My heart does feel

In silent smiles

Which can’t conceal



The beauty of

This world we see

When you are standing

Here with me

~

Where did the music go?

For of this dance the music shall end in silence
Take my word, I have watched this sawdust dream,
hand in hand with another,
swaying beneath a glow of harmonized fiction’d love,
dissipate in a faultless flume of symphonic mist
Lost will be the melodic embrace
that once moved in rhythm…as one

And those who stood there, blank smiles,
toes tapping, hearts beating rapidly in drum beat tempo
along poster’d walls of coming acts…
Those you slow danced past, not even a glance,
a wink or a smile shall follow the lead of another,
waltzing till midnight and tango’d tomorrows
as you walk home, mediocre paced…alone…wondering

Where did the music go?

And when you fall for a girl with hips like hammers and lips like pens, never let her go. Though it may be difficult, do not let her go. She will be the girl who is there to keep you safe. She will be the one who saves you.


She is everything you've ever needed in a person and more.

You always said that all you need is someone who can make a dull day be seen in technicolor
And who will love you for who you are.
And that IS her.
But you never mentioned how you need someone whose eyes are so blue that you could drown in every shade of her iris.
Or how you need someone that will make you bathe with her even though you're not the one who needs cleaning.
You never spoke of how you need someone who is able to make all of your insecurities melt-
Even if only for a second.
You never talked about how you need that girl that will tease you for how tightly you grip her hand when it's dark
And who will make your body thrash and tremble in pleasure rather than terror at night.
You never said a thing about how you NEED that girl whose laugh is too precious to ever forget the shape of her smile.
You never mentioned it because you had no idea.

My heart
and
your promise…
why must you break both?
