oh what use am i to thee
in mine own fine company?
a drink in hand
cheap whiskey brand
i'm on my own again, you see

It Is

It is as morning dew, to a sprightly spring flower
It is as crashing waves, on a summers shore
It is as wet mud, wallowing in autumnal brooks
It is as crisp snow, caught on the clough
It is as the night, to a sky full of stars
It is as love, to my beating heart

Oh Winter Birds

Oh winter birds,
with your songs of frost and rain;
sing for me a morning chorus,
of summer suns again.

I miss the sun and summer

Sun

If I could be the sun
I would not rage, but
My molten body would spin
Timeless

Let me warm your skin, my comet
Let me blaze in the sky, my star
Let me warm your skin, my stardust avatar

I'm not alone
Do look up at me
You will see my planetary family

An ode to a poem I wrote almost exactly 3 years ago, called "Moon"
Time does heal all, things do get better

Daffodils & Butterflies

There are daffodils with butterflies,
fast-fluttering behind my eyes;
a chrysalis of hopes and dreams
maturing, and then taking wing.
Heather blooms, a hazy prize
of sun beams, and purple cries;
a weathered storm of little lies
I tell myself, to sleep at night.

I’ve been listening to self-affirmation tapes lately, and remembering how nature improves ones mood drastically

Bumble Bee

Is that a humble bumble bee
buzzing softly by my ear?
Tell me, good sir humble bee,
why aren't your bumbles clear?
If only I could understand
your honeyed drone, my dear.

Dreams

Dreams are fickle beasts
They hop from eye to eye
Chasing rainbows drawn
on brain-lit black skies

found this in my drafts a short sweet poem about dreams
