Come with me a’ walking
on this autumn day
Through this wondrous forest
here amongst the shade

Along a wooded stream
you and I we lie
Contemplated dreams
appear before the eye

Let us find a pathway
silent ‘neath the trees
Leading us to paradise
on the forest breeze

Waiting for the twilight
to flow in from above
On our grand adventure
*as we share our love

Golden soft, rays a’ fleeting filter,
pristine light through branches does sift
Along a peach grove corridor
and dirt road dreams of scattered dust

I sit and watch the day unfolding,
hot,  the cup my hand now holds
Tiny sips of morning flavors sing
as I long for the miles to disappear

Beyond blue skies calling out to me
from northern horizons with voices melodic
Bringing the music of your heart
on breezes … sugar sweet and  pure

As I taste your smile of sunrise beauty,
feel your touch of dawning desire
and stare off quietly to where I’d rather be…
*I sip my cup again, lingering in all that is you

Dreaming past snow drifts
Framing the distance
Starlight reflections
Closer than tomorrow
Touching my skin

                                                     ~
                              Through soft woolen mittens
                              Ski jacket hugs, turtleneck wishes
                              Snow angel dreams and icicle kisses
                              Slipping my heart inside of your pocket
                              Where it is warm, safe and secure
                                                      ~

­Calling in echoes
Across the white valley
Listen to the wind
Feel the wintry whispers
Touching your skin

Winter’d wind doth cradle
O’ the daylight glow
Found to bend of spilling fragrance
Filtered o’er the earth below

Why the birth of seasons green
Claim yon saplings cast a’ ground
Brought o’er lonely sacrifice
O’ the whistling autumn’d sound

Splintering amidst the bands
Needles o’er the pines they seed
Following lo’ destined path
Of this earthen soil to feed

Days of time, o’er shortened length
Fell defeat O’ final stand
Feel the grasp on captured breeze
*Deeply held in autumn’s hand
Ok, I know, a little "olde world" just go with it.  :)

Of worth, I wonder, oh I plead
This man of very simple means
Alone in truth my love does bear
If only you were here with me
~
A tiny touch of fingertips
Invokes desire to my glow
A brush against your supple lips
My blood a’ boil, starts to flow
~
So tight within your arms I see
My place, the world I long to share
O’ cast of shimmering moon beam
Now shines upon your autumn hair
~
Of eyes so dark, intense thy form
In prayers ago, to find me true
Cold winters fierce, I’ll keep you warm
To cry, I’m so in love with you
~
So am I worth what I so need
I stand before this evening light
With scars where once my life did bleed
An anguished soul of sorted sight
~
To dream in darkness shedding fear
Till death does come to find my day
I’m worth it if your love is near
Within my heart along the way

Tears for the fallen
Saddened refrains
Lasting impressions
Endless the stains

Hearts of the young
Brave in the fields
Anguish and sorrow
The pain it does yield

Proudly they fight
Quickly they fall
Not soon forgotten
The blood on the wall

Freedom the journey
Cost laced with war
Darkened decisions
Death at the door

Counted statistics
No two the same
Numbers for tracking
Somebody’s name

Wasted perception
Fear has no place
Tears for the fallen
Roll down my face
