A Single Silhouette


Of an ending oh so hard, to feel the pain I do
When the sun it does not shine
to sing a song of you
An aching in my heart
as time is standing still
My heart will hold your love,
I swear it always will

In an instant you are gone, waving me goodbye
Standing on the streets,
the traffic rushing by
I think of different days
once waiting up ahead
Which matter not to me
I long for you instead

As nightfall wraps its arms, so silently the rain
My tears shall flood this earth
in saddened called refrain
Now barren sifts my soul
of arid, dry and tense
To live beyond control,
now peering through the fence

Along a tattered weave, of fabric worn to shreds
A single silhouette
is lying in my bed
The room about does spin,
so numb my ways do seem
For if I could but sleep
of you I’d surely dream

So please I beg of you, now kneeling in the mud
Clawing at the thoughts
that bring me to your love
And when the clock does strike
of moments I have missed
Stay with me forever  
my only happiness

The day is wet
A chilly feel
November skies are gray

But still the sun
Shines in my heart
Your love takes me away

The calender
May say one thing
To me it's summertime

For every day
Is beautiful
Since I know you are mine

Looped of love


Cast upon a sea of symphonic scent
Cashmere soft and storm cloud kissed
Ventures forth on fingered strings
Spent alone in shuttered mist

“Curtains drawn in crayon colors…stitched on gold locket seams”

Worn of worries, frayed edges weave
Reaching deep into heart felt fear
Bland the noise, served in muted tones
Staring off to nowhere…near

“Tears now fill thy cup…once overflowing in melodic dreams”

Broken desires, a tangled spun web
Knotted by a lingering memory’s hold
Skin still warm of tanned defiance
Fractures locked out in the cold

“Heaved in piles of shoveled excess…soon to be forgotten silent on the street”

Music floods into porous caverns
Echoing a fragrant caring song
On syncopated bar chord promises
To hold you with arms forever strong

*“And I play for you in the key of my heart…looped of love in constant repeat”

Drenched in the reality of my imagination’s trust
A voice in my head sings in subtle verse
Feeling fingers probe my core
As my heartbeat comes in shades of two

Whispers, constant, gathering my attention
Pointing my eyes in northeast directions
Filling my psyche with caffeinated emotions
Earlier and earlier still, waving my pen

Massaged internally by caring hands
Tickled funny bones laugh out loud
As love holds back my salted tears
Breathing this very life into my words

I write, with reckless abandon…poetry
It comes in waves, ever present, like the tides
Crashing on believing beaches
Leaving sea foam trails for me to wander

Gardens bloom when my eyes are closed
Fireflies on star dust wings play while I sleep
Beauty insists I walk when I can no longer stand
And I am not myself, nor do I want to be…for I am

Possessed by you, by everything that is…you
My thoughts are only of you, my dreams…you
My words, in this ever poetic form…you
My heart belongs to…you

I am poetically under your spell
Driven to pen, to impress, to embrace
Eternally in never ending seasons of melodic versed life
I coexist…possessed ~~~~ by you
