Lying on a bed of daisies With summers good intent Butterflies and ladybugs dancing on our heads Eyes are shut, as we lay in peace Listening for the sounds Like birds that sing, and flap their wings Way up high above the ground Sun is bright and filled with warmth As it shines down on this place Rays of sunlight bounced around Puts a smile on our face Vibrant colors here and there As far as eyes can see Crisp and clean, and so serine Brings out the best in me
Red fur and eyes of emerald green White whiskers and sharp teeth Feisty, in a playful way Likes to jump and leap Purrs throughout the night Is known to attack feet Four paws and a tail that wags Stalks, while you’re asleep Sharp claws and pointy ears But no animals’ as sweet
Raining on our wedding day As superstition goes Luck, as it would have it Outweighs the cons and pros Mysteriously consensus to my every conscious whim To be with you both day and night My patience too, wears thin But diligence and fortitude in my nature does exist And if I had to live without you, you’d be missed
I saw her plain as day; golden Under streetlights where my heart was stolen A beauty unlike all the rest ***** heaping out her chest Angelic face and ocean eyes Could see right through her poor disguise And that is when I first realized I’d fallen deep in love
Dancing alone is freeing Freedom to express Hands raised up for liftoff In a fleeting purple dress Eyes are closed, on tippy toes In synchronized display Dancing, dancing, as the legend grows To the crowds dismay
It took courage just to find it It took knowledge I now know It took me disbelieving Everything that I’d been told My reflection in the mirror Looking deep within my soul I found what I’d been searching for That shiny piece of gold
I drank the moon Off its tilted tip Puckered up And took a nip Warm and frothy When it touched my lips Like mothers milk Well worth the trip Down my throat; A liquid drip Guzzled; instead Of just one sip Drank the moon Then came to grips Liquid moon At my fingertips
Remembrance of the words you said Locked away without a key in head Whilst up awake in bed As sleep is sometimes fleeting Those words were truly taken to heart Delving into a brand new start Ripped up, shredded, torn apart As if vengeance were a faze
I’d give it all and then some more For the woman that I adore My heart would all be but yours Kiss goodnights and opened doors Walks along the ocean shores I’d scale the earth to find its core There’s no telling what’s in store When hearts collide, mi Amor
The dogs stooped down below the iron gates Ready for whatever awaits Their master seems to be running late As they sit watching down the road he takes Any minute; any second now He’ll be walking down the street And won’t it be a joyous day If he’s brought with him some treats.
The world is small Like a small ball In universal sense A speck of lint In the scheme of things As much as matter’s dense The world as we know it now Is still in our hands We only need to carry out A set of thought out plans
At the beach Within reach I can feel the suns rays Waters edge I’m content Splashing around in the waves Getting tan Feet in sand On one of the nicest of days Summers here It appears Scorching heat, temperature is raised Bathing suit Point is moot That’s just the way it is
I was controlled under duress Naughty none the less Devilish and scandalous While pounding on my chest I am lion, hear me roar Hush now baby, say no more No tears shed forever more It’s just a simple metaphor
Words are in my comfort zone My home away from home When written they can convey And express what’s the unknown Whatever it is we’re feeling Or sentiments not shown Dispersing all of my emotions But not with speech or tone If only to make connections So as not to feel alone And harness all of my energy To which I’m seldom prone
The red burning sun Blistering in the distance Calls attention to itself And it’s singular existence Just above the horizon Over oceans peak The sun dazzles it’s magic And plays hide and go seek
I still remain cautious I’ve talked with the dead I listened and learned by all that was said They spoke about horrors About the things they had done Flying like Icarus into the sun I wasn’t judgmental I let them speak their peace I just stood there while gazing Watching their demons release Into the cosmos Beget or be gone Nurture your offspring Don’t string them along And your prayers will be answered Your voice will be heard Then you can fly like an angel With wings like a bird
Daybreaks; A silhouette appears Barking out loud orders; Intent to commandeer The rations provided A meal of ill content A smallish tangerine Slippery when wet Hustle out the galley Fall in line and march Hunger in my belly Mouth completely parched Still no sign of enemies Disseminated plans Reaching out to the inhabitants The proprietors of the land Spread them out, far and wide Like a shark in shallow waters Getting swallowed by the tide All sons and pretty daughters Hair salons and fingertips High heeled shoes and bright red lips In the know, now in the mix There’s no more time for parlor tricks
Disappointment is inevitable When you’re held in high esteem People let you down time and again Although the pain is seldom seen But the pain does go away with time It’s important not to dwell Because you’ll never know where heaven is If you don’t first go through hell
A red spot in the sea of green As I stare into the trees Wings, and feathers, and a beak Leaves me silent without words to speak Crowned in all its majesty Spreads its wings to fly Swoops and glides to lovers peak Not lacking skills to try All alone, not in a flock A solitary bird Flying all around from here to there Leaves me speechless without words With twigs and sticks it builds its nest Eyes as black as night with puffy feathered crest All the while, it chirps and sings I’m obliged with all the joy it brings
Based on a true story A fundamental theme Of self and of ones sanity And a spirit that’s redeemed Down from the high heavens To where myself and the earth meet Is empty space and clarity With humble words to speak
My mind’s in rhymes That tell a tale To convey my thoughts Succeed or fail Pen in hand Hand on keys Ideas flow Upon release Stories Poems Word by word Nouns, adjectives And of course verbs These are signs That give a clue And give me Something else to do
A broken transitive vase Shattered on the ground An unexpected pleasure to hear That cracking glass to floor sound Startled; though exciting It made my heart pitter-patter; pound Deep within my meaty chest It shook the whole **** house
In a portrait of a nature scene Lies prickly thorns and dark green leaves Bushes of the holly evergreen The lush green foliage in between Where the flowers are full in bloom That recluse under the starlit moon But rise again mid afternoon Ascending up, tried and true
Along the path of fallen leaves Holds the mystery of forgotten dreams Through the brush and past the trees Lies the fruit of all your heartfelt deeds No wizards spell or magic seeds Can fill your heart or give you peace When no one else can make you feel redeemed Rest at ease and just believe
Feeling old Running cold Like the mildrop dew Rain continues Falling down Making puddles Right on cue Going to wreck Todays events Oh, how I wallow in my stew However, no regrets Mistakes, I’ve made a few Stormy weather Not so splendor For the well to do Cause and actions Split like fractions Sealed up with krazy glue
From a drizzle to a pour Cold raindrops hit the floor Splashing down where puddles form Seeking shelter from the storm No *** of gold at rainbows end Clues I know not where or when As gray skies hover overhead Under covers in my bed Pitter patter on the roof Is all I need to hear as proof As the sound on window panes Is all that lasts or still remains
Ball of fire sent into the atmosphere You can feel it radiate from afar Whether you are far or near The ball of flame shines brighter than a star A vision; too hard to ignore The heat singeing every hair inside your pours Burning everything you value, to its very core But leaving you transfixed and wanting more
She gazed out of her window pane Towards the city, set ablaze She stood in shock, in sheer dismay The moment took her breath away Men and women sent to early graves Rubble now where children played The place where she was born and raised Will nothing ever be the same?
Never stopped my dreaming My imagination free from sin Never stopped believing I someday would win Gaining some momentum On the track of life I go Making my own reality The star of my own show Following my heart Forever free to roam Reaching up to heaven Surrendering my soul
Not everything I write makes sense But the feeling which I writes intense I’ll crash the waves from on the bow I’ll venture forth when I have doubts I’ll protrude through all the pain And reach for you without delay I’ll listen to every word you say Though you hesitate to speak
He’s been primed to show us magic tricks To have us all believe That it’s all one grand illusion There’s nothing up his sleeve The truth hides behind misguided trust It’s this, you must understand That our preconceived notion‘s are fooled With just a slight of hand Rabbits appearing from out of hats People coming apart in two Sawed off at their midsections You should feel lucky it’s not you He’s an expert in misdirection He’s astute, and debonair But, the rules do not apply to him So buyer, please beware
The sphere of our survival Wrapped up to shield us in Fearing to see our bubble burst Before our lives begin Like the fairytales before our time All the stories of the past Preserved for all eyes to see Behind the looking glass If destiny repeats itself Our freedom is restored And all the generations to come Cannot be ignored Speak up for what you feel is right Make sure your voice is heard Because all the power in the universe Can be traced back to a word
Handling love with bumbling thumbs As something so beautiful approaches and comes Eyes tell no lies and I’m stunned by her grace That holds me in silence And keeps up the pace Then walks past the terminus With her head held up high Without an existence And no tears left to cry
I’ve been waiting since I was young For my imaginary friend To take me with him to the place I never thought I’d see again Now I’m back to claim my stake In this concocted made up land That I’ve dreamed about for so long Just to say I can
Along the road to the unknown Under cloudless skies Free to venture on alone Without question or disguise Strangers come and strangers go Come day or come night In our hearts we’re still guided home When the moment feels just right
Thumping, pumping My heart beating in my chest Stomach all ******* in knots Hard to swallow and digest Body has grown tired now Waking in cold sweats After all is said and done I still have no regrets I’d do it all over again If put to the test
Faded A life once lived Along with the dust Gave all that he could give Memories Lost with time that’s passed Trinkets are all that’s left Of things that he amassed Subtle little novelties Time now has forgot Locked inside a mystery For answers I know not
Purple fields of lavender Pollinating honey bees Moved by subtle gusts of wind and a passing breeze With gentle sounds, and swaying trees Springtime’s presence upon us, feeling quite at ease At its essence, pure and sweet Consistent as a latent heat Like Mother Nature’s own heart beat Is where someday I’d like to meet
Streamlined into the universe By meditations pull Cognizant of all living life Within my mapped out inner skull Sound vibrations, infused creation Where images roam free Accepting everything and one That the minds eye clearly sees No religion; no colored skin Just a life force That moves with the wind
I run to my nook My crevice, my cave Hide in the safety of my cozy enclave Surrounded by a babbling brook I’m shaken, unsettled, I’m ruffled, I’m shook Longing for minutes, for hours, for days Fleeting moments of past When I was courageous and brave
If I could make one dream come true All my moments would be spent with you The sun would rise and set at dusk As we confide in who we trust With words and actions that we hold so dear The rain would come, then disappear Back in the clouds up in the sky Cover overhead to keep us dry There’s that twinkle in your eyes That keeps me humble, kind, and wise
