.
Caught beneath the landslide of the thoughts my mind did think
Reaching for my last and final hold
Watching as the darkness fills the void where I now sink
Shivering amidst the frigid cold

Air is a commodity I cannot seem to trace
Gasping from this chest long over due
Drowning in the teardrops falling slowly down my face
All because your promises weren’t true

Broken is a heart that fell unending to your charm
Cracked between the center of it all
Little did I know that near the end would bring me harm
No one left to hear my sorrowed call

Now I’m left to die here in this chasm all alone
Nothing left to do but question why
Seeking out the answer wedged so tightly in the stone
Since that day I heard you say good bye

Alluring the
whispers,
a warm
summer breeze

Floating the
heavens,
caressing
the sky

Counting
each star
midst the
evergreen trees

Lost in
the glow
as the moon
wanders by

Sharing a
kiss that
a shadow
conceals

Holding
each other
neath
wonders above

Feeling our
heartbeats
as evening
reveals

The heavens,
the stars,
the moon and
our love

Her eyes like
feathered whispers
traced the lines
of my swirling
heart

Softly flowing on
stardust glimmers,
echoing chills
of moonlit
kisses

Enchanting touches
leaving desire’s
ripples in the
wake of our
love

Now comes the night when a day fails to linger
Little by little the moon tends to dance
Lonely horizons of memories brittle
Held by my heart in a shade of romance

I am but one on the shores of a river
Slipping my toes in the currents I dream
Drenched in desire as my thoughts find her waiting
More than the beauty this cool evening stream

For all I see is an endless endeavor
Nature brings change in a challenging style
Looking beyond every fern colored shadow
Wishing to have her with me for a while

Leaving the forest I bid it to beckon
Waving farewell to the dark skies above
This now my path to her sunrise affection
Waking the day with the promise of love

Will you love me this evening
where moon beams are glowing
and fireflies play
under stars shining bright

Neath evergreens swaying
while crickets are chirping
and warm summer breezes
make everything right

Far beyond the horizon
as city lights flicker
enchanting our view
on these amethyst skies

Will you love me this evening
alone here together
and love me again
in the morning sunrise

The morning sun greets
from an eastern horizon

As smiles trickle down
from the north up above

While right here I stand
in a western direction

South of the border
that sends me her love

.

If today were my birthday,
I know what they'd say
He doesn't look older,
not even a day

He moves a bit slower,
a methodic pace
And there are some new
wrinkles formed on his face

His hair is much thinner
up there on his head
and before the sun sets
he's heading to bed
  
But look at his poetry,
he writes about love
The moon and the stars
and the heavens above

He's still young at heart
and it flows from his pen
Especially when he writes
about her again

He looks quite the same
after all of this time
For age doesn't matter,
if he can still rhyme
