I had a simple day today

but I should never forget it

the trail along the waving Pacific

that led me past peaceful company

A rhythm pulled us all toward harmony

with a song of salty renewal

We scream
for ice-cream,
crunchy cones crisp,
cream and sauce drips down your wrists,
those sweet calories latching to your hips,
but, 'who cares?' you state, licking your lips,
we scream
for ice-cream,
                             drip,

                                       drippy,

Darkness had fallen over as the minutes crawled
Far down the road to belief
Standing on a small covered porch I saw
His painful lines of strain
Turn into relief

A handful might have suspected, turned on all the lights
Seen the streak of dirt on his forehead
How his eyes happened to seek out the night
Real fear shot through my breast
Then quickly spread

I knew if I tried to stop him, said a single word at all
No one else could see his fraying edge
They turned away from the vision, but I can recall
Something hauntingly familiar
Crying from a ledge

Air burned into my lungs as I gasped for breath
A silent scream struggled within
Darkness had fallen over spilling into death
The road to belief was drawn closer
As I remembered then

His eyes, happened to seek me out the night
He pushed me over the ledge
Now he has returned to turn off all my lights
And no one suspects
His fraying edge

*Happy Halloween

Lay me down and show me how
To feel the pain in you
Wrap me in the way you feel
So I can
Feel it too

I can look into your eyes and tell
See no light aglow
But I cannot know the way you feel
‘til you lay me down
And show

Lay me down and show me how
To feel the pain in you
Wrap me in the way you feel
So I can
Feel it too

Those pieces of your emptiness
Drift in with the rain
I can see those holes in you
Filled with
Only pain

Look into these eyes of mine
Love is all aglow
A light to fill your emptiness
Enough to flood
Your soul

Lay me down, I will show you how
I can take the pain from you
Wrap you in the way I feel
So you
Can feel it too

Lay me down
I will show you how
I can take your pain from you………..

Come twist my weave with your spinning wheel
Bend my twine into your making
Hold closely to your heart, that which you feel
When you take on
This undertaking

Spin my beautiful colors into a yarn of your choice
With your lovely spindle
I watch you spinning round, listening to your voice
As I become
Elegantly detailed

Remember, as you twist my weave, to always
Keep one hand free
One to hold your distaff far away
The other, to spin your love
Into me

Has unquenchable wanderlust taken you places
You had never intended to see
Down paths of misadventure apart from your nature
Which separated your honor from reality

Has this old world and all its material treasures
Called you away from your home
Seducing you with the idea of instant gratification
Until you left stability and comfort to roam

Do you now find the need to focus on practicality
Your world to better understand
As you no longer wish to chase unrealistic ideals
While building straw houses on sand

Then take this moment of stillness and quiet your soul
Embrace the melody of your song
Turn your eyes inward to seek your balance
Be still and you will find home

Do you peacefully dream of me in my warm embrace
As I peacefully dream of you in yours
Are you walking with my tender hand in your own
Gazing into the eyes, you love to adore

Are your dreams filled with visions of a heaven
We created, soulfully, united as one
Do you joyfully dance with me to the music we make
Revered even by the radiant sun

My dreams are always filled with your striking visage
There I gaze into your eyes of crystal blue
While joyfully dancing with your strong hand in my own
My heart overflowing with love for you

Are your peaceful dreams filled with me, just the same
As you lie here asleep in my warm embrace
If we opened our eyes and left our peaceful world of dreams
Would I see the same look of love on your face?

Carmine refused to ever play her violin again
As she placed it on the stairs
Surrounded by music playing deep in her heart
She no longer wanted carried there

Saddened by the bitter note she played
At her last performance
Carmine set aside her violin forevermore
Banishing its soul to silence

As silent days and nights turned into years
She never changed her mind
That bitter note she played just once
Remained in fast rewind

Those strings Carmine strung so beautifully
Tuned with all her loving care
Are becoming brittle and cracked with age
Without her playing there

Will Carmine look on with longing glances
Up until her dying days
Never to play the music carried in her heart
Because of a bitter note she played?

Rae was called to lead from her blessed rocking cradle
Isolated from the warmth of hearts
Alone she stood, her mind a field of constant battle
Eyes of ice a world apart

With no gentle hands to soothe or console her
Laughter never came round
Born a warrior, her first cry one of battle
Hush! Her first ever sound

While others were playing, Jack Be Nimble
Rae learned to be quick
With the draw of a sword from her tiny side
Before her neck felt a *****

Schooled in philosophy in matters of the mind
Memorizing her battle scheme
Defense of the weaknesses flowing in her blood
She had no time to dream

Now that Rae has learned the fiercest art of battle
While growing a heart of stone
Her old father is having a changing of heart
Thinking she should not be alone

Pray tell me which one of you handsome lads
Is willing to pay the price
Accept the lovely hand isolated from warmth
Marry, our Rae of Ice?

It is the little things in life, which mean so much
They are very quietly innocent
Like the wondrous feel of a clean bed sheets touch
Infused with an April Fresh Downy scent

Waking up startled at a quarter past eight
Jumping up straight from bed
Thinking worriedly that I am going to be terribly late
Remembering, it’s my day off instead

Coming to terms, that to my name, I’ve not a dime
Accepting my usual penniless lot
Then there in the pocket of my faded jeans I find
A crumpled up, forgotten five spot

Sitting down now with my paper and pen
Searching for words to write
Thinking to myself, my mind has gone blank again
Then finding the ones, perfectly right

To win the lottery or an all expense paid vacation
Would be so incredibly nice
However, I will settle, for these small sensations
Any ole day of my life
