A crimson sky

And a whimpering cry

Crows black as night

Above they fly

A mother young senses darkening doom

A sudden yet threatening gloom

The crows whisper in flocks

A heart tick tocks

Tick tock, tick tock, tick …….

A flutter of black wings

Of death they do sing

Her tears now flow

How could they know

Her baby inside no more

I am here once again
Flying the friendly skies
Searching through clouds
For a glimpse of you
I've been here before
so many times
Always with excitement
For a journey new

Anxious for the moment
To see your smile once again
To feel the love in your eyes
To be lost in your embrace
It's not the same this time
You will not be at the gate
Your eyes will not be searching
in a crowd for my anxious face

I miss you
A journey without you
Is like water without ice
A journey bland like
Tea without sugar or
A dish with no spice
It's just not the same....

You are me
A diamond in the rough
and an unpolished gem
Rough around the edges:
sparkles hidden by worn
patches of life
Lost in the hum drum
of broken hopes and dreams
separated by stretches of land;
yet somehow, united on a whim

You are me
A mixture of soils and faiths
A terra cotta ***
planted with seeds of hope
You are the stem
to my blooming petals
Grounding me, nourishing me
together we are the Earth's rose

You are me
Hummingbirds of hope
and lovebirds in the spring
We are a paradise of believes
in an ocean sparkling blue
filled with all our
dreams come true

A picnic in the park
a leaf with a breeze
hibiscus and vanilla
an afternoon tease
Sweet lemonade
under a shade of oak trees
hummingbird duet
with buzzing bumblebees
Teardrop kisses
a gentle love bite
you and I laughing
what a beautiful site
A few filtered moments
just you and I
spring flowers and bluebirds
under a clear blue sky

A violet sky
     across horizons new
Shimmering fish
     swim across oceans blue
Birds chirp
     in unison, as if on cue
And I can only
     think of you

Knew you were gone
Just as dawn hummed
It's one love song

Sands freckled with seashells
And warmed by the sun
Lie patiently waiting
For the cool waters run

The warm waves come crashing
And with passion collide
As the moans of the ocean
Wash away with the tide

Sated, the sands and the
Newly washed shells
Await the return
Of the ocean’s sweet swells
