I know my dear I write silly love poems
but this is all I know, little dittys to you
and when I'm old and frail, and you read
these quaint little tales, no they are from
the deepest thoughts from my mind
and only for you, for I am not the man
I am today without you in my life
holding your hand is like touching an angel
Gods gift to me, and I am blessed
I just hope I am Gods gift to you amen

If tomarrow is the future we seek
Why wasn't yesterday the future to keep
They say the river run deep
So do I when I sleep
I hit a bump on the road,stubbed my toe
When I fell I saved my nose
Should I see a doctor, or a nurse
I'll pick the one who won't lighten my purse
Running from the past I'm free at last
Yet my breathing has left me agast
If I fell into a well and screamed for help
Would they send a rope down made of swirling kelp
If these words I've penned from dreams remembered
Would they be famous or tossed in the embers

Gentle waves tickling the shore
like the sirens fingers motioning
come join me, come join me

gentle breeze wraps around me
and hold me in a trance
eyes staring at the horizon

oh those noisy seagulls
with their happy chatter
searching for what they desire

and , what is my desire, I ask
or am I like them, searching
circling again and again

perhaps I should get off this rock
and return to the world
and realize I am me

these sleepness nights
and lonesome dreams
flashback of memories
calmed by fatigue
its useless to wonder
where you might be
your eyes wide open
wanting to see
your new found wind
glides you away
to a place perhaps
you can finally stay
seems best not to fight
or ponder what might
just want to rid myself
these sleepless nights

shall I let you reshape me
pour the purest water upon me
peeling off the dying skin
as the worms feast on the remains
then you can mold me into the rich
textures of your deluded fantasies
and let loose your desires to curse me
hoping your hallow life will be free
yet this panoramic view of your creation
is all for naught, you forgot to give it life
you forgot to give it the colors of your love
you only gave it wisdom of who you are
as it watches the smoldering embers of you
fade away

the word salad of deception they weave
and all these years our faces beam
the slogans of hopes and dreams
have left us with nothing to believe

their weathered faces  crinkled smiles
hiding their history of countless lies

the charactors on the hill
the donkeys and the elephants
sure get their fill
while the slave ants
bend  silent and hurried to their will

the promise is to have us
bend our knees and plea
as they smile, well'll get to your needs
yet the masses still adore
what they choose to see

their weathered faces crinkled smiles
hiding their history of countless lies

let the smoldering embers
be remembered
as a place of hope and dreams
yet she will be standing

waiting for you and our  promises
that Her flame will never extinquish
as she guides you to the the promise land

snowfall silently nourtures mother earth
each flake randomly takes its place
to build a blanket and keep her warm
till her spring children reach up to the sun
to paint the colors of life

come to me tonight, your softness I so desire
the smoothness of your skin, lays upon me
sends ripples through my distorted mind
in a weaken state, I surrender to you

sprawled out now, let those engorged lips
trace each hill and valley on my body
search for what you expect to find
take your time, show no mercy, yet be kind

and at the tip, the moisture, eases slowly
a sign I've surrendered to you
your warm breath and seductive eyes
are in rhythm, with your fingers touch

a stirring from my hips, a foreshadow of
an explotion and your beautiful moan
rest your head on my chest, fingers touch
our heartbeats slow, our eyes close the night

just outside the city lines, bout half mile down
stands the old stucture, guiding folks to town
legend says its an arch, pass under it to be free
my thoughts are still pending, not sure to believe
the sun sets early now, as we say good bye to summer
Its shadow seems longer now, least I remember
the people welcome in the fall, the season of colors
the crispness of the air, cleanse the summer druthers
It seems to stand guard, firmly gripping the ground
the people amass and gather round
could it be an ancient stargate, from a forgotten time
built to keep the human race in a lockstep line
now if you look closely, where it bends and streches
the fading words still spells its message
welcome all you strangers and old friends alike
relax, take care, hope you stay awhile

Into the night, once again
when the moment
the song begins
and the notes bend the emotions
separate the days commotions

all the lyrics take us on a journey
as if its telling our story
seduced by the rhythm, the mind
defenseless
as the tingling tones, needle the body
senses
close the eyes and the world disappears
till were ready for it to reappear
when the song ends, feeling exhausted
and spent
let it play over again, from beginning
to end

the silent of the night, is so serene
in this cold stillness, flue vapors
tickle the darkness, trails disappear

mounds of snow, piled high
slowly melt from underneath
waiting for the daylight sun
help to nourish the frozen ground

occasionaly, racoons, nights burgulars
slueth silently, scrounging for scraps
naked trees branches, fingers reach
sun's rays flex them in the breeze

patchwork of inkling green and brown
amongst the receding white
dusk of winter, slowly fades
gives way to spring, rebirth

so you decided to call me and plead yourself
the soundscape music made you miss me, again
what am I to wonder as I ponder your request
I'm still gluing back the pieces of another broken heart

am I just a spray on cologne when you need the fragrance of love
only to try your other brands when I finally wear off
perhaps i'ts not the product, but the user's misuse
read the label, this product expires in thirty days

so lovely is the sound of the songbird chirps
singing for the rebirth of mother earth
may the sun's arms surround us with warmth
as the winter snow seeps into the earth
bring to life , the roots below
soak them,nourish them,unfold the petal hands
sprout the the colors, paint the land

entrenched in this mind set, these daily duties
I saw my own self walking past me, curious
I wanted to catch up to him, ask him were he's going

He look strange to me, somebody with the joy of living
slapping all the ilks of life away, plodding his own path
but surely he must follow the daily routine, I ask myself

then, like every night when I reflect on the days events
when fear and uncertainty may surround me
I know I can enter that stargate, if I'm willing

Shall I pen this verse for you
this time, may it spill upon
your open hands
with all its truths
rub them on your skin
and feel the memories

my constant thoughts of you
invade my dreams, hence
sleepless nights
are you safe, did you read this
still wondering

the bed is barren, on your side
the puppies are grown now
they lay at the end of the bed
head on their paws, droopy eyes
looking to me for their answers
I can ony look at them in silence

even the morning coffee ***
its sound so vibrant, happy,
labors, one less cup to fill

as I pen this final verse
in all its truths
be well my love, enjoy your jouney
remember I was your starting point

i wonder what shes like in person, not just on a site
so intrigued i am, of every thing she writes
her words come across to me, as a mirror of my life

did I know her in some distant past, only to rekindle feelings felt
did we walk along a meadow,hand and hand, as our hearts melt
as we talk about all our things, of the life we were dealt

and now we converse in cyberspace, with words unafraid
no one to say whats right or wrong, our dues have been paid
a reunion of sorts, for you and I, anonymous all the way

love
hate
sorrow
despair
happiness
death
tears
smiles
warmth
hope
content
all cascading into the stream of life

such a delicate soft finger
tingles the skin
touch a lonley cheek
follow the moisture around
a sculptured feature
and breathe
tame eyes decieve, hold a trance
beneath the stare, suspicion hides
blink the eyes, the futures past
wisk into the wind another
minds wandering act

I have'nt the energy, to rearrange the sheets
I'll let your imprint  absorb into my memory
this coffee I sip, seems bittersweet
the soft closing of the door is complete
what we had last night, was lost in the morning
was your secret thought, too much for your longing
does his tantilizing breath capture your senses
the feel of his new touch, leaves you defenseless
wondering? what am I to do, is overwhelming
shall I throw you a rope, grasp at a new beginning
would you catch it, so I can pull you back in
or is the last loop, the final ending?

Those sails on your ship are tattered
Your rudder askew
The quest for yourself  has left you bruised
That newness you sought, was the past renewed
Time to anchor in this harbor, your emotions are
past curfew
Hold steady now, my flags are flying
Rest here for awhile or forever if you need
Lay down your arms or around me
Save your last bullet for me
I'll take it willingly
Then patch me up, absorb my love
as I bleed

gaze at the chariot clouds
chasing the venus star
her brightness hypnotize
the particles of the night
vaccum them up
into her shining abyss

the black background
are filled with peering eyes
some wink, others stoic
the slow movement wave
from dusk to dawn
intice the mortals
to their wildest dreams

the certain comfort
of the night sky
the temptation that
fools ourseleves
chasing lust
we hide behind
its misgivings
and **** us
with the morning light

the brook, like time, flows constant
seeming to always move forward
polishing and molding the stones
listening closely, I hear it speak to me

not long ago we walked along i'ts path
a lazy and serene stroll, hand in hand
talking bout our dreams, full of passions
as the sun warmed our sensual hearts

as it carved out i'ts own path, so did you
your flow it seems is constant,without me
you have molded your life beyond us
polishing the stones to your liking

the brook, like time, is constant
seeming to always move forward
but sometimes it gets diverted
and ends up in an empty sea

he walks, he wiggles, on the ground
slowly but surely, without a sound
his feet are a hundred, timely in beat
rhythm and rhyme, one, two, three

the caterpillar is unique in his own way
nothing bothers him, he likes that way
he comes and goes up and down his tree
slowly, but surely, one, two, three

you tame me with those azure eyes
your voice cuddles my hurting heart
yet that distant stare is not for me
am I absent from your mind
does my old age erode the memories
of you and I in our youth
for time is constant, relentless ticks
I have been soften, my sturdy roots
weaken, the insects of life slowly feast
just toss me in the compost pile
let the monarch pick up my ashes
deposit me onto a ****** flower
its petals open to the warm sun
and the circle will be complete

We use to be the king and queen of our kingdom
I must have let the jester get too close
all of his jokes and fancy tricks made you smile
and the distant between us only widens

the late nights staring out the window
waiting for you to come home
wondering if you will then wondering who you are
and the distant between us only widens

and that late night staring out the window
you never did come home
knowing now you won't wondering who you are
and the distant between us only widens

as the late night fades to sunrise
as Im staring out the window
I slowly draw the curtains
knowing now the distant is forever

don't be afraid to approach for i cannot harm you anymore
lying here , my arms folded, my eyes closed for all eternity
you can kneel at my side and say the thoughts you feel
for I cannot respond
the guilt i have put on you has suddenly gone away
you are free now to proceed with your life without my to interfere

Lying among this dandelion field
With its colors surreal
In hand a tidy envelope
With a letter perfectly sealed
So nice of you to take the time
To make it pretty with hearts that shine
I'll perceive what's in here is a confession of sorts
Hope you kept it simple your lies come up short
I can't open it been in your emotional blender
I'll peel off all the shiny hearts
And return to sender

such that it is, the pure sounds
the genius of music men
that captures my thoughts
trying to pen my love for you
you've become more beautiful
with each earthly step you take
in awe, I surrender to you
do not blush, when I bestow
my heart upon you
for I give it completely
do as you may with it
wash it clean of sins, ****** it
feel the warmth in your hands
I know my ramblings seem
scattered, such is crazed love
but you will gather them up
corral them in your mind
knowing the gift of you
is my heaven on earth

such a fog of insecurity, lingers in their eyes
the naysayers that tell tales, are of simple minds
they carry the weight of emotional blight
though a grayish hue, devow of sunshine

the jealousy that consumes them, are of their making
they wonder why " I am not a perfect gem"
perhaps the waves of life, did'nt polish them
to their liking
those pity feelings are all around them

so go ahead now, let it bleed out of you
drain those poisonous emotions you feel
the ones that cursed you from being renewed
remember, their the ones who need to be healed

as you look in the mirror, see the reflection
smile at the beauty upon you
let their words be muted, as a deflection
and love yourself in the sunshines hue

shall I cast my line from this pristine sight
let the flow take my bait, rid myself of blight
the serentity of the water. can hypnotize the mind
quiet trickles smooth the stones, daydreams I find
little creatures that scurry past my feet
such a roadblock wont keep them from their destiny
their sense of being, an amazing thing
and the wonderment that they bring
as the breeze and the suns wink fades deep
the moon reflects at me, from this steady stream
Its smile talks to me in silent conversation
saying, the line of hope resides in your
own revelation

the twilight of life that has set upon you
will never dim your radiant glow
those rays you emit, have touched us all
and always turned our gray skies blue
those flowers you planted, the seeds from you
have grown strong and mature
their roots grounded firmly
such a testament of your beautiful hue
the coldness of life, only warmed your heart more
there was never an exit sign in your mind
your loving touch, always a constant flow
if ever the thought of abandoning us showed up
your resolve grew stronger,your love even more
and now the flowers understand, your man's message
has reached you
" come join me now, the flowers will be alright
I have a place for us,I'm sure you'd like
I've had a long time to tidy it up"
with that said, you can resume your love affair
forever and a night
you can watch your flowers bloom so bright
they will always be in your sights
you can still nurture them from afar
everyday and everynight

we are trees, our branches reach out to each other
our leaves fall into lifes rapid stream, holding onto our stems
we cascade over the waterfall
thrashing about into the vortex we pop up above the mist
and find ourseleves gliding on that gentile stream of life

the moon reports to the sun
as another day awakens from
the mischievous night
It tells of tales of crazed eyes
their faces hiding from sight
the murmur sounds of creatures sighs
of noisy streets, desperate peoples blight
of bright lights, dimming hopes goodbye
of tongues licking the roofs of mouths
tasting the moisture of loves delight
of lovers entangled, secrets kept till the light
of the sleepy quietness of dreams in flight
and those not ready to say, goodnight

amongst the backdrop of the setting sun
the warm breeze gently caress my face
tree branches reaching up, to wave goodnight

the clear dark night, gives way to the stars
spattered across with the wave of His hand
such spender is awe inspiring, silent thoughts

how far away you are from me, yet so close
you are the night gallery watching this play
a twinkle here, a twinkle there, a constant

exhaustion sets in, my eyes close to dream
in the morn the gallery is empty, twinkleless
till the night brings on act two

Shattered hearts lay strewn
Upon your nakedness
Empty cavernous eyes
Deep dark never ending
Cadaver stiffness cold and still
Many have tried defeated in shame
And the parade goes on

year after year, lap after lap, I'm trying to catch
someone I think I should be
and if I do, and cross that finish line first, what then
am I the hero for that day, then I have to keep repeating
sounds exhausting
I'm more of the horse and buggy type
moving slowly but surely, taking it all in
enjoying each day I have to the fullest
the race will end and the flag will drop when He is ready

slowly ,I'll add the soft piano chord to the background
with the high c note suspended for ten measures
then bring it down to catch the melody I get from you
the words you phrase are little notes that tingle my senses
they dance in front of my eyes as I lock them into my memory
as I play them over and over again when I think of you

this thin line between the mind and the soul
can become askewed
with all the whirlpool of thoughts
bout things we knew
yet anticipation runs wild with all that is new

the soothing sonnet of the humming bird's song
reminds the heart that the past is long gone
and realize that it's here I belong

the trepidation of the future quietly goes away
fears and uncertainties have gone astray
waiting on the illumination of better days

in this valley, tween the rolling hills
the echos of promise is instilled
perhaps now I can find the will

Empty hallways, forgotten voices
pictures hang, dusty and off balanced
cobwebs spread from door to mirror
a young rat scurries past the broken floor

His portrait still hangs over the fireplace
a spider runs down his well-shaped nose
each brush stroke is thick and sculptured
dust collects on it as sand dunes

The windows cracked,the night air blows
dead trees peer down at slamming shutters
howling dogs are echos past
his spriits surround the acre

This house, this legend infinte
remembers it's myths fool false illusion
truths and lies untested questions
of how he lived alone from living

Oh, my mind is at peace, atop this moutain peak
the air so crisp and clear, it renders me weak
looking at the horizon, and illusion captures me
a silhouette of you dancing, to the night to be

so vibrant is your sway and the lightness of your feet
bouncing effortlessly from each star you meet
a gentle touch from your fingers lets them twirl so sweet
as they twinkle and wink, for all of us to see

up here my thoughts are vacant, the debris is down there
my smile is wide, yet the corners drip tears
and up here I try to reach you, to comfort your fears
I guess what I'm really saying, I wish you were still here

as I walk amongst this silent path
hundred roses lined pretty in a row
the dew on their petals, are teardrops
from my eyes
each step taken, is a memory long ago
precious time remembered, heavy hearts
slow the pace
wishing all along I would catch a glimpse
a smile and a wink to satisfy my soul
yet the fragrance of the roses
is all that is left, to let me know
you are still here
so I'll say hello, as I always do
knowing you walk this path with me
always guiding me to you
you are part of my heart I won't
let leave

spread out, oh, blacken canopy
let the twinkles of design shapes
and mysteries
capture my thoughts on this night
wintry night
the helpless branches, reach for the earth
as if to find the radiant glow of warmth
but the ground is in a sleepy slumber
in winters months
the slightest wind leaves me in a shivering
exhaustion
the numbing of fingers, non blinking eyes
a caution
enter your abode to warm
winters whiteness paints the earth pure
once more
let the sprinkle of green, encourage our hearts
the newness of spring,the rebirth it brings
finds your happy melody,you can once
again sing

perhaps you'll stumble upon this write, for it's just for you
and see i am true to my word, wanting to start anew with you
there'd be no more playing with your heart or confusing your mind
i realize now that you think, i'm the best you'll ever find
the tears that trickle down your cheek, i know it's because of me
the guilt when i see them, has left me to realize we were meant to be
an apology is in order, as i wipe those tears away
but you smiling and holding me, theres nothing more to say

Nocturnal eyes, pierce the night
their form hidden from sight
rustle sounds, no shadow to follow
back and forth, in perfect rythm

The pendulum of thoughts restart
the mind relaxes the heart

Two fingertips, inches apart
merge, become hand in hand
where a new live began

each minute is sixty seconds
each hour is sixty minutes
each day is twentyfour hours
time without you
an eternity

between the sentences and paragraphs
were the commas and periods are misplaced
the chapters end in question marks

It seems ,you and I, are two of a kind
We ventured into love, again, one more time
our hearts beat fast, when they are near
all our lonliness we collected, dissapear

time and space collide, energy released
such a blinding light mute our senses
we want to be swept away by their solar whispers
feel the galactic ****** being pulled from us
an ever expanding passion that will never end

yet time is a constant and space is a vast place
our energy of love for them, dissapear to a black hole
so we search the universe for another blinding light
in hopes for an ever expanding passion that never end

between the sentences and the paragraphs
were commas and periods are missplaced
the chapters end in question marks

Floundering winds whisper
Through hearts holes
Meek attempts to close them
In wails of pity
Devastation of the minds trust
Seems everlasting
Each new interest seems ghostly
See right through them
Time and loneliness erodes
What has been done
Strength rebuilds to sturdiness
Pulls up from the abyss

Oh the raven, that taunts me
clutching the heart he stole
circle above me, his cawing so bold
go ahead, try to intice my soul
your taunts are futile, I feel no more

this aloneness  is real, my comfort zone
no daggers to pierce me, just a silent groan
there are no litmus test to prove me
am I right or am I wrong
or that stamp upon my head, that I belong

perhaps tomorrow will be a better day
the gray will finally fade
I'll start all over, again, this time
search for anything to fill the lines
of long standing questions in my mine

the tranquility of the night is set upon me
the calm air lingers, the last soft note of mozart
harboring the scattered light of stars
my wandering mind just stares, connecting the dots
the softness of your touch, impales my heart
your siren whispers infitrate my thoughts
the weakening of my body, surrenders to you
and my murmers, only you can understand
lay your head on my chest, arms around me
let us make our own dreams

as the chemical is introduced into my veins, chasing after the unwanted guest
this feeling seems surreal at first,warm,abit tingling, yet normal as can be
do your thing i say for you know more than i were to go, were its hiding
for we are partners for the week
laying on the gurney, im fitted with a mask, a crude simple device almost medevil
mouth guard in place, the humming and clicking of the machines begin
lying motionless, the invisible beams take pricise aim and i feel nothing
after some time its over and wait till tomarrow and do it all again
