Apollo’s chariot rests
below the horizon’s layers
yellow, pink, and blue.
Breathing in the sunset,
night’s chill takes the air
with chirping crickets
hooting owls
and starlike fire flies.

If we can restore vibrancy to color
stripping layers of time
to render art new
then can we lift sound particles
from memories
laid down decades before
dab a pen over words
slandering our hearts
eliminate critical noises
that chastise
til all we recognize
is a blank slate of static
where WE select
rhythm and pace     
            
compliments      feeding our lives' diorama  

                 beliefs              entangled    
                                    between      
                                              heartbeats

we become the artist
         the symphony playing remastered tunes

Stay Strong    
                                  You are Valuable
And, most importantly,

           You Deserve to be Loved

You can see all sides
Of me
But the bottom
Waiting to be revealed
To be set free
Must come at the right time
Feelings all around
And deep within
Just waiting to happen
Dare I make that move
Do I put.myself on
Display
Or stay buried
Deep within
Turn me all around
Seeing who I am
I hesitate to share parts
That belong only
To me

I love you and feel you so much
I want you and miss your touch
Oh, my new love, oh my dear
I wanna be with you, there
Darling, I need you forever!

I dream of you and I do more
I think of you and I do adore
Oh my sweetie, oh my babe
I wanna gaze into your eyes
Darling, I want you forever!

I am colored with your love
and I gave you what I have,
You are my shine and rainy days
I learn something new as always
Darling, stay close to me forever!

Words of confusion
Clearly stood
In the path of understanding
