You have not loved,
Then you have not lived your life,
Or tasted the joy of living it.
2/1/2023

Heaven is grounded upon your ethereal feet—
A garden of flowery bliss grows
Where your lithe, heavenly form roams.

Peace within
I push through closed doors
They gather everything possible
To make something
For the goal is he be nothing
I yearn for it

Scrambling through life
I want something
To reach potential
A nightmare for them
Power they have
I shall not argue
Fill my yearn

They Know my weaknesses
They attack daily
I resist only for so long
I am stronger
They suppress my power
Where is my power
Wrong path i search

Peace within
I yearn for it
The table is prepared
They watch as i ascend
Oh stop me they can

Hallo Power
I have been looking for you
This gravel road is smoother with you
Help me stay with you

They can't stop me
Peace have been earned
I hold it close
Oh please stay with me

time steals up soft in autumn’s haze
through fallen leaves and frosted morn
no longer smiles through summer days
bears dreadful gaze of mercy shorn

scribes lines upon youth’s winsome face
and brings the ache of stiffened joint
gives halting stride and slower pace
age piled like leaves does thus anoint

yet in thine eye dwells springtide’s bloom
in ardor’s dance is lightened tread
warm voice dispels autumnal gloom
at gentle touch are decades fled

for love knows naught of count of days
let the years flow as they will
unclouded passion’s flames yet blaze
I shall be thy lover still

I have no memory of breath
till we kissed
now each breath recalled
spoke of you

each moment infused
with airs of your inclination
your unfolding sigh
filled me

kiss me
once more

your lips on mine
breathe into me
my last breath
must be yours

till I return it

Playground duty, for my sins.

I catch you clawing at soil, your small
fingers tasting the earth.

You hand me a stone
you found in the muck
and tell me to keep it
because it’s special

it will keep me safe.

I can’t remember the last time I received such a thoughtful gift.
