Don’t Bring Me Roses

Don’t Bring Me Roses The cold mistral wind blows across the bay,Where the fog lies kissing the mountainside.Our hearts and hands entwined, we find our wayTo the place where our deepest hopes abide. On those long winter nights, we sang in tuneWaiting for Venus and Mars to align.Whispering vows by the light of the moonSavoring,Continue reading “Don’t Bring Me Roses”

Felinity

Felinity I believe in love at first sight,My furry little feline sprite.In your shelter cage, full of glee…My heart you stole eternally. Mood swings from funny to fickle:Playful, puckish, in a pickle.Blind luck? I call it destiny…My heart you stole eternally. I held you close that fateful dayAnd helped your spirit sail away.Chase that rainbow,Continue reading “Felinity”

Dragon Hunters

Dragon Hunters Linen clouds drift by,dragon hunters swift and spry,morphing in the sky. Fluffy figures faircast their magic everywhere,marching through the air. Let’s chase the gold sunlike china dolls on the run;the hunt has begun. Through marshes we wade,hues of emerald and jade,as pastel skies fade. The darkness descends;hidden deep inside the glenis the dragon’sContinue reading “Dragon Hunters”

Cool Blue Water

Cool Blue Water Hope springs eternal in my heartEver ready for a fresh startA place for dreams and reverieWhere cool blue water waits for me.

Tide

Tide I pray like falling rain and lightHiding within shadows of nightDrowning in the shallows of prideFor I don’t want to fight this tide. My veins pulse with a quiet dreadClouds in my coffee and in my headUnleashing all the tears I criedFor I don’t want to fight this tide. High above, the sky isContinue reading “Tide”

In the Mountains

In the Mountains There is a calm before the stormBeyond the place where black winds form.Miles away from cacophony,Where the soul finds serenity.

Empty Sky

Empty Sky My witness is the empty sky,Devoid of any truth or lie.Raindrops tumble from clouds of gray…It all ends in tears anyway. Winter wallows with brutal coldAs cherished memories unfold.No matter what they do or say…It all ends in tears anyway. Behold as Christmas comes againWith scent of spruce and cinnamon.But time is cruel,Continue reading “Empty Sky”

Searchlight Soul (A Sonnet)

Searchlight Soul I woke the same as any other day,Endlessly searching for the black hole sun.A shattered world tempered with shades of gray…Searching for traces of light, finding none. I walk this long and winding road of life,Endless anxiety laced with duress.The frigid winds blow through my bitter heart…Searching for inner peace and happiness. IContinue reading “Searchlight Soul (A Sonnet)”
