Pure Deceit Behold, here cometh the pack of liars,their stench of hot air blowing greed and pride,like being trapped on a funicularstranded high on a blazing mountainside. Evil forces have created this storm,though we don’t know who’s behind the curtain.Death, mayhem and destruction are the norm;Our country is dying, that’s for certain. In the conquestContinue reading “Pure Deceit”

Warmed up by the golden sunraysWe flew high in cornflower skiesI will never forget those daysWatching white fluffy clouds drift by. We flew high in cornflower skiesListeningContinue reading “Love At First Sight”
Another Oklahoma Day
Another Oklahoma Day It’s just another Oklahoma day,the blazing sun is dropping low.The crops are wilting in the fields,the ominous west wind blows. Relentless heat is a wall of fire,draining the life out of my veins.My lungs struggle to take in fresh air,bones and muscles racked with pain. Tired eyes turn skyward, pray forContinue reading “Another Oklahoma Day”
Circle of Stones
Circle of Stones There’s thunder in the glowering skyway down in the hushed valley tonight.The sun is dropping to the horizon,the clouds refract its amber light.

The poem “Oblivious” by Colleen Keller Breuning captures a serene evening by a firepit, watching the sunset and stars with loved ones.

Sisters of the Moon
Sisters of the Moon Thunder rumbles across the land,drums reverberating in the night.I walk alone in barren fieldsto join my sisters in the moonlight. Arise, oh pagans of the northour fevered fires burn within,taste of honeysuckle on our lips,the zephyr’s touch upon our skin. Eyes scan the indigo skies,searching for the waxing moon.Gardens burst withContinue reading “Sisters of the Moon”

Surrender
Surrender Down the mountainside a gentle breeze blowsThrough the mighty maples and oaks so fair.Past the gold meadows where the river flowsNightingale crooning, love is in the air. I found you sitting on the rocks aloneAs day faded into velvet twilight.Lost in this world, no one to call your ownWhile distant stars illuminate the night.Continue reading “Surrender”
