In September Dreams
In September Dreams Restless summer, relentless heat,resolve is burning down in flames.Their shadows searching in the night,don’t even know each others’ names. Music drifts down the boulevardand so the ritual begins.The smell of wine and cheap perfume,quintessentially feminine. Drums match the rhythm of their hearts,slow dancing on pale clouds of love.Guitar riffs float across theContinue reading “In September Dreams”

Cold silence broke deep in theContinue reading “Just Like the Stars”

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.

Tired eyes turn skyward, pray forContinue reading “Another Oklahoma Day”

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”
