Courage… or Something Like It Fading to white noise, sense of dreadQuestions ramble inside my headCounting down the minutes and years…Plagued with anxiety and fear. Search for meaning, nothing to seeLost bearings on a churning seaSwallow pride along with my tears…Plagued with anxiety and fear. Gold liquid courage fills my cupTilt my chin back andContinue reading “Courage… or Something Like It”

Ode to Dark Times
Ode to Dark Times Broken black clouds taunt overhead,Filling up hearts with sense of dread.Cold rain tumbles relentlessly;The future is too dark to see. Don’t harbor truth with alibis,Dark stains bruising blue crystal skies.Ominous signs of travesty;The future is too dark to see. Sinking down deep into quicksandTo hide the blood upon your hands.Overwhelmed byContinue reading “Ode to Dark Times”

Sketches of Pain Dark clouds threaten, sky splits apartFlooding emotions, bleeding heartsUgly secrets, women in chainsBroken spirits praying for rain.

As the Wind Speaks… April sun fades in crimson skies,Serenaded by catbird cries.Owl takes refuge in maple treeAs the wind speaks softly to me. Thoughts tumble down, into the fray At the end of a weary day.Golden moon rises high and freeAs the wind speaks softly to me. In a trance, dancing by starlight;Lips like velvetContinue reading “As The Wind Speaks”

The constellations point the way,Sirius beckons from the fray.That star has five points, pinpoint bright,In velvet whispers of the night. Tangled up in guilty pleasures,Show to me your hidden treasures.Colliding deep with sweetContinue reading “Velvet Whispers”
Bells on Christmas Eve
Bells on Christmas Eve Jupiter aligned with Saturnand winter took a bitter turn.Our flashlights scanned the galaxy as the hoot owl whispered softly.

Why did you leave?Bells break the silence as IContinue reading “Bells on Christmas Eve”
A Little More Wine
A Little More Wine The fireplace glows, the mood is set,Sparks ignite like the day we met.One glass of red, warm and divine…May I have a little more wine? Hot molten wax burns down the wicksOn sterling silver candlesticks.Passion burning, I’m feeling fine…May I have a little more wine? Bright stars collide as our soulsContinue reading “A Little More Wine”
Green Into Gold
Green into Gold When summer hints its time has pastSky exudes an ambient castDiaphanous moments unfoldI will follow, green into gold. When graceful willows twist and bendUndulating until day’s endWords unspoken, secrets untoldI will follow, green into gold. When oak leaves tumble to their deathAutumn exhales its frosty breathSometimes I wish for touch of coldIContinue reading “Green Into Gold”
