Just Like the Stars

Just Like the Stars She rose with the dawn, spreading smiles,Laughter and song carried for miles.Her voice, a beacon from afar…Her eyes were bright, just like the stars. She danced across the astral planes,Neptune’s fog and Jupiter rains.Twirling beyond Venus and Mars…Her eyes were bright, just like the stars. Cold silence broke deep in theContinue reading “Just Like the Stars”

Envy Street

Envy Street On a quiet street, beneath the starlightBehind lace curtains, our secrets will keep.A private soirée, two hearts taking flight,But in the shadows, nosy neighbors peep. Prying eyes lurk behind the windowpaneTo catch a glimpse of secrets they desire.Shallow souls, feeding on another’s pain,Careless tongues spread rumors and fuel the fire. But let themContinue reading “Envy Street”

Pure Deceit

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”

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”

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”

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. Give me the splendid silent sunAs bees and flowers come undoneRunning through fields of green, so freeWhere cool blue water waits for me. Drifting down in the aqueductI vow myContinue reading “Cool Blue Water”

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)”

Bewilderment

Bewilderment Summer beckons, delights of JuneMy eyes are the size of the moonGentle breeze caresses the bayAnd I won’t let it fade away. Pour the champagne, the night is youngThe taste of passion on my tongueThe weeping willows bend and swayAnd I won’t let it fade away. My wings flutter like mockingbirdBewildered by your adContinue reading “Bewilderment”

Feu Follet

Feu Follet Down in the old South, deep in the bayou,Old banyan trees rustle in the dank air.Stars of Aquarius come into view,Strange voices whisper their tales of despair. From the darkness rose a small ball of light,Magical orbs swirling before my eyes.A feu follet glowing, fiery and white;Paranormal renderings in the sky. Tear upContinue reading “Feu Follet”
