We dance so freely neath a gibbous moon.Your pliant form yields softly to my will.Sing out on starlit nights a haunting tune;That wistful song you warble with a trill. Each twinkling star is smiling at our fun, As waking birds start chirping as we play. With fingers twined you giggle as we run,And festive acts of love complete the day.Erasing barricades that bound our hearts.And reaching out that we may join as one.With e...

Do not kneel down to me unless you care, And wish to guide my path to gentler lust, For I will know what hopes that you lay bare.Seek only that which leads to tempered trust. Caress my strings of love with tender hands,And play my heart with prodigal extremes,Thus, I will know that loving you withstandsThe foolish lashings in my fearful dreams. Your features, with their auburn hair adorned,Show dignity and grace, bright e...

The crossroads on the journey toward his goal Allows a moment's pause to judge the quest.Though all the wounds and burdens took a toll,His heart and body still should pass the test. Emotions held in check, complete the work.Accepting duty, never looking back.Behind are those who know he will not shirk,Abiding 'til he takes the homeward track. So many evil fortunes have been met, And been suppressed and left to waste away....

With trust in her all goals may be achieved, Because her faith can conquer all your fear.Forgetting all the times you may have grievedYour life will leave behind all throb and tear. With gentle touches bravery will grow, To persevere when doubting may arise.A woman's soul is full of strength, and so, You find your courage deep within her eyes. With modesty she fills your heart with bliss,Then deftly guides you down the ho...

With whispers we are guided on our quest While moving down the trail to tranquil peace. Our hearts have heard the murmur of a guest.Until we reach our goal it will not cease. We two, as lovers, bound eternallyWill make our way to earthly paradise.Thus, pointing out our path internally,Our guide has always given true advice. Preparing us for what may be our fateThe inner voice has taught us as we grew.As lovers we have ent...

A doubting sometimes causes one to askDoes anyone still truly need this art. It often makes one take oneself to taskTo see attention stop and soon depart. In words one takes great care to share ones lifeWith hopes they paint a picture from ones soul.But fewer search for insights from this strife,And so those words will not achieve their goal. It is the pleasure that one wants to share,The joy of living, beauty all around....

Slow time had passed, so many hours in fear That she had gone away and would not show. To me, once more, her face would not appearAs it had done before, with eyes aglow. My heart reached out but did not hear the voiceThat once had brought me to my knees with bliss.So painful that she made the fateful choiceTo leave and say goodbye without a kiss. Appearing now she brings her own sweet touchAnd lets me near once more to be...

The paths of trust can be most hard to find When hearts have lost the confidence once known. So many ways have hindrances unkindThat trip you up and turn your faith to stone. Each person wants the sureness of love's touchThat leads the way through trackless wilderness,And gives each lover one more needed crutchWhen life has dealt the blows of harsh duress. You'll always have anxiety addressed Because you have my help alon...

You show your face and fill my eyes with tears That fall like gemstones as my heart does quake With humble thanks that you have lost your fearsAnd let your visage grace, 'tis for my sake. No more must I with bated breath requestThat you reveal your beauty to my sight,You simply filled my thirst and I was blessedBecause I now am quenched with pure delight. I never more shall feel that I have lostThe earnest wish that I hav...

So soft and still the mist rolls in todayAcross the sea, it touches lovers there Who meld beside the beach and on the bay.They taste the lust that only trust lays bare. A fairy dust that fell upon them bothHas given to their voices magic tone,And makes each word seem spoken as an oathThat from this time they'll never be alone. The sand and surf are treasures that they shareBut paradise they find within their armsAnd faith...

The skies are open, tears may freely fall,Your sacrifice is known by those who care, So wash away the pain and stand up tall,His faithless accusations are laid bare. Be brave my love and laugh with tears of joy,Allow the rains to do what they may do,Erasing base attempts that would alloyYour heart so strong and pure as morning dew. Remember when you first were here for meWe shared a place that rarely can be found.And then...

I saw her do the dance of loss in rainAs streetlights gleamed above her hair of red Her eyes were glowing as she cried in painBecause she made mistakes and was misled. I saw her do the song of grief in gloomAs echoes of her mourning rang aloudHer tears continued as she read her doomAmong the scattered remnants of a cloud. I saw her do her drawings in the sunAs crowds exclaimed about the work she sharedHer hands were stead...

The thought that plays inside my mind tonightIs have I aged and reached my use by date?Will meeting young and lovely folks delight,Or have I left the search until too late? We meet, and kindred spirits may become,But am I much too old to share such fun?These youths are always free to beat a drum,And spread their joy beneath the shining sun. My years of learning taught me how to live.My years of living left me love to spar...

There is a tempest raging in my soul, The skies are dropping rain and bringing grief. My ship is foundering upon the shoal, As always I have steered into the reef. Smooth sailing was the way it started out. As kindred spirits we passed o'er the sea. With friendship as our goal we had no doubt, And kept the storms behind us and alee. The loss of ships is rare, this was my balm. The winds of fate had swept me far adrift, An...

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." Charles Darwin, The Origin of SpeciesI wonder why we cannot see the light?  We lose the fire and pa...
