Journey On

Our journey will continue to the end

The sun has risen over both our waysSo many times apart, now we are one.No longer may we squander nights and days,You're my true love when all is said and done. Our twilight is not near, not coming soon,We'll laugh and cry, not let it come too fast,Our passions shared together 'neath the moon, The future's where we'll live, not in the past. The journey will continue hand in hand,Our pathways will be joined as we go on.It...

From a Distance

The dark night of a soul

Her visage glimpsed above a balustradeAnd from a distance wonderment arose.Enchanting, pristine character most staid,Serenely dreaming, peaceful, at repose. Perhaps she is not tranquil deep inside,It might be true that passions roil within.Her face may not reflect all she may hideRepressed, unseen, proud fantasies therein.  The two of us might share supernal glee,Together we should seek romantic thrills.Devotion offers ho...

Meg's New Sonnet

The odor of love fills the air

Her natural scent imbues him with a need,As blooming flowers in the fields of MayIntoxicate his mind and heart, indeed,Refreshing, craving on a summer day.His natural scent creates a homey climeIt make his body feel so safe and warm.Aromas linger from their pillow timeAt night, in dreams, she's safe within his arm. Addictive passion rises to new heights.Fierce love, desires to remain as one,Might satisfy their yearning ap...

Interstate 420

Written while listening to Live Wire Blues Power

There is no Interstate called Four Twenty,No one can tell me how to go there, now.No entry ramps, no exits one might see,But, still, I dream I'll get there, anyhow. The neon sign still glows so bright, my friend,The penguins manning toll gates ask two bits,Then lifting up the cross bar by its endThey welcome in the artists and misfits. At every mileage marker on the way,Twin speakers echo out some brilliant blues.As Alber...

Meg's Sonnet

Love that helps us through this journey

The lovely sunrise each and every dayThe chirping birds that sing without a careThe echoed laughs of children as they playThe whispered words of lovers as they share The flowers grazing by our fingertipsThe bees that sip the dew without a fussThe wind caressing both our skin and lipsDramatic sunsets calling out to us A poem of love that trips upon the tongueBaroque adagios that two lovers weave And loving lyrics begging t...

The mirror shows her form all dressed in white,So soft, demure, and precious as can be.Reflecting back her beauty, pure delight, My secret knows just what she means to me.With glowing face and smiles to warm my heart,With words assuring me she's always near,She makes me feel we're one though we're apartAnd lets me know there's nothing we need fear.We walk our path and trust we'll share our life,We make our way through per...

The world has recognized the love I feelAnd so they wonder at my constant sighs.They know I love my lover, that's for real,And weep whene'er I win, then lose, the prize.I simply must believe they understandThat no one ever loved like this before.Accepting that it's true, they think it's grand,And know such passion lasts forevermore.No one will criticize the things I write.No one begrudges what I share with them.My love be...

An ancient hollow down that twisting lane Damp mists caressed and kissed with early dew.Twas always such a deep and drear terrain Where dusty serrate leaves the oaks would strew.Bare feet were jostling piles as we would stroll,While touching sweating palms, along a path.Then innocently kissed upon a knoll And saw beyond the glen that far off strath. We dreamt of living where all joy was green,Where people didn't spread th...

Only The Best

It's taken a while, I know. All the best dear one.

Sweet echoes from the past sing out their songRemembrance of what was and could have been The dreams and fears of how it went so wrongStill conjures your missed visage long unseen. You took a treasured part within my heart.We spent a time as long lost friends of yore.That ended much too soon, not on my part,For reasons lost and gone for evermore. You live your life, do what you wish to do,Deserving your most joyous love u...

Behold! The truth revealed to him at last,The weary samurai has found the way. His fortune is fulfilled, the die is cast;With honor he shall follow and obey. His eyes can see the flowers now in bloom,They bend before the breezes breathing by.White petals drop and drift about his gloom;Upon his fervent brow his doom draws nigh. No matter if the shadow comes too soonNo worry does he feel, nor fear as yet;The way before him...

We wrestle with our dreams into the night,Our bodies never touching while we sleep.Off in the distance everything shines brightBeyond the barricades we've built so steep. Forgotten lives we lived in days gone byAnd missed emotions drifting far away.Our seeking hearts are lost and gone awry, So now we question all we think and say.Meandering these loveless paths insteadOf traveling down nostalgic trails at dawn. Forsaking...

They meet by happy chance, as life confers,And promptly comprehend deep certainty. Fate's singular congruency occurs, And both are gladdened by sweet destiny. Time passes as they open up their hearts;Send interlocking dreams and hopes to share. It matters not how separate their parts,All words and actions prove how much they care.It's understood that life is but a quest,Creating hope as best we may, till death.We seek out...

Spreading Wings

Rejoice and fly once more

With wings unfurled I seek my joy once more;The dance of love continues with my art. From fearful cliffs I spread my wings and soar; So join me now and live your fated part. Our secret rendezvous were magic dreams;No longer must we hide our heartfelt trust.Enraptured times we lived in flowing streamsOf passions breeding glee and frantic lust. Will you accept these offerings from me,As I have promised since the day we met,...

The Heart of Humankind

"The war raged on and I sat by the sea; saw deep into the heart of humankind."

When Charlotte Salomon strode off this stageShe left behind her art that scribed her grief. Each gouache painting really was a page;A side that she had read in disbelief. Discovering that dear ones self-destroyed,It was her burden to accept this truth.Confronting all of this, she still employedHer mind and skill to paint her short-lived youth. Auditions are not always held, it's true.You may be simply cast to play your pa...

She won't accept cruel censure by duress.Bestow it not upon this priceless jewelWho fills my soul with happiness and bliss,And will not be denied sweet love's renewal. No other lady shows such strength and charm.No gentlewoman holds my heart's delight.We shall rise upward never knowing harmBecause our love is pure and knows no blight. Her sword of power forces cowards out,With every pass she makes against her foe.We stand...
