lost, absent, vanished

stolen and destroyed

jealousy and revenge

wreak their evil end

and in the aftermath

plots for reprisal birthed

revenge not served cold

but hot, searing boiling

blood […]

I envy

those who wait in peace

no troubled sleep,

restless hours

through these waiting years

guiltless they pretend

innocence will save them

when the end is nigh

and evil reigns supreme

In the gathering gloom she waited

ran with the foxes

collected eggs from the wild

Dawned the sun

hour upon hour until the dusk

the buses ran

she watched and at the stroke of seven slept

I dream of you

lay my head to rest

and pray

imagine the wind

is a gentle caress

a blessing from beyond

I curse the day

you walked away

my tortured soul

manufactures lies.

easy […]

her beauty draws me near

but her mind awes and inspires

its depths fathomless as unexplored seas

tempt me to dwell where I dare not go

for her wit confounds me

my tongue from which words flow like […]

your mind can soar

across the millennia

rest in quiet cozy corners

venture to heaven

fall back to Terra firma

or fly among the stars

and unveil worlds not yet conceived

if she does not […]

After today, he thought

the world will never be quite the same

she swam across the pond

and danced like Amphritite onto the sand

he envied the water drops that caressed her lissome curves

the sun […]

oh dear

oh dear

oh dear

dear me

what a time we’ve had

on this long journey

to neverland

I am lost to you

and sometimes me to you

traveling through time

I come upon you […]

I adorn my body

for you

await, yearn

your touch

my hair brushed to shine

glory pinned

so you can let it spill

to lay like sea foam on your chest

gowned in diaphanous s […]

love is not love

when it demands reciprocation

begs or bribes

love is not love

when it manipulates

demands or commands

love is freely given

with hope but not expectations

a h […]

On my way to heaven I stopped to say hello

You were going the other way

I thought you might be

for a while we traveled together

and you tried to drag me down there with you

astonished at the […]

Jack London was called to the wild

where I will not go

for the wild is too wild for me

a woman who sits on cushions

soft, pillowy, pretty

looking out windows

to the mean streets

where blood […]

linger where you belong

safe, secure, secluded

I am the mighty one

the leader

venturing to greener pastures

stay in our nest

snug, serene for me

let it enclose you

think of it not as a […]

a thousand pictures

of you and me

together

apart

they don’t tell our story

not the truth

the love they witness

is not the love we feel

No camera tells our story

the heat of your […]
