The evening storm The morning sun The shining Summer – burning Fire red As ice is blue The cold wind isn’t learning That flowers bloom From buds of Spring Like Autumn leaves of colour With startling sense – Emulsified – Like blending full cream milk With melting butter. What dreams may come What loss I […]

Love more than life
Love more than life Tears over rain Laughter stronger than stress – the weaker strain Smile brighter Than eye’s refrain Arms outstretched To face the sun Heart so sore – Creates a shroud What can I do – Who can I hold – Where can I stand To void the cloud When I see the […]
Forever in between
It matters not how hard or harrowThe hindrance that I holdBut how soft and purely suppleThe helping hand I doth extol The caressing care known as compassionOpens the door to graceForever in betweenComparing looks upon the face It matters not how rough the gazeHow tough the buccaneerBelieve him when he tells you;Want for her when […]
The hallowed vest
To reach toward the pyramid Atop the burning light E’er thrust and run and tally – The trepid traveller’s flight To be void of divinity – Subtracted from the sun Brightness dwindles as time allows And peddles thoughts still young Sounding like an orchestra – The music sung by one Though whispering – a baritone […]
