The blackest mark
The deepest soil
Staining the pure
And making unwhole... more »

Yesterday's memories, tomorrow's dreams
Where have they gone? What do they mean?
When shadows were short and sun rays long
I had no cares in the world - I belonged... more »

Celestial, pristine being
Preferring you from earth
I dreamt you a butterfly
Instead... more »

When you are under that sky
Things will fall into place
And you won't even remember
What you were asking, or why... more »

Founded on sharp and cruel rocks
Standing still but formidable
Encased in a deep and swirling fog
A gentle light calling, calling... more »

The places we go
The people we know
Outlive what we think
For life is as it is... more »

Pink and gentle hues
Scents of heaven itself... more »

Every blue sky belongs
To you
Even fluffy white clouds
I adore... more »

Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky... more »

Grasp at your heart's content
The person you want to hold
Moments you wish were longer
Express what remains untold... more »

Take your polluted air, tainted water
Embrace your filthy, cowardly spawn
Who roam like hounds the ravaged streets
Retrieve those angry, hateful pawns... more »

Soft upon my eyelashes
Turning my cheeks to pink
Softly falling, falling
Not a sound in the air... more »

Like fearsome charcoal masks
Branching across the sky
Immobile and impassive
Extending wide and high... more »

The spark of passion: chemistry
The simmering of blood and heart
The speed of passion: furious
Almost over before it begins... more »

Indeed the finest pastry
Was right inside my hand
Amidst the fancy paper
Such delicacy to be had... more »

When we all lived in the woods
There were more of us then
How few have we become
And scattered too far away... more »

But it would not die
And it would not end
On it burned and lived
Smoldering into my mind... more »

I found you
I saw you
I felt you
I tasted... more »

When the branches beckon
The daring must rise
From the sheltering lowlands
And take to the clouded skies above... more »

Because he does not want
And he does not need
His fire won’t burn for me
But that is the drive I feel... more »

Off to tomorrow we go
Inevitable it always will be
Because that is where the future lies
And to achieve it is our destiny... more »

Softly creeping in among the pines of scented green
Gently rolling over meadows to cover rocky slopes
A veil of silence, deep and brooding
Distorting vague images of deer grazing... more »

Do you hear her calling
How well she knows your name
You recognize her softness
And realize why she came... more »

You course like lava throughout
Igniting, engulfing what you touch
From the extremities to innermost
Slow, steaming stream of fire... more »

Away you raced, wind in your soul
Perfume personality, no cares of your own
Elfin feet flew over endless reaching shore
Life a music-box joyride, waiting for you at four... more »
