Breathe Close To Me
Breathe close to me, let not your head droop 
nor your face grimace in fierce grief, 
for when I must leave, all will not leave with me, 
I promise....

The memories we made together 
will sit safe inside your mind's nest.
I'll leave the photos too: I...

CLOSE TO HER HEART


when father passed on
one lady was all broken up
in his pocket a necklace
at the home mother wears the missile
close to her heart

Keep Me Close To Your Heart
keep me close to your heart ,while you're gone
because you are the only one
which my  thoughts will recall

Its those lips that'I'll miss
and  your early morning kiss
Its your hand in my own
and sweet whispers on the phone 

My muse a dress of mourning
without you...

Close To You
hanging so close on the clothesline
touching like lovers new
I yours and in silence yours mine
something we never do

Our thoughts might be along those lines
in dreams are more than close
Yet on the clothesline we are fine
touching and no one knows

When You Get Close To Me
When you get close to me
I feel life within my soul
No walls to climb
No bridges to cross
Our souls best friends
My heart synchronized with yours
Beating as one
Unguarded 
I entrust it to you to keep safe

When you get close to me
My skin flushes
Expectant of your touch
My heart...

The Universe Close To Me
I was not alone inside my loneliness
I had company, stars flowers and birds
But when you came in my life
I saw the universe close to me.

The Nuts Fall Close To the Tree
In the dimmed theater, the stage is set
not for a play though, yet a performance 
one of baton, brass, notes, timpani 
the performance I have waited for has come

As the stage lights grow brighter like sunlight
the theater grows dimmer yet, almost dark
but for the brilliance...

Close To Perfection
When I am around you I can feel the truth
You begin to speak and I can only focus on you
No pain no sorrow and no regrets, Just you
Your eyes are like the peaceful forest of nature
Your smile is the smile of an angel sent down...

On a summer day I say to you,
let us go to the hills and see
the rising sun paint the snowy peaks gold,
listen to surging streams serenade to the stone.
To the blue hills we go,
the snow is gone, the streams are silent.

On a winter day I...

Premium Member Too Close to the Edge
Memories of a bleak childhood haunted him ever and anon.
Whenever he thinks of that dark day, a thousand blades cut through him.
Shocked by the ferocity of that memory, his mind still goes insane.
Old wounds are bleeding, as their scabs are scratched.

Born so poor, his family...

I walked the garden path holding all the intimate hands,
nurtured in the impermanent world the hope of durability
of me loved and belonged, and me owning and retaining. 
Times changed, didn’t know why storm of dismay surged.

The garden got ravaged, the trodden flowers tarnished, 
I now...

A Tribute To Frank L. Stanton's - Lazy Chap


Rising Early From My Bed, Close To Noon



I lay about and often just wonder why
others do not rest in the by and by
Any lazy day finds me right in tune
This lazy day sings this month of June

Come Close To God
Come Close to God!

You’ll find God when you seek
 him with all of your heart...
Getting on your knees in prayer 
is a good place to start!

 A double-minded man is 
unstable in his ways.
He needs direction in 
life when he prays.

Come close to God and...

I'll keep you safe little girl, there's no need for that frown
Let's wrap you up in my towel, and dry your hair, dripping down

Come here, please don't cry, this is where you should be
The waves are too high.  Here, ... sit close to me....

You...
