Twilight

Midst the twilight of wakefulness and sleep
Our minds meander to places shallow and deep.

They visit domains that while awake we won't go
Depicting ourselves when old, feeble, and slow.

But in only a dozen deepening breaths more
We grow wings and over mountain peaks soar.

Our free-roaming minds are rife with surprises
Letting us look behind old friends' disguises.

We learn with shock of a teacher's double life
It cuts to the quick like a long-bladed knife.

We must have envisioned scenes of these kinds
And hidden them away in the niches of our minds.

Only in twilight do they come to the fore
And make our wanton thoughts a wide-open door.

Walking Stick

Walking Stick

Drifting thoughts roll 
Through my mind
Full of rhythmic tones
Pulsing in eternal rhyme 

Arriving in scattered words
A trove of jewels glimmering
Floating before me as rare birds 
 Basking, I begin shimmering

Picking out each golden word
Carefully placing them on paper
Choice nibbles of songs unheard 
Safe from being a useless vapor

Every word is power packed
Heals hearts or cuts to the quick
Can move us on or set us back
Words are a writer’s walking stick

The Choice is Yours

Hearts be broken
Hearts be quick
Hearts heal faster
When it cuts to the quick

The memories so broken
Stand in unrepair
Why love again
Why would you dare

Is there still hope
Is there still passion
Or this time your love
Will you ration

Do you follow your heart
Or has it learned
The pain and agony of 
Getting burned

Do you love again
Trust again
Or are you a fool
And let Satan cast you
In something so cruel

Satan will keep you alone
And in agony
And your heart will turn cold
And this is the tragedy
 
For the rest of your days
Your heart is protected
But your heart withers dry
From being rejected

I challenge you now
To let your heart heal
To find someone special
And allow it to feel

Love, pure love
