PART 1:          THE MEETING

Alone one night neath lantern light, I trudged a weary mile.
Forlorn, I went with shoulders bent (the storms around me howled)
until I met a Silhouette behind a sultry smile – 
She gazed with...

Only I Decide My Fate

At times when I am dark and deep 
joy but flickering dim, 
I upon the portal keep

Braced by winter's welkin wind, 
distant clouds unfold, 
where once the roar of laughter...

And as if swans carried her light airy behind
She ran through the cooling blue vines of the garden

Into a jungle that puffed magenta steam clouds 
Circumventing cawing crowds of warning green fowl

She wasn’t startled by the beast’s bright yellow face
Nor his elongated...

On my way to work I drove upon a Work Van, 
It was advertising for Clock Repair
with am image of Big Ben with two broken hands

 The purity of our hearts
 Sparked the union of beings
 But we were young
 We watched ignited flumes die
 A flume a mother and father tried to hold on to

Cry red tears 
Cry girl; cry mom
Cry G; cry you...

An ocean flow
A river flows...
Water falls and streams
Lakes and valleys,
Blue and we all too...

Cry O cry!
It's sad hey...

Choosing the chosen one,
Purged to none

Loved to read storybooks with...

He was a knight in shinning armor,
Rescuing her from dragons.

She was a damsel  in distress,
Wore a long gown of white lace.

He was invited to her palace,
They sat at the beautiful table and dinned.

They had champagne and delicious foods,
Then they toured the palace gardens.

The gardens...

What is despair if not for love, what is this air if not her scent.
What crimes we commit for such an affair, what dangers we live to find someone so rare.
