Sailors Follow
Those stars that sailors follow
Guiding less the sea to swallow

And the night seas black as tar
Beyond the wave a land afar

Halyards taught, blocks in tallow
Breezes fresh and salt swallow

Timbers creak, white horses foam
Callused hands and oceans comb

And the stars pull them forth
South, east, west and...

Follow Your Heart

Father Time has brought us safely thus far
And our future is not tied to some distant star.
We’ve always had each other’s arms
That kept us together and safe from all harm.

Yet, all our yesterdays now stand alone.
And we know that tomorrow is not cast...

Premium Member Footprints To Follow
Father’s bare feet left footprints in the sand
Young son followed, each step carefully planned

Tim wanted so much to be like his Dad
Always emulating, quite a sweet lad

So as you leave impressions on life’s shore
Remember your path will not be ignored

Tread gently, leave prints that make...

Follow me, my dear, to mythical shores of hypnotic dream,
Sail on my fantasies, driving passions of your zealous theme,
Afloat on tides of longing, musing on love’s passionate seas,
Vying paradise of bliss, propelling desires love-notions seize,
Savoring you in embrace romantic, ecstatic till the end of time,
Extolling...

When streams of paper roses,
bleed bitter fragrances,
evil mists of leaves slowly fall,
drifting along autumnal 
breeze of yesterdays.

And i question
unseen dirt trapped
between sharpened thorns:
what if the sun,
at the end of your horizon,
seems brighter
than the skies in my mind? 
What if days are a little longer
than the...

She dresses the land down
in a virginal bridal gown 
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille 
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal

Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee
they decorated the mountain peaks 
using all their white glitter techniques 

beat beat beat beat

pause 

one small step to the...

Premium Member The Smiles Follow You
The golden hour for rising has arrived, and there are violet roses in the sky,
So, I bid hello to you, my robust friend, as the vibrant, cerise birds float by.

The obsidian night, it was very long, and was filled with pleasant dreaming,
Like scenes from the...

Premium Member I Follow Them -The Myriads
I love the myriads of mystic stream,
and so I wade into their wonder flow
and drift with them as if inside a dream.
I follow them wherever they may go.

I long to know their depths and be immerged,
to feel them fresh and singing in my soul;
to grasp...

Lead and I Will Follow
Lead and I will follow you, across the deepest seas
Sail on tranquil waters, on our quest for joy and peace

If you lead me I will follow you, onto the sands of the shores
Make love by the rippling waves
As I present to you, the gift that...

The night is young,
the night is wild,
don't follow me.

You will find grey surprises,
you will be lost in the shade,
with no light to find a way.

The day is bright,
the day means light,
just follow me,
keep on my side.

Don' t be lost with a candle,
just follow me up...

Yes Lord I will follow You, knowing it’s the right thing to do.
To the depths of my being, I know I will be true.
I learned to really love You, and then I felt brand new.
Knowing it’s the right thing to do, Yes Lord, I will...

Premium Member Those Who Follow Me
Sometimes I walk this road alone -- Sometimes they follow me.
Sometimes the places that I go aren’t meant for them, but me.
And, as a poet, I have responsibility, and must step very carefully. 
I write of things that I have done and things that I...

When I’m sinful, as I am by nature…
   Forget my wisdom and gossip or darken
       My heart with hues of dread or desperation
   Feelings felt by a heart who is disrespectful
One who knows they’re not...

A To Z Then Back To A.(X Is Always the Hardest, Y and Z Follow Closely Though)
accidental boundaries crush despair easily, fragrant gravity heckles ignorance judiciously. 
kindness levitates mindless numerology, overt principles qualm ridiculous sexualities. 
transgressions uproot vindictive whippings. xanadu yields zero.

zoology yields xanax. whirls voice underground terrorism, syntax resonates quintessentially. 
pragmatic oddities nosedive murderously. leperous kindergartens jumble idiosyncratic 
hellholes. gyrating...
