Lying In the Shadows
Lying in the Shadows
‘twas only yesterday life seemed so right;
so full of color, lighting up the day,
but now a veil has covered up the light,
and turned the day a somber shade of gray.
The fields we used to roam were lush with bloom;
the summer flowers swaying in the breeze.
Like nature's beauty, love, I did presume,
would last...

Lying In Bed
Tap, tap, tap on my window, pat, pat, pat falls the rain.
Subdued light filters through the smooth fabric of the curtains.
Low rumbling of distant thunder soothes my brain.
Outside I spy the night garden, the moon flowers beckoning,
the rain's tear drops gently drip from their pink and white petals.
The crimson bougainvillea hugs tightly to the arbors...

Lying In Your Arms
Slowly, the world returns
from just the two of us.
We lay here, limbs intertwined,
bodies glistening with perspiration,
gasping for breath.
I snuggle with you
and look into your eyes,
eyes the clolor of saphire,
I see an encompassing love,
and I hope you see the same,
mirrored in my own.
I can't explain this
infinite desire I have for you.
This hunger I feel
every waking moment,
consumes...

Old Bones Lying In Yellow Dust
I awaken with languid eyes gazing at the passing dawn.
Strange light rays hover over ancient graves
Jestering- tormenting souls
Where spindled wildweeds grow
And sway over a dull domain, and
Under clouds with nimble fingers accusing...
pointing down. They pause to sit-
Brittled, splintered, to take a breath
Waiting to sweep unbright fields
Of rye and corn.
Now standing, they float away
With the rays...

Lying In the Darkness
Lying in the darkness
Nothing here to see
The shadow of my lonely self
Just staring back at me
Lying in the silence
Deafening to my ear
The beating of my lonely heart
The only sound I hear
Lying here remembering
The world of you and I
A love beyond forever
We knew would never die
My tears are never ending
My vision always blurred
No one...

Heartbeats synchronized
Lying in wait
For the union
When two become one....

Lying In the Blackest Hour
pretender kings
in hollow realms,
sullen on iron thrones,
skeletal fish
in mercurial ponds,
eating their own tails,
fractured reflections
in shadowed mirrors,
eyes following with distorted grins,
salt stained pilgrims
passing bestial gods,
lapping blood in trenchers,
and I, what have I become?
What I have always been....

Lying In Your Slumber
LOVE is perfection... in itself, eager it is open... always there for another, hides
itself from no one.
Hate knows quietly fears, knows nothing of this hides anyone it can away from this.
Look around if you would... ?
It will cry out about everything that LOVE is. Is and seething quite jealous because by
itself, yes living alone trammeled...

Lying-In-State
And the world stood still
When the liar took centre-stage
Cameras flashing
Tapes rolling
Recorders battling to take down his voice…
They all know
That lies unending endlessly flow
From his bottomless tank
Rolling off his tongue
As a bard chants royal praises…
They all took it in
Clapping for their hero
Waving his hands in the air
Smiling sheepishly
In the knowledge that the truth
Shall never...

Lying In the Sun On a Warm Day
The roosters are in full glory crowing mode today.
Some dogs are challenging them now.
Between the barks and the ruffs and the coos and the caws
it is difficult to hear the traffic on the interstate.
An orange butterfly breezes down, seemingly from a tall oak tree.
The flutter of this insect brings my eyes to the sky.
A jet...

Lying In Bed Watching the Storm
lying in bed watching the storm…
hold my hand, break my heart
quiet my soul, touch me there
wild rain will consume us
ignite my passion, rest my voices
soooth the bruises, slip inside me
flashes of light fill the room
capture my breath, wrestle my tongue
touch my burning skin, heal our pain
the wind caresses the trees
scream my name, ease the fever...

Words To Hear When Lying In Your Casket
Words to Hear When Lying in Your Casket
By Elton Camp
Lying in a casket what would you like to hear mourners say?
Words of praise or perhaps their true feelings to betray?
“He was a very good man and everyone liked him so well.
And he is going to be missed just far more than I can tell.”
“I am...

Lying In Wait
I need to find a reason to smile again
And find beauty in a flower
For now I only sneer at them all
And my stare makes many cower
I want to discover my long lost zest for life
And my love for adventure to see
Today I find I’ve little but contempt
And a trip is fraught with misery
To walk with...
