Walk with me neath falling snow

As my heart does plead your name
in amongst the shivered calls
Crystalline of flowing climb,
snow of winter’s fingers falls

Footprints on a path of white,
longing but to find their way
To your love this eve I seek
in the place they long to stay

Faintly...

Neath moonlit heavens

Hold me close
neath moonlit heavens
Fill my dreams
with endless bliss
Take my breath,
for you I’m breathing
Let me feel
your tender kiss

Make me whole,
my heart is waiting
Sing to me
your joyous song
Show me light
in stardust twinkles
In your arms
here all night long

Good night Soupers...

Let me write a couple lines
  before I go to sleep

I promise not to burden you
  nor to make you cry or weep

Lay your face down on the pillow
  on the shoreline 'neath the willow

May you the sandman sprinkle
  with dreams...

Our first kiss whetted my hunger and thirst
I was a budding rose at your first touch
Love bloomed in the garden for me that night
With such affection, my heart was unversed
Romance 'neath a full moon... there was so much
starlight.
Passion claimed my senses;  our love extol,
I'd...

Brazenly stared within the

    irony of irrational horizons,

shadows colorlessly implanted on

             an oasis of silent sand dunes - -

       no footprints were visible in...

Twas the morn when the moon's thousand candles..
Lit a path for Lily Valley... Away from the always ~
Shouting...Never-ending midnight's darkness storm...
When suddenly.....The easterly wind lay down...
His breathy lengthy hand... Aside her flushing dew
Afore the glowing forehead... Of the morning sun...

Whilst the clouds grazed high above......

Oft' I wonder if that old sycamore tree in the meadow yet stands,
Where as youth on languid summer days we sat holding hands;
And if our initials within a heart we engraved upon its ancient bole,
Have withstood the raging storms or, alas, hath time taken its...

Smoky Dreams ‘Neath Rainbow Rings

Oh, you are so cool,
opaquely bright,
clear prism shattering
true light

				And you
				red glowing sweat
				condensed containment
				flaming tears

Draw near to me
let me consume
your crystallized
angelic plume

				I dare not
				lest I extinguish
				the molten core
				of lava’s anguish

You fall into
a silent night

				You rise upon
				a roaring light

our lives
		but aimless
				wanderings

smoky dreams
			‘neath
					rainbow rings
