When its time to  for him to sail away
like wind-blown leaves and cherry blossoms drifting in the lake

When He journeys far,as far as moons to reach
When He forgets the fragrance of Her hair

If it were up to me,
I would like to change the world's views;
On who it can afford to keep,
and who it can afford to lose.

Including many lawmakers,
who never obey their own signs.

If it were...

The tunnel seems long
Everything you have seems wrong
The darkness never ending
Your life balancing on a shoe string

But out of the darkness a light 
The brightest and most gorgeous daylight
Appears at the end of the tunnel
Your coming to the end of your struggle

At the end of...

I've got my eye on you...
 
"Don't fear my darkness"
 
For my mood reflects by the moon or sun, 
and my mysterious faces and silhouettes...

I'll go to the shop and get some food
The Sun is shining, I'm in a good mood.

The desire for you has lasted a thousand years

The sadness of loss has brought many tears

The love in our hearts has lasted forever and a day

The look in your eye makes time melt away

The sound of your voice stops the clocks flowing hand

The smell of...

Heart stops
Tick Tock, Tick.....Tock
I hold my breath and wait
But you refuse to catch my eye
Heart breaks....

Villanelle: Even childhood teenage nurture stops not the rupture

Even childhood teenage nurture stops not the rupture
No eagle first takes the plunge without daring demon death
Yet mindless mistakes make us the picture of caricature

Make just one mistake a day in the year and collect torture
Shut the...

I can hear the whistle blowing, 
two short bursts, it’s time to throttle up.
Conductor double checks, with tickets punched,

Day’s labor done and task set aside my eyes are called to the glorious beauties of horizon’s setting sun, while whispers of gentle flowing breeze bring memory of home.....cleansing my soul and signing end to yet another day so far from you.  Golden rays...

watching movies with you
i hope the rain never stops
surprised we haven't fallen asleep yet
guess we are where we wanna be
we make chocolate chip cookies
we make cinnamon rolls
we make sugar cookies
we make vanilla and oreo shakes
we put in another movie
we pass gas in the name of...

Morning breaks again, we chug out to Bryan and Carter,
at Fort Bridger, lives Chief Wash-a-kie.  
Another steep grade, snow-capped...

Wyoming winds blow like a hurricane,
the flimsy bridge sways to and fro.
Some hold their breath, some toss down a few,
‘till...
