A Lily Standing On the Pathway Between March and April
The sun peeks his face out from the passing wind 
still chilly and cold, and in this air the tree branches 
stretch their arms to hold the sun as if sails on the deep and gray sky

The sun that is out of reach of a...

Premium Member Down a Piece and There
The country, people, and the village,
All equal, as if, for the first time, 
All of that gave a fresher image,
Nay, 'tis but a relative vantage.
Save fresh road, to its left bears a sign.

"A few more feet and we will be there." 
Says my brother, older...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



One Night Only
It’s been crazy these past few days
You’ve showed me so much
As your smiles pass my glance
And reunite with your soft, tender touch
Against my cheek you drag those hands
And press your finger against my lips
Come in for the temptation
Closer… Closer….. And fall back from the kiss
I...

Autumn
I missed the autumn leaves this year.
I rested while they fell.
Tomorrow is another day
we'll hear the church's bell.

The days seem slightly shorter.
The sunshine rather keen.
Closer is the horizon
and night a cooler scene.

The smell of leaves surrounds me.
A wiff after a woft.
The wind shaping the future.
My...

Dreams
Without dreams we are empty hulls, 
shells of humanity, the stripping away of the body
to live our reality.

Seeing ourselves from the top side of a magnifier,
picking up the specimen, squeezing its girth,
turning it over, seeing what happens
when you throw it against a brick wall,
what it’s...

Here Goes
You masochistic silly girl.
Why give this dumb idea a whirl?
You must be sick with human pride.
To see how others feel inside.
It serves you right if you just cried.

Oh you sweet and wonderful girl.
Your love for Jesus makes my heart swirl.
May your love to us always...

Set the Hook
Come back, come back
What I have not found
Set the hook I'm  top side bound
Just gives a little tension
Then a little slack
Oh come back, come back
It's  still hiding
Just can not see
Leaving this place 
You keep calling
Just filling me
More waters deep
Come back,  come back...

Outlaw Poetry
Outside the laws or standards
Inside my mind there are no laws, no limits
In ur world is not where my mind resides
Like a bank robber uses a gun
I use words
Stick 'em up!

Laws of poetry be damned
My words will shock the system
Some of my words aren't found...

Grand Day
I'm having a grand day
Things are going my way
The sun is shining
Don't hear any whining
And only have good things to say

I'm on the top side if the grass
Not feeling harrassed
I'm in a good place
No frowns on my face
Praying this bliss will last

I stop to remember...

Am I Too Old To Dream
I look into the mirror wondering where the time has gone
I see only a shell of myself, It really hadn’t been that long                      ...
