The purple race the tussock face
heather dwells in delinquent mist
fresh the morning waits to embrace
as the sun’s rays break to enlist.
For you are there my summer rose
against the wind your grace unfolds
nothing there is like nature chose
for the memory one remoulds.
Golden sunrise upon the morn
captures...

Streets glazed over in wintered frostings,
traffic lights reflect glistening hues
painting this sidewalk festive
As I walk, my breath floats before me,
not unlike a ghostly apparition,
then disappearing waiting on the next

Footsteps striding to the song in my head
“You and me” that is our song… 
Chills converge, though...

Oh my beloved,
this life can be confusing.
A plethora of recycled emotions,
sometimes result in false devotions.
Absence wounds with nostalgic reflections.
Secluded souls yearning for old satisfactions.

Oh my sweetheart,
sometimes we feel like trees in Autumn,
exposed to the harshness of an apathetic Winter.
We battle the storms, remaining defiant until...

Perched on an altar of stone,
Enduring the weather of time.
	She waits...

A marble heart laments,
Sorrow...forever etched...as,
	She waits...

Her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope,
Embracing her lonely stand.
	She waits...

Immortal expressions of yearning,
Shaded by the garish sun...as,
	She waits...

For a moment...happiness embraces her, 
As she gazes at a seagull...

Wheels of life overtake busy hours
racing along fast highway of time,
and jammed thoughts forget sunset’s delight
while roses, once in love, stoop... tires fizzle,
even when the hills fondle the peaks
of embossed leaves, there are no hours
for leisure on the streams, not yet.

Still, when evanescent light
envelopes all...

She waits in traffic while running her errands
singing along to the car radio,
then waits in lines at various places
smiling at faces she doesn’t know.
Evenings, she waits for her husband 
cooking dinners she knows he will love.

Later, inside a room made for waiting,
she writes poetry prior...

I see her still in twilights shroud
At visions edge she’s standing still
She lives on for me, but makes no sound
Her presence felt , a loving glow.

She watches me with sightless eyes
The look that speaks but makes no sound
Where shadows spill she lingers now
But when I...

The wind wisps through the sheer lace drapery

masking the entrance of the arched window

ruffling the flowing locks of her hazel hair

poised she peers out from her red Kantha accent chair

watching the children playing hop-scotch

out on the old cobblestone drive

reminding her of days gone by

simpler times...

Today I felt my life come to an end
You took the best of me without a thought
For you was it just a game of pretend
Within your web of sultry I was caught

I don't believe that you ever loved me
Is it possible that I could be...

The past,  a memory covered in fog
As shadows hold court though they come and go
A silent movie without dialogue
A dark play with tears is now a freak show
You caused the stage to go black, in shadowed form
Where tears that fell silent tried to hide
And...

Vows sworn for a sacred true commitment,
lust has become trust lost in just two weeks-
I’m living my days in pure resentment,
I'm no longer able to think or speak.

Our sanctioned safeguard torn from your appeal,
your foul hunger left you starving for more-
My passion and honor could...

My dearest love, I hope this finds you well.
You said you needed time apart to think.
My world has shattered, and each day is hell
without you! Into nothingness I sink.  
I know how frightened you’ve been to commit
to our relationship.  And when you said
you...

The lovers are gone,
their love and bruises taken with them.

Here, the farmer's son
struggled with the nobleman's heir,
so innocent and so brave
he fought for his maiden's honour,
in the field where he'd courted her
he broke his bones for her,
and lost his heroic battle
but won his magnificent war.

The...

in Pando's shadow a young maiden sings
wander'd to and fro peat bog feet sloshing
auburn locks adorned in daisy crowned rings
quite unaware that something was watching 

one with thick skinned carion heart at core
to scavenge Middlemist's red camellia
he too delivered from far away shores
a renaissance ratel...
