Just be patient trust the time,
clock on the wall simply laughs;
Frozen as these moments melt
your hurried thoughts keep spinning;
Shooting stars and a wind chime
I drink coffee by carafes;
Taken by how steaming felt
the flawless night keeps singing;
Staring at Orion’s belt
I’m stuck sitting here thinking.

ROMANTIC SACRAMENT
Send me not roses
Carafes of wine
Send me Your words
Of love divine.
Send me not jewels
Encased in gold
Send me Your words
My heart will hold.
Send me not silver
In purple so plush
Send me Your words
Oh, make my face flush.
Send me not silks
Of shimmering dyes
Send me Your words
Bring tears to my eyes.
Send me not song
I sleep close to death
But send me Your words
For my very last breath.

The sun is sinking into seas of gold
as lovers sit and talk of used to be's
carafes of wine as stories are retold
and laughter sparkles on a dusky breeze.
A glance recalls the kiss of yesterday
how passion burned beneath her silky skin
as love revealed a forgotten résumé,
desire and hunger linger deep within.
As lovers gaze across the empty sand
to where the gentle ripples meet the shore
we stand beneath the moon while hand in hand,
embracing times we lived and loved before.
Two lovers, spirits of eternal night,
entwined in love's own infinite delight.
