Drifts Poems

Awen Drifts Through the Bard

This Cosmos knows all must escape the war.
The sky beckons peace for the Bard's journey,
Hoping there will be joy forevermore.
Music, dance, poetry--art is beauty!

Raise a cheer for nature's forest bounty.
Let's gather memories that are gleeful!
The green woodlands breathe with vitality
And gift to us a rocky pocketful!

Awen drifts through every breath of nature,
Kindling the mind with

In a sea of time, my soul drifts like a leaf in the wind

In a sea of time, my soul drifts like a leaf in the wind,
Memories are ice sculptures melting under the rays of forgetfulness,
Silent betrayals are strips of silk that cloak my heart,
Days begin like sweet dreams and fade like candles in the night,
I watch the years flow like rivers that can't find their course.
I carry

time drifts on by

time drifts on by
spurring memories
autumn rain

Love Drifts

Brackish nerves languish and latch 
like seashells clinging to the shore—
something in the water pulls them in…
some fervor from something 
Familiar and Ancient.

I’ve seen your eyes before… 
on too many arresting horizons…
how light hits your features,
colliding waves of my senses,
twisting my inner bitters—
wringing them out to the tactless tide.

Bitters melt in the salts…
nerves narrow and

A Thought Drifts By

    A thought drifts by
       on the breath of the sky
    Not knowing if ‘tis a treasure
    nor having time to measure
       I add it to my supply  

    where

When Dawn Drifts Into Enchanted Meadows

*When Dawn drifts into enchanted meadows,
listen to the choruses of birds’ song.
Feel on your skin the wind that softly blows.
Hear the crickets too which with birds chirp along.

Right before Dawn has arrived, maybe she
will paint the sky with orange, and I know
sometimes you might be fortunate to see
Dawn bringing to the landscape a warm glow.

When dawn drifts into enchanted meadows

The meadows are charmed and filled with delight.
Presently steeped in the darkness of night
The cool air is warmed as a new day has begun. 
She peeps over the horizon, hail praise to the sun.

I settle to watch, inspired by that instant moment, 
When night gives over to day, a regal bestowment.

All becomes visible in a

When Dawn Drifts into Enchanted Meadows

When dawn drifts into enchanted meadows,
Soft golden hues dance upon the grass,
Awakening flowers that sleep below,
Whispers of magic in the air, as they pass.

The world is still, wrapped in a gentle glow,
Nature’s symphony playing, with notes so vast.

As the sun climbs higher in the sky,
And birds sing their sweet lullaby,
Meadows come alive with vibrant hues,
Every

Today, love drifts in the air, like a silk rope stretched beneath the shattered moon

Today, love drifts in the air, like a silk rope stretched beneath the shattered moon,
The spirits of the night grasp it with their trembling fingers, sifting it amongst the twinkling stars.
It gently sways, suspended in infinity, like a phantom in search of solace,
Transforming into a constellation, it becomes the nebula where love comes to awareness.
It

On the shore of silence, my shadow drifts, a ship adrift

On the shore of silence, my shadow drifts, a ship adrift,
Waves in the night, stirring depths where silent songs break in contemplation,
I was just a step, a stray step, on the edge of the abyss to tumble,
One step and the soul would be enchanted by echo, in a whirl of extinguished stars.
I float among the

The Moon Drifts Away On the Sea

As the moon drifts away on the sea
I'm shivering in the freeze
Of a lonely breeze

Stars cascade on my mind
I'm just looking for what's mine
Pretending to feel fine

A meteor shower isn't what I need
As I'm falling to my knees
Mouthing to the heavens, "please"

Melodic memories mesmerize
As if the universe is telling me lies
Crowning me the lord of

Drifts and Promises

Your sweet breaths and perfumes provoke so,
have I found love in this drift of circumstance?

DO you love me? If so, pray, swear it on the tireless sea,
whose thrashing cold, intemperate waters will last forever. 

I swear it freely, on the sea, on breath, and on life itself 
- may both be forfit should my vow

Drifts

The wind blows them high
Sun light smiles at perfection
In their direction

Where Drifts My Mind

Far away, where drifts my mind
                      I find the sun’s forever glow
Cradled by the turquoise breeze
                O’er the tides

Music Drifts

The music drifts on a breeze
Something on vinyl is sure to please
The wailing guitar sets the mood
It soothes smooth as nectar food 

She feels the music and sways
Her eyes set and are ablaze
We meld together as one
No leaving now sexual healing begun.
