Evermore
While wending my way one sunny day
in no particular direction
on stopping for reflection
I took a look at flowers by the rustic fence
beside a gnarled old tree
and was amused to see
beautiful colours and textures
which it seemed to me could only be
a painting picturesque
packed with pinks and reds yellows too
while beyond there lay
a field of green beneath

The Angel called Evermore
An inspired dream I dreamt
In the distance she stood
A visceral beauty from empires unknown
Floating on a cloud of illuminating luminosity
Emanating serenity of the Almighty and Divine
A glorious incandescent everlasting flame of Universal Hope
As she gazed through her beautiful twinkling eyes and held mine
She whispered in soft dulcet tones as the translucent grey smoke swirled
Keep the

9-11 Everyday
I wait for the sound of keys at the door,
A prelude to your eyes in mine,
For your presence to affirm me more,
Like the timeless aging of fine wine –
Left un-tasted now, ‘til evermore.
The paper awaits your keenly sage
Review in comforted, shoeless wit.
The subject ever stays unchanged.
At least you’re spared reliving

Love Me Evermore
Inspired by Glenn Hughes song " From Now On"
In the whispering breeze I heard the birds sing
for you as the sunburst sky flushed your face.
How endearingly attractive you were then to me,
mesmerized I knew, but you had no clue.
In the seamless sky of my fervent yearning,
I let the enraptured songbird of heart soar high,
glide

Miss Tawny Evermore
~
Dressed in almond taffeta,
a salted evening throw
With satin slipper grenadine,
where crystal glasses flow
I dreamt of Tawny Evermore,
her hair a fired flame
And songs now sung and played for her,
shall never be the same
Her cape of velvet after sheen,
upon a braided stair
Past portraits painted long ago,
by artists everywhere
Along a paisley corridor,
its walls adorned in gold
Another haven brings

Victory Evermore
Victory Evermore
You feel you’re at the end of your rope.
You’re walking on the ocean floor.
Your eyes burn for the tears that fail to flow
and there's no sound from your cries anymore.
You feel you have nothing else to lose,
and what's left from all you've lost is meager.
Those who love you, do

Pain Evermore
Inflated lies keep me on edge.
Tender in her promise to let me down without justification.
Sweet fragrance mixed with wine talk are enough to keep me ignorant.
If I don't leave soon I might not live to regret it.

Evermore
In the depths of bloodied water
Laying in the sludge of misunderstanding
Where the mud of history buries itself
War awaits us all
Disguised and deeply present
Buried in the marrow of timeless sentiment
Hidden in the sediment of vile undertakers
Employing the caskets of our children
To testify in shallow graves and markers of hate
War is the ghoul of our fallacious goodwill
The

Perpetra
Obscure place,
under the lamp of none but He.
Of the first snows.
The thirst of the arterial, ephemeral flow.
Where echoes converge and become ghost, at it's Canyons.
O Knight of Strongholds,
where memories melt and disappear,
showing of me again bare, of bones, of One.
Be

In Evermore
In evermore the star displays
will surely show their stellar days
to planetary dwellers there
whate’er their sentient being flair
or parallels to earthly ways.
Such myriads of beaming rays,
how could they not a welcome gaze
shine down somewhere on living lair
in evermore?
Oh let us life learn how to praise,
as Nature’s artistry portrays,
esteeming all with loving care
while guardians of what we

Evermore
If the tenderest secrets are found beneath a star,
My body will be the carrier to every truth,
My eyes will be the moon behind those shinning celestials
So my lips can bare the sweetest kisses by the light of a star.
Quarrels are the darkest side of the moon in my eyes,
Each and every time

Nevermore
Here lay the broken shards
Of a glass called bones,
With it are weeping hearts
As cold as a stone.
You know you left too soon
Pending is our journey,
Awaiting is gloom.
You set fire to our kingdom,
Built a castle with the ashes,
Kept the crown, holding the matches.
The story continues…
How you fought battles,
Ablaze was you heart
Like your burning castles.
Walls are degraded

The Nothing of Evermore
War is the art of making a withdrawal at the bank
With checks written in the blood of patriots
Spending lives
Without a care or whim
Sacrificing body and soul
Life and limb
To justify a means to an end
The most vicious of my troops I send
To pillage a loot
Your cries of

Evermore
A glitter gel pen,
My captivated thoughts,
Communicates in a clear page of my notebook.
I got the bruise of blue,
And began to wonder
The paradox of living all summer
How life has become cruel and kind?
To go from growing up,
To breaking down.
The shiniest wheels are rusting now.
Like water falling in a river,
My sapphire tears,
Came rushing down my scarlet cheeks,
Got

Father Flourish In Me Evermore -
O' Father God cover me whole
In your heart
Hold me close
Remain in me
My heart, my body, my soul do impart
Hallelujah
As I flourish in me evermore
In Jesus name Amen
