I have looked up on and down
I came crashing down 'till dawn
My Gaze is Fixed on You
My strength gone in my youth
Now I look up, my Gaze is fixed
The World is no longing for my faux
My ice blue eyes
Ice blue eyes ~ gaze lovingly at you
Radiating ~ joy to all I see
My motto ~” show kindness to all”
A smile chases all the blues away
Blue butterfly ~ flutters by
Such beauty to behold
I love nature, wildflowers, trees,birds,bees
All radiate God’s love
Stop what your doing ~ smell the roses
Be thankful to be alive
You are enough my friend
The world a better place because your in it.
Put on your coat or hoodie like me
Let’s go a walk in beauty that surrounds us
Autumn is springing forth
Awesome colours to brighten your day
Upon a ridge
In misty blue
A lone tree sways
In song.
Dew drops race
A morning chill
Calls upon the dawn.
Seasons change
Rearrange
A flowers dream
Is gone
A skyward gaze
A quiet place
Reflecting
A long lost song.
Within the wind
fluttering grass
murmurs
a muted hymn.
A thousand blades,
a thousand braids,
all of it is him.
In the breeze,
sun-baked leaves
sink
unwillingly.
A blistering blaze,
a faltering gaze
singes
the lonely tree.
In the clouds
an old man smiles
his face lit
by the sun.
Pupils chase
a sinking flame-
paradise?
But a bittersweet escape.
The evening seas
beckon the moon,
stars wishes
burn abloom.
A fluttering gaze,
dissolving rays
seeking
A long lost face.
The lone lighthouse on an empty sea.
The man peers endlessly but finds no sail.
Loneliest tears conceal a burning heart's decree,
Hanging on like a wraith's echo, sipping tea.

Let the gaze fold, softly shut,
a moment held—
a slow tide of breath that enters and leaves.
Within you, gently,
not demanding or rushed,
who is left there to judge?
For in this stillness the past can hold no claim.
Is it your imagination,
or the drift of fallen leaves
like papery whispers outside the door?
They gather, dry and scattered,
smelling of dust and worry—
magnetic forms of the lower mind.
You have been here before,
cloaked in yesterday’s echoes,
ruminating on the creases of time
carved like ancient riverbeds
onto an aging, fragile face.
Look out to the unveiled skies
and see the light moving across
without apology—
this endless flow where truth is found,
and the ego’s frantic season
is stripped away as illusion.
Heart, unmoved, by Love's purview
Now, bursting, wets a face.
At once, on infinite space
And fixed solely on you.
Beyond the deep of my imagination
And from anguish of soul,
This love of mine knows no boundary
Endowed emotion as whole.
Within my heart lies a sea of Amity
Full of devotion, calm and bright,
Gaze of mine remains bound to you
Your glimpse of joy fuels its light.
Did you notice
That our flirtatious hellos
Fell upon the sun’s prying ears?
How she shoved
The storm clouds aside
For a better view?
The gelid March rain
On the asphalt
Was the perfect stage
To swallow your colors-
A kaleidoscope
Of moss, earth and gold
Spilling
Into my lungs
From the whirlpool of your eyes
A down pour
Worth
Drowning for
Until it wasn’t
Truculent waves
In your mood
Sent me looking for shelter
Wholesome flattery
Crashed into me
But the taste was awful
Immediate
Rejection
From my insides
I couldn’t meet your gaze
Until the nausea
Cleared my head
I’d be lying if I said
I remembered
The color of your eyes
Gazing at it means I love it, but staring at means another plan!
Could be good could be bad could be short could be long could be sweet or not!
the night was amazing
I spent it star gazing
venus star was big and bright
ambiance felt just right, just right
I spied what might have been a u.f.o.
stared at awhile, it had an interesting glow
it disappeared before my eyes
I continued to stare into the skies.
It all came fast, a sudden start,
I wondered why I won your heart.
The days we’ve shared are still so few,
Yet everyone brought smiles with you.
The beginning remains a mystery unknown,
Your touch, a presence still not shown.
There are times you face a question’s weight
Your eyes ask why – unsure of fate.
But eventually, you’ll feel I’m yours to stay,
No what-ifs, no buts – just hands that won’t slip away
Your gaze becomes my forever’s light
Your arms, my rest through every night
Why you? Was it the meal that you lovingly made?
Why you? Was it the warmth in every kind gesture laid?
Why you? Was it the laughter we both freely shared?
I choose you – why not? You’re meant for the road I’ve prepared
The sun sets
like a solo performer
Her soft gaze
Captivates the audience
She never had to rehearse
She's done this before
Knows the script like the back of her hand
The silent director
leads his final scene—
The starlet takes her bow
She kisses the ground
All her color leaves
As the ending nears
The earth stands still
She hides backstage
Never hearing her applause
Before his virgin eyes, she was made whole.
There, secret makes transparency the goal-
For pain to learn of gain's worth,
With regards to value's birth
In respect to caring such daring soul.
The long boats head to sea,
Full of nets, bright sails.
We tarry at the morning shore;
Dragging the waters under our feet.
Our hands lightly touch then toss,
Away with each stride, each step,
Side by side in a rythym.
Together and seperate between
Heaven and earth, a dance
The salt mists touch our lips
We pause, into each other,
A moments gaze, a brief encounter
Where love is laughing
And we hold tight.
That gaze, once turned
Smiles upon me forever.
Those eyes, once burned
As stars never go out.
This earth one keeps
Sunblest for day, though set
Yet in song; in perfume yet.
This earth, moreover
Clear for night, against Time's will
Still pain-assuaged. Tranquil still.
