Immortals Serenade In Honor of Death
What a sweet splendor you’re my Queen
To the living and to those who have lived
I once feared your harmless serenity
When I was a mortal a mere living fool
I once thought you are the end of man
Unknown to me you’re but his beginning
Not until we shared the same dusty bed
I saw the tremendous beauty you

Sensing Immortals
Etheric gauze brushes the skin
and I know I am not alone.
Spirits abound, tunneling through
the quantum veil, to visit me
on stormy nights.
Scent of perfume,
wafting into nostrils,
I breathe deeply, remembering...
the scent of you.
Soul’s do live on though,
visiting from time-to-time.
The angel feels different from the devils;
the human spirit is all too familiar.
Angels permeate the room with love’s

Mortal Man Mortal Woman In Love Together Seeking To Be Immortals-
As I capture your radiant beauty with my eyes
I see your soul through yours
And your spirit is beautiful, beautiful
As I touch your lips with my index finger..
Hush! my dear just brush
Up against me, come up onto me
As I embrace your mind
Holding on to your promises of joy
In kinship we do find
For you are God's

Immortals
Will we always fall?
Is that our destiny?
Will we rise above all,
Oh so carefully?
Maybe we're immortal ,
I know you too well.
We're definitely abnormal;
Maybe it's a spell.
How many lives have we lived?
Why so many?
Why were we revived?
Were we ever to marry?
We need to understand,
Why we never work out.
When will it be grand?
When can we end the drought?
Will

Immortals
immortals
words free themselves
float through lip
across vast spaces.
they outlast the speaker
live far beyond the author
travel into galaxies
and nest behind stars.
up on the backs of words
ideas, dreams, ride
these immortal creatures
once released,
drift forever sewing seeds
to return and begin again.

A Visit With Immortals
FASCINATINGLY ATTRACTIVE
ALLURING TO THE EYE.
MESMERIZED BY THE THOUGHT
THAT I COULD REALLY FLY.
FEELS AS IF IMAGINATION
AWOKE AND CAME TO LIFE.
SOARING HIGH ABOVE THE EARTH
MY BODY TOOK TO FLIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT A DREAM
REALITY DON'T LIE.
IMMORTALS ALL AROUND ME
WE WERE SEEING EYE TO EYE.
ANCIENT WISDOM

Immortals Embrace
The three shots rang out following each other
In a rapid succession ready to vanquish their target
Ready to eliminate him from the roll of the living
He drops on his knees as his assailants run out
He is not dead yet so he decides to give thanks
Lifting his hand - they are covered with blood
With no water cistern

The Immortals' Land
On the peaks of the snow-covered mountains of age
Just under the demarcation of eternity’s line, I stand
Hoping, some snowflakes of wisdom still to harvest
Before starting my crossing, into the immortals’ land!

Immortals
There are men who may never walk on water
Who will never trade our happiness for butter
Who do such mere things full of kindness
That reminds us of the Son in his vast goodness
There are men who may never raise our dead
Who into our wilderness may never be lead
Who eagerly and earnestly love with

The Immortals
Born of the light, shadowed by the darkness of time
Theseus knew, not the love of a father nor friend
Seen for the man he should be by an 'ancient' sublime
Bound by the love of a mother, whose love wouldn't bend
Raised with a mothers love in begrudging of times
Always a watchful eye and a helping hand
Scorned
