Little girl stranger, walking down the street,
Asking for a favor, from a boy she longs to meet.
“Will you go down with me across the street?
“Help me carry home my load, and I’ll buy you a...

Confusion, disillusion, intrusion, conclusion,
Such is life’s ever-changing, smiling face
Ferocity, atrocity, generosity, velocity,
A whirlwind of emotions, a fate you can't erase.

Alienation, fascination, cancellation, race-relation,
Seeking understanding, longing for a deeper connection.
Enduring, procuring, assuring, alluring,
In this journey of...

(Verse 1)
She's a sight to behold, like an angel on earth,
With eyes that sparkle like the stars' rebirth.
Her smile shines bright, a beacon in the night,
She's a country boy's dream, a heavenly sight.

(Chorus)
She's a beautiful...

The Way of the Wind

I am youth. 
 I follow the wind only to live, play, jump, imagine-today.

Not knowing where it leads to, young, no worries, only to find my inner being yearning, 
longing for...

This cloud hovers over me...
You consume my every thought..
Your body..
I behave like a good boy to get a taste..
I walk with a purpose...
To get to you...
Shrouded in nothingness and darkness..
Stripped of my pride.. my voice.....

I'm blessed to have landed in mother's quilted arm.
To romp in a sandbox with other blessed hearts.
I'm blessed to have a gentle souled father.
Who dusted off a cluster of first heartaches.
Pulled me firmly up from...

Half of love is adventure and half is fun,
tomorrow there is still this art of our own,
nature seems to favour a conscience to turn,
life and it's dream to be already flown,
how often I wish to...

Winter days take hold
 keeping us hostage to the chill and cold
 in forgotten youth of early spring
 leaves us only time on which to cling;
the shadows dark and gray
 inch thru the windy rain...

When all is well:
love lasts, adventure winks, and flesh is wrinkle-free —
no one thinks of hell.

Hands touch and lips express,
untortured by death;
the sun and moon do bless.

Yellow tennis balls in motion.
Muscles on court, in sea...

Our Twenty-Nine
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

You have been my darling for twenty-nine
Traveling state to state, place to place
My partner, my lover, my valentine.

We’ve had and held on in good times or bad
We’re not rich, nor poor,...

Sometimes I am bothered by the haunted heart in him
He hides the person from deep within,
The kind who fears regret now tries hard -
Defying mistakes as cautioned as he maybe
Disguising loneliness in fraud of falling...

They say that living is a disgrace
those who worship the dead
I never felt that way
I love the adventure of life
it does not contaminate my soul
the way it does my body

the Gestapo order the violins
while the...

I need to find a reason to smile again
And find beauty in a flower
	For now I only sneer at them all
	And my stare makes many cower
I want to discover my long lost zest for life
And...

I see you over there
unable to move your feet
those throes in your toe's
holding still that inner heat

I smell you though
it's that scent of attraction
just come get some DOE
I don't hunt for collection

I'm not on safari
but...

To intertwine
Look beyond
On which you long
His love we do capture
Through every variance he flowered
We chose to honor
His love was adventure
All respect goes to you Father
Above the beauty of queens
Through fine tailored seams
The Lord eyes which are...

A snowstorm is coming. 
A big pink malignant mass on the weather map.
People panicking hoarding booze and gas.
I've got my shovel and old northern muscle.
I'm more than up to the task.

My doe-eyed neighbor seems unconcerned.
She's...

A dream catcher

I would like to be a dream catcher
to inhabit in the dream castle
I would pursue
each beautiful dream in my soul
and every night
i would come to you 
and knock at the gate of your...

(for: the poetess with the golden pen)

So child-like, so soothing,
Dreamy eyes shyly speaking
Of warmth & gifts & praise,
Like a sweet & lovely prince!

On the fertile soil of his heart,
Shoots young affection: sweet,
Pure, calm, gentle as...
