Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.

Long RoadSoftly moans the blowing wind
crossing over bright glittering crystals
endless darkness lies black beneath
swirling dancing blowing white
soft as feathers downy white
soft drifts flowing softly slow
sliding smoothly across the way
closing off the un-traveled way
twisting ribbon flowing down

Love You AlwaysNow that the rain is gone,

I can make comparisons
between the stars and your eyes.
Because they shine alike,
And both carry unsung beauty.
Like an artist takes time to perfect their work,

All These and MoreI am promenading in the woods
Whistling at the birds
The rays of the sun
Now and again interrupting my vision
Then something moves
Something- like a woman
Her glamour- what say?

How very smashing
She moves, actually peacocks
Towards...

Deeper longer each time
Praying for it to stop to release

Nature and Human JuxtaposedDeep in your peaceful mind,
confusion starts.
Like volcanic eruption.
Deep down the depths,
of the dark blue sea.
Your heart and soul collide.
In Conflict, Causing a rift.

that collide and shift.
Disturbances are brewing inside yourself
Concealed by your...
