Promise of the cemetery

I’m walking beside a garden of stone stilled angels
Their eyes are unmoving 
But their soul is cowering

I’m cut between the heat of the earth,
The burning sun and the salty sky
I can’t choose the dirt in where I will lie
But I can choose the way that I will die

There's a towering night overhead
With its sword filled with promise to topple me
I’m poised ready for the journey ahead
My legs churning
Heart burning
Away at my flesh

I’m running with the staining salt air dying my sweat
There are rows of roses left out to forget
I’m watching the rocks crumble
The angels ascend
I’m standing alone at the cemeteries end

There is promise brewing in the sea salt sky
Telling the future not where I will die
But where I will lay
When the time comes to say
Goodbye

I’m breaking apart in pieces of stone
That topple and make up my brand-new home
It’s carved with a smile
It took me a while
To realize that this is where I belong.

New Doors

New doors


Seeking council, in need of guidance.
Pen or pencil, no more patience.
Cold hard fact and solemn truth daily.
Only speak your piece and do not owe me.


Speak your mind or pay me no mind.
Go let it out if you need to shout.
Just say exactly what you mean,
And what you need,
And what you see.
This is no time to hold a mystery.


Without the God’s honest, there will be no witness,
To your digress, or rise, to becoming blessed.
So words are written down in the dumps,
Or upon high as you glide through life.
Will you live it hard and wear your scars,
Like victory bars,
Or hide from those who look upon us from afar?


A major award; a minor detail.
Lies are in the slips.
A missed step could be fatal,
So do not be little.
This is no time for conceding to defeat.
Wear that gauntlet as a fist,
And smash through clouds,
Because life is not always what it seems.


Sometimes life rocks and I am still rolling.
All legal now,
No word is stolen.
Only open,
To new doors.
Walking endless corridors.

Que the Understudy

A cornerstone he touted marvalong at his new aquistion. The large stones and medium to large stone would be expensive for pursue and transport. Yet he wanted them. On the high end of the ravine was an area, there it was flat the rocks and stones could be cemented to create the wall for a hillish type structure.Wooden and aluminum beams for frames. With a dry stacked detailed entry, with glass and wooden planks. A structure to marvel for those of our and future thymes. "Which mercies the stresses of creation might the designer be blessed" quoted the structural engineer.Yet affordments provided the limits to this project. Budget minded queries were often met with conversations that made these adventurous folk seem that someone had leaked there wondering, and an atmosphere of exploitation
could have them at the  whilm of the contractor. The halfway through scenerio where the only one who has the parts is his grandpa in another country. Him doing us the favor to cost us double the amount. Project Savioring in the backwoods drew the attention of all worldly kinds, leading folk to all ends of exploitation.

Premium Member Silouhettes Against the Face of the Sun

you were walking along a blossom carpet
holding three yellow calla lilies
i could hear the blue river running along the rocks
toward the cullasaja falls where the water raged
we were like giraffes in the rain, first to feel the drops
in our perfumed outdoor living roam

we lived a fairy tale of here and now
we lived a fairy tale two feet off the ground
wilson’s warblers sang in their series of descending notes
and now we were just silhouettes in the sunset
eau sur peau et petits fruits rouges c'était nous

at treks end morning strawberry and cream grew wild
we could see nature’s pick dancing on the clouds
as we sat for biscuit tea beneath a popcorn sky 
until the evening primroses announced another day done

time to embrace in the warmth of your silky touch
my eyes rain a sun shower on this our sacred globe.

Premium Member Life Is Change

No eyes to see
its beauty
no nose to smell 
its fragrance
opening buds 
in silk elegance 
nourishing bees 
and butterflies
coloring day
with rainbow 
and sweetening air
with fragrance
then bowing stem
to life's demands
it drops its halo 
of colors
on sparkling
morning grass
or heart of rocks
in sorrow
to ripen fruits
it cannot taste
picked by thieves
or saints
with secrets
of life
encoded in seeds
miracle of
rebirth
it serves neighbor
without lament
as programmed by
the Creator 
and if man took hint
from humble plants
switching 
from ego demands
to God's 
sweet commands
all earth would rejoice
and sing hymns of glory
to life's Creator 
Love.

Premium Member Stardust Serenade

Twinkles dust the dark's silent hush.
Silver sparks lights on soft velvet shade-
Somewhere in the vast cosmos
A baton's tap opens the stardust serenade.

The Milky Way streams in arpeggios,
The galaxies resound in harmonies,
Every star becomes a wind chime
To ring in the stardust serenade.

Constellations join the chorus,
Choirs of zodiac voices displayed,
All together in Heaven’s grand concert hall,
To play the stardust serenade.

Raise the baton, let's all be swayed,
To join in tonight's grand parade,
When the cosmic song of joy is played
In tonight's stardust serenade.
In tonight's stardust serenade.

Nebulae rise up in slow crescendo,
Planets strum bright chords to keep the beat,
Comets streak in with violin glissandi's
Keeping the score for the stardust serenade.

All the universe rocks 'n rolls in time
To the rhythm of shimmering stars,
All is one, as one and all now join
Singing along to the stardust serenade.

When the dawn begins to rise,
The baton falls, calls diminuendo,
Stars begin to fade, bidding farewell
To softly close the stardust serenade.

Raise the baton, let's all be swayed,
To join in tonight's grand parade
When the cosmic song of joy is played
In tonight's stardust serenade.
In tonight's stardust serenade.

The Lighthouse

It stands erect over the sea and land
abounding in rocks and stones, protruding
from an ocean full of water and sand
guiding its voyageurs with its lighting

The lighthouse is a symbol for those who
have lost their way and are longing for home
a sentinel at watch, never changing hue
it is a steady light for those in roam

While she lights the candle for the sailors
this monumental grace house beams its light
as the moon turns a different shade of pale
this knight in shining armor shines out bright

Erected and assembled made of brick and stone
a masonry of strength, it always stands alone.

Premium Member An Autumn Tarpaulin

Thoughts of the past beneath trees shade deep sighs
as leaves rain above relax ambience.

A mountain gravel path laced in pigments
freckle crimson, copper, and honey gold
striking crisp blithe as soft waves of fluttering
pinnate leaves still battle for existence
on living limbs, an autumn tarpaulin.
The rise of dust beneath the evergreen,
the rushing timbre cool river against
gravel and rocks banks deep flowing downhill.

A moment adorned in an heirloom time
a bouquet of many autumns that chime;
joy of many early dawns.
Mother deer with newborn fawns
arousing out epic world in springtime.

A Beach Lagoon

Gorgeous day, it's mid afternoon
Bored, looking for something to do!
Oh, I was just invited to
A beach lagoon, a beach lagoon

Crystal blue waters, ease my mind
Unleashing my creative side
Poetic versus organized
Time to unwind, time to unwind

White sand like silk between my toes
Makes me want to rip off my clothes 
Keep on my mesh shorts I suppose
I stand in pose, I stand in pose

Many shells like the angel wing
Skipping the waves, flat rocks I sling
Sun tan is beginning to spring
The pain it brings, the pain it brings 

Intoxicating scenery
Secluded from society
Just me, myself and poetry
Feeling set free, feeling set free

Sun starts to fade, the moon appears
Just about bringing me to tears
This day has quickly disappeared
Now in my rear, now in my rear!

Premium Member Walking the Razor's Edge

Cursed with misadventure
       and persisting hardship,
  he still walks the razor's edge
        And he walks through
              shards of glass
      with both feet bleeding.

        He's stubbed his toe
      on one too many rocks
            making his way
  through the bumpy pathway
  of life; despite his struggles,
  he remains resolute in spirit.

     He encounters mountains; 
many stand towering over him,
      but he never turns back
        or gets around them.
        He keeps on climbing 
              to the summit.

         Life hasn't been kind.
  It has thrown him curveballs, 
       it has beaten him down
       and tested his resolve,
               yet he smiles
               through it all.
