Cold cobalt skies unfold their lanky limbs
The sovereign land awakes in zealous time
Where low mesquites abide the feral winds
Defiant blooms the lupine in its prime
Rainbugs dot the earth in velvet red
Ant lions quietly lurk in lethal lairs
Dirt daubers cast organ pipes overhead
Mockingbirds merrily try out their airs
Scissor-tailed flycatchers' semaphores flash
Silent songbirds seem incited to sing
The wispy wraith of Winter whispers past
And harbingers heady heralds of Spring
Petrichor, the smell of rain on dry ground!
Bluebonnets, the sweetest sight to be found!

Merquiene a nutty layered
Chocolate filled layered
Cake
With whipped cream and
dried fruits.
Soaked in orange liquer.
With a thin blueberry tart
or thin blueberry pie.
The Trophy of the Gods
A Night of Championship
Encounters.
Wines and desserts.
After a day of hickory
and mesquites.
Might the elegance of
Night ;sort the Champions
from the contenders.
Only contention to give
Chance, to those who stand
Before the legends of Night!
Raspberry tart and mint chocolate
Ice cream.
BBQ'd Alpaca and cous cous
With lime, cilantro, rice and cumin!
Enough garlic and sour cream
to make the smokey meat
Jive with the onions, peppers
and rice!
Sweet the romance of dessert
Of crusted bluish berried
decadance
which dances reheasted.
Oh what ah night!
Sumthangs like a
Nourish Cabernet!
Sweet,Sweet sorrento
Ah via rhine Beso!

we've got wide open space, plenty of room to breathe
down the mountains to the valley blows a fresh mountain breeze
'cross the patio stretch the shadows from the mesquites
it's my favorite time because you're here with me
work was crazy but now we are home
the stress of the day is now long gone
the CD is playing one of our favorite songs
all is right and nothing can go wrong
the moon comes up and shines its glow
we're still here dancing on the patio
you're arms are around me and we're moving slow
no place else to be, no place else to go
tomorrow will probably be just like yesterday
we're not ready to put this night away
right here, right now is where we want to stay
sampling the dessert from love's sweet buffet

the wind blows down from the mountains
whipping the prairie grass
the mesquites bend and toss
as it sweeps across
and all the thoughts I thought
I left there by the sea
have found there way back inside,
back inside of me

when the sun sets low
in the desert sky
the wind finally stops
blowing in the mesquites
the moon starts to rise
in the dark of night
I will find you here
when your dreams come
the ones that let you down
when you toss and turn
but can't shake them off
you reach and touch
a cold pillow near your own
in the dead of night
I will find you
call my name
and I will be there
reach for me
in your hour of prayer
whether you whisper or shout
say it or think it
there will not be anyone
in my heart but you
I will find you
