Love And Reciprocation Oft Fantasy Of Lonely Hearts
She saw such handsome features, his eyes and strong arms
She - ravishing creature succumbed to his dear charms
Her ecstasy was a river in deepest flood
Sensual passion took hold, HE was in her blood
Could ever reality break such binding chains
Or future nights denied, bring ever greater pains?
He saw such beauty, such grace in her soft blue eyes
Thinking this was treasure reality 'oft denies
His longings then burst forth like a collapsing dam
She then gave that smile that cried out, " here I am"
Mad raging thoughts came of sweetest nights in her bed
Magnificent fantasy born in heart and head!
Party over, neither had a single word said.
Moment had come, now just as swiftly, it had fled!

Torment at its finest, found me here tonight.
My love for her has blossomed, yet hers has found no light.
So many stars I have wished upon, less drops of water in the sea.
Tonight it looks like rain, so again a storm will awaken me.
I have studied all her subtleties, and how she looks my way.
I wish to know not her true feelings, for all I will find is pain.

Aspens reaching skeletal fingers skyward
Grow the ancient boreal midnight mountain
reaching rooted primacy given taken
glorious prayer

The old man peers at his photograph ,
Looking at the boy he used to be.
“Smile ! – Say cheese “ , says the photographer ,
The youngster murmurs , blandly , "Camembert"
And looks intently at the camera ,
The moment made eternal with a click.
The man looks at the image of his past ;
His image looks back ,from the page.
He sees the picture of his long ago.
The image views its future through a lens.
