Strangers In The Night
In the dark of night at sea-
like old ships, they pass.
One goes East, the other West;
strangers in the night.
At that moment, when they meet,
they stand equally.
Then continue on their paths-
till they pass again.

Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart
Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart
Now that I have won my love’s heart and trust,
I must prove myself as a worthy choice
And secure the fickle bond between us
When others challenge for her hand and voice.
They utter words to sway her opinion
And whisper sweet nothings into her ear
(To paint me as a loathsome perception),
Ready

Your Shore
There's a beach where the sand
Won't get in your shoes
Or stick to your skin
When you're covered with sweat.
The shore's always clean
No trash or dead fish
And the water's still
Clear enough to drink.
In your mind, I hope and pray,
There's room for me
To kick that sand around
And be with you on your shore.

Body and Soul
Body and Mind give way to the Heart and Soul.
They let the emotions take over yet remain in control.
Passion and sentiment now replace logic and reason.
Interchanging ever so slightly- as if from season to season.
Feelings flow freely, replacing all thought.
Emotions running wild without fear of being fought.
The Mind sits back

Holy phone
Have I a classic phone on my desk
The Bible book hardcovered in black
Which uses by me and the acquaintances
Whomsoever perched in the heaven
Whenever life leaves me alone
Whenever I reckon them again
I'll dial up an age-fashioned call
To converse instantly with them all
Of the moments we encounter
Or the scenes we've had together

Moonlight's Bright Tonight, Part 1
Moonlight’s bright tonight.
Let’s go outside and play
In the fields of the village.
Morning’s far away.
Still crisp air holds its breath
In silence as we watch
Moonlit shadows creeping west,
Forever out of reach.
We try to chase the shadows
Running through the trees,
Standing tall like rocket ships
Against the lonely seas.
Come along and run with me,
The fields await our gaze.
There lay mysteries

Old And New Stars
Ashes scattering
As new flames are igniting.
I am no longer
Fleeing nor hiding from stars
Of my old constellations.

Love Kissed the Sky
I just want to catch you on a date
in the middle of the ocean,
with all the running lights
on your face.
Picturing us in the sky,
which are captured
in your eyes.
The breeze playing
with your hairs.
No crowd,
no noise -
just you
in the middle of the ocean,
with butterflies.
We tell a secret,
soft and slow,
that has been hidden

I love you
Summer never stood a chance
against us, when even
in the still air our hearts flutter—
There will always be thunder
and rain, you said.
But in being in love with you
—It’s a slow dance, you and I
in crystal air, rain or clear,
under blankets of stars—
In your eyes there are
sparks only love can light,
softness only love can touch.
A lifetime

How Can I Choose
How can I make myself even choose
When I am unsure who I'm willing to lose?
How can I choose whose hearts to bruise,
When I am sure some will not refuse?

Descent to Radiance: the Catabasis Romance
Suffering is not the gate barred—
it is the gate itself.
Confusion, despair—
not obstacles, but the steps of the stair.
Raja Yoga whispers the same truth:
the stages of progress are veiled in shadow
before they flower into light.
Depression is no malady—
it is catabasis, the sacred descent.
The husk must split.
The self must fall.
Only then does the new soul rise.
The weight

With a Gentle Hand- Mystic
We saw the feathered edge of the sunset
and dreampt of an evening's wish to explore
Where the beating heart of our yearnings met
And invited romance at the seashore
Where time began to merge and reminisce
As white caps slowly furrowed the pebbled sand
The twilight revealed our heart's eagerness
When we walked together, warm hand in hand
Imagined dreams beneath a
