treacherous, misty landscape
awaits the sailor.

a stone’s throw rocks rest
ships can’t sail shallow water…
an eye lights the way

A sentinel poised above

Ever fixed light beams

tower’s gold lanterns
stroke warm sheen on war-torn rocks…

Kept calling to him
As he climbed the grand staircase
Never knew he'd died
I climbed but could never reach him
Papa turned, smiled, waved good bye

Kindling
Cradle by wind
Morph into flames 
Crescending melody
unites both spirit and soul
Refining

Seasoned                                
Embers simmer 
Tempered cooling
Immutably alive
though silence overshadows
Quiescent

Don’t promise me the world
That’s not yours to give
Neither promise me forever
When all you have to give is today
Just give me your today
And all it encompasses
And should forever come and finds us here 
Our mere presence would speak of our genuine love

night creeps steadily
adorned in dark velvet cape…
watching as men sleep

crickets sound their shrill
bullfrogs play tuba and base…
shooting stars display

day rolls in bright-bold
night in surrender recedes…
rays of gold invade

One glance and flames set ablaze
 His fluttering heart in a daze
 Like a spinning kite caught in the wind
 It has no fear of fall nor singe 
 Consumed by love’s eternal flame
 He seems a man somewhat insane
 His smiles once rare, make no retreat
 Constant  and fierce as desert heat
 Now broaden as hot flames leap

Fairies Gala

Fairies waltz on branches of oak 
In cool, misty haze of morning dawn

translucent wings laced with fine golden strands
fluttering 'midst dense new leaves
glistening in sun light


dew-drenched knarled trees  
guard lush green enchanting place...
Kissed by morning sun

intruders
turn on
sprinklers
