and the rush of the world stops

below dark rounded sky
until
The day reveals a color gray

Beauty that flows quietly free.
Free to wander through the forest.

Struggling to breathe, in a dark world of mud.
Watching death drip slow, from parted skin.
Cut from a knife, now buried in blood.
The face of betrayal now rejoices in.

My soul and rain are one
lost in despair
like an empty cold street
made of cut stone
neither ever escapes
its solitaire
languishing in darkness
both are alone!

I'm honored, if love is expressed.
From your eyes depth of spirit found.
The unmeasured distance between our eyes compressed.
Simple feeling, to understand, profound.

The silhouette of night comes,
like a soft dark rendering
Drawn on the wall of my mind
To visit, to remember
There I've rendered your likeness,
with the charcoal from our love
Left in the silent ashes

Lo! Write that beautiful rhyme, coming from within…

Oh thy heart, commanding 
The air 
With fairies and legends’ touches;
And a new face smiles, as if born in all the sweetness of yesteryears!

Their fate was sealed
A life to yield
As deaths increase

I closed my eyes
To realize
With deepest sighs
I came in peace

who clubbed it to death.

Logs melt slowly in a stone pit
Lights the night, in silence we sit
by fireside
Darkness afar illuminates,
as if the night must compensate
the firestorm
A battle of flames now delight
Claims the visual in the night
with fireflies

Sunsets from the pier
They paint a string of reds
As the horizon spreads
Soon a soft gray

To be alone in thought
Where the pier and sea meet
Away from the loud street
To await night

Finding peace and quiet
Free from a working day
On this pier I will stay
Consumed by stars

To find
And understand
To grasp cherished moments
And search the eyes

The eyes
Soft falling tears
A love quietly found
To always hold

To hold
Within this realm
And dream of tomorrows
To share with love

Majesty
is how the river pours
free from gravity the water falls

sitting still
where carved rocks are quiet
listening to the bubbling roars

to be cleansed
by a vaporous mist
that lays upon the soul in silence

wonder stirs
beneath vibrant sky's kiss
where peaceful dreams and I come to merge

The breeze at dawn has secrects to tell you,
If you listen quietly with your heart.
To  hear the distant call far in the blue,
As the horizon's sight lets you depart.
To breathe in fragrance from the dawn's sweet scent.
Measure serenity of life's content.
