Mother Earth in her splendor.

the thunder is jarring me;
Echoed by the tide

pulling on my restless soul....

This morning feels like ignition to the restless soul.
I’ve lived so long grounded, sole to earth and tires to black asphalt.
Oh meshing gears and anklebone. The road, my life, my load....

Wind chimes ringing in the gentle breeze,
The sound puts my restless soul at ease.

I sit and listen to the metal tubes hitting together,
I think I could easily listen to this relaxing sound forever....

Restless Soul of Sea
somersaulting waves rupture
Tsunami drowns Love.

floating on waves
my boat anchored in the bay
sunlight growing dim

to my restless soul
the sea played a lullaby
I joined in the song

reflecting on life
I suddenly felt serene
content with nature...

A Beautiful Prison 

A beautiful prison
Is an illusory place.
At first you reason
And then you pace.

It starts out sublime
To the restless soul
And, all in good time
You’re left with a hole.

Chaos 
Can’t quiet
The restless soul

Tears 
Won’t wash 
Away the pain

Anger
Won’t drown
Out the sorrow 

Fear
Won’t release 
The scared heart

Doubt
Can’t subdue
The wounded mind

Loneliness 
Makes 
The heart ache...

Wandering feet never do know respite,
for wander they must, far as they might.
An unintended consequence,
husband, child, white picket fence.
There are places to be,
wondrous sights to see.
My restless soul,
never whole.
Scars made,
fade.

Home



Hues of twilight melt to embrace tranquil darkness,
Only to find a solace after wandering is put to harness;
Moments back home when very air soothes the restless soul,
Every morning croak of raven is a feel of heaven.

Dear patience, hold my wetted tongue,
And rouse my restless soul to speak;

Let not the vipers in my veins
Betray the sound of my heart’s beat;

Let not this captive loneliness
Ensnare the light that dwells within;

Cast off the serpents of the night,
And let the hope of heaven in....

Restless soul what do you seek
Not resting as you search to keep
The things that complete your life
Always wanting sugar and spice

Eternally you continue to strive
Not to be alone or unsatisfied
The sour notes found in your journey
Will not curry you in your story.

Omniscient Love


For

You

My love

I will wait

Till your restless soul

Exhumes and brings you back to me

The azure sky is a perpetual witness to

My omniscient love and the indigo nights hearken to my tears lavishing pillows

He has enslaved me.

with a glance and a smile,

he has captured my heart.

His soothing voice,

melts the chaos within.

Fleeting moments.

Escapades.

Everything seems to fall into place.

He has filled that space,

Void for so long.

He has taught this restless soul,

that life is worth living.

Too early daylight breaks
as I lie here in your arms
the wind blows through the leaves
as I fall victim to your charms
last night I was your conquest
today you are my king
forever dominate me
I will gladly kiss your ring
my eyes I will close
but I will dare not fall asleep
while my restless soul and body yearns
this memory doth en-sweep...

Cries in the night
Echoing through the trees
Whispers carried by the wind
Men sit searching for reason
Thumbing through ancient stories
And borrowed hours
Longing
Conjuring feelings of relevance
Trying to rationalize 
The feeling of impotence
Of being a man
The moon comes but once a year
While tears fill the heart 
Of the restless soul....

INCOMPARABLE LOVE

I crave no taste except
Sweet-white behind your ears.
There is no sight that calls me 
Like the glisten of your tears. 
When I open my eyes to you my sun and moon appears

Still my restless soul
With a glimpse of your sweet face!
Where is my heart's ease?
You have gone without a trace.
Come back to me--my darling spirit's grace

Restless soul smoking a bowl.  drinking  beer looking in a mirror:  in an empty room, pacing until I'm not who you knew; tapping a foot an staring   through   hind sight eyes.
Restless in the graveyard covered in snow.
question marks  label the doors I seek to know.
 Eyes  under the earth look up to darkened  soil.
Restlessness to cue me  to the future's goals....

Restless soul, hungry heart.
The weak will always call them strong.
Lies, I can’t tell apart.
Lifetime wrong doesn’t even belong.
Hope is not hate, fear is not fun.
Games of the wicked won’t get me.
I have not even yet begun,
Watch the eyes of the burgundy.
Hopeful liar, despicable truth,
Hiding the right, will show wrong.
No fountain-of-youth,
Nowhere to belong....

In summer`s eve
where all is given and nothing kept back,
she that will come, will come.

In autumn`s loveliness
where nature doles out solace
to the restless soul, 
i linger, i listen;
awaiting the sound of her footfall.

I will neither  have to look in her eyes,
nor get a glimpse of her drape dripping by to know her,
for my heart will know her
when she comes....

*Inspired by photo

As the sun sinks behind the hills
Color tints snow, where all is still
A bright sky ends a winter day
Into the night, leading the way
Highlights of beauty to recall
In solitude, a tree stands tall
Calmness reaches a restless soul
Regaining what loneliness stole
More to see than being alone
Wrapped in colors, nature has shown

Dark and safe, the sinking night
Emotions stir before dawn's light
proceeds to hide the awakening heart
be it whole or only part
Alive! Awake and questioning
the truth concerning everything

Before the moon sets down below
the restless soul longs to know
true meaning of this pulse inside
that which no one can confide

The soul retreats with morning's glow
never to find what is to know...

Dark and safe, the sinking flight
Emotions stir, before dawn's light
proceeds to hide the awakening heart
be it whole or only part
Alive! Awake, and questioning
the truth concerning everything
Before the moon sets down below
the restless soul longs to know
true meaning of this pulse inside
that which no one could confide
The moon retreats with morning's glow
never to find what is to know...
