Short While Away The Hours Poems

To sleep and
There to dream
In slumbers sweet embrace
To while away the hours
among lands far and wide
To walk in the steps of
Kings, Gods and wee folk
To feel sweet breezes brush the cheek
Cool sweet waters refresh the tongue
  like exotic spices
And feel peace settle upon the brow...

to be a child again
and bask in innocence
to saunter and meander
to while away the hours
to expand the moment
and live wholeheartedly 
every second of every day
pure magic and sheer wonder
ah to be a child again

Silence and seclusion
I'll take them any day
Upon my face, there peeks a grin
Now, I can have my way

Seclusion is so comf'table
For me, myself and I
This precious time predictable
I'll sit and wonder why

And silence - I know none of it
My heart begins to sing
Growing lighter in this perfect fit
My inner thoughts take wing

So leave me with my company
To while away the hours
Withdrawing from the summary
Of influential powers...

The scent of you takes me
To a place when we were free
To do and be what we wanted to be
When each day was a memory 

I still want to call your name 
And see you smile knowing our game
So when the band plays our song
I want to close my eyes and sing along

Show me that we can live again
And have each moment to make amends
And while away the hours in each other’s arms
I want to again explore your many charms.
