Lights on the river IX

Crimson scaled serpents
Sinuously slithering
Winding through the reeds

Ink Hues On A Winding Road

Ink Hues On A Winding Road 
Chapters turning 
Leaves falling 
Story telling 
Intrigued animation serine 
Deeper in every page sink beneath 
Verge of complex themes 
Rewrite unbound verses 
Limitless parallel rendered 
Lost in absurdities 
Books for miles dusty planted in libraries 
Sophisticated torrent 
All the effort is worth it 
Writers block 
Brainstorming your thoughts 
Achieve novel narratives 
Ink hues on a winding road 
Written passionate 
The love of poetry 
Turn every page, uncertain mystery 
Dig deep, unfold in suspense journey 
Walk with the author on the other side 
With greenish sunsets with mint coffee

Faith Paved Road

Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking life's long and winding road,
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with truth's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.

Six Feet Under

Where there's a will
there's a funeral
death is a fact of life
a grave undertaking
for a mortician
and one day some day
you and I
will wake up dead
hopefully the lifetime led
was of our own making
too late for looking back
no regrets and yet
it's appalling
when we wind up
in a winding sheet
waiting on that beir
aside from six feet under
where do we go
from here?
Some say, 'Heaven,'
some say, 'Hell,' oh well,
by then our goose is cooked, wagon fixed,
and we'll never know 'til it's too late
as they've punched our ticket,
cleaned our clock and wiped our slate.

Winding Up

   Spools for a day.
   Wound up with what they say.
   Tighter and tighter.
   The insanity won't go away.
   A year or two marinating.
   Chaos has won.
   Then the spring becomes undone.

Starlight in the Snow

Starlight in the snow...
Feel it's gentle glow...
Call it a feelin...
Deep within my soul!
Starlight in the snow...
Feel Winter's cold...
The future seems unknown.
Your touch completes me...
Feel your grin as we hold.
Your face does not deceive me!
I've found you today!
Starlight in the snow...
Feel it's gentle glow...
Crystalline raindrops...
Deep within my clothes.
Starlight in the snow...
Feel Winter's cold...
The future seems unknown.
Your shine does please me...
Deep in this dark and winding road...
My heart does not deceive me...
I've found you today!
Starlight in the snow...feel it's gentle glow...
Crystalline raindrops...deep within my clothes...
Starlight in the snow...Feel Winter's cold...
The future seems unknown.

Walking Alone The Winding Road

Alone I walk this winding road,
With no hand to hold, no love bestowed,
In the stillness of the night, I quietly cry,
For a future where I’ll grow old, until I die.

I know deep in my heart and soul,
That I will never have that lasting spark,
No partner to share my joys and fears,
No soulmate to wipe away my tears.

The years will pass, like sands in a glass,
And I’ll watch as others find love that lasts,
But I’ve made peace with my solitary fate,
Embracing the life I know will await.

I’ll find peace in the beauty that surrounds me,
In the songs of birds, in the wind’s sound,
I’ll cherish friendships and moments of grace,
And carve out a life that I can embrace.

Though I may die an old maid, alone in the end,
I’ll know that my heart was true, my spirit will mend,
For love comes in many forms, and I’ll hold it dear,
Even if the love of a partner, remains unclear.

So I’ll walk this path with my head held high,
And find beauty in the moments that pass by,
For my worth is not defined by who I may wed,
But by the love I give and the life I lead.

Winding Wind

Why does the wind create that howl
and with it such a sensation?
It's in your heart, your mind, your soul.
It seems to reach for your very cognition.
You sit, so still, in your room - just sulk.

The thinness of glass is so frightening;
it tries to fight the mighty howl
but cannot hold it back,
as that blow drives against your window
from the world outside, with no mercy, it seems.

Or does it prefer not to see you sulk so much?
Does it ask what's in your heart, your mind, your soul?
Perhaps this is its way of wanting you
to know its wish, its supplication.
Does a wind howl to make a plea?

Winding

Secluded in  the last visages
millenium wine washed down by punters
Pinch pockets stare sideways
Spot like eyes
being close with lilly eyed iwallets
A figurative disguise turning blase
The servant drums dance
Harlequins of night mass parade
winding seawards
worshiping the pipers
who have to be paid

Winding Road

on winding road
turning left and …
finally feeling right
away from awkwardness
forested in peace

Winding Desert Of Men

Minds, dusts merge on a running slate
Scorching sun aloft jilted men
Warming up like a sizzling plate
Winds whirling, bodies teeming ten
Trudging on a forsaken den.

A Long and Winding Road

Life is a long and winding road,
Mine follows no design or plan.
Encumbered by its heavy load,
I plod along as best I can.

No star or compass for a guide,
The far horizon is my quest.
No place to stop or long abide
Or crawl inside awhile to rest.

Other travelers pass me by,
Some nod or wave, some pay no heed.
Some veer away when I draw nigh,
And so imply no time, no need.

When I've no more time or mind to spend,
When all I've had to say is said,
What prize will I find at the end,
And will it be worth the toll I've paid?

This weary road goes on and on,
So many miles since it began.
Around the bend ahead, it's gone,
Still on I plod as best I can.

Garden's Winding Path

Deep golden orb rises in the east
Revealing a heavy frost and frozen bath
Sparrow scratches in summer's garden now deceased 
Making a way for next year's garden winding path
