The 14th Day of the Second Month

My marriage took place on this day 
a few thousand pages ago
nestled somewhere in between 
a wistful dream 
and some silly reality show

We started out like frick and frack 
the joker and his queen
There were no better suited 
For the things we’d plan and scheme 

Friday night was the night
to savor a fine bottle of wine
Sharing stories of our childhood
short quips line by line

We’d turn on music and dance 
to reminiscent tunes
and laugh as we swayed about 
our dimly lit up room

We’d often stop our silliness 
and talk about our plans
For building a life we’d both delight 
as we grew older
hand in hand

I can’t remember the day 
our Fridays seemed to stop
It must have been the time 
our lives began to flop

All the dreams and silly schemes 
We’re suddenly too much
to fit into our busy lives
Our hands no longer touched

I often wonder how it is 
two as perfect as us
Would let ourselves forget 
to remember 
why we loved so much

Death To Rhyme

Where are all the rhyming poems

A sentence of imprisonment inside a world 
of unmarked tombs 

inside the womb 
that echoes out 
I think that I shall never see 
a poem as lovely as a tree...

The tree has lost its eyes 
Now shadow shaped silhouettes
A posthumous disguise

Stretching out at moments 
I am unprepared to hear
Instead of gliding through 
to warmly fill my ears

With vision plucked 
and footsteps stuck 
Will I ever dance again?
Without the muse, 
can the artist 
simply just pretend? 

miles to go before I sleep...
No easy wind 
and downy flake
For-telling of a 
Whispered 
carefully etched mistake

My mind once graced 
with pleasured rhyme
each step I can retrace

A staggered life 
to a wandering horse 
To search the endless trails 
For his sole lost rider 
what a harrowing
and sad travail !

Silent Tears

When a child cries inside 
their tears will never show 
Their life is full of masking hurt 
so not a soul will know 
The pain and anguish seeping out 
on every blessed dream 
till all that’s left is a life of woes 
flowing all up stream
To every branch and every corner 
all hope soon disappears 
The exhausted fight to one day find 
that purely fallen snow 
to echo humble visions 
of a peaceful safe abode
When a child cries inside 
it doesn’t come and go
It walks beside their every step 
a dreadful lifelong foe

There She Will Be

There She Will Be

Though the breath will leave the host 
the soul will reign 
with Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Oh what a place for her to be
Where treasures surpass all jubilee
When you feel a gentle breeze 
that holds a scent 
of prior years and times well spent 
Know she’s there to let you know 
she’s never going to let you go
Her hugs her kisses 
her loving embrace 
Will be in the sun 
that shines upon your face
Embrace the sun embrace the breeze
For where they are there she will be

The Mirror

The Mirror 

I looked into a mirror 
and wondered what I had seen 
it was a tiny child 
I don’t know where she’d be

She was no more than 3 or 4  
No plight upon her face 
No frets, no worry
An unbridled flurry 
of simple endless grace 

I said dear girl don’t you doubt 
the world is hard to figure out

You’ll find your steps will soon be drawn 
in lines along the sand
In good time it will all unwind 
your mysteries at hand

I looked into a mirror 
and there beside a chair 
there stood this youthful woman 
with baby’s breath amidst her hair

Look at you the old and new 
a speckle of baby blue

A life of dreams sewn in the seams 
of that pure and perfect garb

I said dear woman don’t you worry 
and most of all please no hurry

Beset the fullness of that smile 
all along the spotlight aisles 
yet before your feet

In every fork upon the branch 
this tree has yet to give
A life set down upon a frown 
is not a friends reprieve

I looked into a mirror 
and there held in your arms
a quiet squirming ever yearning 
blossom of your tree

Beset upon your face 
I see that hard held smile
You’ve carried those words ever true 
for this your grandest aisle

I looked into a mirror 
a star filled sky of times
The quest to all 
the worlds
wonders, whats and whys

It’s in this mirror I have seen 
each cloud of doubt pass by...
None were there for long enough 
I am sure I know just why

It’s in that mirror always there 
at the corner of each view
A recalled tiny child 
The child I call you

A Seasons Reign

‘Tis the season with all the scents
Like thistle leaves of pine ferments
Burning logs sweet frankincense

A season of reflective white 
whimsical feathered snowy bright
Crystals shape an eyes delight

To treasure kindred interludes
A time of blessed fortitude
questing for in perpetude

Peering through shadow window panes
A glimpse of heaven I do claim
Grasping onto seasons Reign

Marriage of Seasons

Spring-
Springtime birds sway through the air
To sanction a love for a lifetime to share 
In search of a sound 
that quickens their heart
To find of their very own  
perfect pitched Lark
Shaping a nest 
in a strong sturdy tree
A humble abode sprouts a loved family 

Summer-
Summers filled with playful times
Soaring together a lifetimes climb
Sprinkled with plentiful loving retreats
A life now filled all set and complete

Fall-
Leaves begin to lose 
the brilliance of green 
shaped now into hues 
somewhere in between 
Each shade they reveal 
of their shared growing tree
Each shade a reflection 
of each other they see

Winter-
Cold and stormy snowy nights
A comforting hold of a loved one so tight
Whispers together reminiscent memory
Minds tickled by the years sensory
Each leaf that once graced their 
bountiful tree
Entangled together and drift off asleep
Paired forever in a cosmic cling 
together they soar as they blissfully sing
Eternally leaning on each others 
out stretched wing

The Eve

The Eve

On this night a ball falls down from heights seen in the sky

It’s not amongst the heavens
In the midst of silent gray

It falls upon bricks and steel
A second in time awaits

A worldly gasp to yet unfold thoughts of yester years

The stalling seconds of frosted breath an ode to end the day

A wish upon a falling star a kiss to  lead the way 

A tear A tear...

A languishing yet hurried hope
for a blessed and brand new year!

Sun Bathing

Brightness of the sun 
felt slowly moving by
Fiery red 
seen just beneath 
each gently closed shut eye

Tiniest of water drops 
surface upon a golden 
skin terrain
Shimmering like dancing drops 
of barely felt cool rain

Soothing sound of waves 
an orchestrated song
Repeat inside my head 
A lullaby  
So gentle 
yet fiercely strong

Patiently awaiting 
an Invisible, unexpected breeze
To gently flow over me
A cooling yet momentary 
reprieve...

Sounds

Have you ever listened 
as a whisper lands on ear

I’m sure its still echoing 
inside those tiny drops of tears

Have you ever listened 
to unrequited love

I liken it to the roaring sound 
of a single wandering dove

Have you ever listened 
to a heart when it breaks

I’m told it’s rather silent 
but that must be a mistake!
