Willow

The heavens examined my longing Willow
Epitome of Excellence and Beacon of Truth
Without Fault - Our Willow
Never the Time Fighter
Peppered in change - Blossoming in continuity
My Willow
Striving for her - everything for Willow
A song of young elegance
The beaming sun rose just for Willow

My Ballot

I cast my ballot for Destiny
My dreams halted
My mind behind bars 
An inconsolable thought
I greet Destiny with a tired smile
Destiny stares back at me.
She perseveres.
We meet in the middle 
Of a fog
Hand outstretched, overfilled with serenity
I am solemn
Solemnly tranquil 
as our hands intertwined
I live vicariously through Her
We are linked by the Fates.
Our lives.
No longer separate or singular
Thankfully and longingly
I regret my monotonous life.
A life without myself
Without Destiny
I slip my ballot past the gate.
I vote for my future.

The Name

A hum of a name - whispered as a solemn prayer
Lingering in brisk summers eve
Gracing the tree tops and blessing the grasses
Dew collected on fallen petals
knelt - 
Reflected in the dew-ridden daws - my love
All caution to the wind
All I do, for you
My love, My Sue
My Destiny

Pursue Me

Perhaps I was born to pursue
Always a seeker - a finder
Because I am not - And I will not
I am a seeker
Although not a contest - victorious
A forever state of mind

Perhaps It is my fate
Looking to crystal
Destiny set in stone
 - forever alone
