Subject: 10 Years Worth of Writing partt 1

"Like the wind"

My ancestors said,
"The moving spirit does not make for a happy man"
The Cowboy life, who would've known?

Wandering
Searching for home

Roaming
alone

Dallas
St Lou
Dallas
Carolina too
Dallas
European hills
Dallas
San Franciscan chills
Dallas
now Alabama fields

Friends scattered to the winds
Praying true love waits round the bend

Deception Theft and Abandonment has been my lot
I pray for peace, and an end to this roam
Whom Where When Will all of this stop
I pray someone someday will call me, home

"Dreams of Late"

My dreams of late
have theme
of reocurring
things

Spiders
GIANT
8 feet
or better
across

On the building window
trying to get in
circular mouths
pressed against
teeth to saw

a small gun
I inject
a web of my own
tangles their neck
black and spun
falling off

till another comes

Dream
of marriage and school
familiar names
different cues

Im rich,
it seems
postpone a small wedding
then she ends it all
the name didnt fit the bride
I didnt recognize her,
AT ALL!!!

"Banal"

The thought of love seems so banal
distant
an illusion
a memory of a dream that once consumed all I was

It comes in waves
calms
then overthrown
awash amidst the foam
turbulent

All seems banal
a shell
echos a sea
sound within
a chambered heart
mirage reverberates
the sound
due to shape

simple physics

"8/11"

I know the girl in pink
She dances and drives the beach
shoeless

I know the birds too
They often speak
In my dreams
Listen

To them

I drink
the sea water

Where I lay Our rose

and the seagulls rose

2 above
followed

The purpose
In porpose form

That day

I let her sleep

In the sunset
we go

following the light
to another day

Tomorrow
Only time knows

"just..."

With just a few words
probably not written for me
probably not written by you
but with those few words
the pain and the past went poof

With just a few words
I felt loved again
felt hope again
sleeping with an image of you
your soft head
warm cheeks
tucked under my chin
your warm heart
your sweet spirit
in my arms

ah dreams
and i drifted to sleep
with an image of you
all was healed
all was warm
and sweet
with just a few words
with just a dream
and the image of you

prolly not written for me
prolly not written by you
but it was beautiful
it was sweet
it was perfect

with just a few words
with just a few thoughts
with just a little love
for me
written by you

"Veil"

What am I waiting for?
What lay around the corner
While I lay in bed

Wondering
Wandering
What is love

Who and Where
When the How
she lies
longing for me
in distance
in memories
beckoning
my touch
where
I reach

Tell me sweetheart
To touch and taste
there
here
and
There...

side by side
take my body
be my guide

for just the breath from your lips
soothes my soul
side by side

through the veil
reveal yourself
only your love
remains a secret sealed
to be opened
with my caress

"Angelique"

Velvet Curtains Torn Draped
Over the screen
begins the wheel turning

clickity clicky
tickity tact

the light appeared

she grew quiet
silent
reaching
the moment past

in angst she waited
hesitating
to voice to her lover

missin you
3 dreams
within you

you too
love you

draped no emotion
velvet rubbed down
in a swing satin gown
she sighed

I love you
good-bye

"magic"

There must be magic
in something so resisted

inside yearning
consuming to be combusted
fire rose the phoenix
wings spread wide
arching high

to release
quivers

one arrow lain inside

shivers a peace
rested her heart
flowing down
upon the Bradley

"Second hand"

Second hand clocks
to second hand locks

tocks to talk
of spaces unwalked
in sands of time

wasting away
waves

of dear hearts
and love left lost
forgotten

to be renewed
as ashes in fertile soil
wanting to give birth
to their fire

ignored
distant flames
in diamonds

forgotten flickers
of crystaline angels
wanting to be held
in light
where every refraction
is a smile
of rainbows

waiting patiently
for the box to be reopened
unlit
a love
to be spoken
examined
tasted
sweet to the tongues
wet drops the dew
deep within soft petals

waiting
where no tear was wasted
once upon a time

when clocks stopped
to talk their tocks
in unity
for times second hand walk

"In Full Spectrum"

How the mind does ping pong
in 24 hours time
from love's fancy
to shameless doubt

life fate
destiny
consecrates
the stepping stones of a new path

Sherlock would say
the simplest answer
must be the truth
as Watson raises a careful brow

dreams die as quickly
as they are created
and just as fast
resurrected

the ying and the yang
we sing, we sang
to the swing of life's tune
on the balance of liberty

"The Illusionist"

The days go on
and these flights of fancy
rise and fall too fast
too numerous to count

these mysterious words
from the great unknown
behind masked screens
by fingers unseen

the last drip of sap
sinking to suckle
promise of a new lover
disappears into the mist

without a word
to their material cause
the cryptic fades
and is replaced

by another...

"Hidden"

Restless Pictures on silent walls
Hidden in boxes
A darkness calls

like quiet love
unseen
unheard

far better
much less
than he deserved

restless pictures
like tear drop walls
fall
in hidden boxes
where no one calls

Pray the prayer of deliverance
may God seperate the wheat from the chaff
may your enemies be scattered unto the winds
may they flee before you

as the harvest draws nigh
may he bless you with your true brethren
may your house be filled to over flowing
with love, grace and peace

to those that serve and love
the one true God
and the three fold spirit
of the trinity

may the blessings, gifts and presence of the Holy Spirit
be with you today and forever more
may your steps be numbered
and your path be clear, free from pitfalls

may the bones of your enemies be crushed
may they be filled with shame
for there is salvation for those who seek it
Seek it, breathe it, drink it

and you shall see
you shall hear
you shall speak
and you shall walk

with his presence
his strength
his peace
and joy

forever more

Amen

"For those that know a god they understand, they have created unto themselves an idol" ~Augustine

"Violet Sky"

The rain came
splattered
scattered
tapping drops

prisms absent of
sunshine's rays
shaken from a dream
passed towers clocks

nesting
nuzzling
neck
and nape

silken
surrender
sweetened
escape

to dreams
of tenderness
and soft brown
locks

"Colors"

Color me a painted sky
brilliant radiant clear and blue

Color me clouds
soft silent in peaceful drifting hues

Color me a scene
of friends I miss
of fervant smiles
caressed with a kiss

Color me my father
warm and giant
jovial laughter
that shakes the tyrants

Color me a dance
with joy and freedom
a soul feeding rhythm
holding my partner
carefree and bonded

Color me a smile
anxious at my door
nervous hopeful with joy
that makes the heart soar

Color me a soul
kindred and sweet
to release all my joy, love, and excitement

Color me a new memory
laying beneath the stars
embracing for warmth
wrapped in the passion of mars

Paint this scene for your love's sake
a mutual feeling
beautiful beginings together
can make...

WHOLE

"Her Words"

He touched her words on the screen,
of her lover's kiss,
their hands entwined,
for she knew not how...

His heart tensed for a second,
then relaxing, tears began to fall,
from his lazy eye,
the one that cries.

She knew of it all too well,
but he didnt know why it weeped.

He didn't know her,
he could barely remember her face.

It seemed his heart had it's own memory,
of something it could not let go of.

The tears wouldn't stop, though no images filled his mind,
Her face was now clouded, but his heart couldn't tell time.

"The difference..."

between fantasy and reality,
love knows not.

What the mind may know.
the heart does not.

"Find Me Here"

Find me here in walls that hold no tears
Hear my voice where there are no fears

Be my guide
perhaps my bride

In this place of new beginings

Find me here
Something new
Something "borrowed"
Something blue

A voice rings true
for you

Begin anew
where there is you

Where rings can be exchanged
and hearts rearranged

Find me here
Draw me near

Marriage can be written in these shades of blue

"Good Night Dear Boy"

Rest your head, dear boy,
Dream of a love and peace in a gentle lullabye.

May you wake up to hope
and the smooth caress of a soft heart.

Sleep, dear boy and let time move all things,
forward
to all that has been promissed to you,
you so rightfully deserve.

May fairies with healing wings mend your heart,
admidst this night's slumber.

Good night dear boy and know that love awaits you...

"whispers"

She whispers, "Go to sleep"

"I am asleep"

Tiss but a whisper of a dream
Soft and Silent
Warm and Silken

A touch to my skin as she passes by
The rustle of a satin's gown
fills with scent of jasmine hair
answering my cries

She whispers in my ear,
a sweet lullaby...

"Love and a kiss from your angel,
dear child.
Dream of me, peaceful, loving, gentle,
and mild.

I sing sweet songs of graceful melody
My thoughts and wishes for you, of me

Dream of my touch laying here in your bed
Your love's not far from your road weary head.

Don't move
Don't fret
Rest here next to me

Closed eyes reach out
your darkness flees

So rest my sweet, as I caress your face
As sent from heaven, my heart's Godly grace..."

Tizz but a whisper, of an unfulfilled dream.......
