In the hustle and bustle of everyday strife,
There are moments that bring a touch of life,
Small but beautiful, they sparkle and gleam,
Making our existence a wondrous dream.
A gentle breeze on a warm summer's day,
Caressing our skin as we laugh and play,
The sound of raindrops tapping on the roof,
A lullaby that whispers with a soothing truth.
A smile from a stranger passing us by,
A simple gesture that makes our spirits fly,
A heartfelt conversation, shared with a friend,
Words that uplift and help us mend.

Sit in a window seat
for one last look at this place
Memories on that bench...
Never thought I would be leaving here
See what thinking gets you?

A good portion of my life
has been lived here
Now, off to a new adventure
"in my golden years" pah...
Nothing golden about them now

Two bags of clothes, a shaving kit
newly polished silver
nestled in my shirt and jacket
clinging to my neck,
like the last of the albatross

In the darkness, I can see a light
though I'm not supposed to look
Pale white it shines at a distance
at thought of it, I'm shook

Full moon; I cannot help it
the draw of you like a flame
A moth am I, all fired up
I try thinking of my name

Your story has me mesmerized
the pain you've had to take
I want to hold and comfort you
But, too soon your last mistake

Aria, fairy of dusk
appearing
with the first
star.

Sweeping away
the reign of day
by her bidding.

With gentle touch,
introducing
sweet tendrils
of evening.

From which
velvet canvas
takes possession
of the canopy
as soon the
full moon rises.

First, low in the sky
horizon alight
with shy moonbeams,
she takes her place
amongst the stars...

Leaving on a train
Allows us to seek our goals
Hopeful dreams to share

Spinning to heavy symphony losing
myself weighless on my feet. Head pulled
Back enjoying the vibration dancing around

through me. My pool hazelnut eyes glazed
and dreamy. While the end of daylight overlaps
the beginning of night.

The caress hug I gave you when I transported
you back so we can both relax and enjoy the
the emotions the ecstasy your taste the drug
instilled in your honey.

Down through the valley
the forests and trees.
A ghost wind blows
through the soft quaken leaves.
A river runs through it
and moves right along.
And hurries to sing
it’s harmonious song.
The folks in the down below,
start singing it too.
And wait for the ghost wind
to gently move through!

I know you had your demons
I know that you knew too,
I only wish I could have known
Where you were driven to.

I had seen the river rising,
I had seen the storm clouds form,
And the ever present shadows
Where the darkness seemed to swarm.

Perhaps you never knew
I loved you as you were,
Now all I have are memories
That will never leave nor blur.

I won't say goodbye to you
You are with me in my soul,
If only we had one more time
Before the darkness took its toll.

Regal in her presence she sits.
Served and assisted with pleasure.
No title, no land to her name.
Beneficent, she rules without measure.
My queen, my monarch, my sawyer.
In serfdom and care I reside.
Your palace, a domain we both cherish.
Your royal banner I’ll carry with pride.
Into battle your colours I will carry.
Close to my heart in splendour they’ll reside.
Your foes I will defeat without fear.
Your strength is the steed I will ride.
To sit by your side in reverence.
And assure you, upper most respect.

A loving heart, so pure and true
Beats with compassion, through and through
It knows no boundaries, it knows no fear
It's a source of light, always near

It holds no grudges, it bears no hate
It's a well of love, that seals our fate
It sees the beauty in every soul
And makes broken hearts, once again whole

A loving heart, it knows the pain
But it never gives up, it never will wane
It carries the burdens, of those in need
And plants the seeds, of hope and creed
