A Poem ... She Watches

She Watches

Blue sky
Yellow leaves
Waves of amber
Golden sheaves

Flying Vees
Heading south
Escaping winter's
Hungry mouth

Time flows
Endless stream
Every moment
A waking dream

She watches
From above
Memories drift
Unending love.

A Poem ... Silent Sound

Silent Sound

Laughed and talked
Loved and cried
Moments flow
Life's sure tide

Instances etched
Precious jewels
Sunny days
For giddy fools

Dark skies
Pregnant rain
Wind accents
Lingering pain

Barren trees
Frozen ground
Memories stir
Silent sound

A Poem ... In My Heart


In My Heart


Fields of flowers 

Sheaves of grain 
Blackened clouds 
Pending rain 

Birds float
Hanging there
Immobile sculptures
Without a care

Memories float 
Gentle kiss 
Summer nights 
Tender bliss 

God weaves 
Human art 
Ever etched 
In my heart.

A Poem ...Summer Kissed

Summer Kissed

Young Gods
Play again
Sunny skies
Driving rain

Colors bright
Every hill
Laughter flows
Where it will
 
Birdsong
Fills the space
Shy smiles
Poignant grace

Goddess calls
None resist
Beating hearts
Summer kissed

A Haiku ... Enslaved


I saw her standing 
on the stairs.  
Her eyes,
enslaved me forever.

A Poem ... Exhausted Soul


Exhausted Soul

White page
Empty dream
Gilded cage
Heavy beam

Sparrow song
Stumbled flight
Day long
Longer night

Mirrored face
Weathered lines
Barren place
Bitter wines

Slumber calls
Heavy toll
Angel falls
Exhausted soul

A Poem ... This Hill

This Hill


My cousin thinks
I'm an evil man
Would it surprise her
Doing the best I can

Nights of sorrow
Utter despair
Lonely prayers
Fill empty air

Beliefs shattered
Drank it up
Bitter taste
Empty cup

New road
Forward still
Hope waits
Beyond this hill

A Poem ... Not Like This

Not Like This

Strangers visit
Threshold door
Children shiver
Evermore

Modern world
Hollow place
Crowded life
Little space

Carnivores
Running wild
Chaos reigns
Devil child

Fatherhood
Eternal bliss
Tranquil lake
Not like this

A Poem ... Whispered Love

Whispered Love

Dusted white
Silent trees
Floating flakes
Gentle breeze


Ice daggers
On Parade
Dragon teeth
Heaven made

Short days
Longer nights
Bright stars
Northern lights

Snow blanket
Covered ground
Silent birdsong
Not a sound

Ghost breath
Whispered love
Reaches me
From above
