A Poem ... Haunted Knowledge

Haunted Knowledge

There's a place
Where the beach is white
People laugh and never fight

Lazy days 
Dolphins leap
Bursting from navy deep

Dancing drops
Each afternoon
Singing such a lovely tune

Thrilling flavors 
Each bite and drink
Luxurious time to sit and think 

End of day 
Setting sun
Haunted knowledge "he's the one"

A Poem ... Home Early

Home Early

Some geese
Flew
Home early

Summer lake
Frozen over
Thick winter ice

Journey's 
End
Unexpected

Florida
Never looked
So Nice

A Poem ... Endless Thirst.

Endless Thirst

Grasses dance,

  Bound by root

Whistling winds, 

  Nature's flute

Lovers gaze,

  A setting sun

Afraid to stay, 

  Afraid to run

Hearts beating, 

  Quickened breath

Every moment, 

  Little death

Known path,

  Well traversed 

Lake of love,

  Endless thirst.
 

A Poem ... Winter's Net

Winter's Net 

Warped shed
Grey and bent
Years of storm
Heaven sent

Farrowed fields
Long Asleep
Snow blanket
White and deep

Memories flood
Forgotten youth
Shadows blend
Fable with truth

Glacier valley
Wide and old
Granite walls
Vast, so cold

Frigid wind
Whistles past
Winter's net
Flung and cast 

A Poem ... I Was Lost

I Was Lost

Silent sentinels of amber light
Line the streets of darkest night

Deathly still and ramrod straight
Show the path to heaven's gate

Huddled masses move in sync
Along the abyss before the brink

Slippery long is that slope
Depths of pain without a hope

Winds gust and slumber call
Easier to stop, stay and fall
 
Sirens of an almighty deep
Call the living from their sleep

Awake, Rise, find the way
The goal is clear you've gone astray

Memories of a better life
Guide the weary through the strife

Gates open; wide and bright
Laughter, tears fill the night

I was lost,  you called for me
Home at last and ever free

A Poem ... My Only Defense

My Only Defense

Eyes of green

  Look through me

Furrowed brow

  What does she see?

Wrinkled nose

  Red full lips

Down-turned mouth

  Red finger tips

Shrouded silence

  Fills the space

She’s angry now

  I know that face

Excuses flash

  Emotion intense

I’m a man

  My only defense

A Poem ... Single Soul

Single Soul

Shadows dance to a hidden beat

Eternal light and mystery meet.

Spirit, aura cadence songs

Single soul rises and belongs

Time wrapped and folded right

Third eye now has the sight

Transition to a higher plane 

Forgotten earth, forgotten pain

Mortal purpose finally clear

Beautiful single rolling tear

Run, jump,  touch the sky

Live forever and never die.
