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

A Poem ... Belief

Belief

Wind brushes
Ancient sand
Lonely wanderer
Desolate land

Fervent stride

Leathered face
Forgotten lore
Sacred place 

Knife flashes
Deadly stroke
Offering now
Acrid smoke

Broken hearts
Clerics pray
GOD smiles
Children play

A Poem .. Till we meet



Till we meet

Mighty wall
  Stone by stone
Hides the sun
  All alone

True love
  Engulfed in flame
Loneliness, loss
  Utter shame

Devastation
  Salted earth
Agony
  Second birth

Tears fill 
  Every eye
Did she, 
  Have to die?

Treasure

  Memories sweet
Sustenance
  Till we meet

A Poem ... Defiant Man

Defiant Man


Garden flowers
Torn asunder
Hail  hurled
Noisy thunder

Forest creatures
Shiver and cry
Lightning flashes
Blackened sky

Summer storm
Angry God
Driving Rain
Earth is awed

Soaked, chilled
To the bone
Defiant man
Stands alone.

A Poem ... Another Day



Another Day


Music rises
Darkness falls
Dancing feet
Empty halls

Gentle laugh
Spirit song
Whispered love
Nothing wrong

First kiss
Perfect treat
Last touch
Bitter sweet

Restless soul
Floats away
Return again
Another day
