A Poem ... Lingering Pain

Lingering Pain

Yellow sun
Bright blue skies
Leafy greens
Summer surprise

Barking dogs
Children run
Laughter echos
One by one

Clouds blossom
Pregnant rain
Memories drift
Lingering pain

A Poem ... Weary Traveler

Weary Traveler

Ancient arms
Frozen still
Stretching, reaching
Shattered will

Broken home
Tumbled bricks
Time streams
Endless tricks

Grim faces
Set in stone
Tiny soul
Now alone

Far away
Family waits
Gathered around
Garden gates

Weary traveler
Finally arrives
Laughter, love
Tear filled eyes

A Poem ... Drunken Gods

Drunken Gods

Arrow straight
Deadly dart
Flesh yields
Pierced heart

Lilted laugh
Smiling eyes
Clever tongue
Love’s surprise

Perfect beach
Pleasant isle
Lovers join
Mirrored smile

Eternal court
Far above
Cupid reports
Human love

Drunken Gods
Stumble home
Leaving man
All alone

A Poem ... Cottage

Cottage

Grey skies
Golden trees
Winter’s breath
Haunted breeze

Lonely hill
Stands aloof
Rock solid
Living proof

Winter cottage
Empty nest
Ancient soul
Eternal rest

Lovers meet
Higher plain
Souls dance
Together again

A Poem ... Little Leaf

Little Leaf

Lover
Stranger
Thief

Crying
Lying
Untold
Grief

Waiting
Patience
Praying
Belief

Lost
Angry
Broken
Fief

Dangerous
Rocky
Endless
Reef

Floating
Drifting
Little
Leaf

A Poem ... Stands Alone

Stands Alone

Weathered barn
Standing fast
Years upon years
Built to last

Fields golden
Waving health
Harvest bounty
Untold wealth

Dark clouds
Burst above
Thirsty earth
Drinks the love

Happy man
Stands alone
Life’s lessons
Still unknown

A Poem ... Fog of a Dream

Fog of a Dream

Wisp'd away
Fog of a dream
Life journeys
Meandering stream

Familiar port
Angel song
Floats away
Gone too long

Yearning heart
Fills the space
Slowing now
Marathon pace

Lover's touch
Spans eternity
Resting now
on you and me.
