A poem ... Java

Java

She saunters in
   Radiant smile
Golden hair
   Killer style

Friend to me
   Friend to you
She's no friend
  To the running shoe

Laughing eyes
   Our secret commune
Happier now
   I'm not immune

A poem ... Polar Light

Polar Light

Majestic spirit of the night
You are my polar light

Leaving the safety of your side

Ashamed now, I look to hide


Wandering on the road of pain

A windy, dreary endless plain


Broken, blind on the ground

Not a creature, not a sound


I feel your love from afar

Smiling from your distant star


Sensing a touch in my sleep

A gentle kiss, alone I weep


A beautiful tune filled with strife

I awake to the music of my life

A poem ... Distance

Distance

Beautiful woman

    with perfect smile 

Sleep in peace,
    dream for a while

Love radiates
    from my heart

Across the gulf
    that keeps us apart

A poem ... Greetings

Greetings

Saddam and George
Two dangerous men

One ruled with the sword
The other a pen

The pen is mightier than the sword
And Saddam earned his just reward.

Saddam when you reach your fiery hell
Ask my mother if she is doing well.

A poem ... Sprite

Sprite

Beautiful spirit skipping along
In the graveyard singing her song
 
Falling fast, I wake with a start
A haunting melody pulls at my heart
 
Like a shadow on a cold dark night
My eyes are blind,  my beautiful sprite

Now springing from my earthly bed
I wander once more among the dead.

Searching for that mystical song
And the home where I belong

A poem ... Sun Princess

Sun Princess
 

Wind whipped 
Blowing frost
Fleeing now
All is lost

Shivering

Bitter cold
Skin white

Instead of gold

Sun Princess

Far from sea
Return now

Live with me

A poem ... The Storm

The Storm

Sitting alone in a cold dark place

My heart lost in the inner space

Bleak, black darkness fills my form

Shaking in terror of the approaching storm

Too weak to stand, too weak to fight

My soul sinks into the endless night

His hand rips the shroud away

From chaos emerges a brighter day
