The Rogue
Your eyes revealed
what your mouth
would not ~
I found the subtle lie.
You are clever,
without a doubt,
but I have seen
too many suns set
to be enchanted
by sunrise now.
Keep your distant intrigues ~
I have no need
for stars that
fall
without benefit
of Night...
Flourishing Faith
Flowers bloom in dreams of peace
They inspire the soul to shine
Vivid vision will not cease
For its mission is divine.
Arrowheads
You stab at me with your sarcasm
I wound you with my words
We circle each other, engaged in battle
drawing blood with each strike
You corner me, seemingly victorious
but I parry and pounce with passion
I back you into the tightest spot
you've been in since your mother's womb
and as I draw my sword
to end the battle,
somehow
the point is lost...
As the Shadows Come
Fear the Night ~
for it will steal
your courage while it sleeps ~
shadows hide
your secret dreams
that sunlight never keeps.
Stall the Dawn ~
for you still need
the safety of the Dark ~
'tis not secure,
in vain, I plead ~
it always leaves its mark...
Testing the Distance
I wonder...
will you hold me close
or press back, all too aware
of elapsed Time?
Has the Dream
survived intact
or has it been just Dream
& not Reality
for too long?
I have often wondered
at your memory,
filled with the warmth
it freely inspires...
I have yearned
for the touch of your Voice,
the sound of your Soul
as you reached across
Time & Space
to hold me:
my mind counsels caution;
my heart has already taken Flight...
Lessons of Spirit
I have learned
the Grace behind the Beauty,
the Truth within the Soul...
we are Teachers of Creation,
Disciples of Life.
Whispers of the Heart
speak the Language
of Infinity
& will not be detained
by the Boundaries of Time.
There is a Star that shines
& will not fall...
it is in your eyes.
I have discovered
a Voyage of Destiny...
the sea is calm & constant.
The Flow of Life
cannot be altered
by mere Mortality...
we are more than our bodies Believe...
Sorcerers
We must inspire
the World to grow---
not in size,
but perspective.
We must quit wading
in water too shallow
and plunge
into the depths
of Imagination.
We are Breath & Life
combined,
but we breathe destruction
too soon ~
we must believe
in the energy of Earth...
The End of the Trail For Us: Return of the Warrior
You come to me with Sorrow
apparent ~
in your eyes, I see,
but I will keep
the silence of Compassion.
You hold Time on a leash,
but who leads
& who follows?
You seek to control vision,
but you dare not look
into my soul ~
what do you fear?
Soldier of my dreams ~
Guardian of my Truth ~
remove the armor
that keeps you
from my beating heart...
excerpts from: For Blake ~ A Fellow Poet
...No, we are not alone ~
there are voices scattered all along
this hopeful Horizon,
an astounding assortment
of solo voices that wait for Harmony.
Someday,
our voices ~
& our spirits~
will rise & join together,
a chorus so enchanting ~
so beautiful ~
that the World will stop
& listen in reverence & awe.
Until the moment of Triumph arrives,
we must be content
to sing unto ourselves,
to know that our Song
will be ~
must be ~
heard by all.
It is sometimes a struggle
to rise to the occasion,
but rise, we must ~
for there are those
who lie in darkness,
waiting for a hand & heart
strong enough
to lift them
into the clouds,
to help them
find their wings...
These are very fond memories...
