Callused fingers press vibrating strings
drawing passion from a violin.
And with burnished wood snug to his cheek
the violinist plays from his heart.
Subtle vibes saturate my being
as crying strings elicit feelings.
And expounding on love’s betrayal
music stirs the imagination.
His bow hangs like a lingering kiss
savoring the taste of ecstasy.
And then with tears trickling down his cheek
he unleashes unbridled fervor.
Experiencing pangs of rapture
sound slips the bounds of reality.
And every note penetrates my heart,
igniting flames of fire and passion.

The six steep slopes they gave me..
yes, all were mine.
I can give them to you..
if you wish them.
Though they tend to be.,
unkind.
Don't wait for them to love,
or understand,
or forgive..
It's not their way.
They serve only to light a path,
show you the way.
Discover who you are, yes,
and where you come from.
It's what you always asked,
and all you ever prayed.
Don't look too far forward,
they'll make sure you're blind..
Understand that you are all that matters
not them, not us, not time.

May the sun always shine in your heart - melt away winter's ice
Always look for beautiful colors - even if you never find the rainbow
Nobody wants to experience the towering and storm high waves
Adversity makes us strong - like sailing on the sea in storm
Open up your heart - take a deep breath
Dreams you will find among the stars - where peace prevails
Let your thoughts dance between the clouds - without a worry in mind
Bring your paint brush - paint the world in stunning colors
Our world is so endlessly large
A human so little, a love so great

The birds in the garden singing their songs
They tell their story with the heart of summer
A place of silence and aromatic flowers
Where hearts dance of happiness, passion and love
This sweet moment, with blue lilies growing in edge of the road
I can not find reality more beautiful anywhere else
It is a thought of escape from the world of realities
Where my heart is resting and nothing can disturb

My blessing basket is heavy with heaven's gifts,
Tomatoes the size of my fist, eggplants so cute,
And fresh heirloom beans bursting with pride.
The sun, orange on the horizon, frames a pair of
Snowy Egrets above, wings folded in glide descent,
Angling towards their roost.
A solitary Cricket, at home in the cabbage patch,
seesaws a hypnotic greeting, then hushes
As I pass.
A Monarch Butterfly wisps past my head, enjoying
Nectar from scattered flowers. The scent of herbs,
Blossoms and love settles softly in my heart.
I know life can be hard, but this moment, just
This moment, I'm filled with such Grace from
God I only stand in humble gratitude.

her sunlight shaded with clouds
burning love shuttered in pain.
rainfalls pour down on her feet
black widow spits in demon's face.
broken mirror hangs in the wall
she sees face dirty and old.
pulling down tears one by one
rinse the wound caused by his hands.
she caves underground to feel the darkness
composed herself while brokenhearted.
wait for the morning to witness the sunlight
free her mind to feel the long lost love.
fiercefully, she ran through the door
no regrets, left her home alone.
blue and purple paintings on skin
have gone when she dance in the rain.

All I see is beauty in the burning of her words,
The flickering of flames,
Constructs of fires licking at the night
From snow white sheets of dreaming.
The senses of her bleeding, ink and roses,
Sensual vibrancy,
Gliding rails streaming to the stars,
The links between the earth and heaven’s tide.
All I see is beauty in the visions of her art,
The tenderness of angels,
Architects of chapels wrought of lace,
An arbitrary grace of love.
The impressions of her breathing, saffron breath,
Exhaling of her soul,
Bestow of sleeping kisses to the lips,
Priestess of the mind and loin.

From my life;

Cold words fall deaf upon the joyful heart
A memory keeps its meaning until death makes it no more
Her brush always spoke to me, her canvas was my souls imagination
Her soft lips, her beautiful eyes never will I forget for with her I became a man
A nightfall always brought dreams of holding her, I love her
She paints to the song that plays over and over again in her heart
I miss her more than ever
I weep to the heavens and call her name, yet she is absent from my eyes
All I have is the memories, which only God can pull from me
Her kisses always rose me to the highest point of my self love
When she held my hand I floated carefree
I love her, she is my heart and I will always remember

You showed me
I once was lost,broken and afraid
afraid of love
I once felt alone and betrayed and unwanted
felt like I had no one
I was alone in this big o world
not knowing what to do or where to go
i wanted to give up I just wanted to end it all...
Then you walked into my life
you showed me love
you taught me there was nothing to be afraid of.
You showed me I wasn't alone.
You never betrayed me.
You wanted me when I didn't want myself.
You pushed me when I couldn't push myself.
You picked me up when I fell.
You showed me that I was worth more.
You showed me how to be me.
You showed me how to believe in myself.
You showed me the real me

angst,
It's a cold, cold heart
that cannot feel
someone else's pain.
It's a heart without feeling
that averts its eyes
to the ravishings in the world.
It's a self-centered ego
that feels the nothing
but its own need to be noticed.
It's the turmoil of the heart and soul
that never knows
what it is to love.

Faith is a powerful force,
requiring absolute trust.
It allows you to believe
you're loved and never alone.
Suffering persecution,
some have little more than faith.
And yet, it's unshakable,
in times of adversity.
Praying perpetuates hope,
opening your heart to God.
And when you first feel His love,
everything quickly changes.
Your beliefs can imbue life
with a strong sense of purpose.
Existence should never feel
empty and unfulfilling.
The love between you and God
is oft rooted in blind faith.
And yet, that faith sustains you,
though some say, He’s but a myth.

Sunshine Radiance
Your love is my true sunshine radiance,
That greets me every day with such passion.
It sets my heart and emotions afire!
Words often fail me at times dearest one,
As I seek to share the depth of my love
For you and how it makes me feel daily.
The brightest of moons and stars in Heaven
Can’t match the splendor you bring to my life.
My heart is joyful when we touch and kiss!
Our love basks in your sunshine radiance!

(A Blank Verse Sonnet)
In June, we traveled south to Memphis town,
a public poets' fete with Southern flair.
The mid-south heart unfolded nationwide,
an open cloak of warmth spread far afield
in concert with the sound and sense of rhyme.
A graciousness so coupled with its pride
to sharpen all who came in studied hope
and reasoned well effect, to prove result.
Yet seasoned poets put their pens aside;
the books they found, devoured with eyes and minds
already voiced the thoughts mankind repeats,
our ageless chants for hearts in love or pain.
The weather's pull to southern ports advanced
the lure of southern charm from heart to heart.

emotions, husband, i love you, love,
To love within is like seeing the night sky,
filled with wondrous and sparkling lights.
The innermost feeling we love to treasure,
Holding hands while watching the moon.
The sweetness of kisses, the warmth of embrace,
Feeling each seconds that never will fade.
Looking into your brown eyes, my dreams fulfilled.
To love and hold forever, our promise in heaven.
Dancing in a silent music while you wrap around me.
No one could replace it, no one will do.
To love within,the best feeling I found with you.

Today fades into yesterday
upon tomorrow's arrival.
And apathy spurs denial
as endangered animals die.
Wherever concrete cities rise
collateral damage occurs.
For as jets traverse the skies
wild birds get annihilated.
We dedicate our existence
to a utopia of steel.
And survive in asphalt jungles
shadowed by lofty achievements.
Reality is a mirage
projected upon collapsing hopes.
And yet, safe in our cubicles,
we love our plastic paradise.
Our planet’s irrevocably
changing into a barren sphere.
And greed’s the legacy of fools
driven by profits and progress.

betrayal, feelings, love, sad love,
Reality's a stark place
dominating existence.
And I cannot escape it
no matter how hard I try.
I truly believed we would
be together forever.
But your lies and betrayal
tore my fragile heart apart.
Love's indomitable flame
was suddenly extinguished.
And its demise was painful,
fueling deep depression.
Fate spun a fickle fortune
spiked with ecstasy and pain.
And yet, time holds the power
to resurrect dying hopes.
Drifting dreams cannot stray far
tightly tethered to my heart.
And there will come a time when
I'll believe in them again.

baby, beautiful, love, sweet,
My scrumptious baby girl's
half-awake, half asleep.
And her toffee yawns are
sweet as caramel cream.
Her cotton candy cheeks
glow like pink marshmallows.
And dark chocolate curls
adorn her pretty head.
She sports blueberry eyes
and red licorice lips.
And her creamy face hosts
a million-dollar smile.
A confectionery
treat, she is delicious.
And gives sugared kisses
that taste ever so sweet.

When I am the wind,
and you are a leaf,
I will worship Thee
beyond belief.
Summer dances
across your skin,
when you are a leaf
and I am the wind.
When you are a leaf,
and I am the wind,
each passing day
I will return again.
If you desire
the warmth of the sun,
I will move the clouds
one by one.
You will feel the sun shine
for only Thee.
When I am the wind,
and you are a leaf.
When I am the wind,
and you are a leaf,
I will find you clinging
to a naked tree.
Colors distorted
by the changes of fall.
Still I will cherish you
most of all.
On a breeze I will carry thee
to all the places I've been,
When you are a leaf,
and I am the wind.

Ebony silhouettes
inked by a dying sun
depict two lovers in
a synergy of hope.
Inseparable dreams
slowly morph into one
subservient to the
whims of compliant hearts.
And azure pools reflect
a tie-dyed denim sky
as enchanted dreamers
seal their love with a kiss.
Twinkling stars confetti
the emptiness of space
as darkness descends and
shadows swallow last light.
Time seems to stand so still
reality pauses
and motionless they swim
to the depths of their souls.

august, emotions, feelings, hurt, imagery, love,
As fear fills empty eyes
a frown contorts your face.
For it's hard to believe
that you forgot your name.
And as you shrink inside
all I can do is weep.
Your identity's gone,
only a shell remains.
And stripped of dignity,
you struggle with your shame.
And yet, despite your pain,
all I can do is weep.
You're lost within a maze
and can't find your way out.
And confusion stalks you,
stealing your hopes and dreams.
And though I'm losing you,
all I can do is weep.
Dwindling into fragments,
you die a bit each day.
And long hours are endured
silently in despair.
And yet, with Alzheimer’s
all I can do is weep.
