Callused fingers press vibrating strings;
drawing passion from a violin.
With the 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 fiery flames of 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

beauty, celebration, passion, summer,
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.

If I could write just one more time
fill a page with different rhymes
make discoveries with pen and mind
of what I'd say if given the time
If I could write just one more time
using words that best describe
reaching inside the inner mind
finding feeling just like mine
If I could write just one more time
My love would be my greatest crime
To steal your heart or defend your honor
My hidden love I'd wish you to discover
If I could write just one more time
I write of heaven that's yours and mine
And I'd make heaven a wonderful place
My two favorite things your love and Gods grace

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.

That You remove temptations
From my life;
But grant me Lord,
Through faith,
The strength to overcome.

art, heart, heart, love, me,
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

best friend, boyfriend, cute love, love,
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 are loved and not alone.
Suffering persecution;
sometimes, all you have is 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 you thought changes.
Belief can imbue your life
with a strong sense of purpose.
Existence should never feel
empty or unfulfilling.
The love that you have for God
is oft rooted in blind faith.
And yet, that faith sustains you;
nourishing both heart and soul.

(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.

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!

betrayal, feelings, love, sad love,
Reality's a harsh truth;
that dominates existence.
And I cannot escape it;
no matter how hard I try.
You got me to believe we'd
be together forever.
But your lies and betrayal
tore my naive heart apart.
Love's indomitable flame;
wasn't meant to be extinguished.
And its demise was painful;
fueling deep depression.
Fate spun a fickle fortune,
mixing threads of trust with doubt.
And yet, hope has the power
to resurrect dying dreams.
Happiness cannot stray far;
tightly tethered to my heart.
And there will come a day when
I'll believe in love again.

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.

baby, beautiful, love, sweet,
My sweet baby girl is
half-awake, half-asleep.
And her toffee yawns are
stretchy as caramel.
Her cotton candy cheeks
are like pink marshmallows.
And dark chocolate curls;
adorn my baby's head.
She sports blueberry eyes
and soft licorice lips.
And her creamy face boasts
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.

She counts the seeds
Of my pomegranate heart
The same, always the same
No matter how many times she counts.
Her fingers are stained
And though she may wash and scrub
There I will be
In her skin, lodged in places
Where she cannot wash me out

beauty, imagery, love, romantic,
Salacious silhouettes
inked by a dying sun;
merge with the shadows in
a synergy of hope.
Two inseparable
half-souls, morph into one;
subservient to the
whims of compliant hearts.
As romantic dreamers
seal their love with a kiss;
as calm waters reflect
a blood-stained, scarlet sky.
Twinkling stars confetti
the ebony of space;
and as darkness descends,
Dusk snuffs out beams of light.
Time appears to stand still,
reality pauses;
and enchanted lovers
swim the depths of their souls.

confusion, emotions, feelings, imagery, lost, sick,
Hiding in the shadows
dementia devastates;
as sanity slowly
begins slipping away.
When your memory fails,
life loses its meaning;
and you become depressed;
bewildered, and confused.
Your heart morphs into a
desolate derelict;
a floundering vessel
not even love can save.
Hope's quickly depleted,
for trust doesn't exist;
only time remains true,
in this facade of lies.
And when reality's
stranger than any dream;
Alzheimer's tethers your
soul to oblivion.
