~Upon The Other Side Of Never~

Upon the other side of never-
I wait for you...
Loving arms embracing me-
Under skies of heavenly blue...

Serenity and Heaven touched-
Together we make our nest-
Filled with amber kisses-
I know we're truly blessed...

Upon the other side of never-
I kiss your lips so sweet-
And in so doing-
We make our love complete-

Carry us a bit further on-
Past the kiss and tender touch-
Into a total consumation-
I just love you so very much...

Visit From God

God came to me today...
He showed me how to pray...
In Heavenly words spoken on this day--
He blessed my way-he blessed my way;

He came unto my heart and soul...
And altered my aims and my goals...
Taught me how to truly live---
Taught me compassion and how to forgive;

His words are so very wise...
They are as shining rays from Heavens skies...
He taught me to love and not to despise...!
He wiped the tears from my eyes;

God came to me today...
And now i will always pray...
His words i continually replay--
He blessed my way-he blessed my way;

Masquerade's, Aliases and Lies~

Kerri spread her velvet wings
And took to the sky to fly
Into nature and the light that was good
Deep through clouds of the azure sky;
Flying ever so far-far away from
A bird who's sadistic had gotten out of control
Her once battered wings, now mended
As well, as her once tormented soul;
'He was a demon in disguise', she exclaimed
'Cleverly hidden under feathers refined'
'Dangerous, brutal-a female hater'
'So unkind and deranged of mind'
Demented, yes he was so demented
A virtual volcano of record breaking size
With his lava spewing-red hot molten
Well hidden 'neath a bird of preys disguise;

Rain

In Seattle one could count on it!
Barometric pressure falling daily...
With the probalbility of rain-
Oft' times morphing into a steady drizzle
And grayer than gray skies;
In those days, depressive illness ran rife...
Much of it was linked to the bleak weather-
That chilly precipitation that keeps Washington evergreen;
That same miserable rain fell
The day my father died;
Some ask me today, if, i miss Seattle
And, of course, i reply: 'yes'
But, i do not miss that infernal rainfall
That always chilled me to the bone...
That literally dumped from the heavens
On May 7-
Leaving me drenched and oh so alone;

The Caller

Kevin keeps calling
With his camouflaged eyes
San Angelo housed
'Neath West Texas skies;
He's a stranger of the hour
His last name: Blouin-just sings
Four times the bells chime
Hangs up before the last ring;
In the shadows he has called
No words does he speak
Weary of his purpose
More than once-he's not meek;
Our patience is growing thin
Not humbled by his being a pest
Forty-four years old and up to no good?
That would be our best guess;
A word of warning
If you're delibertly pestering us
You don't have a clue whom your dealing with
Because we ARE going to make a big fuss! ! ;

Song Of Spring

With a song of Spring in my heart
I embrace this day of Spring
The warmth replacing the Winters chill
And my dream that gives rise to wings;
Standing in the doorway of: New Beginnings
An ocean of possibilities await
Dazzled by the genius of Masters
I give a big welcome to Fate;
Breathing in the blossoms pleasant fragrance
A fountain of bliss in Gardens new
Loving the magic touch of Butterfly kisses
And the melodies of SongBirds in view;
With a song of Spring in my heart
I continue to embrace this day
Ever grateful for the blue skies and sun
For the flowers and hope of sweet May! ;

Warming

Mon amour-'tis such an exqisite night-
Peeking through the fluff of the clouds...
Enveloping stars reach out from afar...
While the love crickets serenade out loud;

Serenades for the two of us, beloved-
'Neath a canopy fit for a King and Queen-
Echoed sighs from the love-sick skies...
And all of those lovers in between;

Love letters reach for our hands...
While romantic music hums in the air-
A rendezvous-complete for two...
Our every dendrite and neuron aware;

Your gentle touch electifies my psyche-
And stirs up a fire in embers of old...
Heating the night with its firery bright-
Allowing our love to melt the Winter cold;

Beauty Lost

Soft flaxen hair adorned her...

Blue eyes that filled the skies-

Cheek bones high framing her face-

Alas, tears tumbled down when she cried;

Perfect cupid bow lips-

A smile that would last for a while...

Classic nose and skin that simply glows-

But she walked in saddness for miles;

The Southern Equinox

The roof is leaning a bit
While the eaves are listening close
It's a mighty wind come to call
Swirling and whirling
Flower blossom are curling
Me thinks, it's the calling card of Fall;
August so snug in it's comforter of warmth
Holding, holding on, ever so tight
Keeping September at bay with her sizzle
Promising not to give up her fight;
Alas, Summer's last hurah is about to be
As claimed by this mighty wind's way
Around the corner in latter September days
Autumn will arrive, crisp and ready to play;
Gone will be the green grass and comforting warmth
And the blue skies endless bend
Sunshine will give way to a Firmament of Grey
Hence, Summer will surely come to her end!

Endless

Drowning in an endless sea...

Torments of bruising pain...

Gnawing and gnashing upon the heart-

Grinding bitterly in much heated disdain;

Suffocating in too much knowledge...

With coping mechanisms all but spent--

Heart beat 'tis mal-propelled...

Wondering where time went;

Coiled into insomnias nightmare...

Light Of You

Daylight shines as a septre
Radiant much as your smile
Equal to the eclipse of the Moon
'Tis our love-traveled over years of miles;
Oh gallant-my most beloved
So enchanted-i am-here this day
Bewitched by the magic that you adroitly weave
Sweet and new much as the month of May;
Brillant-so brillant far beyond the pale
Blindingly white- shining supreme
Heavenly devout in your sweet presence
Ecstatic in the pure ecstacy of our dreams;
Euphoria as in the Firmaments dwelling
Sparking as diamonds in the black velvet sky
Full day has made itself 'round once and again
And you-beloved gallant-remain in my eyes;
Oh such sweet-sweet surrender
Whether azure sky of day or ebon' of the night
Gleaming with such amazing brillance
I am nearly blinded by your Light! ;

Oh to be yours forever
.Under opalescent mother of pearl skies
.To sink into your lazy lagoon of sheer tranquility
.Where sorrows once accumalated-now are days gone by

Oh to bathe in your crystaline reflection
.Your absolute and sheer perfection
.My choice of transparency restless in my selection
.Wanton at times with maudlin indiscretion

Oh to be the grass under your feet
.Or the chalice of yours to drink
.Perhaps your feet stepping ever high
.Changing stormy weather to sun in a blink

Oh to be the rooster who crows in your morn
.Of your every brand new day

The Universe (An Acrostic)

~Sun~

Super bright
Ultra light
Never night

~Moon~

Mostly seen
On days in between
Only the new
And not often blue

~Stars~

Shining in the sky
Twinkling bright in my eye
Always glowing like a Firefly
Radiating splendour from high
Shining sparkles never die

~Graven Image~

Gone like the sands of time-
Myself of days gone by-
Resurected into brillant light-
That fill the heavenly skies-

Taken and remolded now-
From a piece of mellowed clay-
Finely shaped and folded-
Helping me to find a betterway-

For long ago i rode the train-
Of misery and complacency-
Never knowing where i truly stood-
Soul filled with insufficiency!

Traveling a path that was curved-
And wide...
Today i take a path less traveled-
For i am a spirit renewed-
Never again to unravel-

Clock

The clock, it tells a story-
One look at its tired face-
And a glimpse of both of its hands-
Why those seconds, just simply race...

Tick tocking its continued sounds-
Reminding us that time simply flies-
No it does not sprout feathered wings-
Nor take to the azure-blue skies...

But it moves nonetheless-
And with each day that passes away-
We are another day older-
And out of our youth-filled May...

Out of our heated July...
Rapidly, the clock, it simply ticks away-
Out of the falling leaves of our October-
Into Decembers white-ice chilled days...

Sunday-Sweet-Sunday

Bucholic 'tis this season...
Down the lane the church bells ring-
Springs in the air-and salvation 'tis everywhere...
As a choir of sweet song birds sing;

Pastoral influence dominates me now...
Ever aware in my believing mind...
I hold church twenty-four-seven-
Celebrating with my Savior most kind;

For He has given us so very much...
Why just look at the green tree and baby wren...
Move your eyes over to the babbling brook...
And smell the fragrant blooms in the glen;

He has given us so much to believe in...
Even in a world oft' painted in sorrow and pain...
He gives us blue skies when over-run by grey ones...
And sunshine following a tempest of rain;

A Making Of Love

It was in the early morning of need...
Where seduction came face to face...
Left behind in the early evening of first desire-
Upon the wings of sweet love... it raced;

No minutes were lost in awkward foreplay...
Only lust and its most trusty friend-
A teacher in the art of Tantric Love Making...
With patience and a love story- thus penned;

Tenderness and kindness were all needed...
Crossing the barriers of sky...
As two trees blown into one another...
As if Heaven had descended the sky;

The wind knew of this climax...
As the mountains flashed a knowing smile-
The flowers bloomed full for the occasion...
Bedded deeply-a love to last for a while;

Beloved

An ancient river carries your name-
In silver caverns so deep-
A Princess sits crying her heart out-
In the depths of sorrow, she continues to weep.

Calling her name only echos return-
Bleeding hearts are broken into-
Shallow niche's under a rippling spring-
Under paisley skies of colbalt blue.

Come calling my sweetness-
Into the nation of butterfly and bee-
Come calling my beloved-
Come caling, come calling to me.

Aristocrats of ancient lore-
Come knocking-
Come knocking -
Come knocking upon your door...

~Season's Masterpiece~

Fragrant swarms the pollen
Garnishing eaved roof tops
Dizzying aroma's mist o'er
Emerald veiled dales-
Gentle melding of fields O'
Flora-enibriating smells O'
Freshly picked clover
Overwhelming to us...

A dalliance or two while
Traveling a pebbled honed path
Comes awake a hint O' sweet Jasmine
Electri-citing my renewed senses
Following closely in on the tail O'
A moon beam...
My heart 'tis dancing through air
Dawn much like the twiglight
(the entering and exiting of light)
Revering blue skies coming and going-
Interrupted mid-day by a rainbow erecting

Early Eve Of Remember

It t'was in the early eve of Remember---
Before twilight had come around...
Where i found you with a basket of love so true...
And in the air t'was a melody of new loves sweet sound! ;

You held me oh so very close--
Before the dusk cast its nightly cover...
Before the ebons velveteen sky...
Declared you-to be my forever lover! ;

'Neath the comforter of a diamond studded sky...
Together we embraced in this blanket of night--
So cozy we two-touched by the nights glistening dew...
Two brillant silouettes under the moon shining so bright;

Oh such a magical moment in time -for us....darling--
Before the twilight t'was even near...
Before the dusk finally cast its sheltering cover...
You became mine forever-my dear! ;
