Green River Valley

Your face 'tis mirrored in the river-
Along its banks where moss and algae grow-
Shadows of the dark forests unfold slowly-
'Neath the lemon moon- your reflection- simply glows;

Evening has locked its ebony blanket in-
'Cross the rivers green-gardened theme-
Fireflies flutter their brillance and gossemer wings-
While the river unfolds unfathomnable things;

In the valley under the mountains spires-
The zenith touches the skies broken white clouds-
And the fireflies- now even in daylight-
Mirror your reflection- in the river so proud;

Oh such divine whispers you share with me-
Cupping my chin in your most loving of hands-
Moving one in a caressed sweep 'cross my cheek-
Oh 'tis magical-this green gardened river land;

Paper Trail Shredder

The calamity remains
.....In desecrated skies
.....Where predominate arrogants
.....Go seeking perfect alibi's

Victimless shambles lay at my feet
.....Crumbled and broken shards of regret
......Fallen and disavowed souls of disdain
.....Their entire lifetime totally upset

But they were never victimless
.....You crushed their spirits with your mercenary hires
.....'Follow, follow, ' following me for over three decades
......You won't be satisfied 'til i have expired

Yes, this is to you...it is a diatribe...to a very haughty arrogant soul
Who has made more enmies than he knows what to do with.
Thinking that you can buy everyones silence was your first mistake.
'To the VICTOR goe the spoils? ' Marion? 1975 (The Daffodil Planter)

Living Off Of Memories

I am living off of memories--
Just wasting my time....
The hours pass into days...
And there is no reason nor rhyme;

Blue skies have gone missing-
Replaced by dark grey--
The Sun has taken its leave---
And the night has replaced day;

Springtime no longer exists-
All the blossoms are withered and dry--
Summer times brillance...
For me has just died;

I am living of of memories--
Just wasting my time...
The hours pass into days
There is no reason nor rhyme;

All Wet - The Song

On down the river of circumstance
Drowning in a sea of despair
I try to shelter my heart
Knowing that you are no longer there
Under an unwelcome wave of disagreements
Swallowed up by tides of disdain
I try to control my teardrops
As they fall like the pouring rain
Knowing that you're gone from my presence
Knowing that you're no longer near to my shore
Is breaking my heart and soul into pieces
Knowing that you don't love me any more
Can't seem to reconcile your absence
Can seem to deal with this pain
Under a cloud of overwhelming heartache
Consumed by unending torrents of rain
Oh where oh where is my Rainbow?
Oh where oh where can it be?
Soaked am i from sea to the sky
Wishing that you were here with me

~I Love You~

I dance your name o'er and o'er
As it plays softly inside my head
Reverberating private moments
When mere word's we left unsaid
We seemed to know without speaking
The visuals were so crystal clear
Today i dance your name 'cross the sky
With a banner that says: 'I love you, my dear'

A Return Of A Raw Memory

Destiny and Fate played with my memory-
Comin' round' to my back door-
Knocking-knocking-knocking...
Bringing back my days of yore;

All of my memories came flooding-
To back when Fate and Destiny became one...
Back to when you and i where like the endless blue sky...
A couple who shined as the Sun;

We were all that glittered as Gold...
We were all that mattered way back then-
Together as one we shown as the Sun...
Destiny and Fate are playing with this memory again;

Gone are the smiles that finally came 'round...
After our most bitter good-bye...
I was so over you-once we were through...
That i had nary a tear to cry;

a Painting

the dregs of night folded

as stars twinkled 'cross the northern sky

welcoming a canopy of brillant gems

t'was an unbrella of planets upon high

the heavens are ever so breathtaking

filling ones spirit full of awe

much as a masterpiece painted

of our galaxy without one single flaw

Time Changes Everything

Across the mountains of once believed...
Where Good Shepherds Lead Their Flock-
I found a sweetheart residing there-
Who ignored the hands of the clock;

Over the mountains of Majesty...
Under the skies deep paisley blue-
I found a sweetheart residing there-
Who promised to love me true;

Leaving me nary a broken heart...
Painting rainbowed dreams inside of my head...
Leading me down the path of no return...
Into the Garden Of Love I was led;

Once in the ecstacy of this floral dream-
We wrapped ourselves into: 'One'
Embracing one another as no other...
Under Edens most heated Sun;

Gods Call Pain And All

Once lost in the wilderness--
Overwhelmed by the towering trees...
Confused by the green branches-
But comforted by the breeze;

All alone in the meadow--
Where the Larkspur doth grow--
But i am enchanted in the valley...
'Neath the moons most heavenly glow;

I am alive in the Garden...
With my sweet red rose--
Imbued with all of the colours-
I am inspired to write this prose;

Gathering up all of Gods nature...
With my quill i shall write...
A journal about needed nurture...
'Neath Gods most loving sight;

Light Years

Bear not the night
As being your fate
For 'tis the death
Near Hell's molten gate;
Let not your heart
Be influenced of dark
For nigh 'tis the light of day
For bright 'tis your spark;
Evil 'tis not your place
For you embrace the sky
An Angel in the making
When Heaven 'tis nigh;

Tangerine Morn

The sky 'twas tangerine this morn'
With an eccentric mauve overtone
Spilling o'er the arbored countryside
Across the gardens stepping stones;
The trees all limber and dressed for April
Chiseled in the backdropp O'this pastel space
Flowers e'er shimmering with life-echoed-
Surely, this 'tis Springtimes longed for face;

Autumn Kissed

The brillant orange, it billows-
The tawdry burnt, to brown-
The air 'tis filled with aroma of chestnuts-
And Mesquite wood, fills the breeze, in our town!

'Tis a brillant, crisp, Metamorphis-
As a catapillar to: The Monarch, Butterfly-
It reminds me, of this change, in season-
With the Golden and Dark leaves, blowing in the sky-

What Real Friendship Is

Friendship sails 'cross all kinds of seas-
The calm, the stirred, the galed...
Serene, difficult and outright stormy...
But true friendship-it never fails;

You come together open-hearted-
With profound respect and devotion-
Tied together with a common thread-
That can sustain any waves of the ocean;

The mark of true friendship stands...
Even when ones skies turn grey-
It is not just partial to sunny fair weather...!
Or absolute attendence come what may! ;

For oft' times we get side tracked...
From our own personal tragedies or worse...
Leaving us sometimes absent but never forgetting...
Our true friends in lifes most gifted verse;

Roswell

...A vision of Splendour...
Cast light beams through ebony sky
...Radiant Wonder of Wonders...
Of the days of by and by
...Not moon beams nor a star...
Nor Super Nova's aflash
Nor Comet, Nor Rocket
...To the Earth they did crash...
Light beams so different
...There really is no explanation...
Accept that perhaps, they are:
...Sparkling Delights from
Another Galaxy Nation!

Wisdom

I implore you to listen to reason-
Your day will surely come
Dancing in the clouds of sunny season
Smiling wide when day is done;

I implore you to take some time--
Before you step way too high-
Embrace the sea level wisely
Heed the call from the sky;

I implore you to journey with caution--
For enemies hide behind smiling eyes--
Explore your every option
Before your final good-bye;

Partial Amnesia

Kissing you last night...
All that i remember--
Is the yellow and red
Of our passionate embrace;
Your voracious mouth--
That could not be sated-
Your absolute unending hunger;
The strange tingling...
Down the side of my neck--;
The built up rush of--
Blood in my hips...
Sky-rocketing in delight...
A mid-summers night--
And your arms-
Yes-your arms--
Reaching for me...
Once again;

Golden Sails

As limited as time
so too- is my love for you;
Caresses of your neck
Fill up my once empty heart;
Starved for your eyes
The twinkle from them sates me;
At peace in your arms
Is like coming home;
Life could not be-
Any sweeter...
Any more fulfilling...
Than it is right now-
In this very moement;
As limitless as the sky...
As bountiful as the sea...
Won't you come sail away with me?

Pledge

Heaven finds me smiling--
All dischord erased-
A kiss placed deliberately...
Upon your sweet-sweet face;

Loving memories to make--
In the noon days to come...
Exhilarating togetherness-
Under Spring Time Sun;

Oh so gloriously happy...
All anger it has passed--
Kissed and made up...
Formed-a love to last;

Casting out all doubt...
And green monster jealousy--
You and i-touching the sky...
Together for eternity;

Never Late

The Spring sky beckons
Through clatter of hailstones spent
Thunderstorms are extensions of Heaven
Quenching the Earth-God's raindrops spent;
'Tis said that April showers are necessary
Alive in Springtimes hours...
Paving the way for Rainbows Arch
And the first bud of May flowers;
The clouds in clever syllables fade
As raindrops in a caravan disipate
Bountiful in design-this Garden O' mine
Arrival of Mays blossoms-never late! ;

Lap Of Luxury

This day i lounge in luxury-
As i pull stars from the sky...
Such amazing sparkling gemstones-
Rasie the passion in my green eyes;

I laze on cushions of white fluff...
From the clouds that dance over my head-
Comfort days-that truly amaze-
With down feathers for my bed;

O such grand luxury has blessed me...
Warmed in my cozy cottage of hay...
Splendour and tranquil moments-abound-
Colours of serenity are, indeed, mine this day;
