Timeless

Like windows to another world
I see reflected in your eyes
the burnished golden sky unfurled
pure beauty of these caramel skies
the quiet passing sweep of time
the volumes spoken without word
and faint the distant tower chime
full seven times its voice is heard
but in this place that I have found
there is no sense of being late
and in this heaven I look around
convinced I’ve found at last my fate
this land where earth and sky have met
no difference ‘tween sun rise or set.

Lashes

All you did was blink
a split second closing
of eyelids and lashes
a weightless instant
no time to even think
space and time are bent
in colorless splashes
from eternity spring
a million thoughts
and it’s then I realize
the power of your eyes.

Rewind

a greater love I’ve never known
convinced I tell the world alone
the bitter pain that scars my heart
I bear no more because I’ve lost
the joy that shone and fell apart
and lies beneath an icy frost
a love once warm, once vibrant, waits
and darkness end- the hopes and dreams,
‘twere spread by greater brighter fates
pure bliss in peril but so it seems
an answer here may hidden be
if in rewind these words you see

Rearrange

I knew I shouldn’t think about
those things I couldn’t change
but everything inside of me
   wanted to rearrange

Wrapped Up In You

you hold me and my care
flies in one swift motion
for somehow in your hair
lies a magic potion
and when I breathe you in
I breathe the worry out
the secret lies within
the love that is throughout
the fiber of your being
your love so pure and true
I am left confirming
how deeply I love you

Whispered Truth

I can never say
how much i miss you,
or how my heart longs
to hold and kiss you.
And though I may try
words can never start
to express to you
the love in my heart-
the one thing I want:
to shout, “we’re together”
sadly I can only
whisper, “I miss her”

Last Night

I pull the covers back over my head
and I wonder if I’m alive or dead
the night was longer than I thought it would be
and this morning’s too bright for me to see
with aching bones and a still foggy brain
I think that I will have nothing to gain
by moving too quickly, instead I’ll stay
right here in my bed where I can replay
each glorious minute I shared last night
with an angel that made everything right
and now as the sun my dreams would invade
I wish that my heav’nly jewel would have stayed
because all these aches I feel as I start
are nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

Lesson In Living

The lazy specks drift and glide
through the sunlight’s yellow rays
in and out of shadows hide
on these cool November days
dancing by on golden beams
they lack all fear or worry
I fall into my daydreams
as I watch them mindlessly
mesmerized I vow to try
to drift some more when I fly

Awakened

Won’t you help me escape these chains
help me leave their crumbling remains
they’ve lost their power over me
and once again I shall be free
the dreams these shackles once controlled
will grow and spread and will unfold
out of the ashes dirt and grime
out of the clutches of mortal time
to breathe new life and light the way
for others nights to turn to day
and then united we shall rise
to view this world through dreamer’s eyes
