My Life In Word

FALLEN

I feel I know
Where this is gonna go
You’ve shown me
Who you are
Lacking luster
Dull and dim
You are a fallen star

THE SILENT MUSE

 I have had many a muse
 But none quite like you
 You take me to places
 Fresh and new
 Without uttering a word
 You open the door
 To the world in which
 My heart adores
 Where raindrops are words
 And rhythm dances from leaves
 Where love permeates the air
 Like a crisp morning breeze
 You know, 
 That place where
 The oceans laugh
 And mountains tend to cry
 Where eagles speak Geechee
 And penguins can fly
 A place like no other
 To this place
 I am bound
 While you sit
 There is silence
 Without making a sound

AND WE SHALL

 Take my hand and we shall stroll
 'Round the giving tree
 Share with me your hopes and dreams
 And I, too, will share mine
 May we get lost in conversation, so
 That we become unaware
 That the sun has set
 And the evening's sky
 Has become dotted with fireflies
 I'll take your hand and we shall dance
 'Round the giving tree
 By moonlight's glow
 And nature's own symphony
 May we get so lost in dance
 That we hardly realize
 The sun has risen
 From his slumber
 To usher in the day

BOUND TO LIVE

I am no shrinking violet

For I am wild and free

I don’t know how to be

Anyone other than me

I celebrate my failures

And embrace my flaws

I am bound to live

By no man’s laws

That would dictate

Who I am

Or who I should be

‘Cause I don’t give a damn

If you like me at all

For you walk in the shadows

Of my five feet tall

THE OTHER SIDE

 I remember the moment
 When time stood still
 You said my name
 I lost my will
 To stay within
 The present tense
 I stepped outside
 And hopped the fence
 To the other side
 Of time and space
 Hoping to stand
 Face to face
 With you alone
 And let my name
 Resonate in my ears
 And set my soul aflame

THAT LOVE

Where is the love

That men dream about

And women crave

Love that drives some

To madness

And others to their grave

That love eternal

Long-lasting and true

The one that turns

Dark skies to blue

That gentle love

Strong and pure

The test of time

It will endure

The love that resides

At rainbow’s end

That love that thus,

gives life portends

Epiphany
  
 Sometimes I cry
 Like now you see
 Each tear
 Its own epiphany
 Of love forlorn
 And lost at sea
 Adrift, I wait
 For a change of wind
 Seeking cloud cover
 To soothe my skin
 Left dry and thirsty
 And nearly singed
 By the crudeness
 Of your love
 But, alas, reprieve
 From the sky above
 Who opened her hand
 To rid me of
 These hot,
 dark, dusky days
 And with each raindrop
 She did so blaze
 The path for which
 To lift the haze
 Sometimes I cry
 Like now you see
 Each tear
 Its own epiphany
 Of love and joy 
 And jubilee

A SUN

 Though other loves
 Have come and gone
 My love for you stands true
 It has weathered many storms
 And seen countless skies of blue
 It is as if
 You are a sun
 And I your yearning moon
 Longing and reaching for
 The warmth of your cocoon
