Can't stay down

Legends fall
as trees in a forest...
just because
one might not hear it
doesn't mean that either
had existed

Spoken words
of ageless grace
gathered all
in one single place

Towering high
at a rapid pace
tumbling down
not leaving a trace

Both have risen
back in time
if not the original
replicated has been fine.

Dancing lightly

Dancing under
moonlit skies
performance
undeniable...

Stars that grace
our present state
wishing all the time

Grand ovation
from passers by
speechless voices
the critters cry...

Borrowed are these
shoes of mine
midnight strikes
the princess pride.

Intriguingly mine...

I sat in the crisp air of night
surrounded by the arms
of my sweet knight...

How tender his embrace
enveloped me
looking through me
seemingly...

He nestled his head
ever carefully
against the nape of my neck

If the moon was there
he'd bestow it to me
for his love
is boundless
unconditionally given
to me.

Struggling forces

I have paced the floors
at night and prayed
that light of day
would change the prey...

Everyone looking for
something more to say
battling over who's first
to pay...

Constant rambling
I've heard the trades
ceasing in moments of quiet rage

Yes, I hope and pray
the light of day
will change the forces
this time at may.

Breath Taking Skies

Sunsets spanned
from here to there
across the country
across the sky...

In blends of purple
reddish blush
orange accents
time to hush

Impossible to deny
the lengths of beauty
nature provides

Allowing peace and harmony
to subside
Center stage
ovation pride.

Mutual stand by

I have sensed
the presence
of you standing there
off to the side
the distance set us wide...

My mind in question
your silence
I didn't know why...

Yet I chose
not to turn
and ask you
the reason why...

Contemplation
wasted time...
for when I had chosen
you were no longer mine.

Birth

Within your hand
you hold the key
that takes me to places
never seen...

Only imagined
in distant dreams
a place so wondrous
blooming from seed...

Cultivated from time
I've weaned...
gestation period
once was deemed

And now you've
place your time with me
Shuttered to gleam
you hold the key.

Extravaganza Of Spring!

A new time of year
springs forth into the air
new birth abounds
replenishing last years'


Rotation masquerading
as something new
it's been around for centuries
as I and have you...


Although not acquainted as with age
survival tested has been saved
Fluttering to make an appearance
one by one comes to stage...


Spring forward! Timeless age
of beauty
Reclaim your spot of duty!
Your audience is waiting
Standing ovation only...

The Magic of A Smile

The smile
that captivates
even the smallest child
that lights up
their face
in that moment of
trust and utter
amazement

No questions asked
no expectations
waiting in the wings
just pure
recognition
of a smile...

One that generates
the same response
when reciprocated
once more...

Where does one go...

It is as though
the path becomes narrower
the vision
that once paved your way
has now become
complaisant
for what comes your way

As yet another stepping stone
leading to higher planes
yet to be known...

It is as though
you've always known
this time would come
and you would play the role

Predestined...
surrendering to its' toll.

When left in doubt...

Not a moment too soon
shall pass me by
while waiting
for your presence
along my side

I have dreamt
of many a times
that you never appeared
not for selfish reasons
though you left me dispirit

Reality tells me
you will always be there
My heart senses doubt...
perhaps not related although
reprieved

Not a moment too soon
will time pass me by
while I wait
for your presence
to be by my side.

Well.....

Did everyone enjoy their Valentine's day?
Not the one that is hyped up for commercial
purposes, but the one that you create
with your loved one as recognition
of your love you share everyday?

That could mean an extra serving
of their favorite dinner, or a little note
you left them on the bathroom mirror...
It should be easy, and it should be fun.
And most importantly, it should be because
you 'want to' not because your forced to
celebrate it. If you have a positive attitude
about it all, then all the commercial stuff
does not bother you. In fact, you find
it rather helpful in getting your message
across to your loved one.

Make everyday Valentines' Day!

For my Valentine

Will you be my Valentine
for I have not a box of chocolates
nor do I have roses by the dozen...

Will you be my Valentine
if all I have to offer
is myself without a tie

Will you be my Valentine
if my bicycle will carry two...

I leave for you this Valentine
my promise to be true!

Be true my Valentine

Without you
I am empty
I am lonely
I am lost...

By you entering my life
when you did
how you did
transformed my way
of thoughts
of reason
of living

As though you were always there
the comfort
the familiarity
the trust

These are the vows
I wish to say to you
the words which hold my heart
have you
love you
grow with me
and not apart.

Moving forward

As I try to forget
the memories of past
appearing back unannounced
not necessarily relating to
anything present...

As though in flashback
I recall the faces, the moments,
the feeling of failure
for good memories
are rarely replayed...

Letting go...
condemns us to jury of reason
for our own punishments
are imprisonment enough...

Seek not what you shall find
rather seek out what never existed!
The key that will unlock your future.
