i lay the braided stars
before your precious countenance
that you may walk
the path of light
where gods
no longer dwell
for we are but a figment
of ephemeral affectation
reflecting in the tear
that wells
in worlds
wont to forget
the season of surrender
shall not plunder my resolve
to beckon at your call
under the restless moon’s fluoresce
awakened…
stripped and strung
in astral flecks
that flickered with foreboding
the myths depicted
in the dithering
of days foregone
still haunting,
as your fragrance wafts
into the garden
florid waifs found desiccant
as wistful sentiments
entwine me
in an urgent yearning
for your kis

The Trials of Romance
Her love is what I need.
To be consumed indeed.
While others came and passed,
Her love will surely last.
Her eyes as blue as brilliant skies,
Her hips for me a subtle prize.
Her hair as blonde as summer sands,
Her lips as full as promised lands.
To be with her I will elate,
All trials consumed within her gait.
She reads what reads of toil now,
To be with me is in her brow.
I will make good a lover's lust,
To lay to rest a curse I must.
And set aside all misplaced trust,
To capture spark it must be rushed.
To her I owe all time and space.
To be with her I must make haste,
She waits for none it is now known.
To reap the fruit
He is my anchor.
I am only grounded because of him.
The chain tied to my ankle kept me from drifting
Far
Far
Away
To where I won’t look at him and feel both love and pain.
But I guess I've wasted enough time
Trying to run from what I know.
But I cannot doze off now
He’s the now cold coffee that keeps me alert and aware.
It saddens me.
The bitter taste has a welcoming familiarity.
All I want is some warmth to remind me
Why I fell in love with you.
They clipped my wings
Tied my beak shut
Tethered me to the perch
Slammed the cage shut
Locked it tight
And threw the key away
But they forgot one thing
You can't crush my spirit
My feathers grew back
I forced my song to be heard
Ripped my bonds apart
Smashed my cage open
I spread my wings
And take flight
The wind in my face
The light on my back
The freedom I so desired
Freedom to by myself
To be who I want to be
To fly among the clouds
To go beyond my dreams
I am free
Dancing beneath the weeping willow,
Laying down under the trees for rest.
The green grass is soft like a pillow,
This would be springtime at it's best.
Have you heard of the birds that fly free?
Have you smelled the sweet flowers?
Have you played in the woods, in the trees?
What I do in spring hours.
I swim in the streams,
I play in the brooks.
As the sun gleams,
I read some books.
I catch fireflies from the air,
I pick flowers from the ground.
I hear children's laughter free of care,
How much I do enjoy that sound.

Falling Off A Bridge At 2 AM
I step upon the bridge of life.
And say this is my final strife.
I jump off, into the sea below.
And plumet into the mounds of snow.
I fall into the desert sand.
Into the one and only, Odin's hand.
I fall upon the raven's back.
Fall into a musketeer's pack.
I fall into the sky above.
Into the mouth of a turtle dove.
I step off and fall onto my floor,
My cat scratching annoyingly at my door.
I've fallen off my bed again,
And it's only 2 AM.
Spring is here
Plants will grow
Grow so tall so that you know
That life goes on
Birds will sing
Sing sweet songs
Song that ring
After you're gone
Learn to fly
To touch the sky
Let it rain & wash away
All the things that happened today
Dance in the fields
The fields of green
Green as far as the eyes can see
See the light that shines so bright
Bright to see the tree of life
Life that spins all day & night
Night that brings the world to rest
Rest that makes the world its best
Best are the things that grow in the spring
Spring is the birth of all new things
Things that start small but start to grow
Grow so tall so that yo
