The climb
Forlorn, desilote, and serene.
I stand at the mountains
The place where I will rise
Upon its slope
Peace published in my thoughts
Oh how beautiful
Upon the mountains
My feet are
The feeling
I feel prepared me
For personal asent
Steep and salutary
A challange to be reckoned with
The charm of satifaction.

Souvenir
Today I returned
From distance's
That cannot be traveled
Today I have
A souvenier
It is a day like no other
Comes only a few times
In a year
Gone is my dead
And haunting past
Today I have
A Souvenier
It is to tiny
To be held in a hand

Thoughts
Creative thoughts-I let them dance alone
On empty shores of hopeful bliss
Their beauty can my life enhance
As your tender kiss
Creative thoughts-Not touched by things
Nor pierced by words or sound,
Or distractive clowns
In ecstasy
I feel their fashion of lifting wings
That raise me far from distractive things.

M-O-T-H-E-RM is for the million things she gave me,O means only that she's growing old,T is for the tears she shed to save me,H is for her heart of purest goldE is for her eyes, with love-light shining,R means right, and right she'll always be,Put them all together, they spell MOTHER,A word that means the world to me.

Torrid
A sparkling eye
form a tear
Down ward flows off her cheek
Crashing to the ground
In her hands
She hides her face
Pale, the starvation for passion
Blood flow furiously
In her heart
Feeding energy
To the Nightime battles
Horses sharpening hooves
Trampling those who want
The tears
She was there
The lover in the night

Ringing chimes
Beneath the interior
Calming and reassuring
Your company is soothing
Outside the wind chimes ring
It has a sauntering sound
Singing in my heart
Bit by bit
Peace may I recognize
Looking through
A west facing window
Grasp the view
The last colors
Of a faint sun set
Still shines quietly
In all these moments
I feel at home

An Angel
An Angel smiled at me
Then she touched my lips
She spoke a language
I have never heard
The words she spoke
I complety understood
The acts of kindness
In her kindness
In the name of God
She is to watch over me
Why he gave her to me
The strength she has
Lifted and Carried
Cleaned off all my and grim
With me
To the end of time

Freezing Breeze
The image built
Beyond the sleeping heart
Rythm sounds in the ringing bells
Reaches out and grabs.....
The beauty, 'in'
A Radaint full moon
Peering upon lone lovers
Whispy winds
Caress the skin cares
The break in morning chims
In the frozen land
Songs of nature
Cut amid the freezing breeze
This day
This moment
This land
For lovers to seize....

Silver star
Winter devours
Green leaves from my hand
Withering and fades
The flowers colors
The moon hung
Half way in the horizon
Frowning down
At the frozen ground
A passage to the future
Of snow and perilous winds
Where silence seals
In its sounds
The ringing of the brass bell
Echos oft to far
The healing of Scar on scar
God gave us
His silver star.

Scope of time
I who write
Shall have long since gone away
Into the region of shadows
And those who read
Are among the living
Strange things happen
Through the centuries
Flasks of aged wine
Stand waiting to be drunk
The wine cannot quench your thirst
You become a small particle
In the scope of time
The region is a shadow
Light and darkness meet
And do battle.
