Simple Thoughts
Caught in a simple thought
Trapped between
An unstopable force
Articulated madness within
Allowing roaming contradiction
To choose my course
Drops of clear water
Turning to whitish ice
The cold is arriving
Shivering interupts
The Arousing warm touches
To the killing force felt in freezing winds
The stars on winters lost horizon
Not lonely, they float in splendor
Poetry flows through simple thoughts
And drives me mad for warming pleasure

The race
Once I was in a race
It was noted,
For, Vigor of fancy
Strength of passion
The winner would
Take with him
Whom he loved in youth
Distinctly the remembrance
Lives without parameters
Of confined restriction
On the deeply grooved path
that led through
Devirse terrain
Divided by streams and calm waters
Places so pristine
That paradice could only describe
Being a race,
Never, was time to stop.

A great day
Circumstances which originated
Attending portions of daily attention
The greatness of majesty give
Thoughts directed to some of
The life that springs fourth
As the snow melts
Every year
To the sunlight of the season
Leaving some of the most colorful sights
Awaking
The abundant growth
When the sun goes down
Light gives up to darkness
The darkness starts to break up
Two or three stars discuss
With the astronomers
And enjoy the fresh smells
A phenomenon plausable in perusal

The Leaving
Blackness of 'death'
Has tried to conquer
My inner soul
Slipping on the last hour
As looking into the failing
Dirty rays of fainting
Sunsets light
The tides of blacknes
Washing my inner soul
Always pretending
To be my close friend
The dreams I had
Offering the most comfort
Are the ones of dieing
Cruel teasing me
Leading me there
Leaving me there
The things I need
Have Left me....
In the deepest ground

Rings
Little fragile, Flimsy bands,
Worn on shapely hands,
More despair to men have brought,
Than all the battles ever fought
Still bestowal of a ring,
Has more joy contrived to bring
In one ne'er-recurring hour,
Than have knoledge, wealth or pow'r
Little emblem of Romance!
Wherein thy significance?
Gold? Most fickle metel known!
Diamond? Coldest, hardest stone!
Whereas plain gold wedding bands,
Gracious caring, work-worn hands,
Countless home sustain and bless
With real and happiness.

Portrat
I am whispering in your ear
But Is it to quite,
You cannot hear.
When you feel love
Do you think of me
When I am not here
The memories, Ah so sweet
Held inside of me
Everyday I display
A portrat of you
Bleneded, words thoughts and images
Some may say
'It seems strange'
Words that are never spoken
Sparks an awaking in me
A sentiment of a ripening friendship.
And I carry all of these weighing feelings

The Fragment
Look at the surroundings
Interpreted, upon the wide
Waste of liquid ebony
On which
Thus we were born
In a few thoughts
I perceive above and below
Visible fragments
Large and small
Helplessly embraced
In a spiraling whirl
My Natural curiosity
Began to watch
With a strange interest
Of these on goings
They seemed to respond
To my change of emotions.
Its blackness verbed
A Helpless cry
Sparking a strength deep inside

The tide
A tide rolls in
An edge
Bettween sand and water
A sun sets
Shining light from mountain to sky
In shadows of restraint I weep
My strength and soul wanders weak
A water fall of empty salty tears
In pools of inspiration lost
As hands of silence choke the seed
My dreams and aspiration tossed
Behind the fog of doubt
Ill stand, my self esteem renews.
A place to freely write
The joy of a capture
Crystallization of human feelings
In the words on this page
My pen can stand all still.
Like water, from a fountain.

Turblence
A face in my night time dreams
No disruption could stop
So deep I cannot awaken
The face I see
With eyes so intent,
Are the eyes which I am taken
They look for me...
And there I am
A smile appears
It fills emptiness in my heart
Though I am asleep
Taking away my fears
I may see your captivating face
For a long time
Tossed around in turbilence
In a lost and stormy sea
Still sleeping fitfully
Not to awaken
Your face is one I 'love'.
I'm sleeping

Love Conjecture
She saddens my heart
Depreciates my resepct and dignity
Left with poverty
I gave a little to much
Suffering rampid side effects
dishoner
disgrace
Small pieces that were seceretly stashed
Unable to give back stolen emotions
Accused of larceny of the heart
Charges:
Recklessness
Haphazard vaunting of poor interpertation
Twisted tribute reasonings of a panegyric
Excuses and alibies are easy to find.
