Illusionist
Curled 'round my memory
...with your clever trickery
Raw emotions bleed out the same...
Sorrows of yesterdays fairwells
Mere casualties of illusionist blame...
Your Top Hat magic...
Rabbit with a Black Wand...
Disappearing into the dusk...
N'er returning with the Dawn!

Chill
A shining coil of wind
Carried away the last leaves
Black Birds final calling
Upon Winters sleeves
Snowflakes slide
Laying comforters of white
Snow Angels rejoice
At rest come the night
Morning unbuttons
To a glassy grey glaze
Winters come calling
Through frost misted haze

Love me Do (An Acrostic)
L ove is what drives my heart
O verwhelmed with your warm embrace
N ever ending bliss filled thoughts
G iving unto you all my ways
I nvolved with thoughts of only you
N aturally fantisizing 'bout we two
G oing nearly insane for love this true
S weet secret desire-Love me Do

Reflections
I am a silhouette
In the mirrors of your mind
The scent of a woman
Upon silken sheets sublime;
I come to you in silence
For a season with passion defined
Leaving you with my fragrance
Of once upon a Spring time;

Toxic
Rolling in the gray-black -
Dust of another axe to grind-
Fresh graphite-leaden
Grounds-
Pollute airways-
As the dying enviroment-
Inhales yet another-
Dark stain-
Of your utter inhumanity;
The nervous system-
Twitches and out flows-
All of the mercury-
From my austic heart.

~I Love You~
I dance your name o'er and o'er
As it plays softly inside my head
Reverberating private moments
When mere word's we left unsaid
We seemed to know without speaking
The visuals were so crystal clear
Today i dance your name 'cross the sky
With a banner that says: 'I love you, my dear'

Les Tulips
It was a dance for two
Call it a Floral Ballet afar
A vertible blossoming pas de deux
Beautiful as 'Les Tulips' By Renoir
Oh, the colurs were so vibrant
A dance of pastel stroked measures
A French trifled daliance of lovers
A bountiful safe of artistic treasures

a Painting
the dregs of night folded
as stars twinkled 'cross the northern sky
welcoming a canopy of brillant gems
t'was an unbrella of planets upon high
the heavens are ever so breathtaking
filling ones spirit full of awe
much as a masterpiece painted
of our galaxy without one single flaw

Lies-The Big Picture
The Writing is on the Wall
......Hanging from a Nail
......Solitary-Perfunctory
......A Reminder-A Call
.......Looming
......Casting Aspersions
......Revealing
.......Instead of Healing
......Long before its Fall
......The New Reality of it All
The Essence

Here Today
Our ride
Through life
Is short
At best
Choices made
Do count
Moments lived
Savored
Memories made
Golden
Embraced in
The gilded
Frames of time
Honored vestiges
Of Era's of
Yesterday
And today
That are too
Soon gone
Reflections play
