Garden Lady
Her fingers long and slender
As to the rest of her
Wonder how such frailty could, labor
Seen with dirt under nails
Her drive is a better world
She has gone further
Than just a frail young woman
Her fingers long and slender
With the smell of future flowers
Soon will give you much to see
Exceeding your garden needs
The plants she sows
They are hardy
They will grow
Through heat
Through neglect
She will give you what you expect

Skype' You are a Scourge
I Try to read the verse
Line to line
'Skype' pops in
And stops the rhyme
Reading quality writes
Verse to verse
Giving them respect
For the rehearse
Tsira,
Greenwolf,
And Dee Daffodil
Writes sure to put a smile
On your grill
For 'SKYPE' your
Such a scourge
Taking and replacing
Fine writings

A hole filled in me
She is strong and I am not
She filled a hole in me that was hard to spot
I am greatful for that she gave to me
At risk it may be
A payment I want to render
unto you
Finding you personaly to give the due
Should I choose a street
Or something with a beat
A path
With growth all over
Are there perils to be found?
Should it be that from drunkenness
There will stumbling all around
Is there a grass covered hill
that on top you can see

A moment
In a moment
A look from you
And I fell from grace
A smile placed happily on my face
I remembered once
I held you
In a deep embrace
Together we then danced
From excitment and from circumstance
In the heat of the passionate moment
Reading what your eyes consent
Of what your heart was trying to say
A crystal stone you grabed
Resting on a polished slab
Through gaps in your slender fingers
You looked in it to see if all was well
The image you found
lifted from all pain around
On The back of a spotted Dragon

The forest
The forest opens
Arousing the sences
To the fragrance of needles and leaves
Strong towers of most majestic trees
Rise from fallen now fertile dead
Listen recieptely, do you hear?
Echoing sensualy
From her dampness
Voices containing words from many speaches
Above all...
Faintly, like of a 'nymph'
Saying, Enter, enter
In the tumultuous dark depths
Sharp Claws and pointed teeth
Tear away the flesh
From the living
The pieces fall
Helplessly into the forgotten rehelems
To valuable to lay for waste
Plucked up from the dark shadows

Gone Away
In a drawer
Behind some forgotten
Necessities of life
That cannot be thrown away
There under all these memories
Is some paper
Saved for the day
To write a letter, A note,
A delarcation.
Yet known
I learned my friend has moved away
My loss is more than words can say
Strange it seems
The things she ment to me
Taking for granted
That she would always be
.

Nostalgia-tine
A time
Not so long ago
Was a school boy
He was tender in the heart
In the very same school class
Was a young school girl
Very smart,
Locked inside his empty shyness
This school boy
Wanted to, , ,
Talk to this pretty girl
Boldly, this day,
She set her hair in sophisticated curls
And what he wanted to say, , , was
Can you,
'Come out and play'
Inside he thought

Funeral Eulogy
A day to say I am sorry
A day to say I love you
A day filled with unending feelings
A day filled with chocked emotions
Yielding myself to showers of tears
The shortness of life yields to death
Not allowing us to gauge every friendship
Not allowing us to give thanks for the memories
Giving us to retain
The Mythical
The magical
Thought of all this
But can I feel solemnity
A voice screams
Tribute Tribute
Inside of me
The screaming battles
With the burning devils from hell
Cannot be heard

Mercy From the Lord
Lords mercy extends unto me
Protecting us from the wrath
Of our petty deeds
For unto me
I trust unto thee
Grasping happiness
And a little greif
Where is your confort
Will it be found
Will you be alone
Someone is always around
Will you be forgiven
For things in the wrong
Heaven and earth and bettween
Where are you going to find your means

Unknown
The place like twilight
Parting between sleep and thought
Not quite across the threshold of unconsciousness
In its door way
There I stand
Allowing adventure to grand
The place where I can go
No one will know
It is thought, and I control
Where I rule over despair and hidden depths
Finding it filled with Ghosts, Angels,
And alluring beauity
Couriously watching
A constant parade
Filled with the choice of people
And things of the imagination.
The power that I have
Above lust and infatuation.
