Next to the strand, upon the tortured shore,I wept the tears of wretchedness once more.His faithlessness had me bereft and torn,While wavering be-chilled beside a bourn.A wistful face was drawing him away,She did not care that he was drawn astray.Delighting in seduction and deceitHer deft destructive power was complete.My lot was such that life felt drear and dourWith nothing left me in this fated hour.The skies spilled o...

The light your presence made pulls away from my heart,lingering inside and swelling for years,the spaces between promises growing like rings loosening from our fingers.This ghost knows me well,so please do not reach for me anymore,the trails I've made are not yours,your steps only make tremors when walking along darkened roads.In the distance there are still glimpses at the edges,a code that we may have written here,taps...

So gallant is mine own true love,He lives to honor me.My tears do fill mine eyes once moreAs he both plays and sings.He careth not what might befallFrom what adoring brings.Our kisses might be hidden nowBut soon we may be free.This formless dread doth prey uponMy mind that fills with doubt.I look upon his visage proud,His rugged mien so rare.He tells me that he doth approveOf mine own placid air. We know the pain that may...

One heart gave to anotherall that it had to give.One heart took from the otherthen it faded away.Too long waiting and doubtingcan be a common affair.Too long yearning and mourningwastes a singular life.Was it all that you dreamt of,did a nightmare occur.Was your trust rudely shatteredby their faithless display.Did you give simply, purely,from the depths of your soul.Did they take what was offeredgiving you naught in retur...

With whispers we are guided on our quest While moving down the trail to tranquil peace.Our hearts have heard the murmur of a guest.Until we reach our goal it will not cease.We two, as lovers, bound eternallyWill make our way to earthly paradise.Thus, pointing out our path internally,Our guide has always given true advice.Preparing us for what may be our fateThe inner voice has taught us as we grew.As lovers we have entere...

It seemed so simple to meAnd I thought it would be for you.But here we areApart.Complications whereTrust isImplicitMakes little sense,But there it is my love.My love,Never again. It seems this is the end.Lives are not that easy to read,Lives are not that easy to live,Lives are not easy,But trust is.Or should be,Don't you agree.Did you decide that someone was more,Did you decide that someone must be the coreOf your life,Th...

Feet splashing in streams,Tripping along with bare feet.Sharing the pleasure.Soaking wet clothing,Drenched with the water of life.Skipping in the rain.Moisture in the soil,Saturating nourishment.Smiles at the blooming.~~~~~Clouds across the sky,Blown by winds unseen by eyes.Storms appearing soon.Breathing in the air,Our atmosphere is heady.Sweet exhalations.Lovers watch heavens,Feeling breezes wafting by.Questing hands me...

Restore your life, you tell yourself this day,Forget what you were told, it was a lie. The love you knew you earned has walked away, And will not come again. You don't know why.They come into your life and touch your heart, And tell you stories that you find aren't true.Just let them go, allow them to depart.To lovers who don't love, you bid adieu.Your faith in people should not be erasedSince only some have lied and then...

The paths of love can be most hard to find When hearts have lost fidelity once known.So many routes have hindrances unkindThat trip you up and turn your trust to stone.Each person wants the sureness of love's touchThat leads the way through trackless wilderness,And gives each lover one more needed crutchWhen life has dealt the blows of harsh duress.But we shall always have our fears addressed Because we have true help alo...

"Here be dragons."Ancient maps lack these words.One globe contains the words In Latin form. From the sixteenth century Of the Common Era.But what a great descriptor Of the unknown And the mysterious.Of the dangerous And the treacherous.These words came to mind When I thought of you.And I did think of you.And then rejected the words, And remembered the beauty.The beauty of the sharing And the swearing Of fidelity.And the l...

You show your face and fill my eyes with tears That fall like gemstones as my heart does quakeWith humble thanks that you have lost your fearsAnd let your visage grace, 'tis for my sake.No more must I with bated breath requestThat you reveal your beauty to my sight,You simply filled my thirst and I was blessedBecause I now am quenched with pure delight.I never more shall feel that I have lostThe earnest wish that I have a...

Remember how I cried When first I heard your voice?Remember how I diedWhen last I was your choice?Forget the way my worldWas torn asunder then.Forget the way it swirled,I lost my where and when. Just know I cannot wait,Just walk with me once more.My pain must soon abate, Love me, I still implore.The honey of your toneWas sweetness to my ears,And you and you alone Could bring an end to tears.I only hope to knowSuch joy and...
