From the shadows of my heart
She calls
Her voice flows
Like an ethereal river
Running through my mind
Like morning dew
Her eyes shine
In a glorious sunset
Of auburn and crimson
Her smile
Captivates all
Her laugh is most precious
Like breath of life
It leads me to other worlds
Where love at last is found
Time passes between us
As seconds fall short
And words are left unspoken
A single rose
Lying on the ground
Fades
As I walk away
I look back and ponder
Should I leave…?
I ask myself
Always..

Ask the lips
What words I’ve whispered
Ask the hands
How long I’ve held you
Ask the fingers
How they long to embrace yours
Ask the feet
How far they have walked for you
Ask again
How much further
Ask the mind
How much you are there
Ask the heart
How much you own
Then listen
Listen for the soul
Whispering to yours
That sweet answer.

What use for summer dreams
While wading through the snow?
What use for time
In a place of silence?

My love….
I feel as if every dream
Each hope I carried then
Is nothing now this day
This night of endless rest

I sleep to dull the noise
I wake to hear the rain
That quiet downpour
Sweet, Sorrowful, descent

Such beauty caught in sadness
My heart, my life, my all.

Amber sunlight gleams off azure skies
As sweet winds whisper songs
Melodies of life heard
Carried upon the breeze
Each tune rustles
Scattered among the leaves
Sunlight fades
As distant light dims
Time passes by like a cold winter breeze
So cold
So unfeeling
Seconds pass as dusk fades into night
The shadows of yesterday
Arise anew
Bringing with them remembrance
Memories lost in the wake of time
Only to pass away
Once more.

My love…
Today my winter dream
Has fallen like the snow
With frigid depths and icy stream
Denying all I know

Night draws ever late
Across star filled skies
Chasing softly after fate
Revealing all your lies

My knight my love my song
Melody of life
Tune of ancient sorrow
Symphony of strife

This I close before tonight
As night fades into light.

Falling in the night
I feel the rain
Lightly resting
Upon the window of my life
Drumming a melody of time
As seconds drift
Into midnight hours
As the threads of sleep are pulled away
They elude my grasp
My mind awake
As the rest of the world lies
Serenely dreaming
Of the morrow
That meets my restless eyes

We are so distanced
Not only by miles but by ideas
We live separately in worlds apart
My life alive with words
Where thoughts float on gentle breeze
Carrying my dreams
Guiding my pen
Straying across the great distance
Telling of deep sorrows
Of unrequited love
Broken hearts
Loss.
Each pain carved
Forever preserved
As the ink dries

Each moment I write
Each thought that strays
Following my heart
Reason defied by ardent care
Each memory twisting
Clawing its way into my conscious
Her cool eyes
Like sapphire raindrops
Burn into my mind
Each note of her melody sustained
Held forevermore
A symphony plays my sorrow
Falling short….
Until you can hear
The silence of my soul.

Falling softly on her shoulders
Each ray illuminating her pale figure
Each second that passes
She drifts away
Carried away by bitter winds
Eternally separated
Staring across the distance
Our hands outstretched
Striving to be closer
Our fingers intertwine
As we dance in the night
Only to find ourselves apart
Forevermore

My love…
Where have you gone?
I spend every night waiting
Sleep eludes the restless heart.
Tell me fair maiden
What dreams will come?
What illusions of time?
When will I rest once more?
I ask of thee my love
Why do you stay silent
While I cry into the storm
Lamenting your loss, I scream
Tell me my dear friend
Where have you gone?
Where are you my love?
Hast thou forgotten those words
Spoken in summer winds
Of peace, love and eternity?
Tell me my love, have you?

My love…
What can I say?
Time has left me here
Waiting
Searching for the life
The light we shared
That day so long ago
Your smile, so soft
Never wavering
Your eyes, so dark
That night
Sunset upon the valley below
Gentle breeze and autumn leaves
Moonlit memories drifting away
My love…
Where have you gone?

Autumn fades into winter’s chill
As I sit waiting in the night
Clouds obscure sight of stars
Of heaven’s sweet light

The dark cold breeze doth blow
It’s frigid frosty howl
Life’s passing in silent recollection
Warm summer’s memories

As leaves fall
To a seasonal death
Each second falls
Like rain upon times face

Each hour passes in cold thought
The warmth has left my fingers
My hand freezes in mid sentence
Of what I meant to say
