• dreamer

    deep blue eyed dreamer
    under majestic
    metallic moon azure sky
    on the road miles wide
    rains where horses graze
    grass can’t grow in snow
    hay mainstay
    dogs won’t stray
    shepherd herd the herd
    with words heard
    they obey

    sun peer from sky forever shy
    dawn belong to the morn
    lapse in time writ the rhyme
    clear crystal sheen
    that only May surmise the green
    chartreuse destitute shoot
    covered over root
    snow alone nature mute
    frozen ground mood allude
    hibernate winter brood
    relate the thing hope of Spring
    when bird take wing
    sing song soon.

  • the dappled rosebud path

    pursue the dappled rosebud path
    the shady pond of barren bird
    tell me nothing but your sweet word

    that it’s not over
    stroll in clover
    the nights are colder
    not curse the candor
    we built in splendor
    in timeless hours of the ardor

    grabbing hold of decadence only absence wreck
    continuum-faster leaving anyone for freedom is the medium

    your cheekbones
    chiseled as a David
    remembered the creamy complexion your gaunt cheeks
    faint blush in morning mist
    I miss the hearty hug
    the baby’s breath kiss

    devout pout that laughs out loud upon a pretty face as this
    the road is long I long for
    God to help me find my way

    back to
    the dappled rosebud path
    where first love felt of Spring.
