THE INSOMNIAC'S PRAYER
The ripening berries
summer's last blaze
when her breath is of jasmine
and phlox is her sigh
let me dream, then, of summer
and float through the haze
peaceful breath
bed of poppies
ceiling of blue sky
Let me float
like a feather
in the arms of the breeze
let me drift
like a leaf
on a tide upstream
with the murmur of water
the soft hum of bees
in a garden, in peace,
in sleep, in a dream
Send me love's angels
to watch at my bed
golden of voice
and silver of wing
two at the far corners
two at my head
with my dreams all of heaven
when, softly
they sing
Send me a light
that can never grow dim
love, like a candle,
to lighten my heart
empty my mind
of each worry and whim
and the ghosts
of night's mantle
that tear me apart
Till I float
like a feather
in the arms of the breeze
and drift
like a leaf
on a tide upstream
love make me wise
through life's cruelties
sleep dry my eyes
make me still
let me dream.
--
TEMPTATION
Wrapped in vanilla air
with fresh-washed hair
I approach you and your unsuspecting yawn
like an evening shadow over a lawn
Dressed for passion's kill
when the night is still
I come wrapped ready to be undone
a present with a future soon on the run
I am temptation's tongue
while the night is young
The future author of your past regret
though you do not even know me yet
Saviour or nemesis
to kill or kiss
close your eyes, blindly enter the dream
where love flows smooth and silken without seam.
---------------------------------------
COME HOME
Beautiful
relent, come home.
Your room looks as it has always been,
though quiet now, while the garden outside
unfolds in tender April green.
Beautiful
come back, come home.
The bed is made, the table set.
Forgiveness is not the death of pride
but the birth of a love grown deeper yet.
Beautiful
dear son, come home.
The dank streets hold no hidden key
to unlock youth's impatient dream
of glorious future destiny.
Beautiful
oh please, come home.
Sleepless blackness swallows the day.
All beauty lies, all pleasure dies,
for loss of the love that slipped away.
------------------------------
The latter poem was inspired by missing my sister after she moved to
America, so I turned it into a fictitious mother, missing her runaway
son, to lessen the pain of putting the feelings down on paper.

JUST WHEN IT WAS GETTING GOOD!
The wind that day
had the breeze of a thousand,
crisp, linen sails
a Santa Maria driven effort.
As I watched the huge, sun-kissed
balloon cruise, on the delicious
air current, become smaller than puny.
Lost in the admiring
powder puff sea of clouds.
In the height it attained,
some unspeakable thing happened
to my dream of going further.
The perspiration pushing inspiration,
or vice versa, was beginning to take form.
It had the freedom like
a gazelle feeling its oats, and space
on the open, airy African plain.
Our bonding dissolved!
That cheap string snapped everything back
into a dull, meaningless reality.
It sprung condor's wings released
from an earthly yoke
on its young, naive, singular path alone.
The closest thing to open that moat,
to enter its kindgom,
of inner flight disappeared
eater by the air of consumable reality.
The first joy of discovery
such a sad day,
getting to meet that place.
The impossible dream of things lost,
and regained.
That day boldly stamped on its pliable,
red face, of taking the liberty,
of its dynamic leaving.
What were those feelings beginning to grow
to new skyline outlooks some day?
Leaving it to imagination
of a final resting place, with new toddler
perceptions taking hold.
How control was learning to ride
the bronco again...
starting next time with a whole new fury.

Title: She Kisses Rainbows
It's a poem I wrote about a girl who doesn't know
just how wonderful she is. What can I say?!?
The mirror has no point of view,
Your face lights up the room,
You can't find beauty inside glass,
Trust me on this, you're beautiful,
Your face is beautiful,
Your eyes touch me,
Your voice is comforting,
Your hands touch me softly,
You're more than just a girl,
You're more than a friend to me,
Your soul is beautiful,
You're all my sympathy,
She kisses rainbows,
She sleeps inside dreams,
I love the sight I see,
You're all I need it seems,
Your hair's softer,
Than any touch of mine,
My heart is yours to bleed,
You are my light, my shine,
Your smile's the sweetest thing,
Your tears are beautiful,
Your heart's a mystery,
A promise to fulfil,
You are my prophecy,
You are my guiding star,
Your kisses are what I want,
Your love is my laughter,
You're the reason I smile,
You're the reason for these desires,
You're incredible;
You are beautiful...
(Exquisite by far)

--------------------------
Awe
Life holds still and stops the time.
Entrance is seen and known.
Heads turn and eyes stare.
Heaven has fallen and hell burned.
You have come again into my room,
And a portrait is painted forever upstairs,
Never will it fade or lose its flavor,
An eternal piece of art created.
------------------------------------------
Heart Flower
Its roots branch out,
Spreading into the ground
.
While the stems grows long,
Pumping liquid pound for pound.
So fragile are its petals.
So delicate to the touch,
For when the wind blows,
It flutters way too much.
Swinging to and fro,
Dancing to Nature's melody.
Such a beautiful creation,
Made for only you and me.
------------------------------------------
Look at Me
I was stupid to play with such deadly thoughts
To play with your soul and heart
I had no idea it would hurt so bad
And break our friendship apart.
I was ignorant of your feelings
I paid no attention to the emotions deep inside
I acted like a kid with not a care in the world
I guess I didn't think smart and set my sense aside
Basically I'm trying to apologize for my actions
I am begging for forgiveness on my hands and knees
To say how deeply sorry I really am
Hoping you will understand and see.
----------------------------------------------
Sacrifice of Venus
Two on Two, gently parted,
Held together by roses
Woven by the red gods
What was white and pure
Now made anew
Into a blooming flower.
But deadly are these arrows flung
That strike between the two,
Giving rise to "evol"
And leaving one all confused.
Better to hold in stone,
To anticipate our nature,
To believe the winged cries
Of life as is it silently passes.
-------------------------------------------
Prayer of Man
Spread your arms and let me in
Your warmth, your touch, your caress
Envelop me and put me in your hold
Then come back again, come with me
Only together can I survive.
Open up your eyes and let me in
Portals into time, deep into your soul
For words do not have to be spoken
To see the way to me
Or to let me see you once more
Let your defenses down and let me in
Put them aside and tell me what we are to do
I'm caught in your hold with nowhere to go
Stuck forever in this cycle, not able to move
Please unlock your doors and show me what I need
Just show me your heart and let me in
----------------------------------------
That Night I Was Lucky
That night I was lucky
Lucky to be with you
Such a great beauty
And who's lovely too
All were jealous
When they saw you there
Standing all pretty
And looking all fair
You set my mind on fire
And my heart skipped a beat
Just one look from you
Made me totally complete
A perfect harmony
Between our souls and minds
It seemed that that night
Was the perfect time
For I needed you by my side
Needed you to be close
For without you there
I'd be lost and lose my pose
But you were there of course
That was clearly seen.
You were great that night
So perfect, so nice, so like a queen
---------------------------------------
Top to Bottom
What is in the past and not here in time
Is written in the stone of the mountain
And not on grains of sand
That wash away when water is coming.
For this will stay forever in thoughts and minds,
And will never be forgotten by me or you.
But the road is long and bright at the end
And we have many paths to choose.
Together is always better than one,
So let it go and let it be
Let us travel with each other
To the future and beyond,
just you and me.
---------------------------------------
Picture Perfect
True I am young,
But only to the eyes.
In heart and soul
Does my true age lie.
But I'm aged in soul
And strong in heart.
My love fills the air
So we shall never part.
I know what I see
And what I see is true.
A photograph in my head
An image forever there of you.
Your eyes shine and glimmer
Like the night sky above.
Like diamonds of purest quality
That I do so dear love.
Your body, soul, and mind
All together so beautifully.
Like a paragon of elegance,
Like the goddess Aphrodite.
How your lips are soft.
Your kiss so sweet.
That one longs for more
To see the lips again meet.
The heart deep with ecstasy
Like my love for you.
Higher than the sky can reach
And deeper than the ocean blue.
You make me whole.
You make me one.
Our love combined,
Linked together like the moon and sun.
Forever we shall be,
Never to part from each.
No matter what happens
I'll be in your reach.
I love you is then muttered.
The three eternal words I say
That combines our earthly bonds,
So that together forever shall we stay.
Just remember my love for you,
And that it will never die,
And forever exist and live
In my heart, soul, and mind.
-----------------------------------------
Hello and Goodbye
To think of life,
And to live it full.
To understand your goal,
And what you must do.
A thousand years of living,
A thousand years of death,
Let me control your life
And give you breath.
Let time pass at pace
And watch the hands go.
The shores lapping the sides
Keeping time too.
Swelling to its peak,
And crashing to the sea,
Watch the sun come up,
And see the sun go down.
Life can be empty and void,
But death can save me.
--------------------------------------
The Way of Death
The river is dark
The sand black
On this beach of death
All is still
The people unmoving
On the river Styx
The boat just floats
In the thick fog
Darkening your sight
You pay the man
Wearing a cloak
His small fee
Upon the boat
You take a seat
As you float along
The light shines one way
The fire burns in the other
One shall be your path
One for good
The other evil
It's the way of death
------------------------------------
My Clock
Wave after wave
Hits the shore
As the tide goes up
And as it goes down
Carrying debris
>From many worlds
They land here
On my shore
The eyes watch
As people change
They see for me
As things advance
These are the waves
The tides that lap my shore
This is my way
This is my clock
-------------------------------
The Lone Man
In the dark, dreary night
Bare lamps light the street.
A man in a tux stands solemnly
Dancing to an unknown beat.
Then the light of day hits the horizon,
And the man seems to have disappeared.
For now standing in his place,
Is a beggar with an unshaven beard.
Sleeping on an empty bench,
Unmoving and still as a statue,
He lies forgotten,his past unknown,
A stranger to people old and new.
Suddenly the lone man wakes up,
And starts to stare around,
And also begins to beg for money,
But doesn't even get half a pound.
Lying all by himself
Without a place to call home,
He goes back to sleep,
And continues to roam.
-----------------------------------
A Blaze
Wrapping around anything within its reach,
It burns and scorches with its terrible wrath.
Leaping from prey to prey,
It destroys places, people, and animals.
Nothing can stop it,
Or change its deadly path.
It doesn't want to stop.
You hear the cries for help,
But must stand helplessly by.
For what can you do
Against these terrible flames.
They lap all around you
Making you only able to stand.
Watching it helplessly,
Knowing you can do so little
Against the laws of nature.
---------------------------------
The Silver Maple
Standing on a hill,
Reaching out for power.
Sun hitting each leaf,
Giving energy to each bough.
The color so strong,
The bark so powerful,
Words can not describe the effect.
So solitary as he sits,
As if waiting for something or someone.
Is he lonely?
But so many companions live in each part.
And why is he so powerful?
Man has sent him to a terrible path.
Oh, poor Silver Maple.
-----------------------------------------
Light
The bright lightning strikes,
And it strikes hard.
With a snap of its fingers
It flashes and dies.
Followed by its companion,
Thunder rumbles and roars.
Shaking cities and children,
Stirring fear and dread.
Beautiful, yet deadly,
It can stir a crowd.
Like powerful lasers,
It burns and destroys.
When it hits people,
They may survive,
Or see the eternal light.
-------------------------------------
Sky
The sky rises above,
To all that can see.
Nice on some days,
Grumpy on others.
The house of God,
The place for clouds,
It's the place of purity.
Where birds fly,
And kites soar high,
It's the sky.
With blue as its color
And white in top,
It stays above us.
Where one can look,
And find peace and quiet.
It's the sky.
The sky is the place,
It has no end.
Where all can be free,
Living forever, living in eternity

"Welcome to my World"
I close my eyes
feeling you inside my heart,
Drifting into another world
this world we part,
Soaring through the clouds
your hand in mine,
Reaching new heights
crossing over the line,
Sparkling stars
silvery moon,
Dancing faieries
and angels too,
Laughing and crying
oh, such joy,
We ride a rainbow
riding to the end,
Where is my pot of gold?
Oh, it's in your eyes, it is,
Where is the sun?
Ah, it's in your smile,
What a magical kingdom
we have landed in,
Happiness all around
laughter in the air,
Basking and glowing
in the love I feel,
So I climb to the highest star
and look upon your face,
I shout to the universe
Ohh, so happy am I,
To love you so freely
to share my world,
Take my hand love
and welcome to my dream,
Be my king
and your queen, I'll be,
Let no one intrude
upon this moment,
As I softly, gently,
warmly, taste your lips,
Gazing into the very depths
of your tender soul,
Assured of a love so true
given so completly,
The search is over
yet the magic prevails,
Why is this?
the magic lives in your love,
It lives in all you do
All you are,
And all that you become,
The magic, my love
is "You"......

THE INSOMNIAC'S PRAYER
The ripening berries
summer's last blaze
when her breath is of jasmine
and phlox is her sigh
let me dream, then, of summer
and float through the haze
peaceful breath
bed of poppies
ceiling of blue sky
Let me float
like a feather
in the arms of the breeze
let me drift
like a leaf
on a tide upstream
with the murmur of water
the soft hum of bees
in a garden, in peace,
in sleep, in a dream
Send me love's angels
to watch at my bed
golden of voice
and silver of wing
two at the far corners
two at my head
with my dreams all of heaven
when, softly
they sing
Send me a light
that can never grow dim
love, like a candle,
to lighten my heart
empty my mind
of each worry and whim
and the ghosts
of night's mantle
that tear me apart
Till I float
like a feather
in the arms of the breeze
and drift
like a leaf
on a tide upstream
love make me wise
through life's cruelties
sleep dry my eyes
make me still
let me dream.

TEMPTATION
Wrapped in vanilla air
with fresh-washed hair
I approach you and your unsuspecting yawn
like an evening shadow over a lawn
Dressed for passion's kill
when the night is still
I come wrapped ready to be undone
a present with a future soon on the run
I am temptation's tongue
while the night is young
The future author of your past regret
though you do not even know me yet
Saviour or nemesis
to kill or kiss
close your eyes, blindly enter the dream
where love flows smooth and silken without seam.

but the birth of a love grown deeper yet.
Beautiful
dear son, come home.
The dank streets hold no hidden key
to unlock youth's impatient dream
of glorious future destiny.
Beautiful

Sleepless blackness swallows the day.
All beauty lies, all pleasure dies,
for loss of the love that slipped away.

"Welcome to my World"
I close my eyes
feeling you inside my heart,
Drifting into another world
this world we part,
Soaring through the clouds
your hand in mine,
Reaching new heights
crossing over the line,
Sparkling stars
silvery moon,
Dancing faieries
and angels too,
Laughing and crying
oh, such joy,
We ride a rainbow
riding to the end,
Where is my pot of gold?
Oh, it's in your eyes, it is,
Where is the sun?
Ah, it's in your smile,
What a magical kingdom
we have landed in,
Happiness all around
laughter in the air,
Basking and glowing
in the love I feel,
So I climb to the highest star
and look upon your face,
I shout to the universe
Ohh, so happy am I,
To love you so freely
to share my world,
Take my hand love
and welcome to my dream,
Be my king
and your queen, I'll be,
Let no one intrude
upon this moment,
As I softly, gently,
warmly, taste your lips,
Gazing into the very depths
of your tender soul,
Assured of a love so true
given so completly,
The search is over
yet the magic prevails,
Why is this?
the magic lives in your love,
It lives in all you do
All you are,
And all that you become,
The magic, my love
is "You"......
OUR GUESTBOOK
When you're done jumping around the web, PLEASE come back & tell me what you think.
Wrapped in vanilla air
with fresh-washed hair
I approach you and your unsuspecting yawn
like an evening shadow over a lawn
Dressed for passion's kill
when the night is still
I come wrapped ready to be undone
a present with a future soon on the run
I am temptation's tongue
while the night is young
The future author of your past regret
though you do not even know me yet
Saviour or nemesis
to kill or kiss
close your eyes, blindly enter the dream
where love flows smooth and silken without seam.

COME HOME
Beautiful
relent, come home.
Your room looks as it has always been,
though quiet now, while the garden outside
unfolds in tender April green.
Beautiful
come back, come home.
The bed is made, the table set.
Forgiveness is not the death of pride
but the birth of a love grown deeper yet.
Beautiful
dear son, come home.
The dank streets hold no hidden key
to unlock youth's impatient dream
of glorious future destiny.
Beautiful
oh please, come home.
Sleepless blackness swallows the day.
All beauty lies, all pleasure dies,
for loss of the love that slipped away.
