Fisrt Bloom

The first sign, the birth cry Of a desperately awaited Spring It shelters under the naked tree And tells me that the cold will stop. A splash of white under a concrete sky It stands, the only tender thing In Winter's wastes, I smile as I see The soft sway of the first snowdrop. Sign in to see full entry.

Sand Castles

He builds castles in the sand Not knowing if the tide This time is low or high. He builds palaces, grand Chateaux of skill and pride With towers reaching to the sky Each one constructed and planned To stand majestically by the sea side While the surf whispers nearby But if the tide is low then,...

Confusions And Quests

May I sing to you of other days, Other places, other times, When people followed other ways And committed passion's crimes Without pause or regret? May I sing of towers and of knights And stories no one can forget Of the triumph of love and right? Or shall I sing of now and here, Of confusions and... Sign in to see full entry.

Mover

A rolling stone, he gathered no moss; No attachments, nothing deep, Moving on he felt no loss There was nothing he needed to keep And the next place would me much like this: Nothing special, nothing new, Nothing to speak of, nothing to miss. He wasn't staying, he was passing through And would move... Sign in to see full entry.

Pirate

I am a river rat, a pirate And make no mistake I leave plundered merchants Irate And wailing in my wake As I sail away with piles Of their ill gotten gains. I'm rich in gold and rich in smiles And free from shackles and chains, Living life in my own way Upon a lawless sea And when I die they will... Sign in to see full entry.

Spring's Embrace

The day blooms in a golden serenity of light The dour, grim greys of winter dispelled by sudden sun In a preview of Spring's warm delights And joy tints everything, everyone To reawaken beauty in the glummest face And enchantment in the bleakest spot. I wonder if there's anything as kind as Spring's... Sign in to see full entry.

Library Fashions

The laughter trapped within my eyes Often escapes between my lips To dance across the silent room And whisper in grim ears. I see them flinch in quick surprise As a rogue chuckle softly slips Through the silently oppressive gloom To make them involuntary pioneers Of a brighter, braver style. The...

Jazz

A low moan of jazz sleazed out of the speaker, A cognac tainted invitation to a world no longer there It echoed in the empty corners of a world turned somehow bleaker Displacing the frantic, frenetic rhythms of the theme songs of despair. The soft wail of the clarinet wafted in the moon light, The... Sign in to see full entry.

Night Song

Eyes wide against midnight's shroud Pillows damp with sweat and tears, The residue of those disturbed dreams That leave me desperately awake In terror of imagined things. The music breathes just loud Enough to calm my foolish fears And, in it's beauty, it seems To leave contentment in its wake. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Relax

I am not wise, I do not ponder deeply Or seek to know The meaning of it all; I don't advise Except to sleepily Suggest you go And give somebody else a call But there's one thing I've come to understand: No matter what you've hoped and planned Tomorrow will work out in it's own way So just relax and...
