The Hidden Path

The Through familiar fields I walked

Staying where I ought 

Flowers all in bloom 

An intoxicating swoon

A path caught my eye 

A place I hadn't tried 

Enticing yet unknown 

Til then I hadn't roamed

It wouldn't leave my mind 

What lies beyond the pines?

My world became too small

So I had to risk it all 

I soon became so lost 

A friend, our paths did cross

We had both strayed from our fields 

Became each other's shield 

We helped each other home

The path now overgrown 

Our fields are pleasant still 

But we can't forget the thrill. 

Though briars and thistles guard 

Staying away is hard 

As the path becomes obscure

We hope someone appears

 

 

Ambiance

Alive through accusations

Wished dead by some

Rose again despite it all

Though time demanded 

A memory of silence 

But love lives still

Endures abandonment 

Growing on hardened paths

Despite travelers

With utter defiance 

Duties are for the world

Love makes no demands

Beauty should be admired

Beyond the sunlight  

Embracing a soul's ambiance 

Enshrined

Thoughts will dwell within this busy head

New words just roll around in there unsaid 

Some want to pass my tongue, but they are barred 

Yet some will still escape and pass the guard

Once out into the air they're moving fast 

I fear what they will do outside my grasp  

At times the loss can be a pure relief

I'm sure some of these words will give me grief 

New thoughts, my mind will make a hundred more. 

They wait in line to find an open door

Some words will hit my gut and cause a bile

Sweet thoughts touch my heart and make me smile

They get out of control I must admit

My head will start to spin, it has a fit

I try to let them out then wait and see 

They seek someone who wants a part of me.

If you will take my thoughts and hold them dear 

The joy is more than worth a thousand fears

So I invite your thoughts into my heart

And we'll build a shrine to each remark 

If

If I could 

I'd hold your hand 

To help you feel

Someone who cares 

If we could 

We'd talk it over 

Convince our hearts 

Someone is there 

If love could 

It'd show the world 

Fill it with awe

Reveal a joy 

If God could 

He'd fix it all

And every if   

Would be destroyed  

Night

A soothing voice awakened me

From a dream filled sleep

I heard a rustling in the trees 

A midnight bid to keep

The moon sure looked surprised

As he peeked around a cloud 

Cool air caressed my neck 

A mist rose from the ground 

There's a certain beauty found 

In the moonlit dark and greys

Without the shining sun

There's nothing to betray

I've been this way before

We've a long eventful past 

A deep Infatuation 

As the thrilling shadow's cast.

She shares in all my dreams 

It's what the night does best 

My heart gives her ideas 

While my mind remains at rest

 

As the world lays down in slumber

My senses are renewed 

Goodnight, my dear friend

Till day obstructs the view.
