Quiet Morning

In the sleepy haze of early morning 

Before the day imposes on my thoughts

Sunbeams and my dreams conspire  together. 

Memories return of things I've sought 

In the stillness, I begin to hear her voice 

Her spoken words resounding like a song 

The chorus of her laughter makes me  happy

And it's happiness we worked for all along

So I raise my cup to all who know the answers 

My best will be the best that I can do

And navigate my way through all these feelings 

Until I bid this quiet morning, adieu

 

Spirit Eyes

A mind might fear that things die 

Since it only knows substance

A heart can see far more  

Since it has spirit eyes 

A heart knows it is impossible

To let go of another soul  

Although absence hurts

Knowledge is delightful

There remains a delight when souls love 

That cannot be dissolved 

Tears won't wash it away 

Nor can time, distance or dust 

 

The Perfectionist

It had to be perfect 

The right timing 

No way could it go south 

Everything right 

Each hair in place 

Eloquent words

He couldn't bear to lose her 

By making a mistake 

And missing the opportunity

Of a lifetime 

But he panicked  

and said nothing

While she went

on her way. 

Lightning

It hit them like lightning the first time they met 

They beheld in their eyes a destiny set

The power of that look has never been lost 

They knew it for sure, each time their paths crossed

If you look at what happened, life wasn't fair 

But they have a love the world cannot bear 

Though misunderstandings and passions abound

If you look in their hearts, the truth can be found 

There are some things this world can't contain 

We try to express, our efforts are vain 

But that doesn't change what happens inside 

Our bodies get old but our souls never die. 

Possibilities

There is a man inside of me 

Stuck on possibilities

I reassure him life won't pass

We're heading down the perfect path  

He doesn't listen very well  

Has a place he wants to dwell 

Doing right should be enough

But then he cries about handcuffs 

Soon my heart begins to follow

Before long my throat will swallow

By then I make them all behave 

They really hate to be enslaved 

A busy schedule will distract 

And keep them off my back 

Essence

Do you love the blue sky, 

So do I

Do you love someone?

Me too 

Whatever fulfills your heart

I want

What makes you feel whole 

I'll give 

My own ambitions abandoned 

For you

The sum of my motives

Your joy 

When you contemplate 

Remember 

The true essence of love. 

 

Above All

There is a conversation 

That is above all that exists

It transcends silence 

The way life does 

It holds 

Beyond all sensation 

It cannot be satisfied as a need 

But the intensity stays 

Despite all else 

It hopes 

There is no condemnation 

No record of bad judgment

Existence is delight

Lives to care 

It smiles

Thoughts and words 

Have more weight than gold 

Dancing among them 

Heartfelt lyrics 

It hears 

Images

Is that a star I see?

or the lively sparkle 

In your eyes? 

Is that a flower in bloom? 

or the lovely curves

in your smile? 

All the good in this world 

Bring to me images

of you. 

Persistence

Click and ping

My mind is turning 

To figure things out 

Who says it's impossible?

 

Spin and whirl

Reason unfurls 

Just when I am close 

Solutions elude me 

Stomp and curse 

But make it worse 

Adrenaline rush 

This heart is pounding 

Smile and sigh 

A persistent guy 

You know I don't quit 

Nothing defeats me
