Night and Day

The bright sun slipped in and out of hiding

Behind racing clouds, its movement unnoticed 

Day spent, the master of time looked tired 

Yet he scattered his rays making a beautiful show 

Giving evening spark to romantic dreams.  

In his absence the world will draw closer

Huddled together unseen yet very much alive

Using senses that remain with no need of light 

A slow world of repose patiently waits for dawn 

Silence fills the void as though connected to the darkness

Creation holds its breath, knowing the sun will be faithful  

A flash, ever so slight excites the songbirds 

The sun reaches across the sky with glowing fingers 

Pulling himself upward while spilling brilliant colors.

From this start, life skips merrily on its way  

His warmth and light delighting the senses 

While in the distance, others wait for his glorious return  

 

Thoughts

You cross my mind 

A flash of light 

Traveling through my thoughts

Every beam of light

Gives me pleasure

As they Dance with my wishes

I know you sent them 

And it makes me smile 

So I send thoughts to you. 

 

 

Love and Hate

As a kid I saw injustice 

Domestic violence 

It wasn't mother's tears 

But the lack of them 

That caused my soul to rage 

Her love was offered like a dove 

He broke its neck

But the cycle was broken  

Things change over time 

I have to lay aside the hatred

Lest it consume me 

And avoid things that remind

Lest the demand for justice 

Destroyes love in everyone's lives

I also found a love for someone 

That goes to the core of my being

I thought what was in my hand 

Had been rejected

My soul raged because it cut so deep

But I had been misinformed

And so this love began to consume me 

I had to lay it aside

While many things remind me of her

I must focus on the good 

There is so much love to give others  

God forbid this demand for justice

destroy love in everyone's lives

Strange how hatred and love 

Can be so similar. 

When things cut deep into a soul

It is impossible to forget  

We can only lay it aside 

for a time 

Calm the raging voice 

Chose to give love 

And do what is best 

Masterpiece

It comes as a feeling 

Starting in your chest 

You look at the mountains 

Take a deep breath 

An inspiration 

grips your heart

Everything's clear

Bringing a tear

Impressing your soul 

It's what we live for 

We're passionate beings

Look past the illusion 

What's your heart seeing? 

Let the music keep playing 

Let the image give awe 

Rhythms are beating 

We're a part of it all

This word is our gallery 

We make the art 

A great masterpiece

Meet the artiste 

Alive in your heart. 

I'm not Plain

I'm not plain 

I'm not old 

But I am me 

There is a crying boy 

A mischievous son  

There's a tough man 

Who loves freedom

There's a faithful parishioner

A courteous prude 

There's a boisterous brute

Who can be very rude 

There's a dreamy poet 

With tender care 

There's an indifferent Slav 

Who is hard to bear

There's a diligent worker

And a lazy bum 

There's a boring guy 

And one who is fun 

The ultimate lover

So Considerate 

A loser too 

Who don't give a shit

Such a comfort 

To snuggle up with

A scary guy

From the abyss 

There's a scholar 

A serious study

The class clown 

Who is very funny 

Add them all up 

And shuffle them around 

There's a real guy there 

Few have found 

I'm not plain 

And I'm not old 

But I am me 

He Said, She Said

She said the words, I love you

He said those words again 

No words were more sincere

Proclaimed upon the wind 

Her voice was filled with sweetness 

She bared her inner soul

He trembled with emotion  

The greatest gift they'll ever own

And hope will rise above the tide 

The winds of time are sure to blow

They won't care how dark the storm is 

Their hearts will cling to what they know

He said the words, I love you 

She said those words again 

It shields their hearts in every loss

And holds them firm until the end 

That's What Happens

We lose our grip on reality 

Yet we find it for the first time 

Our desires go awry  

Yet we finally find their source

It starts out in confusion 

But ends in clarity

That's what happens

When two people fall in love.

It's a pleasurable pain 

A grieving euphoria 

Our bodies are affected 

And our hearts race on their own 

When it's not satisfied 

Butterfly's become ulcers 

That's what happens 

When two people fall in love
