Remarkable

I hear too many songs about hearts that are broken

Wandering minds from words unspoken

But we have a bond nothing can sever

Remarkeably strong, lasting forever

Go ahead grief and try to bring pain

We'll only grow stronger; our love will remain

Justice

Hooray! a shout for justice!

Everyone got their due!

Happy smiling faces

No clouds; the sky is blue

This is a banner day

actions in the right 

Everything intact 

Virtue won the fight

Let's hear it for truth!

Principles defined

But I hear a whisper 

The hearts we left behind

Converge

I write the poems

You give me lines 

When we converge

Everything rhymes 

It happens that way

Every time

I write the poems 

You give me lines

Trouble

It's all that I can do

To hold it all inside 

I tightly cross my arms

Maybe I can hide

Some claim to understand

Their smiling sweet intent 

While I explode inside 

With no way to vent

Some may look at me

As nothing but trouble

I'll stick those who know me

And let them all grumble

My deepest thoughts reside 

apprehensions and fears

The more I am pushed

Realities are clear

But I will hold my dreams

Knowing someone's near

While we dance inside

Until that time is here. 

 

Tales

With a bitter face 

He told his bitter tale 

She tore his tender heart

And didn't give a care

Never waste love 

On petty boundaries

Let them work themselves out

While we enjoy each other

Each minute we're in love

That lasting estacy

We will pull in close

Lest the world impose on us

Let it keep its bitterness

It's striving for the wind

We will keep ourselves

Making sweet tales

 

 

What We're Made of

When I think of failure

The awful tragedy

Isn't loss of things

It's lack of poetry 

A life with subtle meanings

More than merely chance

Should life appear itself

Or stem from a romance?

A bang can place your stars 

A gamblers expanse 

Mine were made with care

A place where lovers dance

You'll never find the answers 

Close or far above

Energy and matter

We are made of love

Predawn

Darkness, silence and cold reign

A memory 

Light, singing and warmth 

Of times past

Where is morning? 

Seasons end with grief

We must endure

New days begin

We will enjoy

The cycle of life 

Will this winter end?

Darkness must turn to light.

Grief give way to joy

It is ordained. 

We will defy this silence

Darkness may reign for now

Let's sing with the birds

And welcome the dawn
