Only Make-Believe

"It's only make-believe..."

It may be only make-believe but realenough for us until the season's sighscan drift and melt our dreams' reality.A time for us to touch. Caressing blisswith every cat-like purr of vibrant trust.We move along the patterns of the gridthat maps our place, our home within this worldthat lives expands...

And Now I Truly Feel

"It was our time I now remember well"

It is a time I should remember well,the feelings special still when I recall.It may be true the thoughts of you are spreadacross the years and visions do not cometo me as I would wish that they might do.If you should ever...

Prairie Poetry Suite

"Lift your wings unto the winds and rise"

Eyes open slowly,the horizon spreading out.Awaken with joy.Bird songs whistle andfill our ears triumphantly.The prairie is alive.Blue skies above us,scarlets and ambers blending.Blossoms have appeared.Viewing the landscapeas we share the atmosphere.Breathing perfumed air. Hands entwined warmlyfeeling the moisture mixing.Sharing our heartbeats.Breezes carry notes;winds sing happy melodies.Our voices...

I still recognize thetimbre and the tone.Hear the sound of her voicedeep insideFrom her voice in my mindthat one time.Only one time did we speak,share ourselves.Only one time did shepaint my heart with sound.Said my name, and it brought me tears of joy.Said my name,can you understand the...

Above a Balustrade

"When lost within a dark night of the soul"

Her visage glimpsed above a balustradeAnd from a distance wonderment arose.Enchanting, pristine character most staid,Serenely dreaming, peaceful, at repose.Perhaps she is not tranquil deep inside,It might be true that passions roil within.Her face may not reflect all she may hideRepressed, unseen, proud fantasies abide. The two of us might share supernal glee,Together...
