The following set is from a time of love and heartbreak...

Sleep

Sunshine melts the morning haze
As she sleeps so soundly peaceful
Dreams drifting behind her gaze
Through a tender mind so wonderful

I can only lie beside her staring
At a woman so beautiful I burn
Inside and bubble over with caring
For her embrace I crave and yearn

Should I wake her from her bliss
With desire from within me wanting
Just to draw her to me with a kiss
As mind and body begin panting

I will wrap myself around her softly
Feeling the warmth of her breathing
As I drift back to dreamland gently
My soul alive and flush with feeling

In this state of bliss we lavish
Each moment spent asleep until
We can awake together to cherish
Each loving desire we can fulfill

*****

Baja Way


She took my hand down Baja way
To spend our time in sunshine
Laughing and loving while at play
She wants me to know she’s mine

I want her to know about a place
Inside my heart for she and I
To exist as one in this race
Of life we’ll win side by side

I love her as the only one
That lights my fire everyday
She took my hand into the sun
She took my heart down Baja way

Joshua Tree

For years she has dreamed
Of a place filled with trees
And Joshua it seemed
Was a destiny for me

A desert sky vibrant blue
Against an earth so barren
Memories of contrasting hues
And our future of caring

Sun melting into glowing fire
Freezing our moment of bliss
A desert alive with burning desire
All waiting for a simple kiss

Glorious night sky of glittering stars
Reflecting inside eyes so green
All the love on earth is ours
I cherish you my wonderful dream

That night Joshua stopped to see
Our moment glowing and life begun
Souls together and meant to be
Forever growing and never done

The desert silence was our song
Drifting upward into the stars
Two hearts melding into one
A lifetime of love to be ours

*****
...all things end.

Alone


Today begins with a sorry feeling
A day to continue with ominous tone
It will not end but keep me reeling
In a constant state of being alone

Tomorrow will begin the same
Drag on with a belabored moan
I participate in this daily game
Standing always empty and alone

Weeks will pass as life goes by
I sense the sadness and groan
Do I give in to this or do I try
To keep on living all alone

Months continue to start expire
As I struggle to find a home
A refuge in which to build a fire
Where I can finally be alone

*****

Down


Falling towards a speeding ground
Escape from fate in not a choice
My life is coming crashing down
I scream but no ears hear my voice

I burden her with days of sorrow
She accepts them as if her own
Pushed to not want another tomorrow
Only to be away from my sad drone

Tears stream constant always down
Away from my heart they flow
I wear heartbreak as my crown
Someone help me find my glow

Buried under worlds of heartache
Digging only covers me worse
Suffocating with each breath I take
Time has become a terrible curse

I cannot do this just with me
All smiles have faded to a frown
Lost in sadness I look for she
The only soul that can slow me down

Spiraling toward uncertain destiny
I hold my breath as I drown
Someone cares so please rescue me
I’m falling stumbling crashing down

*****

Lost

He sits quietly deep in thought
Alone inside he struggles in pain
Covered in worry with fear he’s fraught
No other can bring end to his disdain

He contemplates a life he’s given
What has it been each long year
For each person from it he’s driven
Away from him because of fear

No one he has ever cared for
Has been allowed to stay for long
Scared he pushes them till no more
Will they listen to his sad song

He protects himself with calloused cold
From love of others at all cost
This boy this man is growing old
Running from life he is lost

Whew.... Okay, that's enough for now. Much more to come.
