Surrender

One more look over my shoulder
One more thought of things I love
One more step into the distance
One more deep breath and off I go

Hidden deep within me
I hold my heart so tightly
To keep the pieces together
As it shatters once again

One more smile to linger on
One more touch of gentle hand
One more time I close my eyes
One more time I hold the tears inside

In the future I will be more wary
Of loves sweet seducing tunes
Block my mind from surrender
That leaves us all so vulnerable

Fragility

Reaching out my arms to you
Touching your face softly
So much pleasure taken
In simple gestures of love
Hold me gently to your side
Feel the fragility of my love
As it beats against you
In time with your heart

My Morning Coffee

When I rise, I smell your sweet "aroma"
DRIP, DRIP, DRIP
I'm addicted to your
Hot,
Black,
Creamy, Flavor

SIP, SIP, SIP
I "savor" every warm sensation you give
From the first "taste", to the last drop Damn, Starbucks aint got nothin on you


Night falls...my cup is empty


A new day is dawning, and
I can't wait for...


My Morning Coffee
"You are good to the last drop"

Cityscape

A swirl of shadow races across
The clear blue sky that seem to hang
Turning mid-air to follow a pathway
Imprinted on the memories of hundreds
Vanishing behind trees and houses
To reappear on the cityscaped horizon
Twisting once more they fly past
To land settling on tiles and guttering
Roosts long argued for by nature
As the starlings rest for the night
Jostling and crying out into the night
Amazing feat of aerobatics gone
To be remembered again tomorrow

Armchair

Curled

Here in this armchair

I can go to the edge of time

In my head

I travel through the heavens stars

In my heart I can reach out

To you

Another Day

Another day, another month
They come and go so swiftly
I blink and then turn the page
And the seconds race right by

Another tear falls over my skin
To join the river cried before
Moving on seems so easy
Just one step then one more

Today is just another day
It begins and ends in night
The sun rises then falls away
The moon will come again

Strength comes from lifes adventures
It lifts us from the grief of this world

Imprint

Upon my heart there is a scar
It's the imprint of your love
Indelible by time or space
This wonderful touch of you
Eternal bliss your legacy
Given to me so sweetly

Upon my memory there lies
The imprint of your face
Smiling as we danced
Eyes sparkling with joy
You whirled me round
Our feet in perfect time

Upon my soul there is
The tiniest piece of you
It's the imprint of your love
Forever remembered here
All I have to do is close my eyes
And I feel it once again
