Come lie with me
Among the wildflowers
Fragrant with the promise
Of mornings first light

Come lie with me
As sunlight dances upon us
Under skies of blue
And faceless clouds

Come lie with me
Amidst the moonlit shadows
Gently caressing the night
A fantasy of stars
Dancing in the heavens

Come lie with me
And dream
Of yesterdays and wildflowers
Of sunlight and clouds
Of moonlight and stars
And tomorrows yet to come

An old man rocks gently
Lost in his thoughts
In his own little world

An old woman sits next to him
Rocking gently in time
Her hand on his
Lost in her thoughts
In her own little world

They startle
And stare at each other
Wondering who it is
Staring back

They smile
For a mere second the memory is there
And they rock, hand in hand
In their own little world

question-mark-358177_960_720I do not understand
Why time passes by
Yet stands still

Why a moment can be fleeting
Yet we are caught in it

Why we hate to love
Yet love to hate

Is it that we are
Afraid of feeling the heartache
Of time gone by
But unafraid of causing the heartbreak
Without a moment’s loss

Afraid of defining our own worth
Within ourselves
But unafraid to define others inadequacies
As they stand before us

How can you say you are living a life
For the moments, the time
The love and the hate
The heartache and the heartbreak
Yet claim to have no life worth living
I do not understand

lake2012A lake glistens

In the shadow of the mountain

As the trees bow silently above it

Recalling quieter times, of whispering sunlight

Of daydreams and wanderings

Of two bodies, intertwined

Upon the trail of passion

Of lust, longing

And forbidden love

I’d like to introduce you to Night Owl Poetry, a part of who I am.  An extension of my regular writing/blogging, my poems are both light and dark, happy and sad, they are reality and fantasy, they are you, and they are me.

The name Night Owl Poetry was a collective from my family.  The reason, well, it’s when I write.  Anywhere between midnight and 4AM, on any given night, you can find me typing away in my office.  Like now.  It’s 2:45AM, I published a new poem called Tainted, and here I am writing to you.  My family knows not to bother me, although they do check in once in awhile. They are my incredible support team 🙂

My poetry is simply me.  I hope you enjoy reading….
