A lantern is no longer lit
Near this cell, where I must sit

Darkness plagues my every day
Yet in this narrow space I stay

Golden skies, in this empty place
Soar across, in an endless race

Yet, I cannot see them with my eyes
I see them in my mind and try

To recreate a land once cherished
Where land and trees forever flourished

And flora once did overwhelm
When I was ruler of this realm

jetty-593401_960_720Sunset beckons the tides to roll

Drawing you deeper into your soul

Reaching beyond the calling of day

Taking you farther and farther away

As nighttime descends upon oceans of blue

Covering waters with darkness anew

You slip past the shadows of ebony night

Awaiting the comfort of morning’s first light

For Alyssa…..


In the darkest storms

She is the brightness that glows

When light cannot shine

Is it the heat of the night
That sets my skin on fire
Or is it your sensual touch
Filling my soul with desire

Is it the touch of your lips
As you offer them to me
Or is it the brush of your face
Against my skin, tauntingly

Breath by breath, together
We become as one
A soft caress, your whisper
With words, I come undone

These feelings overwhelm
As our bodies rise and fall
Sweet love does possess
Dominate and enthrall

Tranquil waters of aqua blue
Trees of emerald, earthen hues

Lavender scented breaths of air
Sunlight scattered, without care

Gossamer strands of lightning flash
Colors that collide, then crash

Into beauty, where nature lays
A glorious path, a brilliant display

Beguiling, in a subtle embrace
Behold her message, carefully placed

Amongst these many treasured things
She lets you hear your own heart sing
