Winter, how your colors fade

Oh, how I long, for leaves of jade

To take the gray, away from me

And paint the colors, splendid, free

Which quietly wait, a resurrection

Blending, a palette of perfection

With beauty rising, innocent of

The gloominess that you so love

Let me close my eyes, and see

How beautiful all things can be

Alas, you do not hear my cry

As I gaze into your barren sky

siren-1191032_960_720Her calling brings longing
To souls lost at sea
Songs of the Siren
She sings them for thee

For men and their ships
Who have sailed to the deep
She callously draws them
Into eternal sleep

With songs from the bottom
Of a watery grave
They’re captured by beauty
Forever enslaved

And though they all know
These tales of the brine
Still they go searching
Time after time….

When Words Fade ~ #poetry

What happens when the words just fade?

When thoughts no longer are displayed

Upon the empty parchment, where

They used to dance, without a care

Poured so sweetly from my pen

I need to find those words, again

The ones that bared my heart and soul

Emotions, I could not control

Perhaps, they’ve found another place

And I am just another face

Perchance, they’ll once again return

To quell this everlasting yearn
