To Those Who WaitOne day, someday
May it be
That day, finally
You and me
Leave together
The same car
Home is waiting
Brooke's guitar
Rain may fall
But I won't care
Big snowstorms
Await us there
Passion's heartbeat
Still alive
I made it to
One hundred five...

Storms Are FierceThey keep on rolling as the incoming, rapid waves splash,
and with them they bring an army of hungry shellfish;
a cemetery of shells pave the long stretch of this beach...
never walk barefoot: as Lora did, she...

IncarnateIn me, now is an insatiable thirst,
I know well that I have lost my track.
I have gone astray from my God, all goodness incarnate.
Searching Him, lonely and longingly I stray,
To place Him not in...

A few stands of misty moonlight
The ink on your chest is...

Laces And Soulful Paceslike opposite shoe sides, tightly secured together
meeting each other’s needful strides, two different species
making sure-footed, secure bow-ties – though truth seldom in
mating’s many polished, too often only briefly

HopeShe longed to hear his laughter
and see his smile for real
to be in his arms for comfort
and oh the warmth she’d feel
She dreamt of times together
but loneliness tugged her heart
she desired his tender touch
but they...

ApathyI wrap my fingers around the pen
which has lain dormant collecting dust
for months on end feeling as if
I'm lifting a fifty pound weight
straining not just my joints
but my brain, its neurons refusing
to fire like the...

Gray May
This gray sky
Of May does lie
In lackluster color
A futile eye
With birds too shy
To sing, or fly
Through April's chill
March lingered still
Soaking in chains
Of rain's domain
Why this delay
Of lilac days?
If I could task
A humble ask
A bit of...

EquivocationI know my wrongs,
They were never right,
Lost in a blindfolded love,
Mistaken by what to fight,
For,
Loving you has taught me,
Either unification,
Or,
A deceived perpetuation,
From a closed door
Rekindling of first...

Send me on my way to rhyme

Are now more often than they're not
My seat, an Adirondack chair
It's one of two just sitting there

Near to YouI would do most anything
If it meant I'd be near to you
For a minute, for an hour
For a lifetime, maybe two
To see you at a craft fair
Or at my favorite store
I'd take whatever you...

Real Men Don't Cheat on Their WomenGod simply made man and woman
to be together for the rest of their lives,
it's a blessing this heedless world

and it's so rare nowadays
to see two people in love
and promise each other to...

The Seasons of Our LoveOn summer nights
Nostalgia's muse revives
Scent of jasmine
Fig tree fragrance fuses
Memories meander
Minty ice cream flavours
Add sweetness to hungry kisses
Star gazing to cricket symphony
Roof top whispers of love's infinity
Days drenched with salty waves
Sun flared skin...
