Drawn In CrayonAn evening breeze tickles the leaves on trees;
and an ancient oak tree creeks, sighs, and heaves.

A symphony of saffron and chiffon
composes a sunset...

Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew
To which image, oh dear...

Oh Love If You Remember MeOh, love, if you remember me, 'tis true,
A faded echo whispered soft and blue.
Like distant music, on the wind, it floats,
A melody of moments, shared in secret notes.
Did stolen glances, laughter light and free,
Leave any...

Sully Ebony SkiesSunlight rises like a phoenix
from the charcoal ashes of night.
And sets the eastern skies afire,
lit by Dawn's splendiferous light.
Orange, yellow, and tangerine
ink scattered clouds of misty grey.
And a mix of pastel colors
confirms that Sol is...

When Love Has Egyptian Blue EyesIn the depths of the Nile, a mystery unfolds,
Egyptian blue, a story yet untold.
Your eyes, a mirror, reflecting heavens vast,
Where love ignites, a passion meant to last.
Not sapphire's fire, nor ocean's endless hue,
But pharaoh's whispers,...

Yes If Only This Love I ThirstYes, if only this love you thirst for burns,
A desert wellspring, where your spirit yearns.
No parched despair, no longing unfulfilled,
This love, a chalice, patiently instilled.
A cool reprieve, a sweetness you can taste,
Banishing dryness, a love...

Spring - AndareeAs the snowmen melt into patches of green,
daffodils soon appear on the scene.
And o'er the squeak of a swing,
I hear Robbins sing;
a sure sign
spring
is online
greening everything.
The wild geese have taken wing
and the sun sparkles like...

MIRROREDMIRRORED
Who you see in me is you
Not who you’d prefer to be
Perhaps obscure, less clear
But as you really do appear
To others, who look to see
But eventually, to yourself
And understand what’s true
Over time, you may realise

Is it the hero to whose brave image we should cling
Or the sage, whose deep knowledge impresses us all
Perhaps the bard, whose melodies we hear him sing
But even the ferryman,...

To Which Image Should We ClingOh, to which image should I cling?
To an image that won me some bling!

And I knew I...
