Summer song
summer long
summer sounds
of summer throng
...

Blanket of ignorance start to unfold.
Blindness has led me bold
yet naïve, to this strange place
where life is a woven web of lace.
...

Leaves deepen to orange ember
as twilight comes,
sky drifts to smother the day,
swaddling memories in soft pink clouds.
...

Och Men!

Ye canny live way thum
Ye canny live without thum
...

Who is behind the veil,
behind the veil?
Who sees what others
only think they feel?
...

Dark devours the hurt,
cradled under coats in the cusp of safety,
far from prying ears
a tear,
...

Epicurus states our responsibility.
In all my meekness and volatility,
irresolute am I to appear.
But for him it was crystal clear
...

Always be an avid admirer of art
Always blaspheme the blasted bigot
Always count the calm caresses
Always debate the damning defect of duty
...

You can pray for perfection,
But you’ll never find it.
And it’s not because God’s not there.
You can search for it,
...

Masks slip, faces seen
reveals a little of what's been.
Keys fit, gates swing
melodies of old sing.
...

Dance with me, just once more.
Dance with me and feel my heart beat.
Hold me, make me safe, protect me from the music
That staggers from beat to beat.
...

Are dreams merely shadows
of a self that is unknown?
That break the body, mind and
soul to energies unflown.
...

I can hardly see you for all the tubes and monitors they’ve attached you to my little one.
You look so frail and poorly.
Oh how I wish I could hold you – but I can’t.
Just hang in there, be strong for Daddy.
...

Mistress of all of life’s situations,
Greer-like warrior; ancient emotions.
Labyrinth of self deceit – denial
of archetypal scales that sway, the man
...

What do I miss?
I cannot tell you what I’m thinking
I cannot say how I’m feeling
I can manage tears
...

An individual’s touch on time
Has a universal presence.
Feel it’s tone, hear it’s chime.
Traits of time
...

Babylon Barcode, the 7 pointed star.
Telling a little of who you are.
...

War of Casualty, casualty of war
War of insanity, insanity of war
War of reality, reality of war
...

Love is the answer
Love is the key
Love is all enduring
Love for you and me
...

Shine, shine like the sun
Now that summer's begun
Live, life like a dream
Shine, shine, shine like the sun
...
