Words waft by in the cool night air
yesterday has somehow
become my bed mate
and in the deepest space
my heart holds truth
there is a place
full of love and treasures
vignettes never fading
far from view
but as time stands still
for no one
and this life continues
to dance
like a slow step
I've come to know
passion as a familiar foe
with comfort all its own
restlessness and desire
purpose and intent
does unfold this notion
of a new beginning
I recall you once said...
til death we do part love...

No such thing as a dream catcher
when the shades are drawn
to keep the light out
and all that stays too long
like an uninvited guest
are laugh lines
we tend to ignore
so I close my eyes
and conjure images
to rattle the narcissus
I hold so dear
all hopes for clear days and
loving nights
...oh yes such a romantic
heart strings pulled
I'm wearing you on my sleeve
best dress and high heels
stretch for miles
in candle light
lines crossed and long legs
your image becomes a sweet blur
I'm so ready to burn...

Such a wise guy
flip response
makes me laugh out loud
while emotions roll over
like the Queen mother's wave
during centennial this or that
can't quite recall
the gist
or intention of celebration
but there is a shift in the universe
and it's dragging me along
...oh what a delightful ride
no time for one liners
the depth of my soul
touches the Atlantic to the bone
and you have a gleam in your eyes
that makes me question
all that once seemed so mundane
and now the light that shines
throws a brilliant ray of glistening hope
casting away shadows and demons
from a long over due past
my protective garb
no longer serves its purpose
and black linen does me no justice
while standing knee deep in the rising tide
of good will and precious love...

Words to lips fall gently
as pen to paper emotions fill
my heart...still beats
a tender touch
does not leave me
empty
the world
such a simple place
lingering thoughts
turn
into daydreams
while spirits rise
watching silently
from shadows
of a widow's walk
soaring high above
surrounded in love
and translucent light
I wander far less
in stormy nights
unfolding gently
pages yet to be written...
