A New Decade 2010

Fog of Loss

The air is cold instant tug on my sleeve
like a tiny reminder that time has passed
and so goes another year
When the heart is distraught
there are only a few things
that cause a moment of pause and clarity
To move into a blur almost as a way to protect
and shield an image from fading
like pages of an old love letter
Yellowing with age its only enemy
But what the mind holds as precious
can only be altered when the heart has taken a step
out of the fog of loss and grief
letting go of what once was the only path worth traveling

Christmas 2009

To: JYates, xxoo TYates

Holidays and cheer watching the first snow fall
There is a flash of your eyes from days gone by…
Along with a chill in the air
Keep the cold at bay and memories close to my heart
Swept up in a moment when your hand was in mine,
Tightly wrapped around mine…
Recall a warm glow, your smile star light and crisp,
Gentle flow of love and affection
Like the perfection of our first kiss…every time
Music floats dancing as snow flakes swirl...
Remember,
“…when your hand was in mine darlin…
Your hand tightly wrapped around mine
Your hand in mine…tightly wrapped around mine,
never letting go…your hand in mine…”

December 2009

Fine Line

Night falls pulling at my heart strings
like the notes of a tragic love song
sung with that familiar 13 bar blues riff
emotions hit on the up beat
rather than on the down
flip side quick ride
never leaves me lonely
but in this place of spaces in between
where silence is seductive
I wait to hear from you
a slight touch
or whisper
in the night
something that can keep me
from walking a fine line
to the very edge
that once was more of a life style
than just a thrill…
