Reminiscence
One tear
Feelings sincere
The blue sky melts away
The bright sun fades and clouds appear
Today

Another Day
The sun comes up
Another breath
Another day
Another death
A day to live
And thrive and die
A day for
One more chance to try
As life goes on
And slowly fades
All truth is gone
Each day degrades
Never ending
Always flowing
Death impending
Charon rowing

Living with a Broken Heart
Living with a broken heart
Breathing while I'm torn apart
Revival of my spirit grant
Life moves on but I just can't
Present thoughts of future plots
And spots, and shots, and aughts of lots
And dreams of one day making taught
And tying tight that lovely knot
But here I'm stuck at least for now
No chance for love, or ring, or vow
Perhaps one day we'll find our way
So until then, in hope I stay

Ecstasy
Slaving hard each day and night
To bring the world it's dark and light
And aura of refulgence divine
You make the sun wish it could shine
Nature has no chore but this
To watch you bring the world its bliss
For when you're sad and begin to cry
Clouds moisten and open the sky
But when you laugh, bells will ring
Peace arrives and flowers spring
You know just how to make me smile
To me, you make each day worthwhile

My Heart Lullaby
Messages in bottles
Each drifting through the sea
Sidle back and forth
Some are bound to come to me
Appel the bottle when it comes
Gain disclosure free
Emotion then will meet your eyes
Immature, compelled to be
Neophobic you become
As elation adds on you
Butterflys reveal themselves
On this matter, I speak true
Today, a letter of love I sent
To the horizon clung
Labeled “My Heart Lullaby”
Eager to be sung!

Anomalous
What hath a mind
If it hath not a choice
What hath a man
If he hath not a voice
What is a man
If the voice the man hath
Is that of another
On a surrogate path
Rather I say
Inimitably give
Make each moment yours
Expectations, outlive
Bring no shame upon
How you sound or appear
Speak loud, proud,
Conscious, and clear

In My Eyes
Drop the disguise
It's you I prefer
Because in my eyes
You already were
Utterly perfect
That's what they say
You were handpicked
I love you today
The way you laugh
The way you cry
My heart in half
On you I rely
Your beautiful face
Your wondrous eyes
Your sweet embrace
There my love lies

What Is Poetry
What is poetry more than words
Thought into existence by a writer.
What is life than a mystery unspurred
No explanation seeming any righter.
What is death than sad feelings blurred
Friends’ burdens becoming not lighter.
What is love than adoration preferred
A bond constantly growing ever tighter.
What is pain than good feelings deterred
Emotions never growing any brighter.
Poetry is so much more words
Reflecting emotions felt by a writer.

A Year and A Day
A year and a day
Are all that lay
Between me and
My love
A year and a day
Three months 'til May
The year leaping
Above
A year and a day
You scorn to say
Is destiny
Belov'd
A year and a day
I slight cliché
This puzzle I
Speak of

Candela Contention
As the spectral night begins to creep,
Over the sunlit sky,
The armies of light fall fast asleep,
The victory of dark is nigh.
Shadow slithers over the Earth,
Devouring what stands its way,
The moon rises up with a feeling of mirth,
End is the time of day.
As night begins its menacing laugh,
The sun cries out once more,
The battle splits the sky in half,
And light overcomes the war.
Only once a day occurs this clash,
Battles fought and darkness dashed.
