I enfold
my coral

Returning to Port
This ship is
weary
from a long
voyage at sea.
The storms of
life
have bashed
against the
mask
Ripping it to
shreds
only shreds
remain.
Bathing in the
rain
churning against
the bow

Looking Away
Suddenly looking away,
Trying to hide sorrow,
Always looking past today,
Looking for tomorrow.
Tears trickle down a face,
Catch the falling rain,
Breezes gently stirring,
Drying on her window
pane.
Rain falling on the ground,
Filling all the meadows,
Teardrops lying all around,
Creating lots of puddles.

The Long Ago
Today I found an album,
Covered with the long ago.
Tied with pretty ribbons,
Of the past, someone I
know.
Opening up the album,
Savoring moments, as I go.
Silhouettes emerging, of
Someone I used to know
An artist paints his canvas,
His picture all aglow.
Two lovers in the garden,
Walking in the long ago..

Sand Castles
Once upon a summer day,
I saw a little girl at play.
She sat alone, a boy came by,
Her heart went soaring to the sky.
He asked her to come and play,
We'll build a castle every day.
One day the boy began to frown,
The little castle tumbled down.
Children build castles every day,
But rain can wash the sand away.

In The Shadows
I met you in the long ago,
Constant and sincere.
Standing in the shadows,
Waiting for, to hear.
Approached you in the
evening,
Just before the early dawn,
Later in the morning,
When the dew, was on the
lawn.
You have always been there,
Emotions to fulfill.
Standing in the shadows,
You have, and always will.

Promıses
four white stallions galloped
across the landscape
In tow a lovely lady riding
in a make-believe carriage
The day was filled with promise
Promises for a better tomorrow.
Suddenly the horses became
annoyed
Refusing to yield to the lovely
lady holding their reins.
Her task at hand, corral their
energies
And so she did.

Queen Of Hearts
The queen of hearts
has made the scene
so lovely, and
serene
an air of mystery
came to play
her royalty leads
the way
in purple and gold
attire
such a picture to
admire
when the queen of
hearts

Thoughts Of You #2
As soft
breezes
blow.
Touching
my face
cooling
I feel
you near.
In the
sighing
of
leaves.
I listen,
the
whispers
tug at
my heart.
