A fisherman works
In tandem with the sea
Taking only to feed his family
So tomorrow he may eat

To you I would kneel
To you I would make love
To you I would gift all time
For you I am ready to die
For your kiss I would learn

Let me see the love
Let me see the love
~
Show me the love
Let me see its character
Let me hear those words
And witness each action
Let me feel desired
Wanted and thought of
Let me see the love

Resolute love
Resolute love

My love stays strong, resolute
I stand firm amid a promise
to myself more than any other
that I gift my all, my final breath
to the one I love, freely
so they may live

The Sleeping Dammed
the sleeping dammed
miss the mornings dawn
in all its beauty
a time of the day
good for the soul
birdsong, sunshine, peace
underline serenity
who would wish to miss this
a time to gather thoughts
missed by the sleeping dammed

Spring
Spring
~
the flowing river, leaves
and spring returns once more
flowers bloom from nothing
filling the air with fragrance
sweetly this picturesque beauty
in all its annual celebration
serves to tell the world
the beauty of creation

Sabbatical
a time taken
to breathe
undetermined
re-evaluate the world
take stock of thoughts
and reassess them
allow the soul to rest
the heart to sleep
and the mind to be free
time has it own value
time is limitless
and it will be taken
to breathe

With a love
With a love
~
with a love like this
I have come to know
a joy in the simplest things
found in one I love
the time we spend together
echoes with a richness
of time well spent
and to be spent again
with a love like this
I smile upon her name

On Being In Love
This love, our love
it came unforeseen
and silenced many questions
a wish now answered
peace gifted to my heart
sweet love has flourished
where it was unexpected
now welcomed with warmth
and held tightly close
for this is a love
I shall never let go
