What Crosses My Mind

  • The Next Day (Why Paris?)

    When sun arose to widen sleepy eyelid A calm begun soon turned memory horrific We wake shadowed in darkness, a slow embrace Shattered dreams begun inside stranger despair. The news however distorted cannot rid Crying heart, confused eyes, reality’s prolific Mastery of human nature’s fallible race. Once thrive her eyes this morning lacking air. No…

  • Quiet Intersections

    When tears would will in sight were our lives I watched you walk, still forty years later survives. ~ Just the trace of boots stepping across pavement no eyes yet, only the roots of then just as love meant ~ Today our lives are romantic we choose to recall, spend moments imagining, a tantric soliloquy, dance,…

  • Home, Then, Perspective

    When I glance today, I can bask in a vague recall of those times, young love, innocence weren’t we all some time wanting the drag of hours, minutes, years to give chance … ~ the streets are the same, rows of maple I do have to try hard to remember just how exacting my life…

  • Whisper Security

    I was told everyone carries the same anxiety, I walked into the room and asked the man boldly, can you tell me what it is they fear so assuredly, he said, that’s not the issue, the point is variety. ~ I’ve always wondered about the man in the suit, the woman groomed with a svelte…

  • Self Preservation

    When once we imagined our lives to be free we balance the hours of time in this way. We always imagine the day ahead will be an easier margin for error than was today. ~ Sunshine in morning autumn burning leaves we recognize the sheath of summer’s end. When while the wind begins Her steady…

  • Standing Still

    Oh, if only to manage clever skill as that mystique, beauty, time standing still. Whilst we recognize our own effort will play a role, have merit, provide our fill. ~ If our eyes were open complete today we would feel the horrors, the brilliant sway our prolific sphere, humanity’s way come full circle. Please join us…

  • Words Inside

    This is for everyone whom desires certain meaning when inside their mind, their struggles are apparent This is for that sunny afternoon that stares tempting while inside the mind, our fears we still relent. ~ A long time ago in a couch made of leather a man spoke to how our words may reckon decisive…

  • Beauty is Love

    ~ We try to define our concept of beauty in glamour and complement, rich in hue yet wild while indecisive fear give plenty to insecurity we are left feeling only the blue ~ We pattern our actions to design a facade masks that some would protest to be real when examined difficult arguments we’d laud this…

  • Imagine Love

    Reveal to her the essence of your love As she will revel perhaps then pass it on When heart’s content feels exhilaration Love together extraordinary With frequent yearn, eyes search the sky above Pastels in streak of surreal when done We cannot wish bliss, such satisfaction To discard spiritual love nary A soul might discover solace alone Our rainclouds…
