Scenes around us.




Living in a mile of ocean
Stumblin on a second hand
Waving to the scenes around us
As we take drink of our bitter brand

Searching for the real salt pearl
Leaving no stone unturned
Dancing to scene around us
As we step away from being burned

Will the fire burn bright
Right thru the night
Will there be ashes
Of our love

Waiting for a rain of manna
Wandering in the sands alone
Hearing the scenes around us
As we pick up another dry bone

Staring at the red orange sunset
Dreading the day ahead
Embracing the scenes around us
As we slip into our trundle bed

Will the fire burn bright
Right thru the night
Will there be ashes
Of our love

For Lady Rose MacClare


What a horrid way to start!
Oh my Rose you break my heart,
Yet you are so quick to move
In and about with something to prove

Let’s start again, and this time slower
I will love you, as you get older
If you still have a need for me then
If not, I’ll say “oh my we loved back when”

My Fantasy


I stood in line with all the rest
Watching you in that cotton dress
Unaware how pretty you are to me
The smile you gave to each anew
One by one the patrons slid thru
Until again it was my turn to see
………….. my fantasy, my fantasy

The magic in your eyes and smile
Would make an hour wait worthwhile
We share names in this daily repartee
Is it really intimacy
Or merely friendly privacy
Alas again it was my silent plea
………….. my fantasy, my fantasy

Alone I find myself again
Waiting this time with pen in hand
Mere feet apart could be a mass sea
For in our time, we never talk
Or chance a moment to be caught
Until again it was my time to leave
………….. my fantasy, my fantasy

My inspiration




You are my inspiration
A muse,
Unbounded exhilaration.

Your smile
Demure yet accented by
Those eyes
A window to bold intrigue

I pause
Though you are three steps ahead
With plans
Fabric in Venetian red

You reach
For my hand and say quickly
What if,
But I’m lost completely

Alas
You are my inspiration,
Though near
I fight for inhalation.
