Where I am heading there’s no light – you brought that with you too; it rested in your golden hair and when you aren’t with me here I’m left in darkness and despair. Where I am heading there’s no sight […]

Memories I’d forgotten surge forward to beleaguer my brain when I see your face again Forever ago we lay in the grass in my parents yard after class looking up into the branches of the old beech tree, wondering how […]

The happiness we find along the way we’ll lose someday but the happiness we find within ourselves will never stray; it stays to warm our hearts and guide us right on till the end – do not believe in buying […]

Yes, I remember but if nothing had hurt there would’ve been nothing to remember – just the same dreary, empty days I forget – repetitive chores I forget – an endless cycle of regret If nothing had hurt I wouldn’t […]

My memories escape my brain invading my surroundings I can remember what remains of thousands of ventures however incomplete they are alluring anyway do you remember too, and will you listen? Will you stay? Do you remember afternoons with ice […]

Do you remember me, restless sea? Do you remember the girl you’d have swallowed if by some miracle unknown to me I hadn’t been saved as I in you wallowed. Do you remember the deed you near did and would […]

There is a voice which calls to me: “You Can’t Drown” – water-borne I drift around within this sea, was I not too of water born? So much has moved beyond my reach as I seethe in this sea of […]

What do you know about the road into the wilderness – framed by the pines in silent lines of endless loneliness The road, the road which trails its track through miles of forest-land, without a destination, void of end, beginning […]

You gifted me a beautiful word but as I touched it fell apart Bits of dream now litter the floor of chattering people’s wills where left to wither they bury all ideals

The moon has placed itself within my grasp – I lean towards it over the side of my boat and dip my finger in it It beckons me: “Come; come closer”, talks to me through the ripples, mesmerizingly, and only […]

It’s spinning – the child, the world spins along, around and around to the sound of the song Fugitive of the world in spindrift at speed, dancing around till over it keels, weak But the world keeps spinning, spirals out […]

On a riverbank I sat resting my feet, my back against a steadfast reliable oak tree; if I could be as patient what might I not achieve? I’d grow into the heavens if I dared to believe. But those qualities […]

I may, may not have given time away to futile pursuits, but I have no regrets for sometimes the fruits of our days will not appear to us till old age – so I have no regrets for the time […]
