Shadow
(Preview)
She finally learned she was ne'er one but many, clashing a darkened soul. She heard the whispers mingling with her sweet voice, but tried so hard to ignore. Alas, as all fate goes, the storms came and washed clean; Shadows moved and lights broke free and she was left to see. Stark truth hunted her like a d...

Reminiscence

When I listen
To the sweet turtle dove
Sing in morning:
I will remember love,
With and without tears

Ice Queen
(Preview)
Ice Queen
Standing by a frozen river -
Snowflakes glittering on her silver hair and eyelashes
A tiara of icicles proclaiming her beauty
And a dress of white lace flowing down her body -
She gazes at the sun,
Eyes of a deep blue noon sky
Wisps of breath echoed across the snow covered tree...

The Leaf:

I've seen my life upon a leaf
as it fluttered on the wind-
Spiraling high then falling low
it followed 'round a bend
Of a shadowed avenue long
and straight
And I wondered then where

If you check my list you can see I have a 2004 and 2005 edition of this theme... both unique in their own way... I have no explanation as to why I have no 2006 edition... I'm sorry about that. But here is one I've finished just 5 minutes ago. Do tell me if you like it: ~ -- Edited by ALEXE at 15:34, 2007...

Possibilities
(Preview)
Dissipating, an early morning fog sleepers drift as the sun breaks through daring to disrupt the peaceful to bring in yet one more day. And what will the day hold? For the woman sipping coffee, she'll find love, bursting with joy she'll fall into arms so passionate yet deceitful. For the man coming hom...

Lavish stars and moons Burn bright in joyous bliss As aromas of night blooming lilac Waft in clouds of still air Such mystical night - Spy on a woman in a rocking chair Softly humming a humbling song For springs gold-tint baby Laying placidly in caring arms Aloft, rays of a lullaby In worship, wrap Its ti...

Cross Thinking
(Preview)
Cross
into a new region
of mindful thinking
Where colors spin tales
and whispers draw shapes;
Lost faces become reborn
while babes grow old.
Enter my world
of knowing the unknown
Take my hand
I'll lead you
As we cross
into a new region
of thinking.

Dreaming Beauty
(Preview)
When the sun is shining
Illuminating the pristine dawn
How silent and fair the pale satin face
Slumbers next to me, eyes of a fawn
Silhouettes fall across the hills;
As the sun rises,
As the morning is red,
I hear the sweet lark sing
Then I hold your hand,
Its skin softer than the silk
Which dr...

Conductor
(Preview)
This is a poem I wrote for one of my favorite composers, Eric Whitacre. I personally don't think it's the best but since Poe has requested it, I will post it along with a picture of him.
Conductor, conductor, take us on a trip
On the Ghost Train through the canyons
While we, all alone, dream of home and...

Like the purple petaled Clematis, I open myself up
Allowing the world to touch me, explicitly, delighting
In the little things that turn my fancy; With cool colored
Intrigue, I unfold a million storie...

Just Reach Out...
(Preview)
Just reach out . . .
However high we climb
There will always be
Another obstacle
Obstructing our path
In every blue sky
A grey cloud
Will block
The suns warmth
Casting a chill
On our upturned faces
But if we just reach out
Even in the darkest of nights
There will always be
. . . a waiting han...

Cullercoats....A Memory
Once more I stand with shielded eyes,
Against the noonday sun.
Echoes of my childhood days,
Combine with seabirds cries.
I see the rockpools where Id spend
Long hours as a child.
Enthralled by creatures of the sea,
The ocean was my friend.
I feel the glistening...

Brothers:

*In dedication to my step-dad Johnny and his brother Larry*
Fifty-four years, sibling bonds
three weeks of heartache
with more to come;
Dear brother do you know
how it tears him up inside
To watch you wilt on life's stem
as you painfully cry?
Diligent and loyal, he's there
holding your ha...

How do the clouds keep so calm?
These keepers of silence,
Who meander with nowhere to go and nothing to sense,
Trapped with no ends to their beginnings.
Do they feel pain in leaving no printings
Of their travels of wisdom of our balm?
While we look to them, singing our psalm,
Do they know we do as t...

Humanity's Decline.
(Preview)
Refrain the moon from amply shining
Harvester of souls dutifully mining
When all the dead walk the roads
And the nightbird cries out his call -
Then stories old will be stories told
And summer rains will plummet cold
Mist will be the coat of the damned
While Eternity unfolds for all.

My Words Are Written By Another Poet...

She writes my thoughts so perfectly
and I don't even know her;
Yet I feel deep down in my tendermost
place that she knows you.
A chill creeps over my body
and a darkness settles in my soul.
Does she know what I know and does
she participate too?
I wish I could find the words
she constructs so beau...

It started with a tiny thread, so miniscule and insignificant
And light that gleamed of dullest gold, breaking through
The shadows.
Came a voice, softly singing upon the wind, blending in
With a summer storm's tempest.
Fate locked its bars and twisted the road, no smooth pavement
For the tr...
