Beneath the sweetest rose,

Spring dreams of sunlights love.

Silk visions of earths sweet repose,

While wondrous angels laugh above.

Shoreline footprints silhouette,

Beneath oceans of love.

Waves found me again,

Crumpled on the paper beach,

In the storm.

Laughing night-shadows whisper,

Softly by porch-light.

Furtive daylight listening,

Unfurled at the door,

Flutters into flight.

Timeless music,

Sweet crystal harmony

Echoes on the breeze.

Dances down the valley of silence,

Singing joy.

Country conversation threading

Old quiet roads together.

Farmhouse, hills, tranquility.

Farmers pursuing dusty gossip,

In quaint pubs.

Before the end

I want everything.

But at the end,

Only distant life thoughts,

And death, my lover.

Although these next two were done seperately they go together extremely well.

Clouds passed the creeping bracken,

Lonely, moist, beauty.

Shadows touched with dew,

Where earth dreams whisper.

 

I touched upon the clouds,

Delicious bracken shadows,

Through soft earthy thoughts,

Lonely dreams whisper,

Enfolded in darkness.

Small dusty symbols dance,

Shadowy figures shifting reality.

Melodies rippling, wavering, glimmering.

Resurrecting vibrant emotions

And transforming life.

Unreal night

Sky leaking lifes water

On floorboards.

He cannot scream,

He can only breathe,

Keeping life awake.

Memory of a golden place

Mothers tropical garden.

Papayas, Mango, Banana, Fig.

My playing place

Midst her delicious bounty.

His warriors fierce

Outcast Forlorn.

Marching amongst hot ashes.

Then - Confusion at the gate!

Alas.... uncertainty found the end.

Gray Assassin

Unmarked enemy.

Never weeping.

Never named.

Passing unknown.

Who is this strange, lonely man?

An unmarked grave

Where lips whisper dust

Below grey granite epitaphs,

A solitary, barren lullaby for the soil.

I will desire,

I will love,

I will laugh,

And at the end

I will be deliciously rich!

His hands grazed

He stumbled forth,

Fresh upon his fathers call.

Equal to the task.

Worn child of Eden.

Suffering humanity.

Haunting people.

Searching

Cursed images

Helplessly embraced between Knowledge and Power.

Smoke ribbons coiling
 
Like air serpents.
 
Sliding, wrapping,
 
Drunken into the sky;
 
And found the soft rain.
