For the few of you who requested to see some of my poetry - here is a little sampling.

This one is being published in a magaine called Pyramid Poetry in February-

Recorded Errors

All is not everything

within the spiritual realm of things.

No one though to decide the matter,

fearing when the ashes scatter.

All is all within one's mind,

stumbling down the paths and winds.

Questions fall through "pulled tight" blinds

believing only the truths we find.

No matter if that truth is shallow

revelations of the cold and hollow.

These answers leave recorded errors

mixed within our sins and prayers.

Holding onto human ways

from which I've lived in my day.

Ordering Banquets in my soul

fighting off the wind and cold.

Wanting all I love and share

to surround me in life's rocking chair.

To tap the gentle rythmned toe

that dances in the moonlight glow.

To hold the spirit deep inside

of joy, of passions sparkling eyes.

To taste of life, to always savor

love and kindness, Nature's favor.

To feel complete...as one who sees

the faith and comfort...

from my knees.

With Me

The Fat Fairie

tricked me

she told me

she'd be

My friend

My family

My love

so sweet....

The Fat Fairie

she left me

with all of her lies...

Wear black,

Wear heels,

Wear no stripes to the side.

The Fat Fairie

she's sly...

She's living

rent free.

She built an

addition...

She's living

with me.

Don't Feel Sorry For Me

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't look my way and think to yourself

"She's so pretty...if only

she could lose some weight".

I know it's a touchy subject

but I don't care.

I am full of life

and love to share.

Maybe it's my private shield,

usually people don't enter

who are not for real.

Sometimes it can give

me the ede.

I'm friends with some

who might have been

intimidated instead.

I've been up and I've been down.

It has been a merry-go-round.

I've felt the sting

of judging eyes.

I've been embarrassed

I have cried.

But I've also found

that I can be.

All that matters

all I need.

I can star in passion's play,

I am free...

I'm not afraid.

Filtered Remains

Followed by sadness

black in my day.

Fearful of gladness

hollowed by pain.

Sweetness is savored

viewed thru the rain.

Somehow remembered

filtered remains...

Solitude teaches,

preaches and cries.

Left to ourselves

without a disguise.

Around me the shattered

judgments that lie,

know not of my shoes,

'nor of my life.

And everything matters

everything breaks.

No wonder the trials

we live make us brave.

Silly hearts notion

Dreams will survive.

Little girls still

make wishes at night.

Blue...

Blue is more

than the general

interpretations of blue.

Blue is gentle

words of knowing

comfort zones of loving.

Blue is hard and black

as steel cold eyes and

anger’s dangerous drive.

Blue is deep

a non-ending spirit of the soul.

Blue is soft

so vast in all it touches

all it cares to behold.

Blue is thoughts

I have from me to you.

Blue is building passions desire...

unbridled truth.

Blue is bruised

when held within restraints

of time and place.

Blue is bluer

when my heart whispers your name.

Blue is here

it fills my silent soul.

Blue is screaming

(the deepest blue)

of mortal dreams.

Blue is erotica

oceans and skies of desire

blue...is enveloping

blue is blue.

Where the world will never find me...

You touch me without being near.

You hold me captive take me where

my heart is shaking from the fear

of holding you....

of not...

I couldn’t bear...the thought.

I want you.

I know I am not supposed to reach

for that outside my boundaries

I have never listened very well...

my heart seems captivated

by your spell of enticement and desire

temptation so strong it consumes

before the day...one day.

When my heart lies with yours

and we discover

all the wonder in our minds

all the passion in our souls

as one...

uncovered.

I want to give to you.

I want to hold you in these

arms that feel you there....

and offer all I’m feeling

all I care...

to show - to bring to your

heart today.

I touch you in my mind

I want to feel you

touch me...

take me where the world

will never find me

......happy.

I feel you near - it binds

my heart and soul in desire

I can’t control.

I need you

one day...

These Secrets In My Soul...

I want to go to a deserted tropical paradise

I want to bask in the breeze where the sun kisses my skin

Caressing my heart and I know...

I want to lay in your arms

as the sun sets on love to explore

passion and freedom and more...

I want to lay in your arms.

I want to shut from our day all the world.

We are but one - two souls...

gravitating against all the rules.

Love does not mean to be cruel

robbing the heart of one’s jewels.

Love trips you up and then catches you when you fall.

Love is all.

I want to discover the warmth of your soul.

Where fantastic riches of the soul

begs my being to behold...

You...to feel the warmth of your touch.

These dreams are not enough.

I want to ravage and be ravaged

in all this passion scene encompassing

holding me endlessly in desire.

I want to know

I need to share

these secrets in my soul...

my heart

my desire

my love

reaching out

for you to know.

Hope Without Warning

Closing doors

peaking round

corners

trying to

escape

yesterday.

Sealing

shut...emotions

left to their

own devices

prone to guilty

mis-interruptions

distorted from

the everyday

ho-hum, boring reality.

Storing away

years of

trial,

rivers of tears

swallowed down with pride,

choked on by

the pain

overflowing

inside,

taunting my

soul's heart.

And I can't

stop...

what has been

there's no

re-write to pen

no time left

to mend.

No Love in

my hands

to share.

Just this

glimpse of

the morning

hope without

warning.

A chance that

we'll somehow

survive.

I Believe...

God in his infinite wisdom

put me here.

How can I refrain?

Life works - yes

in such mysterious ways.

Life’s struggle has

built my very soul.

Trials and heartaches

can make one...

so very old.

And sometimes very cold.

I should know...

I’ve felt the sting

it lives in me...

an unwelcome

menace to my soul

no warmth...no glow

just what I know.

God holds my hand

through forests thick

with rain.

He heals my pain

and sends me back

to try again.

This sad refrain

that bears my name

this solemn shame

this sordid game

of heart...

and soul.

All I know.

God lift me high

to feel the light of love

this burdened soul

this wounded bird

has had enough...

just a little love

just a little love

my eyes of tears

focus through the rain

my heart of years

struggles with the pain.

I know your name...

it’s not the same

I'm Going To...

You break me in

and take me out of my mind.

You hold your breath

then tell me I’m the one

who’s out of line.

I draw the line....

never - no more

I see the door

in my sight.

And I know that this,

this - just ain’t right...

this bitter fight of love.

You shake me, hate me

fill me deep into my soul

this angry cold

let’s me go - alone

regardless of my intent

you look right past

the tender kiss

the sweetened love

we shared - we knew.

You forget in moments

of pain and rage.

You lose track of just who

you are talking to

it’s me...

the one who loved you

suffered to be near

it’s me...

the one who needs you

who wishes you could hear.

My heart beat

my heart bleed in love with you.

Can’t you stop

can’t you feel....

I’m going to.

In All

I am thankful

to be sensitive

to the callousness

of the world....

Otherwise I

would just be

part of it.

Turning cold

on feelings,

growing old

feeling...

superior

instead of

accepting

the innate

Equality

in life,

the beauty

in all

offerings

of the world.

No Moment In Time

Laughter fills my heart

when I share it with you.

Those precious moments

of companionship

joy and love,

hope and passion

fill me with happiness

laughter with my friend,

my best friend.

Love fills my soul

holds me in it's

wondrous spirit

healing...holding

together the dreams

we both share.

Smiling and knowing

acknowledging the

moments that are ours...

the living...realizing.

How lucky we have been

to know...

To touch daily

that zone of comfort

those arms of love...

that reach out and

know that nothing

could ever be so right.

For me...for you

We're lucky - so lucky

to have this time.

I love you so much

no moment in time,

could fill me with joy

without you by my side.

Played Destiny

To feel the

savored closeness

of every moment...

knowledge of our love.

A tiny basket

finely weaved

in fate.

Overflowing with

a lifetime of joy.

To touch you

in the starlight

to feel your

presence in a rush.

Spellbound in passion

taken by your touch.

Held by your

loving arms...

where I am me.

I am completed

I am softly sweet.

To love you

always,

My deepest prayer

will be.

thru life's hard

journey...

you are the

memories.

You are the

seed,

for all

of my

tomorrows...

To be whole

to be complete.

In your heart

I feel the

power,

that our

souls...

Played Destiny.

Our Hopes Unfold

When all around this day evolves

into seconds that are gained or lost.

When every drop of rain depletes,

another hope, another dream.

If all else fails I’ll walk your way.

and together we can humbly pray.

For all is just a lump of clay.

we break, we mold, we chip away.

All is in our hearts and souls.

too much to hold and just let go.

We can build our dreams within...

and shadows of the world begin.

To face, to falter in the night.

when we release the faith, that keeps the light.

We unleash the power of the soul.

and fighting through the wind and cold.

Our dreams become reality.

our hopes unfold and set us free.

Remnants

I want to forget the fitful embers of love

remnants of all you were to my taken soul.

I need to burn from my mind,

all these memories; every instinct I know.

That lingers through the air that I breathe,

as I feel the loss of you so.

I feel the cavern, the tear that you leave.

I know all is the way it must go.

I know so much more that you show

or you leave.

You’re not everything

you’re just everything…I once believed.

I can’t begin to go on, I can’t but I do.

you push me and inside…

in secret…I bleed.

All my heart begs to go,

all my love,

all I know…all I need.

I feel you near

where my heart holds you dear.

I hold you close

I let you go…

or you leave.

You’re not in my dreams

you’re just the reason

I can’t sleep.

So Long The Moments

Miles may seperate

but distance

means nothing to love.

Hours have passed to days and months

and now years have joined the race.

I still need you so...

These feelings never go

from me.

All this distance fuels the fire

and fighting through this blind desire...

I am strangled,

I am bitten,

I am certainly...

not complete.

It seems as if life's cruel game

has left its mark of pain

and I can't take this anywhere

to make it right again.

I search the map to find you where

and I feel the void...I miss you here.

So long the moments of my soul

this heart turned red now fights the cold.

My love, my dream...my fantasy

reaches in darkness to your love so sweet.

My eyes wide open wincing truth,

this hope...this passion burning through.

I hope you guys enjoy these.....
