A Joy Deferred Today the sun came out again, I always knew it would. The wind is cold but that’s okay, Spring’s on it’s way that’s good. Before too long the days will warm, The leaves once more appear. The birds return their lovely songs, Are what I long to hear. To feel the grass…

Not What They Thought Beneath a cloudy midnight sky, A deeper sort of dark. Upon the air a cop’pry scent, Drifts slowly ‘cross the park. Through thinning clouds a wat’ry light, Sifts faintly through the trees. A shout, a shot, a bestial shape, Now topples to it’s knees. Not far away in these same woods,…

What You Can’t See Good morning love the day begins, l see you there and smile. I’m so in love l cannot move, Just sit and stare a while. The sunlight turns your skin to gold, And I let out a sigh. Your beauty’s more than I can take, A tear comes to my eye.…

The Lies Myself Tells Me I fear the time has come I said, As I sat there alone. I found that I agreed with me, Been too long on my own. I used to argue with myself, Don’t bother any more. The fact is I’ve learned to my grief, I am a dreadful bore. But…

The Best Things In Life Are… You! Dear Universe, I’d like to say, A thank you from my heart. For bringing me this person who, I’ve loved right from the start. My love provides a piece of me l didn’t know was gone. She gives so much, brings me such joy, My strength to carry…

We’re All In This Together (Except For Those Who Aren’t) Dreaming the days go drifting by, A bit of truth in each. Some grasp the dream and take from it, The lesson it would teach. So many more are lost to it, Content to blindly sleep. They push the dream of truth aside, Let life…
