Till When or Then

Standing on the shore of uncertainty

I have to wonder, where we are going

my heart beats to a sense of urgency

circling there's a deep fog of unknowing

perhaps, dreams are dissolving, dissolving

          dissolving.....

cool  rippling waves break at my feet

changing the course of my footsteps

misty clouds, signal a time to retreat

why must the journey be complex

Tell me is our time together fading

as this mysterious world keeps revolving

or; are we on the threshold of evolving

will brighter days be there waiting

Standing on the shore of uncertainty

I have to wonder, will we meet again

will I search for you through eternity

the ocean moans, till when or then

perhaps, dreams are dissolving, dissolving

          dissolving.....

cool rippling waves break at my feet

changing the course of my footsteps

my heart will not give in to defeat

it is weary and needs time to reflect

Tell me is our time together fading

as this mysterious world keeps revolving

or;  are we on the threshold of evolving

will brighter days be there waiting

perhaps,  palming words will strengthen

our resolve, to solve...solve...solve...

Till when or then...... 

  Till when or then.....
    Till when or then...

Solitude Speaks Volumes

Phoenix Rising

  I am weary, the quest to enlightenment has not been easy.  I often wonder where I've been

and where I am going.  It feels like I am caught between two worlds.   I seek solitude at

twilight.  There is a sense of peace as I gaze to the heavens.  Tears fall from my eyes.

I feel I might choke on the salty waters that I try to suppress.  Closing my eyes in

silence, I ask creator for a sign.  A sudden wind,  shifts my attention.  I open my eyes

to an amazing sight.  The phoenix hovers in a setting sun.  Encouraging me to dry

my tears, spring arrives renewing my spirit. There is light beyond doubts and darkness.

eternal brightness
awakening my spirit
phoenix springs forward

Checkmate - Who Really Wins

Singer Castle - Truedessa's Collection

I dreamt of knights in shining armor

guarding a castle  across the harbor

there was a king in search of a queen

in a place that he had never seen

I dreamt of pawns caught in a game

moving cautiously, hiding their shame

 battle of wits, but who would win

in the corner, the jester widely grins

I dreamt of a queen in search of a king

in the courtyard below, a troubadour sings

enchantment softly whispers in her ears

drifting in a sea of slumberous tears

I dreamt of a castle somewhere in time

where there is poetic verse and rhyme

between the rook and king, slightly unseen

under the tapestry of life awaits a queen

I dreamt of a kingdom where light reigns

 heart of a dragon, magic always remains

together in this land, they wear no crown

proclaiming love in audible verbs and nouns

Interlude

I.

star light
shimmers in her eyes

dreaming of an interlude
desire intensifies

II.

moon beams quiver
silhouettes slow dance
beyond the curtains of night
gasping for air

III.

sunrise
tangled lovers sleep
blanketed in enchantment
warmth in their hearts

The Drone of Time Takes Me to Another Zone

artist unknown

my poetic life hums to a hand-held drum

meditating, relaxing my mind

         thump, thump, thump, thump

 bidding farewell to the nine to five

         tap, tap, tap, tap

pounding out sequences of facts and

logic my left hemisphere is busy in

a cubicle world caught in the black

and white of paper and ink

but, wait in my peripheral vision there's

a diversion. 

blue skies and golden sunlight

dance beyond the reflective glass

A crow perched on the parking lot light

awakens poetic thoughts of sprouting wings

and taking flight...

daydreams take form in beautiful color

poetry unravels taking me on a

faraway adventure...

my right hemisphere is bursting with

life, there's a melody playing in

my head my imagination knows

no limits and my muse is delighted

dancing to a tune only I can hear
