Someone Like You!

someone like you makes me smile

someone like you goes the extra mile

someone like you helps me forget sorrow

someone like you makes me  long for tomorrow

someone like you sets my soul on fire

someone like you stirs my inner desire

someone like you makes my heart sing

someone like you  mends my broken  wing

someone like you to  watch the clouds pass by

someone like you to help me soar the sky

someone like you touches my soul

someone like you makes me feel whole

Somewhere In Between

painting musical instruments

Dreaming under a honey coated moon

my mind strays smoky thoughts of you

your silky voice melting me away

let me love you, come into my room

two shadows sway against the wall

caught in the rapid rush of night

growling saxophone playing our tune

warmth caressing hot  bare flesh

hungry sighs the hum hum sound

unbroken shattering the silence

somewhere in between here and there

between love and paradise we dance

between love and paradise we dance

somewhere in between here and there

Dreaming under a honey coated moon

bodies surrender , slow and smooth

your gentle hands, trace my frame

I touch you here, you touch me there

bodies quivering  to the jazzy beat

playing in the heated flush of night

satin sheets tangled at our feet

pillow drenched with our scent

clinging tightly to our love...

hot trumpet playing in our head

sliding hands along the keyboard
striking some chords..click click clicking

slow and easy bay....be..

  slow and easy

    

somewhere in between here and there

between love and paradise we dance

between love and paradise we dance

somewhere in between here and there

slow and easy bay..be..

 slow and easy

  we dance to the rhythm of jazz

The Dragon's Lair

In a balmy late summer breeze

Truedessa  & Captain Pat Hatt

along with the rhyming cat

continue their journey at sea

Under dazzling yellow sunlight

searching the  endless waterways

cat leisurely naps catching warm rays

peering forward, spectacular sight

Double rainbow arching the sky

misty haze smell of fresh fallen rain

Truedessa softly singing  refrains

Captain Pat breathes a warm sigh

feeling the ebb & flow

  I drift further  into sea with  you

feeling the ebb & flow

  I drift further  into sea with  you

Captain steers the ship ahead

Truedessa smiling with glee

perhaps, the rainbow holds the key

cat shaking his head with dread

Could be a portal to the other side

where the emerald water shines

colorful crystal, beautiful designs

boundless as the oceans rolling tide

Holding tight under the archway they go

sailing into a kaleidoscope of wonder

burst of lightning & cracking  thunder

shifting  atmosphere, radiant glow

Captain declares to the right land ahoy

anchoring the ship they row to shore

lush green island waiting to explore

plenty of white sand cat purring with joy

Strolling the beach, cat digging holes

shimmering below  a golden lamp

rubbing the side, air becomes damp

blue black smoke swirling out of control

Truedessa  grasping Captain Hatt's hand

cat ready to attack, wickedly.. sneering

ghostly figure suddenly appearing

through the haze a mystical land

Genie,  unleashed before their eyes

bellowing who awakens me from my sleep

setting me free, a reward you will reap

but, first a deed to acquire the prize

Magical compass & map if you succeed

you must enter the dragon's gruesome lair

free the white hare,  a dangerous  affair

terms stated... hesitantly...they agreed

Creeping  the dark cavern floor

snap & crackle of broken bones

surveying remains of the unknown

pending danger hard to ignore

Sharp claws, glittering scales

deep  golden eyes, rush of heat 

smoke filled cave, fiery beast, 

cat hunting the scent of his trail

Fire breathing dragon ready to brawl

Captain Pat swinging his mighty swords

Truedessa chanting magical words

white hare trembling against the wall

Music fills the chamber hypnotic song

weary  dragon slipping into a  trance

Captain Pat Hatt  taking a chance

grabs the white hare, singing along

Rushing down the mountain side

toward the beach wild and free

longing to be back on the sea

blue genie waiting full of pride

 

Now, the mystical island will prosper

with an abundance of growing love

flying on gigantic wings above

dragon once again our gate keeper

Truedessa & Captain Hatt smile with glee

taking possession of the compass & map

cat yawning, exhausted he needs a nap

twinkling of an eye they are back at sea

Sleeping under silent stars & silver moonlight

new treasures to help them on their way

towards the coral reef & emerald bay

reaching for each other whispering good night

lost in the reflection of your eyes

  a sea of hope resides

lost in the reflection of your eyes

  a sea of hope resides

That Tragic September Day

I remember the dream of a terrible accident

someone had been hurt on a September day

I saw a body, the paramedics, in a haze

and... I watched in horror in my sleep

I felt the anguish of a dream, a premonition

of what would come in the near future

I couldn't see his face , knew not what to do

who to warn, who to save, oh what a fate

I saw an angel hovering over a limp body

whispering soft words, a tremble of fear

I felt the dirt under my nails, the smell

of blood, painful cries of those nearby

I remember the chilling phone call...aching silence

as the nightmare unfolded a tragic reality

I knew who was fighting for each breath

as fate played out before our eyes

I cried with your family at the news
sense of strong will & a host of prayers

I had faith you would survive

under a watchful wing you healed..

I remember that day in September

it will haunt me to the end of time

I thought if only I could have warned you

bonded by a dream, silent screams

I remember that day in September...

authors note: This is dedicated to a friend...I remember...like yesterday..
