Wonderland World of Madness

Lost dreamer exploring corridors of her mind

falling head first portal of madness , unconfined

White rabbit caught, rotating hands of time

no hello's,  no goodbyes, late absurd crime

Mad Hatter invitation for tea, mayhem at six

quick with a quip, magical hat bizarre tricks

Mysterious Cheshire Cat, disappearing with a grin

cryptic tongue,  prophecy, crazy world mortal sin

Garden of white roses, painfully painted red

covering innocent mistakes,  sense of dread

Queen of hearts, tainted, void of compassion

ordering off with their heads, decapitation

Wonderland , chaos threatening survival

declaring harsh verdicts , before a fair trial

Seeking justice, growing world of insanity

stumbling upon freedom, laws of humanity

world of imagination, land of hidden dreams

subliminal messages, all is not what it seems

Fallen Angel

In my innocence I fell under a spell

love casting shadows of uncertainty

for in my body your spirit does dwell

locked in my heart for all eternity

On the wings of night, I silently cried

willingly falling from heaven's grace

minor injuries, suffering wounded pride

longing to be wrapped in your embrace

Torn wing falling to earth's harshness

searching dark pools, reflective eyes

flickers of hope, flashes of brightness

visions of inner peace, my spirit rises

Distance bell rings, spreading my wings

in my heart loves grows, I begin to sing

Journey in my Moccasins

My favorite shoes are my soft moccasins

two flowing feathers, earth colored beads

slipping my bare feet into leather skin

My eyes behold a path known only to me

walking sturdy,  forest of wandering dreams

seeking knowledge, soft whispering trees

My ears listen for direction, drumming  beat

hearing distance shrills, red tail hawk guides

awestruck , two visionaries we cautiously meet

My legs quicken their pace,  climbing mountains

 each day a new adventure,  marking the trails

taking sips of life, cool fresh waterfall fountains

My heart holding precious keys to my desires

pounding it's  song, under  my warm  flesh

with each urgent breath I walk coals of fire

My soul yearning to embark on a dream quest

where my purpose can be fulfilled in this life

then, I will remove my moccasins & finally rest

Autumn's Last Bloom

Fall pushes onward, crisp pine air

crunching leaves, brisk autumn day

shadowy trees sway, branches bare

beautiful flowers have faded away

caressing warm moments, new dawn

wrapped in a thick quilt of dreams

two silhouettes, curtains softly drawn

moonlight peeking, crystal  beams

bed of chrysanthemum full  bloom

healing  petals reaching out for you

scent of fall lingers, filling the room

sunlight, captures my field of view

loves rapid beat, resides in my heart

caught in quiet splendor,  I fall apart
