Three Headed Tune

Ancient melody, new verse
Laughter painted, no rehearse
Undeniable truths, candid touch
Open window, granted much
Closeness indeed, patient and true
Hearts blended, passion is drew
Beautiful again, yesterday and more
Today and tomorrow, Endless score
Keeping chalk, No tallies written
Equal ground,  Burning and smitten

Caves glow, people stare
Eyes that meet, Lovers air
Unending words, Seamless seams
Forgotten embers, Renewed dreams
Afraid yet certain, Cautious yet bold
No other feeling, Hands that hold
Story unmatched, An Epic Tale
Two hearts blinded, Set assail
Worried not, Afflictions aside
Promises kept, Honor and abide


Oceans deepen, Time binds
Hearts flutter, The story winds
Much tenderness, Empty pride
Both want, What the other hides
Onward further, A stainless mile
The sky opens, A rainbow smile
Mystery indeed, The next chapter
Tales are bold, His heart did captor
Spoken simply, He loved her so
Into the future, The winds did blow

Conversations

New roads to replace old ones
How it came this far he does not know
A testament to his grit and fortitude
When all he had ever seen was rain
Many miles and still a whole world left to see
Waking up as ageless as the day before
His dreamer's stare peered right through me
He smiled and looked the other way
Oceans rose to meet him at the knees
And the endless one ran as if he were child
Nothing gained save for a new beginning
In this aging world, his spirit was young at heart
I asked him what his secret was before he strode away
He spoke of faith and love and dreams and salty horizons
He spoke of everything in riddles, though I kept up with him
I asked him where he was headed to, He simply turned and smiled
He said he was chasing echoes and eventualities
And with an about face, he turned around and was gone

Tapdancing in the Field

Temporary tangibility
Truer nature of all things
Open doors seldom fixed
Whereabouts unknown
Traveling on captivation
Serving self sorted goals
Finding purpose anew
Where rubble remains
Forging bright fires
When all else is due
Shirking responsibility
Fading into hope
Remorseless Wanderer
Touching time and space
Catching forever
On a cloud made of sand
Today is endless
Tomorrow will not endure
Now is paramount
When later holds no truth
Promises meant to be
When nothing else exists
Shining resemblance
Of happy and secure
Knowing the emotion
Yet scared to feel
Speaking it loudly
Whispering it inside
Letting her win
When she's always lost
Unexplainable adventure
Another ending verse

Burning Plane

There exist lesser worlds than this
I should know, I used to go there
Back when I owned everything
Yet held firmly to nothing at all
In another time, In another place
I challenged all that was real
Fighting wars with my self
And all that existed in my head
The roads that traverse to there
They seldom shine their light
Rather a wrong turn or two
Will find you in their void
Sunlit porches
Lazy afternoons
All thus mirroring reality
Yet incomplete somehow
Finding oneself is elusive
When rigidness is surreal
The end comes quickly there
Opening doors that go unseen
Stretch the imagination now
Easier to not be lost at all
Than to empty out your soul
Honest examinations
Keep reality lucid
When all else is brittle
Should you find yourself at home
Allow yourself to stay
Fading into the abyss
Is  Hell on Earth you see
Disconnected, Disconcerted
Unaware of anything inside
There are indeed lesser planes
In which to lose your way,
Ask me how I made it back,
How the fake trees melted
And I saw myself again
What  a story of wonder
Of non imaginary things
Summer evening on the porch
Lemonade in hand, Wondering
How fireflies became free

Strides

Wishing not to close my eyes
If only to dream wide awake
In a picture of perfect color
The ocean rests at my feet
I kicked at the salty dew
To feel its sandy remembrance
Of simpler things, of everything
Opening a bright new day
Listening to my joyous soul
Wrapping quietly at the door
Redemption tenfold in space
I found an abundance of wealth
The currency that does not spend
But feeds the heart with joy
Peace amongst all the chaos
Blowing against the wind
Building new roads to where they lead
Jacketed emotion, No longer ill
Bearing solid ground and sanity
Safe within my own shadow
For the moment, the only one that's given
Falling abruptly, Pondering upon everything
Everything is endless, Everything is now
