January


  Juxtapose hearts
Answers rhythm
 Nocturnal spirits
Unearth desires
    Analytical visions
   Release emotions
   Yearning to fulfill

Altruistic Vibrations




Music down low
Candles lit across the room
In the corner a fire burns casting a glow
Shadows dance along the barren walls
Bed covered in rose petals
Sweet scent tantalizing a starved soul
Champagne and two flutes wait silently
Chocolate covered strawberries for the palate
Outside the wind howls
Soon to intermingle with the soft moans to come
Snow drifts softly against the windowpane
Dreamily the scene is set
In anticipation of altruistic vibrations


In Limbo

There is no simple yes or maybe
Black or white slight shades of grey
The defining line between today and tomorrow
Reality unravels
Hope becomes a figment of the imagination
Ambiguity lingers in the air
Out of your grasp slips fragile possibilities
From eyes tears rally to fight a battle lost
In the end decisions still remain unclear
Leaving you suspended in limbo

The Unknown


I can’t discipline the forces that
Lurk seeking to devour happiness
To stop my soul from soaring
My mind to create
My spirit from breathing
My heart from loving
If granted all that would be
Left is an empty shell
Of what use to be

December


Dearest to my heart
Everlasting love
Caresses in the night
Embers inflamed to passion
Merry souls dance
Breathing in and out
Expressions of giving
Remains forever this
    December night

Wrong Turn

Turn left no take a right
Directions on sign
Obscured to vision
Is this my test?
Left lane or right
Fork in the road make a U-turn
What’s next?
Damn navigation system is speaking
In a language that doesn’t exist
Pull out the road map
Now I’m even more confused
Dead end a head keep on driving
Put on the breaks
This will not be my fate
To end on a wrong turn
