April 2011
Our love is magical
Like lily’s of the field On a green forest floor
Our love is whimsical
Like red kites flying In an azure summer sky
Our love is lyrical
Like bluebirds singing On a bright spring day

The castle like a fairy-tale
Emerged from the misty fog
It called to us in silent splendor
To listen to its tales of love
We held hands and made a vow
To live in that wondrous chateau

The mist hung low in the valley
Silent as the color of white
Refreshing each meadow and tree
Till retreating at the behest of the light
Words rush from my pen
Like Thunderstorm rain on a dark summers night
Leading my spirit, as a dawn to the light
Giving voice to clarity, the pen can describe
Budding spring flowers as delicate petals of truth
Or a cats simple smile as a gleaming eye tooth
A two-way mirror
Words and meaning
Reflecting the symmetry
Between soul and poetry
They danced beneath a shooting star
They danced to the moon above
They danced to serenade the trees
They danced to wake the morning dove
They danced to feel the spark of life
They danced to the music of love
When her thoughts turned to tears
She’d listen to the blues on vinyl
The imperfections, the crackles and the hiss
The exquisite music , the sorrow and the joy
Sublime together, yet, juxtaposed
Painting a portrait of her lonely heart
He sat beneath the oak tree
Where they once had made love
He sat beneath the sunset
Where they once had made dreams
He sat beneath the moon-less sky
And could not think of the reason why
The keys to her kingdom
Unlock her dreams
Of valiant knights of yore
Castles and pinnacles that soar
The keys to her dreams
Unlock her passion
Her heart inflamed with desire
Smoldering embers of fire
The keys to her passion
Unlock her love
The glorious embrace of spring
That two hearts melded will bring
At the end of the path
At the end of the tunnel
At the end of the darkness
There is a light to guide me
At the end of pain
At the end of loss
At the end of despair
Your love is that beacon of light
We met
Under the lanterned trees
Your eyes like risen moons
We sat
On a wooden bench
Your smile like reflected suns
We kissed
Under the starry sky
Your lips like butterfly wings
The melody had turned to tragedy
The fire in her heart unquenched
She played the lyrics of her life
Burning hot and crisp with pain
Build with me a sand castle
To hold our dreams of love
She went to Paris for the summer
She stayed until the fall
She fell in love on a foggy day
She wonders when he will call
