Wild flame

Passion awakening desire,
a spark of soul and fire.
In the darkness of this day,
brings the night a luminous ray.
Hope and kindness,
making hate and hurt wane away.
With dusty pearls unearthed dreams,
walking places yet unseen .
A waking child,
seemingly mild.
A torrent of wrath,
steady to the path.
A light of iridescent streams,
cool liquid cinnamon watered beams.
A flame waking in this time,
to light this world and ever shine.

Missing you

Do you ever wonder why,
spread out your arms and just want to fly.
Hold something real close,
when you lose something you love most.
Reach towards the skies,
and find it just to high.
Close your eyes and feel the memory has leaked,
so warm and gentle upon your cheek.
You whisper their name into the night,
but nothing replies no matter how hard you try
So you sleep and lay their in a dream,
the morning sun greets you with its first beam
Memories have slowly drifted,
your heart once again has been lifted.
One more day you live and wish,
another night to come and miss.

Autumn leaves

I see them fall upon the ground
the wind picks them up dances them around
They float so gentle upon the lake
the journey of the unknown they will make
The season has tinted them in this color
showing us the beauty of the world and its valor
I stand there and close my eyes
turning my face up towards the skies
Feeling the gentle warm kiss of the sun
knowing this is Autumn that has come
I embrace this season with my heart
knowing it to be one of gods gifts and art
My mouth curves into a gentle smile
watching leaves fall in there graceful style
I whisper into the gentle breeze
dance with me as you fall from the trees
I twirl around till I fall on the grassy ground
sitting there and watching the leaves dance around
My gentle laugh meets the air
as they dance and fall upon my hair
I free them from my hair with care
blowing them back into the air
One blows back into my hand
I take it with me as I stand
Now its time for me to depart
taking this gift with me into my heart.

My princess

I remember the day you were born to me
I showed you off for all to see
You were so warm and small in my arms
I promised you would never come to harm
I remember the night I was shocked in fright
when I was told you would not live through the night
I looked into your small frightened eyes
I refused to believe you would die
Fight my sweet princess we will win
oh god above don’t do this thing
I held you close to me that night
With help of god above we will fight
The night seem to not want to end
I was so scared this I do not pretend
The first ray of sun came into sight
I knew for now all would be right
Many months we fought this war
I never gave up hope that’s for sure
Many years have passed since that day
im so happy you fought to stay
Watching you grow has been a delight
Your beauty and strength a wonderful sight
I love you my princess Rachael dear
a big part of you I will always keep near.

Thoughts

Love we seldom seem to seek
words of hatred we thoughtlessly speak
Hearts are torn between life’s trials
memories hold for a long long  while
Don’t regret what tomorrow brings
embrace it like a warm day in spring
Tears of joy are seldom shed
memories of pain we keep instead
I tell you all one more thing
its how you live to what life will bring
