Verse 2

 
 
That there are images in this evening
That are worth etching into the mind,
Indelible,
Depends upon your smile,
And your voice of welcome.
The swirling colors of the horizon,
Pink and orange and violet haze,
And golden rays of yellow,
They either laugh and rejoice with me,
Or jeer in persecution,
And the cooling breeze that ruffle the grass
Either sway in unison to [...]

you know who you are

i miss you

simply and with no frills,
i miss your smile, your laughter, and your twinkling eyes,
i miss your voice that reminds me of rillsong and brooks, of spring water sweet and cold and refreshing.
i miss your presence, the poise and grace that tell the world loudly,
in silence,
that here is royalty, here is the testimony that [...]

guerdon’s rest

ah, so you have found this place.
welcome.
take a seat, don’t be shy.
sorry if all i can offer are boulders and gravel.
but the view here is magnificent.
it was a long climb to get here, you must be tired.
my own feet are still chapped and bleeding,
but it was worth it.
i don’t mind the company,
such a view as [...]

if i compose

if i compose myself into a song,
would you sing me?
would you take me for your lullaby,
and for the song of your joy,
the song of your heart?
if i compose myself into a poem,
would you recite me?
would you make me your ballad
and the ode of your soul,
the epic of your life?
if i compose myself into a tear,
would [...]

if i must say goodnight

i breathed upon your sleeping face,
coming through your windows
to stir you awake at the violet of dawn,
i could not help being around you,
as you go around your morning tasks,
i enjoy playing with your hair,
tossing it so you would notice,
until in consternation you tie
a bonnet and a sash around your head;
you take a break and a [...]

i do not know you

i do not know you.
the rain could always hide you,
and the mists keep you blanketed away.
once i saw you through the skeins
of silk that wrap you,
that night when you looked at the stars
and mirrorred their beauty,
and their cold, cold distance
like a longing to break free.
you saw me staring and dove
right back into your pool,
your own [...]

eternal

your smile settled upon my soul
like a snowflake
awakening my heart;
i have seen your eyes before,
i know i have,
somewhere in dreams before my birth,
someplace happier,
else you would not have tugged
so especially
with but one glance.
you stared at me in a split second
so intent, it could have lasted years;
perhaps you see it too,
maybe you felt pulled the same [...]

i do not know how better to open this message for you. i have always gifted you with enigmatic silence or a jester’s banter, never revealing my true purposes. yet nothing should remain hidden between friends that should be told, so i shall now take the path of plainness, so you shall wonder no more.

tulips

you have always been a puzzle to me;
how few realize that talking to you,
walking with you,
is basking in greatness.
i do not know if your silience
is a deliberate wall
to shut the world away,
and yet your dreams betray
how your eyes miss nothing
of the wonders of creation;
you are beauty,
core to skin,
and more–
you are a pillar
that no samson tempest [...]
