I tend to think of these as the ones where I was able
to scratch the surface and go no further...it was more
about being unable to articulate than anything else...
that's why some have no title...Enjoy!
The rewards of happiness
Far and few between,
Are far more precious
Than the riches of a king and a queen: Q.E.D.

|
In the silence of the night
The darkness of blinded sight
Distant diamonds appear
Everyone's angels to share
The sparkle of a star
Inspires the will to reach far
The courage to give
And the strength to live
|
Trapped in a torrential downpour of chaos
The clamour of selfish voices
All screaming out to be heard
Fiery cold and piercing eyes
Claw incessantly for individual attention
Choking the essences out of the dynamic of life
Rumbling with a fury born not of distant thunder
But the rage of an engulfing storm
Cold and immovable
Scorching and fickle
Condemned in this marriage of fire and ice
Diminutive concerns bring welcomed comfort
For even in chaos there is primordial order
|
|
This lonely heart drifts from place to place
Once adorned by pretty frills and lace
A quiet memory of days gone by
When this heart was the centre of every eye
When all faces glowed to see its beauty
For whom serving was their humble duty
As another solitary day drags on
This heart concedes its inspiration is gone
|
"Elusive"
The mind remains confused,
In vain fragments are fused
No thought links to another,
No memory finds its brother
Each word remains single,
Never opting to mingle
And so no phrases will form,
No surge of a fiery brain storm
What I seek is not to be found,
Neither its size nor shape nor sound
|

"The Bottle"
In a bottle fashioned of nothing
Were crowded all the emotions life could bring
The sum of love and rage
The total experienced by this age
The rainbow that brought smiles
Wings that lifted during trials
The gamut that caused tears
Mysteries that fueled fears
All in a bottle fashioned of nothing
Cast into an abyss never to sing
|
"Something Meant"
Friendship never ages
No it never gets old
A book to which you keep adding pages
As a life long story unfolds
Your friends will stick beside you
Like the jewels of the dark
Their love for you is always true
It's an Olympian flame not a spark
When cheerful times are rained upon
By pain, sadness and sorrow
Friends will never say, "So long"
When you need a shoulder to borrow
Your meaning is scripted in destiny
With the eternal ink of time
Friends keep you moving on happily
For they need neither reason nor rhyme
With this love that's shared
And fond memories of times long past
For you there is no challenge to be feared
And, of course, no mountain of an obstacle that can last

"Beauty"
A memory...; a relic of forgotten time...
Of finding true beauty that flared from within
Of splendor that blinded like the rays of a desert sun
Of enchantment with the intensity and power of an electric storm
Of elegance as delicate as silken threads
Like venom it invaded at first sight
Paralyzing time as it drank from the heart
Drowned in a trance of oceanic proportions
Release brought only the heavy burden of absolute emptiness
This memory... it taunts; a whisper from the realm
From the catacombs of hidden truth
Deep in the heart's inner sanctum
The truth of this beauty once found... now utterly gone
Banished irretrievably in the darkness of an abysmal cavern
