Moonlight my Mozart
12/26/2024
There are times when we are apart
There are times when we enjoy that time
But much like the moonlight
It is always better when we share it’s grace
Mozart wrote his music the same
Platinum ring halo above us
No matter where we lay our heads
Our hearts will always be illuminated
As a hearth laid long to burn
Our souls will remain hot
No matter what weathers us
Enough to find each other again
In the next life
Stroll through Greenwood
12/19/2022
We knew they were watching
As we ambled down winding pathways
And under fated wispers and snickers
They witnessed our first meeting
How they must wonder what happened
Outside of those gated, blessed walls
We will have to go back, if just
To quell the underground rumors
Who had bet against the fox staying
With the ragged, old wolf?
As we continue on our journey together
Let’s see what more lays in waiting
Shining
10/16/2022
You are a star among many
But you are my star, my sun
Your warmth I receive
Your light I reflect
Without you, I am but a rock
Your light makes me shine
So let’s light up lives together
Because what is a sky without stars?
Puzzles
10/09/2022
Puzzle pieces are unique
To fit together, they must
Have the same deformities
And align
The sun and the moon must shine
Shoreline meets boardwalk
It makes sense
Perhaps we were from another story
Marc Antony and Cleopatra
The pieces fit together
Oasis
10/05/2022
I’ve been traveling in the desert
For so long now
Existing on nomad Bedouin hospitality
Maslovian needs met under duress
And then I saw you
My eyes may deceive me
My senses are piqued
It has been so long to find this respite
Shade and cold drink
Let us hope
That this is not a mirage
That good thing
12/25/2017
I have a good thing going
You leave me wanting
More
Of you
And when you leave
It makes me understand
Just how good I’ve got it
Flashlight
11/26/2017
Wading through the wallow
I found a beautiful way
She didn’t know it
Through stys and puddles
I found my way
So I know
You shine the light
Balance
11/25/2017
I am a simpleton
This I know
You are above my class
This too, I know
But, in this state
I have the advantage
Being that
You love me too+
Be close to me
11/25/2017
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But when your breath is on my neck
I have you wrapped closely
My heart does not wont
Do not linger, nor tarry
Unless by my side
Be hasty in your return
For my heart longs for you
Please come back to me
Your joy is infectious
Missing you is like the blankets torn away on a cold morning
I want you in your nook
My oasis
11/10/2017
There are things that I cannot change
The broken shards of life that sting
Like nettles around my heart
Infecting my attitude
Reflected in my prickly disposition
You are my desert flower
Bountiful beacon of beauty
In less-than-friendly environs
The sweet pear fruit of the cactus
I find my sustenance in your eyes
You water my soul and revitalize it
From a natural spring of goodness
My splinters glom over in your dew
I hope to wear an amber coat
To shield from future fractition
verba volant scripta manent
