If My Heart Only Had Wings


Echoes of her name whispering all I'm feeling
wishes swirl in winds capturing time in my heartbeat
Spoken in soft sighs
her voice always calls me home,
If only my heart had wings
I could have found the heart~prints she left for me,
Before the dark side of the moon
tangled the shadows of our love.


An auburn sunrise awakens a morning stir
before realizing last nights moonlit kisses
were just a dream lost in the fade of moist teardrops,
If only my heart had wings
I would have lassoed a wild love
dew~drenched in the sweetest of blossoms
opening beautiful petals
bathed in the glory of golden sun rays.


Now I live with a burning in my eyes
as too many secrets were revealed
in a lost weekend
where wishes found me tasting my own rain,
Salty from a sea of sorrow
buried in the sinking of my ship of fools,
Where it lays broken
at the bottom all alone.


If only my heart had wings

I could have saved our cherished heaven
we shared in the promise of our vows,
But alas I have no wings
and you have faded from everything,
Except for my heart,
Where you will always belong.

My Poetry

Buried In The Grace Of Your Beautiful Hush


Wish me Home
in the plush drape of Angel wings
curled in corners of Christmas past
where the delicate shine of a soft swell
finds me mesmerized in the mercy of your beg
opening glorious before my eyes
pouring the beautiful spill of all I savor
into a glow of Heaven
where divine dreams fall dusted in sighs
beneath explosions of love's silence
as you lace me in a hush of vanilla whispers
burying me breathless in your pearls


I lay stolen
guided by the promise of cashmere hymns
cradled in the destiny of sacred rapture
worshiping the beauty of our thunderous symphony
God how I love to splash in the velvet wrap of your ocean
showering in the urge of your lips
dancing in the rain
riding golden waves
swirling inside the fire
as our melody breathes in the rage of the coming tide
forever carved in echo's of surrender


Melted
fulfilled within the realms of all that is cherished
The ache vanquished from the flesh of two heartbeats
pounding in the quiet aftermath of tangled limbs
and sweltering flickers of liquid burn
Drowning
in the gentle slopes of curves and kisses
as the night fades into your eyes
and I find paradise in the only place I belong
Nestled in the grace of your arms


Written For My Pop

Behind His Shadow


I remember the mental shoves,
intentions natural for a father
wanting his son to be more
than he ever was.
He toured with the pro-am all over the state
carried a 198 in three leagues,
bowling for dollars every Saturday night,
extra pay for Sunday cruises to A&W
and root beer floats for the whole family.
He loved the Dodgers even when we were in a Cardinal state,
if Koufax or Drysdale hooked it up against Gibson
we didn't miss a moment,
by tv or radio
with old friends popcorn and RC cola,
we never missed a pitch.

I remember learning to play poker at seven,
a basement full of smoke and Seagrams
and a grandmother turning red
because a kid raked in her pennies.
From California to KC to Texas
back and forth in a path of tire tracks
I followed faithfully,
born to run behind, always trying to catch up.

I never did make it to the pro's
though I made a few bucks along the way,
bowling for dollars myself.
I never became a Dodger
though I tried out for the Pirates when I was 17,
but the Seventies had already swallowed the dreams
of a father
for a son who never saw disappointment in his eyes,
maybe that was because he knew we were a lot a like.

"But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man"

I remember a time when I thought life wasn't worth living
in the middle of the night he felt me leaving
and I had an Angel as he helped save me,
I wish I could have done the same for him.

Lord?
I hope he's still not disappointed.




...words in parenthesis by Bob Seger "Ramblin Gamblin Man"

Between The Rain

Winter sprinkles its falling dust once more
Past the red and gray
behind blue eyes
that struggle in the blind
where tears freefall from cheek to shoulder
As I hold her
standing in my own rain
Pouring silently so I don't choke
all those around me
while I break in my own ache
which is nothing compared to her pain
Yet she still tells me to Believe

Prayers-Hopes-Wishes
All crumbling as you kneel before the rock
the one that is solid in strength
as you try holding on
Praying
Hoping
Wishing
Having Faith that this Truth
about a beautiful Daughter who was there
for everything, for everyone
in the beginning, in the end
To bring the light of love to her parents life
to hold their hands as the Angels brought them Home
About a beautiful Mother who is the magnificent mountain
between the green valleys
The great divide
that brings us all home into the comfort of her arms
Where warmth of a Mothers Love
is a cure for everything
From a broken heart
to a scrape on the knee
no divisions, no differences
not to Her, not to our Mother

In these days where Winter still hangs
I know the end has only begun once again
And no amount of
Prayers
Hopes
Wishes
can do anything about it
Yet when I look into her eyes
past the pain
I feel the Faith of my beautiful Mother
lighting the tunnel from her heart
touching me with a sacred glow
letting me know
in these times of change
God needs a special Angel
and he is calling my Mother Home
I just don't want her to suffer too much
before she is ready to let go

So when you feel it's time
Fly Mom Fly
and always remember
We Love You

Your Proud Children
Brian, Lee Annette, and Roy

In The Pour Of Tomorrow's Scriptures


Daybreak

Orange bursts beneath blue rises
covering the black satin of a midnight past
where the sun slowly drifts
as the moon fades with a sigh between each star


Morning Scriptures

Awakening with the taste of honey
brushed new upon warm whispers
Spooning with reminders
of last nights beg of forever's
deep in the middle of surrendering
The rest of our lives


Daydreaming


If I had words I would use them
somehow they get lost in translation
Pages turn and chapters fly
the world spins
people are everywhere
and then there is You and I
The music plays
the quiet lays still
and I find the syllables
to paint myself out of this dream
Into the real
the beauty of how I feel
"I Love You"


Evening Spills

Backporch curled around in a southern glow
as the swing sways to the cradle of our wrap
Blankets covering fingertips dancing in delight
candles inside burning to the rhythm of two souls
melting breathlessly as one


Midnight Pours

A writer writes the lyrics
A poet sings the melody
A man's heart smiles
in the breath of a beautiful hush
as he has it all
And I have Everything
I have You
And We have
all the Moon's and Sun's of every Tomorrow

pblossom.jpg Lavender Blossoms picture by passionaterider

Even Rainbows Cry


Outside my window
lavender blossoms sway inside the tears
of August heat
Come early this end of June.
I know not why
I surrender to human frailty so easily these days
life and death
joy and sadness
compassion and anger
All dots connecting
trying to soak a beard flushed from a river
that won't stop flowing.
Does it make me a coward
am I weak
or could it mean I'm a child of the 50's
not grown up in the 21st century?


Is there a God that can tell me why I breakdown
over thoughts that won't go away
Over nightmares that I can't quite remember
but still fear will come find me and take me away
Over the simplest scenes that touch my heart
while sitting there watching the small screen?
No, there are no answers somewhere over the rainbow
even the man in the mirror could be your worst enemy
if he speaks the truth and it's more than you can handle.

The cost of a rope or a bullet
is far cheaper than feeding a family
And that's a Damn Shame!


I hope I will always have tears
always be touched
always be loved
For without such Grace
life would be tarnished beyond Hope
And with no one to blame but myself
we all know how that could end

My how beautiful the lavender blossoms are.

Sacred rain falls free
spilling whispers
beneath the glaze of moonlit surrender
Capturing magic with eyes
in-sync
uncovering eternal promises splashing
tongue-tied wishes
between the melt of lingering forever
in the heart of our drown.
Depths crumble with want
hungry kisses
fueled by the burn of pillowed descent
embracing celestial fever
exposed
in the blush of your nectar.
I belong to our flame
worshiping the wrap of love's warmth
Take me in the wings of your beg
as I release the thunder of my heartscape
Pouring all that I breathe
into your beautiful crave


I am veiled in the gossamer garment
of your emerald gaze,
submerged in transcendent reflections
of your breath cast upon the windowpanes
of a delicate heart, lost in the euphoria
of the salvation etched in the exhales
of your essence, scribing the unwritten silence in
pearled benedictions, beyond an invisible ink
that bleeds into scriptures of translated confessions,
as every hushed trace of my fingertips
unravels the layers of your heart,
and unleashes the voice within the realms
dangling between pouted lips
tasting home that has been awaiting
beyond the pink altar
of holy-water stained kisses,
beckoning this soul to awaken
from the shadows of tear-drowned candlewicks,
into the elegant amber flicker
of your immaculate midnight blaze,
as I curl into the corners of your timeless smile,
intoxicated in heart-orchestrated serenades
of jasmine-fragranced dreams
illuminated in the memorized silhouette
of your love cascading upon me,
soft as the lullaby of stardust
falling upon the revelation
of answered prayers,
an unwavering balm transforming these
broken fragments of me,
into the whole of us


Crossing thresholds
swimming
in a harvest of butterfly strokes,
branded by the plunge of ocean swells
coiled in curved ache,
I starve for velvet swallows
bathed in the cloak of cradled sighs
saturated by the gentle slide of your harbor
as we devour the thirst of tangled sway.
Lay bare the pleasure of our appetite
take me to shelter
hold me there
in the arms of all we feel
buried inside a stir of murmurs
echoing in symphonic verse,
yearning to bookmark the pages
of every unwritten poem,
Braille-quilled from the colors of your heart,
into soul seasoned passages
of love-saturated orchids,
arched in the frail winds
of a suede-parchment destiny,
brushed in the art of dream-drop secrets,
falling like cashmere upon blossoms
of an azure-trembled longing,
savoring the beauty of
this love's fragile truth,
finger-painted in ivory memoirs,
nestled, so softly, in the syllables
of your soul-kissed passion
penned upon the canvas of my body
in sanguine-composed sonnets of fate
that redefine the religion
of eternity
