Bound by unseen circumstance, and tied intricately to chance
Four white walls close in, becoming my private prison cell
Nothing is written in stone, yet the alone cuts to the bone
I have now found the difference between heaven, and hell
Heaven is where the heart resides, and hell is the heart that hides

Bound by you always on my mind, and tied to a past I left behind
A room in the national forest becomes my favorite playground
Hopes of tomorrow forever rise, and fall as time slows to a crawl
I have now found the difference between lost, and found
Lost is having to live without you, and found is being with you

Bound by frustration unjust, and tied to unadorned lust
Eyes fixated with the picture that looks within my soul
Images of life’s incredible delight flash clear, and bright
I have now found the difference between prison, and parole
Prison is distance times two, and parole is to my heart staying true

Bound by an impending death, and tied willingly to love’s breath
Mind consumed with fantasies, and dreams of a distant night
At times the loneliness seems to die, and without you so would I
I have now found the difference between darkness, and light
Darkness was before connection, and light is having your affection

Bound by a calendar that doesn’t advance, and tied to circumstance
I have now found the difference between destined fate, and chance

thank you

ty miror

hmmm I might have had someone in mind let me think about it thanks beautiful

Have you ever watched a mountain stream
as it dances down the hill?
Laughing and dancing like a dream
its joy in the falling thrill.

It plays among the trees and grass
laughing and singing in its glee.
Sounding like a happy lass
reveling now that she is free.

It runs and rushes over the cliff face
and leaps into the air.
Falling in a passionate grace
like a lover's thrown back hair.

Fallen down once again to earth
it gleefully takes hold.
Its joyful leap has given birth
to a pool with waters, crisp and cold.

And from the pool she'll dance away
on her run to be free.
Until on some special day
she will join her lover in the sea.

Have you ever watched a mountain stream
as it dances down the hill?
Will we, like her, run for a dream
or will we sit here waiting still?

ACK!!!

sweet!

Lovely light brown locks
Tickle my nose
And tiny little socks
Keep warm perfect toes
In my dreams

Cute little fingers
Grasp my rough hand
And sweet youth lingers
Without remand
In my dreams

Bright clear green eyes
Shine so very bright
That never told lies
Sprinkling pure delight
In my dreams

I hear your laughter
Echo through me
Singing of the life after
Death that had to be
In my dreams

Gleefully building castles
Out of snow-white sand
As violet dancing tassels
Hang above your small hand
In my dreams

Together painting pictures
Of all the things we see
Done without a hint of stricture
As you lovingly smile at me
In my dreams

Wandering picking pretty flowers
In the nearby tree filled woods
Pretending to climb make believe towers
As we eat assorted delicious foods
In my dreams

Once again you live here with me
Hand in hand, heart to heart
24 years since the last time I did see
You, prior to death ripping us apart
In my dreams…
























You are all grown up

thank you angel

animal

long loopy strides through the purr
of your beat against mine
like a wizard’s whirl of his staff
where silence echoes contently
with in-sync sighs that stretch
and etch enchantment
across our gilded gutter
envied by the Gods that banished
us to the heaven of forgiving arms
nuzzled by dandelion dreams

thank you ((angel)

I guess forever is relative to the company invited thank you

They need a "bats eyes" emoticon

Although I am too crippled to feel
I am enamored, enchanted
By your soft smooth design
Craving your unaltered skin
Upon my weathered face
The intoxication of your breath
Calling me like a sweet scent
In the breeze of nothingness
I am everyone and no one
A kiss on the lips of another
A darkness waiting to unfurl
Into the sin of your tantalizing flesh
Taste me… chase me… need me
Tease me into desire’s oblivion
So that the tears of remembrance
That hang within my forgotten soul
Sink me into a drowning abyss
And darken my tainted vision forever

LA... you see without your eyes, a quality I admire

Ensnared by a lover’s pleaded call
Spared the agony of a precarious fall
Ensnared by sensual whispers of a soul ,
Spared the torment of never being whole.

Ensnared by the other side of my life’s coin
Spared the pain of missing two hearts ultimate join
Ensnared by the poetic touch of love’s sweet kiss
Spared the longing loneliness of the serpent’s hiss

Ensnared within the confines of your splendid wreath
Spared the injustice of having to wear a protective sheath
Ensnared on the note of a passionate soul’s song
Spared the indignity of never finding where I belong

Ensnared by the ruby red lips of sung perfection
Spared the torture of a heart’s poisonous rejection
Ensnared within the smile that conjures adoration
Spared the impurities caused by a soul’s deification

Ensnared by the spirit that shines brighter then a 1000 suns
Spared a life never knowing my predestined ONE
Ensnared in the inspiring web of my greatest find
Spared the consuming madness of a lonely mind

Ensnared by your loving, yearning heart
Spared by the grace you lovingly impart
Ensnared by the breath you have shared
Spared by the pure soul you have bared

Ensnared by the capture of your romantic rapture
Spared the agony of never being your forever capture
Ensnared by the infinity of your exploding rapture
Spared forevermore by a quenched heart you have captured

standing on the precipice of goodbye
the infinite blackhole of no tomorrow
where one cycle ends and another begins
the houglass of no more bears my sighs
witthin the barren chasm of death's sorrow
as the angels reaady to play their violins
in honor of the life of grace you did walk
leaving footprints in earth's muddied chalk
I wait in the clumsy minutes for my I love you
and a different mother/son relationship starts anew

In the last year I have lost both parents and though we all know oneday we will be parentless when that day comes and thereafter it feels so surreal. I got the call my mother died in the middle of writing this somehow I just knew. s1ow stole my comment beautiful and poignant indeed!

is better then pepsi I agree

nurse, I would say because he wasn't anywhere near the brightest of guys but hey that's just my opinion

Thou come forth from evening shade
to touch my hand stretched to the sun's shine,
and you, shimmer in the night light
of a million dragon scales, and I,
I gaze to read where a rapturous rainbow
moulds you into the stars sequitur!

The last love whence pools camst upon gold,
I carve no time to hold a rock from high;
so sing seraph, -- poet, -- sing on your heart be more
and I, I float in the greater grandeur born of thee tree;
Let the children weep when our reverie cometh on
as they heap upon a beautiful land, their art, our memories,
this cradle of us that seeps in the spotted blooms,
and blossom bright that air in the malt, the ebb
that turns us white ether amongst a Pleiades night.
