Queen Mab's Dream

queen of the seelie
gatherer of dreams
and souls

Storm's End

at storms end
seashell patterns
edge the shore

footprints of life
ebb and flow
receding at sunset

tomorrow a chill blows
cold and dead
yet men dream

The Dreamer

dreaming all the while
time goes by
we never noticed

summer's breeze
floats softly
across your skin

sweet brown eyes
fill my dreams
till autumn cast it's pall

and darkness reins
once again
as leaves fall on your garden

Evening

                                        


evening comes softly
hues of violet green
fill my soul

When I Was Young

once I was young
walking in my sister's shadow
hidden in words and meaning
the sweetness of life a dream
were is the end?

waiting, always waiting
will he come to me?
today, tomorrow
all the same
all for naught

"I Dreamed A Dream"

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed 

 

 

and still I wait

Here lies the love of my life.  John Edward Bishop

Rockville Cemetery


Until we meet again my love.

Time Hides Us

time moves slowly now
across a rising morning sky
darken woods absorb

the red door hides us
from all fear that we carry
deep within our hearts



am not afraid of storms
for I am learning to sail my ship

*Louisa May Alcott

Cherry Blossom

first blossom in spring
beauty beyond all seasons
lasts but a few days

Stormy Seas

beneath stormy seas
children of the deep cry out
wailing in sorrow

maids awaiting love
toss and tumble in the rough
where have they all gone

men who sail the tides
watch and long for them
 magical maidens

Night Sky

ocean waves greet moon
on this a perfect night sky
each specking whispers

each sun set woven
in the glistening moon dust
echoed in the sea

Hallowed Path

falls perfection seen
in hallowed tree lined walkway
leaves fall softly here

multicolored path
leads deep into the fall woods
elves dancing beneath

First Frost

with autumn's first frost
the chill of death roams freely
melancholy's child

renewal waits ahead
a rebirth and harvesting
change comes to them all

in life as in death
age and time will call us forth
we are once more one

Flower Of Love

sweet flower of love
it's  nectar pure and lovely
draws the butterfly

As The Night Deepens

as the night deepens
darkness full of your sweet love
memories come back

you walk in the mist
whispering those words of love
holding me so close

my heart cries for you
across the many long years
we shared each other

as the night deepens
you fade away from my side
leaving me alone

Moonlight Blossoms

moonlight blossoms glow
silently in the nights tides
gardens sweetly shine

each bud sings forth tales
of lovers in the moonlight
bound forever more

We Had A Love

as I read your words
softly by the light of day
my heart leaps with joy

we had a great gift
and lived our lives for a time
our souls matching souls

now I set you free
hoping someday to meet again
our bodies as one

Morning Mists

morning mists rising from snow
nights troubled dreams melt away

Love A Hope For All

in the end what's left
can love overcome all life
is the pain worth it


can love take death's place
and once more fill the cold void
we can but hope so


love and hope are one
my broken heart longs for this
once more to feel you

once more to see you
my eyes without these cold tears
my hand held in yours

Haven's Space

I wonder if here
lies the doorway to heaven
where I will find you

waiting for me as ever
our souls one again
is this our heaven

will the lord be there
and angles singing so sweet
I long to be there

in your arms once more
and your kisses wipe my tears
walking together
