Railway Tracks Of Life

railway tracks of life
moving far away from me
towards the tree of life

does the answer lie
beneath it's many branches
deep in shadows lost

life a mystery that
we search forever for
answers to it all

Quince Tree Branches

I remember well
the old quince tree in our yard
that bore fruit each fall

branches twisting round
the ivy that climbed within
to reach it's pink crown

noble quince ageless
a nesting place for fair birds
that woke us each morn

how I'd love to hear
it's whispers in the dark night
of time long gone by

Endless

her face speaks of time
years gone by both good and bad
some of sorrows lost

come and gone alike
endless wearing and tearing
tears dried as they fall

and now nothing gained
how many more breaths must she take
till death her lover

Woman In The Mask

behind the blue mask
eyes so deep and darkest black
skin white as new milk

be she of woodland Fae
whose beauty is known by all
queen of the faeries

seldom seen by men
in till the trap set too late
she coverts their hearts

listen hear her sing
weaving a spell to bind them
evermore her slaves.

Life's Energy

life's energy forms
enveloping our spirit
our minds must clear it

Winter Shadows

last night I saw you
once more walking hand in hand
mere winter shadows

we crossed barren sand
you holding my hand so tight
praying dawn comes not

light takes you away
my eyes weep still in a dream
your touch lingers still

Alone, I Wait

love abandoned me
my heart torn rented apart
leaving my cold soul

pain and sorrow mine
will fill what life I have left
till you come for me
