Poetry

Long Summer days without you claw at my heart
I miss your company like I've lost an arm
Life without you is not worth the breath
Your value is beyond rubies - to borrow a phrase
Sweet memory of your words throughout my world
Ongoing sorrow and tender reminiscence
Now beauty, now pain
Gold is in her name.

Calling to a Moonlit Maiden

Storms and Rainbows and I was there
to love you in your rage and darkness
Now my empty days crawl by
waiting for your liberation

Storms and Rainbows and I wish we were there
that I could love you in your moonlit glory
To see your almond eyes turn blue
at the dawn of love's fulfillment

Storms and Rainbows and I will be there
if you will reclaim your own
Tho lonely days for now torment us,
our love still lives in silent waiting
Storms and rainbows and I'm still here.

The Wind in My Face

The heartless North Wind blows and slaps my face with sleet. "She was just like me." It says mockingly. "She wont be back. She never loved you. You are history to her and good riddance man!"

The hot and dry West Wind is next to mock me. "Behold your future without her." It says as I look on endless sand. My eyes glance to a dried up fossil, crumbling with time. The West Wind says, "That's how she sees you but look to your feet." Swirling there at my feet is a small dust devil. "That's the dust of the grave. It's all that remains of your tender, sweet love. That's all she left for you."

As a tear wells up and rolls down my check it's brine is overtaken by the ocean salt coming from the Gulf's South Wind. I look and behold a hurricane of confusion and I am lost at sea. She was my lighthouse but I've lost that light. The ocean's bottom is no match for the depth of sorrow in my heart.

As I sink in darkness for the last time I hear the gentle song of St. Ester calling from the east. She sings of new hope, new birth and she sings a song of lilies in the Spring. I hear the laughter of the children we planed to have. I see the a lush green garden where we planed to take our vows and I hear the echo of my lovers words "You have won my heart, no matter how bad things get, promise me you'll always know that." I do and will.
