THE SILENT WATERS
Silent waters yet undiscovered, do they
rage when no one looks?
Do they rage when no one will listen?
The heart a fleshy piston which pumps
madly with an unknown touch,
and overheats when alone.
Swirling clouds above his eyes,
he hardly feels his surroundings.
The storms approach as he turns his head,
in a direction yet unknown.
A curving angle if at all possible,
an arc which flows to no end,
hoping the road straightens beyond
this tunnel around the next bend.
Let down and many dreams lost,
his pride as a man is seemingly gone.
He clings to the hopes of a future
tommorrow,
as he locks another door within his heart.
Soon no one will discover the silent water
of his heart,
which rage when she doesn't look,
which rage when she doesn't listen,
which rage when she doen't care.
His tears feed the swirling
clouds above his eyes.

MOONLIT FIELDS
By the light of a distant star
a man sought refuge from the day
a wind from the North brought a chill
upon his skin relief from the sun's heat
he knew his dreams were close not far
as his body lay on the hardened clay
hearing her scream out so shrill
a voice wanting to hold, to meet
~~~~~~~~~~
Closing his eyes, he saw a field of snow
the moonlight casting a romantic glow
he saw an angel dancing in the cold
wishing to place her in his loving hold
She held out a thin silken hand
her heat melting the liquid sand
he admired her, the way she pranced
and thus joined her in the dance
~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadows cast from an angel of the cold
before him his dreams began to unfold
as she stopped and looked into his eyes
her heart told her she realized
no longer would she need to scream
for this man made up her every dream
nary a word but smiling she took his hand
and walked with him through the frozen
land.

THOUGHT # 1
Once again tonight I am alone
to lay in a bed we once shared
to face oncoming dreams of hope
afraid to wake cold and scared
~~~~~~~~
As I close my tired eyes I see
your shining face bright
the wavs of wonderful dreams
last night after night
~~~~~~~~
And in the morning sun as I wake
I turn to see you in your frame
I wipe the restless sleep from my eyes
knowing today's hopes are the same.
