Plants

As bee and butterfly flit through the green
Amid a summer day
On a rose flying-beauty paused to preen
While bee begins to play

The garden sways gently to the breeze
It’s rustle fills the air
Aroma and beauty with aim to please
A sensual gift so rare

People

The world wants lovers never pain
To dance in sunshine without rain
Our very nature will cause a rift
Away from Eden we slowly drift

Human nature a cunning score
Breaks the heart whom we adore
For want of love unconditioned
Search the world for our rendition

Young love will often never last
For inner tensions we are cast
Still we search for a kindred soul
A companionship to make us whole

Personal Challenge

I am taking on a new personal challenge, hoping that it will force me to make time for my writing. You can read about it over at my other blog The Randomness in My Mind.

Soothing

I know things aren’t quite what they seem
And I see you building up her dream
Lay down now in the bed that you made
As I watch your memory fade

A liberating sense of glory
In not telling her your life story
Let her believe what you’ll say
Let her decide how long she’ll stay

Don’t remember me when she’s gone
When she figures out she’s your pawn
I have the strength to let you go
To reap the seeds you must sow

Jealousy won’t return my heart
I’m off the road you always start
You’ve pushed the limit of your game
My heart’s no longer yours to maim

For Want Of

A random discontent
In my body and my mind
I want to feel something more
My heart instead is blind

Wandering through my days
No purpose in my gait
No need to plan the future
Silently still I wait

Pacing through my mind
For something to stir my soul
Something more is out there
Something to make me whole
