Eternal mirage

Dreams are real
as long as they last
Porcelain shadows
Drift from the past

Eternal visions
Forgotten mirage
A surrender canvas
vulnerable visage

The world quite askew
Moorings insecure
Manipulative metaphors
sometimes endure

Their hazardous vision
contributing pain
But seasoned sincerity
Wins out again

So is it my dreams
wild and passionate
Or portions of reality
calm and appropriate

Well I choose my dreams
They're as real as they last
And can alter reality
You thought was cast

when you left

When you left
I felt bereft
Wail and keen
I slip between

'Tween death and life
Survival strife
My mind shattered
Nothing mattered

You whispered then from a book
I opened it and took a look
And found that just by looking up
Your soul and mine could ever sup

so now we take forever strolls
And do not suffer for death's tolls
For we have found eternal love
And walk with blessing from above

Drumbeat of the masses

So many say
Never enough money
Or enough time
Where did my life go

Because today
They only want it sunny
Or a billion dimes
Something to show

But if you can let go
The expectation
Let yourself free
And live dreams

The the world will show
It's affection
And reality
Isn't always what it seems

Unbroken

Unbroken belief
That I had in you
Every morning when
The day would start anew

Unbroken trust
That with our synergy
Together the best
We would always be

Unbroken friend
Even when I made you mad
Still you came back
For that I'm glad

Unbroken love
With you I cherish
Deeply I know
It will not perish

Unbroken heart
Beats in my chest
Holding you ever
Close to my breast

Unbroken spirit
Though bowed and bent
After the time with grief
I've spent

Unbroken faith
In our love divine
Walking forever
Your hand in mine

Dare to love

The wildest dare
The biggest care
Is loving one
Who is not there

When first we met
But not seen yet
I knew my love
I'd not forget

With words we talked
In minds we walked
And wandered well
Past twelve o'clock

I touched his face
Felt his embrace
And breathed a sigh
When at his place

Now he is gone
I carry on
And with his strength
I face the dawn

For with this heart
Did love first start
And with his spirit
Won't depart

Now others crow
I should let go
And with my favors Find a beau


But it is not
To be my lot
For with him I made
Loves true knot

So my true dare
To show I care
With love declare
And brave the stare

He leads

I will do now as I need
To my muse I now will heed
And within my soul concede
Though my heart may sometimes bleed
I will follow, he will lead
