Anniversary
The leaves may turn and the petals fail but my love will never leave
The years may go and you're not here but still your spirit know
I only need to think of your memory and then I need not grieve
For where you are the happiness you gave me here again show.
And it is easy to give into your loss and my sorrow
But then I will have to forget those happy moments we did share
And though I may miss you again tomorrow
In every ray of light that shines I find...

Unwavering Faith
Our spirit can never be broken as our will is strong
Because nothing can stand in its way
For to a higher purpose do we all belong
And this is only the testing ground where we stay.
We will, one day, prove that our promise will realize
All the challenges we faced will overcome
As long as we know that Heaven is the prize
To no evil here will ever simply succumb.
It may seem these words are only written in vain
That the darkness around ...

Sonnet 353 (Love as Sweet)
The sun so softly shines where love does grow
The night cannot obscure such rays so bright
But where you are the fairest light I know
Where all on earth must bend before your light.
The Robin sings so sweetly in the day
The silence, now, is smitten by her sound
And where you’re heard a melody does play
So, in my heart, my harmony is found.
The ocean’s waves upon the shore do land
Their ebbs and flows do bring serenity
The way I’m calm by ho...

No Time (In memory of St Curtis Lance)
And Time has dealt its cold hand once more
As it will with all on this earth that are living
But, then, Heaven must open its door
To the spirit you are bringing.
But a place brightened by your light
That makes it stand out among the stars
For now they must acknowledge your sight
That no darkness mars.
And you will live forever there
Where angels your poetry will recite
In the melody that even for them rare
And show Heaven Earth's best ligh...

Sonnet 351 (Only Come from You)
What sound I hear that whispers in the air?
An angel's voice that found an earthly ear
So sweet I need not climb to Heaven's stair
For with such chords is Heaven singing here.
Yet, 'round I look and nothing do I see
A spirit, then, must be the reason why
I cannot touch but yet envelops me
My cares erase and draws from me a sigh.
The trees before such melody do dance
The river's flow reflects its rhythmic sound
That nature bends and shakes to such ...

Death's Second Self
This mythical fascination with immortality
I believe each moment here is precious
Though I know Death will stop for me
Then the life I live here most relish.
When that time comes and I must leave
I wish my time here remembered well
Though those left behind for me may grieve
The example I left, I wish, lives on to tell.
No need to hope this earth no limits give
The time it allows is enough for me
I am grateful for those moments it lets me live
Though there ma...

A Look
I see the way you look at me
And you see the way I look at you
Our heart's invitation all can see
Only a few words to see it through.
Our feelings nothing can deny
Now the next step they must take
That our longing will satisfy
And from our feelings our union make.
And learn love’s appearance unknown
It does not care if you believe it shows
It is governed by what our spirit sown
And only by what our heart knows.
Seeing you again may be the time
When our feelings to ou...

Only a Taste
There was an angel that Heaven sent to me
And through her spirit I learned to love
A feeling that from this earth made me free
I should have known it came from above.
For soon from this place, she had to go
And I was left to deal with what she left behind
Without her love only sorrow left to know
And nowhere else such love could find.
And now I am left with only this question
Should I go on without a woman so divine?
Then have to continue having learned this lesson...

Christmas Forever
the world was dark before, no end in sight
Until that morn a babe was born here
That from our darkness showed the light
That showed us hope and no more fear.
And now the darkness comes once more
So why do we want to celebrate?
For all that's bad goodness does abhor
This day we show that it can wait.
It may well be our fate uncertain
For the babe turned man put it in our hands
Will we rise to the occasion or pull the curtain?
Maybe He the only one who understa...

Christmas Every Day
You say it’s Christmas every day and it is true
Except this Christmas a couple things missing
I will miss the snowfall and now, you
Between the two, you the best dressing.
I can go without the snow or the cold
But that day on the beach I saw your radiance
That warmth will not be here to see or hold
Even though the sun shines in all its brilliance.
So, I will look for Christmas in an empty season
Maybe place a tree to spread some cheer
Without the one who gave...

The Love You Give
Isolated where paradise in all its grandeur live
But its beautiful bounty is not meant for me
For all its riches your precious love does not give
And for its landscape to be complete you I need to see.
So, I reside where heaven would call a second home
But where it best lived was in your eyes
Now where all seems complete my heart needs to roam
To find the love that would be paradise’s greatest prize.
And the night’s moon beckons and the morning call
The st...
