In Limbo

There is no simple yes or maybe

Black or white slight shades of grey

The defining line between today and tomorrow

Reality unravels

Hope becomes a figment of the imagination

Ambiguity lingers in the air

Out of your grasp slips fragile possibilities

From eyes tears rally to fight a battle lost

In the end decisions still remain unclear

Leaving you suspended in limbo

The Unknown

I can’t discipline the forces that

Lurk seeking to devour happiness

To stop my soul from soaring

My mind to create

My spirit from breathing

My heart from loving

If granted all that would be

Left is an empty shell

Of what use to be

December

Dearest to my heart

Everlasting love

Caresses in the night

Embers inflamed to passion

Merry souls dance

Breathing in and out

Expressions of giving

Remains forever this

    December night

Wrong Turn

Turn left no take a right

Directions on sign

Obscured to vision

Is this my test?

Left lane or right

Fork in the road make a U-turn

What’s next?

Damn navigation system is speaking

In a language that doesn’t exist

Pull out the road map

Now I’m even more confused

Dead end a head keep on driving

Put on the breaks

This will not be my fate

To end on a wrong turn

The End

Beautiful words put into verse convey all the things

She couldn't say but desired too

Their time had come full circle and now

She was ready to move on

He didn't want their love to end

Couldn't understand why she was

Walking away from him

Something’s aren't meant to be assumed

Love comes, love dies

That’s part of the mystery of life

As the verse entered its next stanza

She gave him one last glance over her shoulder

As the song slowly played out

She carefully walked out the door

Her farewell to an

End to a love song

Don't Play With Fire

Drowning in desire

Opulence born and bred

Night welcomes clandestine meeting

Traverse to wickedness

Power of lust

Levitates rational thought

Anguish plays the role of executioner

Yesterday’s ashes mingle with misery

Wicked proclivities wets the appetite

Invites sin to lie in bed

Throes of covetousness ignites flame

Hell holds the door open to welcome

Fighting against primal urges

Inclinations driven by want

Repentances smolders

Embers are all that remains

Don’t play with fire…you’ll get burned

Caught in the Cross Fire

Camouflage in a war of desire

A love triangle

United in hearts battle

Glorified victory of soul of love

Honor belongs to no one

Trenches can’t conceal deceit

Inglorious esteem breathes contempt

Noble pride reaps sin

Tempestuous passions erupt

Hedonistic sojourns grief of dying love

Evoking a pledge of allegiance

Careless loyalty abandons hope

Resurrect a grave of loneliness

Obituary of lies fall from lips

Self- indulgent remorse

Shadows forgiveness

Freedom sounds for whom

Illicit acts caught in a moment of time

Revile intelligence of common sense

Eons of casualty of heart lie in a vacant field

            Caught in the cross fire
