Altruistic Vibrations

Music down low

Candles lit across the room

In the corner a fire burns casting a glow

Shadows dance along the barren walls

Bed covered in rose petals

Sweet scent tantalizing a starved soul

Champagne and two flutes wait silently

Chocolate covered strawberries for the palate

Outside the wind howls

Soon to intermingle with the soft moans to come

Snow drifts softly against the windowpane

Dreamily the scene is set

In anticipation of altruistic vibrations

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
