Dressing the Marionette

Oh, how I've woven.

I am the lonely tailor

And she wears  my greatest piece;

She wears deceit perfectly.

Fabricated finicky stitching

Adorns those graceful strides.

"I love you."

Gorgeously empty words,

Lining the seams.

Putting Misery on Notice

-

Misery loves company
That’s what they say
In this world that’s a dangerous game to play

You gossip and lie
You even have fake alibis
Your cry for attention
Makes people want to hide

Now you claim that your depressed
Your world is full of pain
But in the end you're
Trying to drive me insane

Pain and Pleasure.

That day I sat at the window sill,

wondering at the relation between pleasure and pain.

O' how foolish I have been,

trying to grab something in this mysterious domain.

 

I have heard voices so divine,

they sooth your aching soul.

I have been the colors,

blooming on the canvas from the color bowl.

We've gone our separate ways you and I
Walked out of each others lives forever
Still some mornings I wake missing you
And I wonder do you ever miss me

We both tried you have to admit
But somehow trying wasn't enough
And even if you don't love me anymore
You know you once did and so do I

A LOVERS QUARREL

Unkind words blindly spoken
Over some silly little thing
Faith and trust are broken
She gives you back your ring

Darling listen to me you plead
Her eyes becoming twin waterfalls
You hurt me you did indeed
Her sobs echo down the halls

No matter how many years pass by
Daddy's little girl you always will be
My daughter my angel the apple of my eye
You're the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me

It's been years since I cradled you
Rocked you in my arms till you fell asleep
Those years flew by, as happy ones do
But I have all these memories to keep

Behind That Smile

Behind the smile with eyes so kind
What goes on in that mind?
A loving mother that’s for sure
For all your worries there’s no cure
But a loving heart is all you need
In this life to succeed
A true friend to all you know
The first place a troubled soul will go
You make them laugh at life’s cares
Because a trouble halved is a trouble shared
And in return you take your cares to God

Flowers in the field
They seem so surreal
As they flow back and forth
In a motion so still

As the wind whispers softly
In the air their fragrance flows
... Flowers in the field
Watch them wildly grow

Even though we are ten-thousand miles apart

A US Soldier persevered and succeeded in capturing my heart

The memory of his eyes, warmth, and captivating smile

Still makes my heart skip a beat --- reminding me that life is worthwhile

I float down the river lying so still,
oak branches shelter me, stars,
a canopy, lattice the sky,
my compass, my comfort
like campfire memories
of orange-gold embers
dancing with black velvet
clouds nesting in tree tops.

Distance does not affect love.

No matter how parted we are
Distance has not mattered at all
Our love,our thoughts
And the beautiful rhymes
Has remained with us, throughout the times
Our mini dumb fights
And the jumbo wars
Has brought us close, not farther apart
The smile u have, is the brightest star
That makes me shine, in the dim & dark
Your love is my need and my only desire
And my love for u is eternal, forever.

Earwig on the Threshold

I discovered him in the doorway
Stuck between In Here and Out There.
Trapped between worlds
He crawled along the threshold
Unwilling to choose.
I paused In Here,
holding coat, keys, briefcase -
the contents of my life.
I watched the earwig's defiant refusal
to conform to the world – either world.
