You’ve Expired

Like old perfume I forgot I had
and once smelled so sweet
But now, just stinks
Into the garbage
It goes
.
Bye

I Drift…

I drift into a dream
sometimes at night…
She’s soft and sweet.
And she’s vanilla deep.
Like smoke, dreams slowly
fade to morning light.
I see she’s there then
I fall back to sleep.

the key, unlocking

Prepare the structure, warm and wait a few
‘Cuz patience is the key when you’re burning oud

It takes some practicing to get to know
Requires loving warmth, consistency
The worth is worth all of the hard work, though
Unlocking your hearts inner intimacy

Worth the captivation when surrounding
A gentle healing power of unlocking
Raising like an incense that is cleansing
A short time with you is worth the consideration.

The key is patience when unlocking you
I’ll wait again to fall in love brand new

My Honey Blossom

My love grows wild but she’s surely true,
Sure to out-do the primmest gardens.
Floating, unexpectedly to you
With her aroma which un-hardens.

Surely sweeter in the sun
Whose heat will magnify her glory
She pulls you in as you walk by
You cannot, by her, be in a hurry

She’s honeysuckle, please beware:
Her charms are sure to catch you
If you stop and stare.

I Jumped Off the Boat…

I jumped off the boat and swam to the shore.
The woods, the lake, the wind-full mountain air.
The smell of fir trees bathing in the sun.
Breathing leaves me intoxicated – bare.
‘Til all my worries are simply undone.
This was my escape.
