CHAPTER 1
Art
The purest form of the human expression is art
The soul itself
Naked understanding
A subtle breath
A magic that will ignite and inspire
An unannounced invitation
To every passerby
Uninhibited by time
The rare simplicity of capturing and containing a moment
Being able to hold the interpretation in your hands
The language of the human spirit
Genius
The simple ness of today
The beauty of a pure start
The hope of lights
The whisper of tomorrow
The promise of genius
Newborn Flower
You are the eternal battle that suffocates
The light in my soul
You are the steady hand
That does not hurt me
You are the prayer
I have never prayed
You are the face that I
Have never looked at
In the rain
I see you gently falling down
Like a newborn flower
Full of life
Imaginations
In the shadows of the morning
In the deep darkness of what
Is not yet born
Like the solace of an angel
You fall
Rain down on me
Gently
Softly
Slowly
You envelope my heart
Like an unborn secret
You come to me
As a newborn lover beckons
Waiting for love to come to life
You pull
Draw me toward you
Closer our souls become
As I learn about you
Before the shadows and darkness
Melt and form into the sunlight
Of day
Before life and existence have imaginations
Caught
As the roses fade with the morning dew
And the frost sets in
My heart turns to you
As a newborn breathes the first
Breath of life
An angel steals my words away
As I look at your face for the
First time
My heart and soul
Are caught and overwhelmed
By you
Open Heart
As the birds gently sing
And the sun rises
You come to me
Forgetting to wait
For an open heart
You are ready for me
Not letting an opportunity
Go by
Candlelight
You look like my table at candlelight
Scattered with flowers across the sky
I Love You
What do the words I love you mean to you
Are you strong enough to die for me today
Healed
Like an angel
You rain down on my heart
With an everlasting love
You love me
I am healed by me
By what the rain
Washes away
War
You have the strength to pick a fight
But not the heart to win a war
Whim
You broke my heart on a whim
I gave you my love
And you hid the truth from me
Now we are apart and it is so painful
To be away from you
My tears do not help or bring relief
I see no way through this
My love
I need your hope
I need your strength
Sensuality
You have to know how to soften a woman
Without hurting her
Just like you have to know how to
Open a man without making him angry
Shared
Love is a weakness
Or a strength
That is shared by
Two hearts
Overspend
Always overspend
In matters of the heart
It doesn't leave room
For temptation
Communication
Violence encourages hatred
Like a mouth full of condescending words
Loses communication between persons
Here With Me
My love
I missed you today
It was not the same
Without you beside me
I can see you everywhere
And it saddens me
I wish you were here
With me
I miss you so much
I missed you today
But maybe today
Is not the right time
For us to be together
But I wish it was
For both of us
I wish you were here
With me
For once in a lifetime
There is an absolute truth
Like the gentle moonlight
Or the soft fading star
In the midnight sky
I love you
More than words can say
I pray you are guided home
Tonight
And I will wait until you
Find me
Goodnight
If you ever do
My love
My heart will wait
Until we both find
A place to rest
Attraction
A crystal clear beauty
The purest of gazes
Gently make me lean
Toward you
Our mutual attraction
Is strong
You know me
That look in your eyes
A soft caress
The half smile
That whispers between us
A lost lullaby
Floating in the room
A tension that tames
The silence
Today
My love
I missed you today
I know we are only apart
For a short while
But I want you to know
My heart
If today ends early
Or tomorrow never comes
I know in my soul
That I did not forget
To tell you how much
I love you
All my prayers are answered
All my tears I gave you
Sleep safe
My knees are tired
As I wait up
And watch for you
Heart Of Your Eyes
The waters rise and fall in the morning breeze
So beautiful are the feet of your knees
Catching my tears
Gripping my heart
Stretching the doors of my soul
Like a baby in sleep
You relax my emotions
Like a mother's prayers
You don't forget me
Like a spouse
You attract me to your side
I am lost in the heart of your eyes
My love
Good-bye
I am overwhelmed
In a deep sadness
But I cannot find any comfort
Without you
Your comforting words
The soft sound of your voice
Drawing me in
The constant touch of you
You always miss me
You never forget me
Never has there been a
Good-bye between us
Without You
You are the apple of my eye
You are the love that satisfies me
You are my strength
You are my weakness
You are my constant need
Daily I wait for you
Daily I long for you
Always will I desire you
You are my lover
My best friend
The light in my eyes
The hope I carry with me
You are the one thing
I don't want to live without
Weight Of A Tear
My tears come without
Thought or meaning
They are natural
They are pure
I no longer wipe them away
They are constant
They continually wash my soul
They cleanse my mind
And calm my fears
I don't worry about the
World around me
I am healing myself
My tears are common
They are known by many
They tire me
And I sleep
I never knew a tear
Weighted so much
Touches Of Life
Rain down on my heart
Carry a fire for me
The sunsets of my heart have faded
The lights I can no longer see
The heaviness that overcomes me
Cascading over me
Graying my world
Turning opals into ebony
Stealing their beauty
Clouding over everything I see
The nakedness of my heart
That cannot speak
Upsetting balances
Unmet needs
Clouds of mixture that upset me
Leading, unending, never minding me
Seeing blindness in eternity
Nourishing health to secrets in me
Singing softens the lights inside
Brightening the silk in my eyes
Crystal waters colored by glass
Embody a spirit
A wild beauty
A language written by the sand
A passion that fulfills and consumes me
Your touches gently fade away
You leave your name next to me
I remember you by
The treasures you give me
Precious aromatic thoughts of you
The little touches of life and light
I find walking in you
The Sea
I hear your voice over and over
In my head
The sounds you sing bring me peace
The softness
The crashing next to me
The things you hold
Things you bring to me
Mysteries you create
Islands you go see
Time and sand hold you
And call you mine
My love for you has blinded me
To the corruption that uses you
The waste that you are trying to avoid
I try to protect you
Aware of tomorrow
Knowing what your consequences
Might be
I still love to see you
I carry your seashells
The scent you make for me
Your beauty always colors
Miles in front of me
Playing, laughing
Talking, loving
The life you lead
Your peace
Your compassion
Your touch
Carefully restores
Breathes life into me
The warmth created in your arms
Hides what frustrates me
You teach me
You care for me
You watch me everywhere I go
Everywhere I am
You allow me to be at ease
To find myself
You know me
You save me a place at your feet
I wait for you to touch me
You inspire me
In the morning
In the evening
At night
I admire your beauty
The stillness you demonstrate
You calm my fears
Life, anew and old
You speak to me
Recreated, reborn
You carry my needs
You wash them
You carry them
You take them from me
You set me free
And erase pain from me
You caress carefully my brokenness
You are quiet with me
You befriend me
You listen to me
You speak to me
You read to me
You encourage me
You are full of vision
Promise you bring to me
My questions are lost in you
Answers are not in view
Your spirit and truth
Ignite passion in my soul
You do not deceive me
You do no threaten me
You are steady
You hide me
You show me a new world
You let me know of different kinds
Of beauty
Blues, greens, grays
Flowing and swirling inside of you
Heaven comes to life
When I see you
When I touch you
When I look into your eyes
Easily
Easily everything comes and goes
Easily you fall, slip, drop from my hands
Easily you find, return, sell yourself to me
Easily you exist
Naturally you are yourself
What Makes You Beautiful
I hope you live happy
I hope you live free
I hope you make tons of memories
Follow your heart
Follow your desires
Never let anyone
Talk you out of your dreams
Or convince you otherwise
They are only jealous of who you are
Of what you are becoming without them
They have parted ways
Divorced you
They covet and curse your future
Your happiness
They are not satisfied
Or content with their world
They imitate, mimic, mime you
An evil that follows all you do
Trying to tempt, enslave, trap you
I hope you live in love
I hope you live in light
I hope you laugh with someone
All your life
Follow your instincts
Trust your decisions
Never lose your identity
Don't let anyone change you
You are what makes you beautiful
The fullness
Ripeness of age
Lovingly encountered
Daring to be
Live life
Don't let life live you
Unlovely
You are present in every person
You are present in every prayer
You are present in every language
You are the tides that move the spirit
You are the heart that meets
Those who need you
You are the feet that help those
Who cannot get to you
You are the arms
That reach out to those
Who cannot touch you
You are the one who will not
Overlook the Unlovely
You are the same to everyone
You are the same to everyman
You are their every need met
You consume their every fear
You are a father
You are a mother
You are a sibling
You are a friend
You are a home
When there is nowhere to go
You are the sustenance
You are a life made whole
You are a prayer
Where there isn't one left
You are the desires
You are the life
You are the love
In every man
You are perfection
You are compassion
You are forgiveness
You are the start
You are the finish
You are in the middle with them
You are the wish
You are the breath
You are the life in man
Expression
Emotions are a way of letting go
Releasing energy
Feelings
Telling people how you feel
Or how you don't feel
They demonstrate
Your thoughts, attitudes
Expressions
Emotions need to breathe
Escape
They should never be captured
Buried
They are dangerous
Exhausting
And destructive to you
And those around you
They need an outlet
A form
A name
Seasonal Park
In the light of the sun
You carry me forward
The breeze flows through me
And brings me closer to you
You still attract peoples and families
To you
Even out of season
You keep them coming
They find new fun with you
The deer have moved on
And it is quiet today
The faint sounds drift passing through
Meeting me and you
Over the bridge
Crossing the frozen water
Laughter is heard in the air today
The moments
The time spent with you
Games you trade with them
Walking, running, cycling beside you
Birds all gone south
Take time to remember you
Waters no longer run
And move with you
Ice fishing
Camping on the water
Branches caught in you
Leaving no time soon
Colors walk over you
In orange and brown
Shielding your blue
Vehicles hidden inside you
Bring friends and visitors
New ones to you
Yellow grass will turn
Golden colors again
It will brighten you
You will be alive again
Slumber
The sounds of the season
Coming and going
In and out
Changing constantly
Warm and cold
White ice
Melting snow
Dripping and refreezing
The colds that turn back to winter
The winter that disappears from
The sky
The fullness of the middle
The mid noon day
Blue pushing through the gray
Moving forward on
Disappearing into the beyond
Changing it's mind
Seeing through and past the time
Wandering with the white
The colors faded and dry
No longer bring you out
No longer call you to life
You lay in sleep now
You slumber
You hibernate
You are whispered down with a lullaby
When it's over
You are awakened
To a different tune
To a new song
To the life that nature brings
To what calls out to you
For now it is your season
For now it is your time
The beginning
The end
The finishing of you
Once a year
You own everything anew
You bring out what is you
You recall
You relive
You rebirth
Your time
Your truth
Coldness, stillness
Quiet days of you
Pictures Of You
You drew me in
You attracted me
Your natural beauty
Your innocent desire
You draw everything out of me
You leave me peace
My eyes blink
I take pictures of you
To store in my memory
To keep with me
To warm me when I
Think of you
The waters converse with me
The moonlight drips down
It touches the water
It rests in peace
It cascades on the earth
Leaving blessings behind
I stand in wonder
When I look at you
I walk around and gaze at you
You are ever calling my name
You are the closest waters
To the oceans and the seas
I know
Your surroundings are cradled around you
In starlight
Dusted with the sweetness of the city lights
