Making Love In A Meadow

Meadow flowers carpet the place

Where, lying in secret embrace,

I gaze up at his smiling face

While flowers, bowed in courtly grace,

Will later spring back to erase

The evidence of what took place.

Frost

 

Frost upon a window pane

Obscures a view of the mundane

And paints instead a vivid scene

Of forests cool in ice blue sheen.

And though the frost, in melting, will

Erase all trace of forests ... still,

It is for now a lovely view

No matter that it is not true.

The Robin's Song

The robin sings before the dawn,

trusting that day will come.

I listen while lying sleepless

wondering if my heart will still beat

once his song is done.

Day's End

 

And when the length'ning shadows' hue

Becomes a deeper shade of blue

My thoughts will always turn to you.
