Timeless

The slightest glance
is all it takes
The softest touch
upon your face

Hungry breaths
drink up the scent
Our lips part
then reach to taste

There's no one else
just this time, this space
inhibitions gone
clock's hands are still

You run your fingers
down my spine
A shiver brings
us both to life

We move as one
in perfect time
Our bodies, minds
and souls entwined

Then all at once
with deepest gasp
I know for sure
I'm home at last

Fairy Tales

Born to believe
In fairy tales
Pirate boats
with billowing sails

With vivid dreams
Of damsels fair
We build our castles
up in the air

Then we’re grown
Time has ticked by
The magic goes
With sudden sigh

Fear and worry
Reach out to grasp
With power and might
Of poisonous asp

But they are just
Superficial beasts
That crack your thoughts
And begin to feast

Take no head
Of spells they cast
All illusions
Never meant to last

Brush off the doubts
Shared by some
Believe that great things
Have yet to come

There's.......

There’s a ray of light from up above
That pokes it’s fingers through the clouds
It shines a spotlight in the world
And wakes it from it’s shroud

There’s a friendly smile in tiny bud
That shines with morning dew
‘Tis nature’s precious gem
Worth much more than any jewel

There’s a busy hum all around
As bees go about their work
They flit and flee from flower to flower
Their chores they never shirk

There’s the gossip of a thousand birds
That chatters through the trees
They tell the tales of local feuds
That revert again to peace

There’s a silver thread, hidden well
That often can’t be seen
A spider’s home, his work of art
Which in the light will glean

There’s a whisper on the slightest wind
That will barely touch one’s ears
It takes with it another day
As night time slowly nears
