Silent tears fall
In silence, hurt and pain own an echo.

Eyes burn,.. salty water

Teardrops glide,
They seek surrender.

Alone, a soft welcoming kiss,

The night's soft breeze.

Memories of you.. fill my mind.

Silence.

Like twilight, fills the dark night sky

To sooth these, long, many years.

Emptiness yearns there to be more
.. More than the vast night sky.

The darkness of night
Becomes a stillness

Silence, yearns to be known

Known beyond any words reach...

To feel...

To be...
Heard

To be...
with you

This sound between..every beat within my bosom,
..overwhelms me.

No other sound could be
So loud,

so ... piercing

Sharp,

It's as a knife's blade
upon yielding desire

Beating,
.. beating
.. to reach,

You.

Silence fills all
Until there's no more space
.. For a breath to be found.

If only... time could be..as still.

Echos would not hurt
Silence, the absence

A gasp grows

Silence outreaches
substance.

The night air moves,

It's, it is a breeze?!

A soft kiss..., from beyond silence

It's...

You.

Ashes On The Beach The sounds of a heartbeat Nestling through the mist. Sunday morning fog Tingles as a kiss. Sea breeze caressing The melody of the sea. Longings beyond the tide Desires to be free. Quiet breaths whisper Delights of long ago. With a trail of memories The gentle dawn’s aglow. A lon...

Words at Play
____________

Remember?
Forget.

…all right?
You bet!

Ask again?
… the same.

Illusions?
… no pain.

When?
A child's refrain.

What is that?
A time to recall?

Shadows of candlelight?
Footsteps in a hall?!

A moonless night?!
Raindrops in flight?!

The tapping of rain?
Sounds… of the gutters and drains?!

Come on, now, tell me;
What do you recall?

Nothing!
Nothing at all.
What…; What’s that;
Can you hear the mouse?

Is the mouse in the house?

She’s snapped
… in the trap!

Does she live?
Or,… does she die?

She’s safe;
She’s under a glass.
She must not talk, can’t say
… of what’s gone to past.

Why not?
What will it do?

A final snap;
I’m telling you!

One more time;
Then, we will be through
Recall that time;
What’s happening to you?

Can’t you tell?
Look, and see…
My smiling face;
I‘m still free?!

Nothing!
Nothing at all;
Nothing took place.
Nothing to me?!

Doc?
Look at the time!?
It’s time …
We’re all through!

Till, next week;
Thanks Doc
I’ll be seeing you!

Sea Cliff Heights

In the darkness,
Reverberation
… empties silence.

… tap; … tap; … tap.

The tapping?
The pendulum‘s grandeur;
A passive state… to time.

Low, slow,
… distant echoes

A bid
… to serenity’s seduction.

Sweeping circuits,
Lap …long,
Against a pebble filled beach.

The tide calls;
Whoosh;
…whoosh;
…whoosh;
…whoosh;

Such foreboding waves
Call.

Surrender;
Approach,..;

Remember…;
Return…,

Taste …
The salty- sweet
… water’s sway.

Ache for desire;

To expose
… forbidden love’s impoverished tears;

An enchanting lure,
… hearkens

Come; … far
Beneath the rocky cliff.

My heart;
Wanting … ;

But no… !
Sanity holds…

It’s… not time.

A snare’s line rings;
Time moves…;
… tap;
… tap;
… tap.
Time, waives protest
… to this recital’s longing embrace.

Home,
Simply composed;

A love’s submerging refrain.

A door,
… stills, open.

A room;
The keep;

Through a corridor’s long shadow,
The silence speaks,

Pride’s measure
… ticks.

… tap;
… tap;
… tap.

Old tatters
Curtains dance.
Soothing drifts
…cool salty air.

… tap;
… tap;
… tap.

A calm state;

Moonlight.

Relics of a heart;

Composing drama plays to shadows;
Cracks on old plaster walls.

Glimpses return
… where waning movements hide;

The essence of sound and silence
Intertwine.

An old window-seat
… gives audience to the stars.

In eyes of youth;
A young girl‘s heart… lives

Once more.
Time falls
Moments recede.

Ah, my love;
I hear the Harp’s comb play

As gentle as a sigh,..

Rolling Home…; Rolling Home…;
Rolling Home across the Sea

A vow, misspoken;

To wait…;
Still…

… tap;

… tap;

… tap.

Golden hair;
Your fancy to heather’s yielding flow.

A hundred long strokes;
As… soft tenders weep.

An altering hue;
… fades of time.

Gold;
Silver;
Now, twists shimmer of soft white pearl.

Time combs these long old satin strands.

… tap;

… tap;

… tap.

Youth now spent; To wear once more
Soft lavender, love-knots.

Ribbons flow…

Aging wrinkles where once
Plump lips reach desire;

Now, the gentlest breeze
… plays prey of a beating heart

Memories.
Take to flight.

… tap;

… tap,

Yesterday is almost here …;

Years abandon
… to the dew scent heather;

Eyes close
To such need

… to touch.

To…

To…

… tap;

… tap;

… tap.
