Night Stories
A Night Tone She never comes where I am, I miss her if she does. In the darkness the clouds race. The moon makes for shadow. She never comes where I am, Would want her if I could. The winds cold, my hearts bare. And the night sets the tone. She never come...
Stalker of the Night
A lady that's longing for a man who turns out to be her stalker of the night.I hear your whispers, One silent cold night. I find it hard to decipher, What you are whispering about. The stars are scattered through out the sky Brimming light that is coming from the moonlight. I composed myself for your near arrival, You, my love...
The winding vines tighten around the heart fluttering, bird-like and fit to burst. Heady hours flicker like Kodachrome through the projector in my head. Over and over the film slides, sticking on those little moments, shared smiles, discreet glances, the...
The skies are star-bright to the symphonies and I hurt. I ache, I've smeared my heart on the ground gladly that the world might see its streaks and judge them art. I hardly know what they are anymore. I touch, I feel, I feel like screaming, but is it enou...

The universe grants this old man another day.Purple clouds hang against a burgeoning blue Brightening scene backdrops black trees on the horizon Darkness again giving way to light brand new Spirits of night... spell soon will be broken Flickering stars once more bidding their final adieu Chilly nigh...
Sailor's Sky
Sailor's sky, a warning, or a delight?Night once more giving way. Brightening sky promises a new day. Stiff breezes blow clouds across the moon. Tree branches bend, dance and swoon. Playing melodies as they swoosh and sway. Silence broken by early birds at play. Singing praise with each chirp...

Dead silence ringing in my ears Alone outside in the dark of night A coyote's howl from nowhere appears My mind not filled with any fright Then a call from an owl I hear Awaiting arrival of morning's light Nothing in the dark this old man fears Droplet fr...
