Day 329 - Dreams of You

Things are so different in the night

You enchant me in the soft light

You whisper the stars down from on high

You put your eyes twinkle into the sky

You inspire me to speak in tongues

You are the scent filling my lungs

In this dream you are the sun and the moon

You are my midnight and my blazing hot noon

You are all that ever need be

You are everything that I see

The flowers turn to the shade of your hair

So golden and perfect in the night air

The rivers run deep in the blue of your eyes

The blush in your cheeks makes the sun rise

And I write on forever, only of you

For nothing else matters, or could be as true.

Day 319 - The Locket

The Locket

Tarnished it sits in a velvet chest

Ages since it was remembered last

Emblazoned with an ancient crest

Opening reveals a long faded past

Of a girl with brown locks and her love

For the boy with the crooked grin

Years ago he was sent up above

The separation of the pair such a sin

She used to wear it with pride

Shining on the silver chain

All the arguments they had tried

Were simply made in vain

A pair like theirs could not be split

By mere things like class and race

On her parents porch she used to sit

Eager for a glimpse of his face

The month that he died, when the car hit

Shattered her world and drowned her in tears

Intoning time and again, I won’t believe it

They had promised one another years.

Years it took for her to finally let go

Finding her place in a world of the living

Where she would not bury herself in snow

Where she could go on, always giving

Giving that boy with that smile

The place in her heart forever more

Walking the road, mile by mile

Finding at last a family in store

Raising them, with all the love she had

Left from her boy who went to the sky

Too early, too soon and much too sad

She will join him, when life lets her die

Day 233 - Ancient Everglade

Modern girl, ancient place

So many stories to be told

How we adore you and this place

Framed by your curls of gold

Darkened corners seem to be

The core of this loving mystery

Who is the girl with the smile so wide

In this forest of growing secrets

Do they even have anything to hide?

Before the ageless sun once again sets

Low to bring in even deeper metals

Richer than the most royal of rose petals

Some color seems lost in this memory

Something hiding just below the light

Almost the scent of life so summery

It dares only now to hide from sight

Yet still a memory worth recalling

In the end tipping us down, to falling

Into the arms of another someone again

That this place gleefully whispers of

A haven you will to return to and then

Redefine the boundaries of your love

That are shadowed through rose colored shades

In the most wondrous of all stone formed glades
