Connections reward

Those that blossomed out of spring held my heart in

cheerful ring,

Those whose souls went out to soar held it too just

through and through.

Sadness, wonder, admiration and grief ripped and

restored my identity.

Shaped, and replenished, a different life ahead for

me.

He comes at night

He comes at night but not in fright, moonlight is right tonight. I see him first, my type that’s sure and closer now, come please, I’m her, the one you never saw, your cure. No need to fight what must be, right? His step is tight, a glance in site, I see your looking still. Come find your prey, a love, mid may, with summers heat at bay.

What keeps you out this lightless night? the moon took flight, and now alone in fright.

Oh stop your games so late at night when all was right before the light which touched so light was shadowed by your fright. He’s lost I’m sure, I’m lost, ensured. Your fault assured a shadow lightless fright.

Oh frightless light who shown this night, while darkness slipped inside my own, How bright and light, and then my bite, a guilt soon called my home.

Time to spare

A flower bloomed in a shade

where sunlight stayed softly, and dew.

A man stood erect, relaxed,,

with regret a fainting remembrance as Hugh.

His shade covered Shoes, soft leather blues,

stood facing the bloom,

in dew sprattled souls and etched leather patches in

two.

He held his gaze on the passing charade of butlers

and maids,

off doing the bidding of she who outwitted all that is

truly charade.

The taxi pulled up and stopped with a flup,

as its squeaky brakes eased from the jolt.

No worries my friend, I’ve got you, hop in,

the driver called out to the man.

He stepped through the door,

tucked shoulders and core.

Both shoes on the floor.

As the taxi man braced, shifted, and floored, away

from the flower and dew.

A shortcut my friend, looked back with a grin, wasn’t

chagrin,

a look more of sin than something so charming and

thin.
