When sunflowers bloom
And the grass grows knee high
Who would’ve thought
It rains in July
The warmth of the sun
As sparrows fly by
A turn of the weather
A final goodbye
Our summer has ended
The ground is now dry
This love has gone jaded
It rains in July
Strong roots are now fragile
You turned a blind eye
The season is over
It rains in July
When I look upon the heavenlies
A sphere of radiant light
Splitting open the evening sky
An illumination so bright
In latin it’s name is “Luna”
In greek they say “Selene”
This time I’ve had
conversing with the moon
Revealing secrets unseen
New hopes & past disappointments
Dreams that reach sky high
Whispers of things that no one else hears
Just between the moon and I
For that orb of night
Shares a glimmer of light
For anyone who draws near thy
As twilight falls
Watching over thee
Goodnight…sweet lullaby!
Once in awhile a reflection of light
will cast upon the ocean at night
mirroring self that’s tried and true
a masquerade upon hues of blue
a revelation of authenticity
unveiling that genuine you
So be real, be tangible
be who you were born to be
because the world really doesn’t care
about a fake V.I.P.
I arrived at a crossroad
where two paths diverge
one to the right and one to the left
the dual will never converge
I’m blinded in seeking
which direction to choose
Do I use my mind or my heart
the latter is justly pursued
Taking two steps forward
and one step back
finding freedom in movement
getting my life back on track
Because what I thought was the end
has only just begun
new beginnings are waiting for me
this test in life I won
Ancient of days
what would you say
to the one who has passed you
along the way
Do you have tales
on men of old
who have traveled your path
as history unfolds
Have you seen war
tribulation and love
the chronicles of humanity
in the makings of
Memories as you’ve witnessed
the worse and best of mankind
recorded in the annuals of nature
and preserved throughout all time
Not a day goes by
that I don’t think of you
imagining your sweet face
so pure and true
sometimes I wonder if you’d looked like me
the color of your hair
those beautiful eyes
the shape of your nose
or your tiny smile
I bet you would be sassy, spirited, and smart
just like your sister
Or adventerous, down to earth, and funny
just like your brother
Oh these thoughts of you
brings me joy
as I carry you in my heart
for one sweet day
I’ll see you again
my precious angel
my baby love
my little garden of Eden
There comes a time to reach for the sky
where imagination and possibilities
linger idly by
when as a young girl
in the month of July
a birthday wish
a candle
in the blink of an eye
dreams set in motion
time tends to fly
and now I’m a woman
molded stronger by and by
to nuture and strengthen
a wish made long ago
to be my own hero
my candle still burns
Sometimes I wonder
when thinking of you
how life is so precious
and yet we live through
the heartaches of life
where no one is spared
taking for granted
we’ll always be there
the veil is then torn
between life and death
tomorrows never promised
love with no regrets
Beyond that great horizon
that separates earth from sky
lies the Sun in all it’s brilliance
as Cumulus floats on by
A luminous orb of light
Helios wildly shines
rays like chariots of fire
piercing quick and divine
and then the Sol meets it’s equal
standing at Neptunes door
where once it’s light was blinding
come softly near the shore
As I gaze upon caramel skies
with strands of gold and blue
dancing upon the ocean waves
a secret rendezvous
Both hand in hand
warmth and peace
a pair that’s tried and true
pirouetting across glassy waves
preparing for the new
starry night in all it’s glory
where wishes and dreams come true
caramel skies at it’s finale
another fine debut
