the nite it comes
it waits for the moon
to share its light with the sky
and venus she waits for her company
alone I can hear her cry
the moon it arises
joins her at last
side by side like love they shine
but the moon with a course
all of his own
sadly he leaves her behind
‘the love of the moon’

walk with me in the star light
the warm breeze surrounding us
a gentle touch of your hand in mine
let’s talk of things
let’s taste tomorrow
speak of dreams
what love has brought us
cast among the shadows
scattered in our hearts
dlj2014
life is more than it appears
we are all on a journey
a journey that is filled
with love and knowledge and happiness
these belong to each of us
if we choose to accept them
I tell you a secret
life is more than it appears

she dances
in a field of gold flowers
dancing, spinning
in delicate circles
her steps are pure love
never bruising a single petal
and the flowers bow to her
in the rain scented breeze
as if she were a queen
the wind brushing her
long blonde hair
she dances for the day
and the joy therein
even if we cant reach
the stars at least
let our arms be outstretched
as if to embrace them

as only love
can recognize love
any beauty you see
or feel is secretly
a part of you
for only beauty
can perceive beauty
sometimes on sunday morning
I smell my mamas biscuits
cooking in the oven
the smell of a beef roast
cooking on the stove
I hear the laughter and
the sound of children
playing outside and slamming
the door as they go in and out
mama constantly chasing
us out of the kitchen
to keep the grown-ups away
trying to steal a biscuit
fresh from the oven
even from another room
I feel my mothers happiness
and to this day I still feel her love
some times I think if I turn
around fast enough
or look quickly enough
over my shoulder
I will be able to see her
cooking for her children
and the look of love
on her smiling face

today the clouds
all have names
though they will
not reveal them to us
today my dog speaks
in words of japanese
kemuri no zassÅ
I had to translate
today the smell
permeated my head
with the scents
of yesterday also
all the days to come
today my love grows stronger
day by day by day by day
it increases in my soul
till the day I become love
today or any other day(c) 2015dlj
welcome to the electric night
and the land of eccentric dreams
look into my voltaic eyes
hear my sapient screams
of words of love and other things
what time it takes before we sing
but the lullaby it always brings
slumbers to my bed
dlj2014(c)
as she lay dying
her family crowded and crying
and no hope or trying
could give her a hour more
but her life wasnt wasted
for love she had tasted
shown in children’s tears pasted
on faces from her bed to her door
