Sweet Emotion

Memories sit on our shoulders like a shawl
often tossed back in the breeze with delight
sometimes heavy upon us with remorse
regardless they are but an echo
of pages turned and lesson learned

You have the countenance of one who is forever falling up
the beauty that is explicit in truth
there is more for you than life between your dreams
you know the tune you've learned the words
and you sing the song with sweet emotion

Iridescence

Lost Gods in white feathers
silhouettes of recompense
vagrant hearts fading into suspicious shadows
moved only by those penumbral melodies
that chance upon a memory

Falling tides leave so much on the beach
in the morning the gulls leave the rest
when the sun has reached its zenith
and the shadows are no more
we're just another consequence
of our iridescence

Perfect Smile

Dream catcher in pearls and heels
you see beyond your circumstance
without a wind to lift you there
yet still there is that perfect smile
and knowing the beauty of the moment
you wear them both with grace of habit
and show the world a blissful soul
