"Peace" of Thought

  Love Is Like Chocolate Smooth, sweet, delicious memories Awaken the beautiful mystery of my mind And trapses through my musings Without even a notion of bitter taste. Sing with me the most succulent songs That linger with absolute tones Of magnificence and splendor Just as the rise of my hastening heartbeat Continues along the current of my veins And my satiated body tingles While the most agreeable tastes of delight And the awe of its mere existence Enriches like the savory first bite Surrounding itself with unnecessary resilience Without the populace quiet awareness. Yes, love is like chocolate the people exclaim As out of various hues of brown erupt Just enough light to capture what was hidden  Beneath the richness of sugary beauty Where solids mollify and are eagerly swallowed Delivering deep affection for all that is.

  Mind To Paper Look through the hidden cracks and you will find The university of my mind, While trapsing through the dreamy dark Sweet silence left behind. You will look upon a little living light Through paved pathways of my minds new night And sparks will faintly flicker While wading past life's slight in sight. My thorough thoughts then quickly overcome And simply settle with a quiet hum. You will eventually enter and seed the drill Which my melting mind has created and become. And then like lucid lightning and thunderous skies The looming creative conception lies Beneath the splendid surface Begins its outward inventive cries. You will then see the eager exercise begin Where pen verses paper, and paper wins Scribbled words of mind eye laid out That sacredly speak of truths and sin. And wonderous words on lines in rows, Connect and yet earns ebbs and flows Wonderous when's, what's why's and where My mind like seeds in a garden grows. CNK

  Moments Within wild windswept wonderlands I take cautiously casual steps forward Catching each moments brilliant breath For every turn leads lazily down A roughly laid radiant road. Spectacular sumptuous scents Beckon my beautiful binding inhale Capturing exultant and powerful scenes That lazily linger in well composed fields As I quietly hum to the beautiful tune That calmly disguises itself as a breeze, And then I find my glances at gregarious greenery Remarkably breathing colour And my wide eyes take in the unimaginable. Steps slowly usher to a stop And to my minds eye I fall suspect Toward lovely lingering life bestowed Upon this magnificent magical moment That is everything within my mind. CNK

  The sun shines bright, just west of high There's crisp cold air, and bright blue sky The blue jays and the cardinals cry While eating seeds on snow that lie The freezing temp, I breathe in deep And wonder where they all do sleep While some on top of drifts do creep The willows branches bare still weep At 2:15 my eyes do lay On glow white fields, I look and pray While stillness steals the heart of day And in the present I shall stay And the moments come, and then they go The winter breeze begins to blow The forest bare of leaves I know But quiet life inside still grow Throughout the vast cold outdoor air The chimneys smoke spreads everywhere Through snow so deep, I tread with care And make my way back toward the stair I turn and gander, one last time This winter day is so sublime I'll plan to return again sometime Before the temp begins to climb

  Light And the sweetness from the drink of loves light Tingle on my lips as it peaks in shine Right before I lick the shadows Away, and watch the glow radiate throughout A future time where darkness drowns And the white of destined colours Clings to all approximate distances Warming and never excluding a point in time Travelling forever in eternities arms Stopping only to be blissfully reflected Back toward my translucent soft skin Where it tingles once again.

  And she counted the days The months and the years As she watched the boy play Free from all fears And she listened to stories Some grand and some small As she sang him sweet songs Through springtime and fall And she watched the boy sleep Tucked into his bed As she turned off his light Closed the book that they read And she kept the boy safe From wicked and scorn As she taught him the lessons To guide and to warn And she filled him with love And the young years grew few As she slept she would marvel Of all that he knew And she dreamed all the dreams That all mothers would As she slowly let go Doing all that she could And she noticed one day He stood tall on the land As she looked in his eyes His face like a man And she knew time had come To let the boy fly As she saw his bright mind Reach for the sky And she thought all the thoughts Full of wishes and hope As she hugged her young man Then untied the rope And she watched ever more Every step that he took As the pride in his journey...

  Time In the silence of the inner workings of the mind The clocks hand spins quickly As time swiftly moves yesterday into today and grinds To rapidly move time into tomorrow It's an expeditious game of moments. And so this ride as it flies high as a thunder cloud and faster than the speed of light Takes me always by surprise and to great heights Broadening this humanizing experience Keeping rhythm with passing instance And all the while, enclosed tightly inside my intellect. With awesome grandness of the future comes Always forecasted by what most uncertainly hums We blindly proceed with the most unnecessary caution As the gestures of the universe Fall into play And this rapid game of unconfined moments Perpetually primed pieces that last for all of eternity, yet the bestowment So transparent yet with unknown complexity Shall come and then go At peace or at not. Time at each juncture requires no justification While movement to each instance is the one true certain in life's ab...

  These Days When tears like ice fall from the sky The people asking why Their voices sang before they'd cry But that was just a lie The spirits scream into the wind They race away from sin Down smoother paths they all begin Is this the life we're in? With millions plagued the illness lease Now looking for the piece To flatten curves and then release Survival chance increase And leaders fight to win the race Often with disgrace The people torn between each case To heed a trusting face The seasons come so quick these days Each day it in its prime With every moment still we climb Hopeful for bells that chime When tears like ice fall from the sky The sun now asking why It still will shine as people lie Beneath the heavens high All we can do is try...

Brownies for Breakfast - A Holiday Tale I have a weakness I'm afraid this is true I just can not help it I'll share it with you Pre-Christmas treats saved Are in kitchen right now Waiting for Christmas But I don't know how... I can wait much longer They beckon and call They want to be eaten Not just one, but them all! The cookies, the tarts Brownies, bars and the pie Choc-o-late haystacks They call but I'll try... To wait.  But I CAN'T The feeling is strong If I have one or two What could go wrong? I've just had my breakfast My coffee was good But one little treat Will not hurt, but it could... Open the window To have several more To the kitchen I go Open up the fridge door I pick up a brownie It's cool and it's sweet My mouth is in heaven I eat it all, what a treat! But now just a cookie What harm could it do I reach for the package My hands stick like glue And now I feel guilty Committed a crime I just couldn't wait Until Christmas time So - out co...

  And she sat with her pen and paper Watching cars that sped on by And the blackbirds sang in the trees that lie In the golden fields of the distant sky And she sat with her dreams about her Breathing crisp cool air that brought Breezes whispered were found and caught On her forehead as she kept her thoughts And she sat thinking through her memories Wondering where the time had gone Keeping rhythms slow and all sent along With tunes of golden times lie song And she sat looking through the sunlit clouds Holding her breath and listening to soul Her words spilled out like fires glowing coal The ink on paper took its toll And she came out from dark long shadows Through steady lines she sold Breaking barriers and finding white gold Her truths to others now she told And she sat with her pen and paper Watching cars that sped on by And the blackbirds sang in the trees that lie In the golden fields of the distant sky CNK
