Fall

Samson's Desire

In realms where dreams and shadows blend,

A tale unfolds of beauty's rend,

For in a glance, a fleeting sight,

A man is lost in endless night.

Upon her face, a fair disguise,

Her beauty like the morning skies,

He finds himself ensnared, beguiled,

By charms that leave his senses wild.

Her eyes, like pools of liquid light,

Draw him in, despite his might,

And in their depths, he sees a flame,

That kindles passions, fierce, untamed.

Her smile, a curve of soft allure,

A beacon in the night so pure,

It whispers secrets, sweet and deep,

And in its glow, his heart does leap.

Her voice, a melody so rare,

It weaves a spell upon the air,

Each word a note, each breathe a sigh,

That stirs his soul, enchant his eyes

Her touch, a soothing gentle caress,

A warmth that banishes distress,

It sparks a fire deep within,

And leaves him longing to begin.

For in her beauty, he is lost,

A sailor on a tempest-tossed,

A slave unto her siren song,

A prisoner right where he belongs

And though he knows the dangers there,

He cannot help but still despair,

For in her beauty, he has found,

A yearning that binds him, tightly bound.

So let him wander, lost and free,

Enchanted by her mystery,

For in her beauty, he will roam,

Forever lost, yet ever home.

Guilty Pleasures

Even if the wages of our desire would be my very soul

She ignites a fire inside of me overwhelming self control

Passion singeing deep within the result of her affection

Propels an inward nature to the point of resurrection

Temporal bliss with every kiss, the fervor in her eyes

To gaze upon her silhouette reveals beauty personified

My appetite for pleasure, her touch the cause and cure

Lucidity abandons me inundated by her allure

Cloaked in her caress I find my will is overpowered

As I can’t resist the urge to taste the dew upon her flower

I tactually peruse about the contour of her frame

Mental artistry engineered imagination sustained.

Pugilistic Pedigree

If overlooked jabs become hooks which lead to a knockout blow

There’s nothing profound in losing rounds numb to pain reflexes to slow

Over years the ring can lose its sting, you become content with contending

Immersed in war band-aids on scars where sutures are needed for mending

Time and again you approach the moments where champions are defined

Seems then you lose the wherewithal to protect yourself at all times

Confused and dazed, head hung hand not raised, another dream deferred

Though no surprise in hindsight you surmise exactly what occurred

As the sun dial turns lessons are learned as you truly count the cost

Through the joy and the pain hoping what’s gained exceeds all you’ve lost

Recovery slow after a TKO, yet the Pugilists heart longs to dance

For the Pugilist knows if he can endure the blows he got a fighters chance.

Godspeed

You were on my mind the other day

Contemplating well-suited words to say

Intent on showering you with well wishes

Left side creates as the right reminisces

Getting to know you has been a pleasure

Good times often fleeting seldom last forever

Realize as you depart you’re never alone

Thoughts and prayers accompany you to a new home

May grace escort you in this amazing endeavor

Toward a chapter that’s fruitful with memories to treasure

Success a foregone conclusion your limit is the sky

To conclude I’ll simply say Godspeed and never goodbye.

Lonely Heart

Hey lonely heart hear my lullaby

Should be a sin for pretty eyes to cry

Let these words remove doubt and ease your fears

Find a conduit to your soul lend me your ear

Hey lonely heart hear my melody

Warm words to heal with harmony

Initiating inner peace that grows over time

Teleport toward tranquility through every line

Hey lonely heart hear my simple song

A sedative of syllables for all that’s gone wrong

A hypnotic haiku toward heighten emotion

Permeating your mind through sincere devotion

Hey lonely heart hear my lullaby

Should be a sin for pretty eyes to cry

Let lyrics cure what ails you my sonnet your elixir

Let your mind be a canvas as my words paint a picture.
