Living Out The Dream

You bring him cheer the atmosphere
Electric as can be
It's something new these thoughts of you
That stir him constantly
While at your end he comprehends
The very same applies
He’s come to learn you also yearn
With all that that implies
A thought or two on he and you
And all that this could mean
The universe now says in verse
It's come to intervene
So there you are upon that star
Your castles in the air
For love you see has come to be
The answer to your prayer
You’ve smiled before but now there's more
To see those eyes agleam
The way it goes the world now knows
You're living out the dream

The Sunshine Of Your Love

Through an anxious night he’d awaited light
Where the sun could spur him on
But he heard the rain on his windowpane
And he faced a different dawn
Came the sudden storm and it said conform
And adjust to what’s at hand
Thus his heart was chilled and his eyes were filled
For the loss of what he’d planned
On that blessèd bed where you lay your head
Came a cooing sound so soft
That an angel spoke and it made a joke
Of the birds that were aloft
And he understood as you knew he would
There was silver up above
While the cloud was dark there was yet that spark
And its very name was love
Yes that spark was there he could see the flare
Then the sun came shining through
Gone the pounding rain from his windowpane
It had stopped because of you

An Ode To Yourself

Hearing you sing an ode
to yourself through words
he has penned from the depths
of his heart and soul
he smiles to himself knowing
that you've grasped the width
and breadth of his loving
Adding lines to the lyric
he perceives of a choir
expanding no end
till both heaven and earth
have joined in the singing
of a song that he's written
to you as an homage

This Angel Born

Descends the Dove upon the morn
To tell him why this "angel" born
The one he loves like none before
Such wise in fact it says "adore"
The Realm has ruled he be fulfilled
She's living proof of what It's willed
Beside him then the while his days
Whereas he kneels whereas he prays
Now made complete by such decree
He'd shed his tears that it could be
Who's grasped at last the reasons why
This "angel" sent from heaven high

Love Feather Light

He touches her with love's own touch
A feather light upon her cheek
Sure heaven high that makes it such
It takes her breath she cannot speak
He kisses her with love's own kiss
A feather light upon her brow
It's good for her to wake like this
And feel the things she's feeling now
He whispers words by love assigned
A feather light upon her soul
And angels sing as intertwined
Two lovers merge their hearts made whole

This Day In Spring

This day in spring let's choose to sing
And sing with great delight
Our voices heard with every word
A bird that's taking flight
A bird that sings the while it wings
Across those endless skies
That all may see how it could be
Should all our voices rise
Till all is peace within this lease
The heavens have allowed
Each single word as yet a bird
That soars above the cloud
This day in spring let's choose to sing
Like never once we've sung
Our minds above the thought of love
That's heard on every tongue

Song Sung Clear

When we lend an ear and the words are clear
it's a cinch to get things right
but if things we hear are but dark and drear
it's a world in black and white
In the coloured scheme is the living dream
as the rainbow's hues impart
with a message plain that's a sweet refrain
that resounds inside your heart
In the open field is the wine unsealed
whence the toast that sates the tongue
with the poet's word that the minstrel heard
made the song that's being sung
In the clearest tone are such factors known
none refutes nor takes to task
while this song one sings is the hope one brings
is there more that one could ask

Life-Sustaining Love

When the urge appears you'll be tried to tears
for the pull that's oh so strong
that the body aches and the spirit breaks
to be told you've got it wrong
As the thinker knows it's a need that grows
and you're not to brush aside
for the self on hold hurts a hundredfold
for the pain that's then applied
It's a sweet embrace that will light your face
when it's push that comes to shove
for the comfort zone of that act alone
is your life-sustaining love

A Woman’s Plea
|

She makes her plea to God above
To give her peace and give her love
Beside her then that special one
Who brings to her the morning sun
She makes her plea to heaven high
To make his love big as the sky
His word his bond and made an art
To keep intact her hopeful heart
She makes her plea to angels too
To keep his love forever new
To keep alive the things that are
That they may dance upon a star
She makes her plea both night and day
It’s never been before this way
And this she knows for sure she does
It’s nowhere now the way it was
She makes her plea both day and night
To keep him safe and keep things right
And so it goes she’s not denied
Both heart and soul he’s at her side

The Severed Limb

The Elder saw a father unduly
harsh to a young son, and he
took that father aside, saying:
“Behold the forest, so rich
in saplings, each one unique,
complete, and whole.
Now see a man, as might a thief,
come to sever a limb
from one of these.
In time, this tree is grown,
moss a cover to its great wound,
that this one should seem
a tree, complete, and whole.
And yet, in the great expanse
of space and time,
all secrets will be known, while this tree.
in its aloneness, must surely be found
troubled and weeping
at the loss of that which indeed
make it complete, and whole….”
That night, before retiring,
that father held to his son
like never before, seeing him
to sleep with great songs
of both promises,
and praise.
-Richard
