Jade Vine
As radiant dawn warms the summer skyEcho the song from a waking magpie As dew drops glisten and slowly dissipateAnd the crest of a new morning slowly breaks A lovely young woman lays peaceful in her bedWaking with the sun arching overhead A smile, a kiss and heart-warming embraceIn greeting for this day she must surely face A love so pure for sweet JulianeAs rare and lovely as blooming jade vine A beautiful woman of God’s own designThe rarest of flowers and purely sunshine.

The Kiss
Taken by a symphony of fireOur lips unraveled timeSustained by the breath of our desireA blessing in soulful design Life Series #4 Previous in the series: Woven

Woven
A vast and desolate placeA sleek, dark voidThe pit of remembrance A memory of once long agoA sweet moment of brief respiteLost in the moon tide A voice devoid of emotionAn old record on a turntable — the end of a sad songScratching at the surface of consciousness A set of eyes that cannot seeA pair of hands that ache to touchEternal pain without knowing truth A basket woven of humanityA black tentacle weaving through our soulsJoining us forever in obscure machinations of life A moment of clarityA chilling truthThe façade is finally over.
