Sugar Stars

Sweetness through the years
sugar stars in your eyes

your touch
instantly making me what you love

walking together
along an endless sea of tranquility

threats of the distant world
only making us stronger together

moon blushing
when we press deep

sitting together on a high peak
our bare feet stirring the night

your humming into a sigh
speeding up the slow spin of the earth

morning coming
again and again.


Then the Rain Came

Catching hold of us
near reaching the end

last glances
of the tease of comets

clutching into the last press
of our togetherness

building
into tears

dripping down into the dry leaves
of the tree we played in

the surrounding forest of our youth
encompassed by a city of sin

all the world has turned into itself
a twisting of ages we could have conquered

but we were too busy
trying to love our way out.


This is the End

On the last island
an apple tree
with the waters closing in

wave after wave
no one there
to say goodbye

not even a bird in the sky
to land on a branch
and sing the final song.


And Then God Spoke

No matter how bad it gets
it seems there has to be more

Space has no end
no wall stopping the run of time

Man and his mistakes
lifted high above the evil

God's love
forever forgiving.
