I Remember Elaine
Just like a child of flower.
Rose colored cheeks and pink smile.
Green-eyed phantom of love,
Filled with desire.
She's there, whimpering as a storm nears.
Casting flat faced
stones across
Rippled waters.
Teasing man and beast with
The same amoral.
Never quiet, never still.
Eternal
wandering and gazing.
Pearl teeth and golden silk hair,
Silly little ribbons blowing
Here and there.
Yes...
I remember you Elaine.
Tennessee
Wonder is
it the same as yesterday,
when your
voice called my name,
how can
it be different anyway,
been too long to think ‘bout blame,
I wander
with greyhound to Tennessee,
my hand out to feel the rain,
if you’re
ever back this way again, you said,
be sure
to call my name.
There’s
distance in eyes that look at me,
there’s
tears in the voice that speaks,
and
as I wind the road to Tennessee
there are
promises that I can’t keep.
Wonder if
it still is yesterday,
wonder if
you will remember my name,
wonder if
the rain will ever stop
cryin’
in the hills of Tennessee.

Country Thoughts
Rambling I go, wandering still,
small breeze's whisper
by.
There a gray barn on the hill.
I hear an old owl cry.
How many years, how many tears
since that long ago
July?
Time goes past and disappears.
when did we say goodbye?
How many nights,
how many days?
In a lonely
grave is where you lie.
I wander on, yet my heart stays,
Country thoughts of you and I.
Illusionary
It’s the blossoms of bluebells,
it’s a song in the night,
it’s her feet dancing merrily
in the skies of her flight.
It is joy, it is madness,
it is a lurch of the heart,
as she slips past me
and the star twinkles start.
I cannot help but listen,
with a sigh and a smile,
to the drifting of her laughter
that lingers there awhile.
I wonder, oh how I wonder,
will perchance even she,
ever pause for a moment,
and beckon there to me?
