• Spend Eternity With You

  : 3

  In the quiet mirror’s gentle gaze,
  I see the love that never strays—
  Your heart that hums my secret tune,
  Your soul that glows beneath the moon.

  Oh, joy! To walk this winding road
  With laughter lightening every load,
  To hold your hand through storm and sun,
  And marvel at the life we’ve spun.

  I thrill to greet each new day’s dawn,
  To cheer the dreams we rest upon,
  To watch us—brave, both strong and small—
  Rise up together, through it all.

  For love, I’ve found, begins with you,
  A flame that’s bright, forever true.
  I promise here, eternally,
  To cherish all that’s yet to be.

  So here’s to us, my dearest friend—
  Our journey never has to end.
  Excited for infinity,
  I’m blessed to spend forever—you with me.

• Miles of Us

  : 4

  The engine hums a quiet hymn,
  your silhouette—the dusk grows dim.
  Dashboard constellations glow,
  map lines soft on radio.

  Your laughter stitches through the air,
  a song no highway could compare.
  Steering wheels turn, but here we stay—
  the world dissolves in chrome and gray.

  Each mile melts like sugar spun,
  horizons blurred, two hearts as one.
  Your hand in mine, the curves we trace,
  this car, a shrine to borrowed grace.

  Roads end, but not this fragile thread—
  wherever stop, you’re home instead.
  The engine sleeps; the stars align.
  Forever’s just your breath near mine.

• My Beloved Daughter

  : 3

  You were a quiet sunrise
  slipping into my life—
  first a hush, then a blush of light
  that painted every ordinary thing
  with wonder.

  I have learned the weight of miracles
  in the curve of your small hand
  wrapped around my thumb;
  felt whole worlds shift
  each time you laughed
  at something only you could see.

  Know this:

  When the sky unbuttons its rain,
  I am the umbrella opening above you.
  When the path ahead splits like pages,
  my faith in you is the ink
  that will not fade.

  May you measure yourself
  not by mirrors or milestones
  but by the kindness you scatter
  like dandelion seed.

  And should the night ever feel
  too heavy for your shoulders,
  hear my love: a lighthouse pulse,
  steady on the horizon,
  guiding you back to calm.

  I loved you before language,
  before I even knew your name;
  and I will love you beyond
  every sunrise yet to come—
  always, all ways,
  my daughter, my shining one.

• Baptized

  : 2

  In waters deep, where shadows fade,
  I stand at peace, my fears allayed.
  A gentle voice calls out my name,
  In love and grace, I find my claim.

  The hands that guide, so strong yet kind,
  Wash over me, and I unwind.
  In this embrace, the past is gone,
  A new creation, I am reborn.

  As water drips, like mercy’s rain,
  Each drop dissolves my guilt and pain.
  I rise anew, my spirit free,
  In faith I walk, my heart in glee.

  With every breath, I choose His way,
  A light to guide me through the day.
  In trials faced, my hope will stand,
  For Jesus walks with me, my friend.

  So here I stand, my heart laid bare,
  In joyful trust, I lift a prayer.
  With every blessing, I proclaim,
  In Him I find my life, my aim.

  Baptized in love, my soul ignites,
  A journey starts, with endless heights.
  In waters deep, my spirit soars,
  Forever changed, I’m His, always yours.

• Wisconsin Whispers

  : 3

  Beneath the sky so vast and wide,
  With you, my love, I’ll always ride.
  Through Wisconsin’s rolling plains,
  Where golden fields and forests reign.

  We drift along the winding streams,
  Where sunlight dances, soft it gleams.
  The Driftless hills, they rise and fall,
  A quiet grace, it captures all.

  In Door County, by the shore,
  We watch the waves forevermore.
  The lighthouse stands, a steadfast guide,
  With you, my heart feels amplified.

  Milwaukee’s lights, they softly glow,
  As through the streets we gently go.
  The breweries hum, the laughter flows,
  In every moment, love still grows.

  The Northwoods call with whispered breeze,
  Through pines and lakes, our souls find ease.
  A campfire’s warmth, the stars above,
  With you, my dear, I’m lost in love.

  From cheese curds crisp to supper clubs,
  We’ve shared it all, our hearts in sync.
  Through every town, each mile we’ve roamed,
  With you, my love, I’m always home.

  So here’s to Wisconsin, wild and free,
  And here’s to you, my destiny.
  Through every road, through every hue,
  The greatest journey’s me and you.

• Ode to Bilbo

  : 3

  In the dawn of spring, with laughter bright,
  We welcomed a puppy, a bundle of light.
  With wagging tail and eyes like the stars,
  He filled our home, our hearts, and our scars.

  We taught him to sit, to stay, and to play,
  In the golden glow of each sunlit day.
  Through fields we would wander, in rain and in shine,
  With every adventure, our lives intertwined.

  He chased after shadows, he danced with the breeze,
  In the garden, he’d frolic, among the tall trees.
  His bark was our music, his joy our delight,
  In the warmth of our love, everything felt right.

  But seasons turned swiftly, as seasons will do,
  The years painted silver in his fur of brown hue.
  He slowed in his steps, his playful spirit dimmed,
  Yet still in our hearts, his light never trimmed.

  Then one fateful evening, a stumble, a fall,
  A whimper, a cry, and we felt it all.
  With trembling hands, we rushed to his side,
  In that moment, we knew, we could not hide.

  The vet spoke in whispers, the news cutting deep,
  Our hearts shattered softly, like dreams lost in sleep.
  We gathered together, with tears freely shed,
  In the silence of loss, where love felt like lead.

  Through the years, we had shared his laughter and tears,
  Now we clung to the memories, the joy mixed with fears.
  His collar, a token, his toys laid to rest,
  In the silence that lingered, we felt so bereft.

  Yet in every heartbeat, in the love that we shared,
  He lives on forever, in the moments we dared.
  Though the pain of his absence will echo and swell,
  In our hearts, dear old friend, you’ll always dwell.

  So we gather each spring, in the garden once more,
  With flowers and memories, we open the door.
  To the love that we fostered, the life that we gave,
  In the heart of our home, you’ll always be brave.

• My Beloved, My Everything

  : 3

  In your eyes, I’ve found my endless sky,
  A universe where my heart can truly fly.
  With every glance, my soul ignites,
  A love so pure, it feels like starlit nights.

  Your smile, a beacon in the darkest hour,
  A melody of grace, a radiant flower.
  In your laughter, I hear the sweetest song,
  A symphony where I eternally belong.

  My love for you is boundless, it knows no end,
  A flame that time nor distance can ever bend.
  I’ll walk through fire, I’ll cross every sea,
  To be the one who makes your heart feel free.

  I dream of fulfilling your every desire,
  Setting your spirit, your passion, on fire.
  For every wish, I’ll be your guiding light,
  Turning your dreams to reality, day and night.

  With every beat, my heart whispers your name,
  A love so fierce, it burns like an endless flame.
  I’ll cherish you, protect you, forever be true,
  For there’s no one in this world who loves you like I do.

  So take my hand, let’s write our story anew,
  A tale of devotion, of a love ever true.
  You are my forever, my everything, my muse,
  My heart, my soul, my life—I’m yours to choose.

• Where the Wind Carries Wyoming

  : 4

  Dusty boots trace the Tetons’ shadow-line,
  a prairie sighs, antelope blur the sage.
  Coyote hymns hum where the pines incline—
  the wind tongues secrets from an ancient page.

  In Jackson’s dusk, a diner’s neon bleeds,
  strangers trade snowstorms over coffee steam.
  June’s laugh lines crack like creek beds—stories seed
  where cherry pie melts into twilight’s cream.

  Bison carve paths through constellations’ sprawl,
  mustangs drum earth where asphalt dares not creep.
  Red canyons clutch the echoes of a call
  old as the falcon’s cry, the river’s sweep.

  Campfire sparks gnaw at the ink-black throat
  of night. The Bighorn points, the Wind River writes
  a map in scars, in hoofprints, in the note
  of steel strings frayed by endless, star-flung flights.

  Pronghorn dawn. Ghost towns exhale their dust.
  The wind stuffs my pockets with wild—I trust.

• Horizon’s Embrace

  : 3

  Beneath a sky where constellations bloom,
  We chart our course—wild seas, uncharted trails.
  Your laughter, compass through the velvet gloom,
  Our sails entwined, defiance of the gales.

  Through valleys where the dusk ignites your eyes,
  Each step a sonnet, rugged paths made sweet.
  Mountains bow as storms become our cries—
  No summit too fierce where two heartbeats meet.

  We’ll etch our names in canyons, deep and vast,
  Draw alphabets in sand where tides rewrite.
  No treasure rivals moments shadows cast—
  Your hand in mine turns endless dark to light.

  For time’s a map we’ll fray with reckless feet,
  Adventure’s pulse—where dawn and darling meet.

• The Tomb is Open

  : 3

  In the hush of dawn, the stone rolled wide,
  An open tomb, where hope resides.
  The shadows fled, as light broke through,
  In that sacred space, love’s promise grew.

  From death’s cold grasp, a victory won,
  The gift of grace, for everyone.
  With every heartbeat, a song set free,
  In the echoes of love, we find our plea.

  The chains of sorrow, now fall away,
  In the warmth of mercy, we rise and sway.
  For in the empty grave, our fears dissolve,
  Through the power of love, our hearts evolve.

  The flowers bloom where once was despair,
  In the garden of faith, we find Him there.
  Each whispered prayer, a tender embrace,
  In the arms of the Savior, we find our place.

  His love, a river, flows deep and wide,
  A boundless grace, our faithful guide.
  Through trials and storms, we journey on,
  With the open tomb, our fears are gone.

  So let us rejoice, in the light of the day,
  For the open tomb has shown us the way.
  With every gift, and every sigh,
  We live in His love, unafraid to fly.

• Sexy Angel

  : 2

  In twilight’s glow, she softly glides,
  An angel wrapped in silken tides,
  With eyes like stars, a sultry spark,
  She dances in the velvet dark.

  Her laughter’s like a whispered breeze,
  A melody that brings me to my knees,
  With every step, the heavens sigh,
  A beauty that makes the night comply.

  Her skin, a canvas kissed by light,
  Invites the shadows, ignites the night,
  I dream of holding her so near,
  To taste the sweetness, feel no fear.

  In secret gardens, where wishes bloom,
  I yearn for her in the quiet gloom,
  To trace the curves, to lose my way,
  In the embrace where desires play.

  Oh, angel, with your sultry grace,
  In every heartbeat, I seek your face,
  A fleeting touch, a stolen glance,
  In the realm of dreams, we find our dance.

  So let the night weave its tender spell,
  In the depths of longing, where silence dwells,
  For in this moment, let us be,
  Two souls entwined, wild and free.

• I Want You

  : 4

  In the garden where passions bloom,
  Amidst the whispers, love finds room.
  Her laughter dances, a sweet delight,
  A symphony under the soft moonlight.

  With every glance, a spark ignites,
  A universe within her eyes,
  In the warmth of her embrace, time stands still,
  A delicious longing, an unspoken thrill.

  The world fades away, just we two,
  In the depths of affection, pure and true.
  With tenderness, I cherish each sigh,
  In the sacred space where our spirits fly.

  In the tapestry of love, we intertwine,
  A feast of hearts, your essence divine.
  In the quiet moments, passion’s sweet rush,
  I yearn for you deeply, in the hush.

  So let us explore this vibrant dance,
  In the rhythm of love, we take our chance.
  For in every heartbeat, our desires play,
  In the garden of love, forever we’ll stay.

• You Excite Me

  : 4

  In the hush of twilight’s glow,
  Where shadows dance and soft winds blow,
  A longing stirs, a wild desire,
  A heart ignites, a blazing fire.

  With every glance, a silent call,
  A whisper sweet, an ardent thrall,
  To savor depths where passions meet,
  To taste the nectar, rich and sweet.

  Her laughter sings, a siren’s tune,
  Beneath the watchful, silver moon,
  In tangled dreams, where shadows play,
  I crave the night, I yearn to sway.

  To lose ourselves in fervent bliss,
  In tender moments, a stolen kiss,
  To explore the realms where secrets lie,
  In every sigh, in every sigh.

  Let time dissolve, let worries fade,
  In this embrace, let fantasies wade,
  For in her essence, I find my home,
  With every touch, no longer alone.

  So let the world around us fade,
  In this wild dance, a sweet cascade,
  For in this union, I seek to find,
  The taste of love, both fierce and kind.

• Puppy Pandemonium

  : 4

  Eight tiny tornadoes with wiggling tails,
  Tumbling and bumbling down garden trails,
  Fuzzy little furballs with button-bright eyes,
  Chasing their shadows to everyone’s surprise!

  One little rascal steals Mom’s favorite shoe,
  Another gets tangled in yarn, oh boo-hoo!
  Three are playing tug-of-war with a sock,
  While two more are barking at the tick-tock clock.

  Puppy number six thinks his tail is a toy,
  Spinning in circles with absolute joy,
  Seven discovers the joy of the hose,
  Getting soaked from his tail to his nose!

  The littlest one tries to howl like the big dogs,
  But sounds more like squeaky door or croaking frogs,
  They stumble on ears that are three times too big,
  And wiggle their bottoms in a happy jig.

  Naptime arrives like a magical spell,
  In one cozy puppy pile they all dwell,
  Eight sleepy angels with milk on their chins,
  Tomorrow’s adventure is where fun begins!

  With dreams full of tennis balls, treats, and play,
  These bundles of sunshine brighten each day,
  Pure puppy magic in furry disguise,
  Love multiplied by eight—what a wonderful prize!

• Beneath the Full Moon’s Silver Veil

  : 4

  In the hush of night, where shadows play,
  She stands beneath the full moon’s gaze,
  A vision of grace in lunar light,
  Her beauty blooming like stars in flight.

  Her eyes, twin mirrors of the endless sky,
  Catch the moon’s glow, a soft, ethereal sigh.
  Silken hair dances in the breeze’s kiss,
  A tapestry woven of midnight bliss.

  Oh, what wonder in her radiant form,
  Under that orb, so ancient and warm.
  She outshines the heavens, a earthly delight,
  A masterpiece carved from the heart of night.

  You are the bright beacon, my entire world.
  With every heartbeat, a universe unfolds,
  In your gaze, I find warmth that never grows old.

  every constellation charts your form,
  each star a verse in your endless name.

  Centuries pass like a breath in space,

• Bannon’s Echo

  : 5

  Beneath a sun-bleached sky, the old bones lie—
  dust weaves through splintered doors, a hollow sigh.
  The saloon’s cracked glass hums a rusted tune,
  as shadows waltz where gold once burned the moon.

  A creaking sign still croaks the vanished name,
  while sagebrush claims the hearths that lost their flame.
  The mine’s black throat whispers what time untold—
  of pickaxe dreams that turned to phantom’s gold.

  Now dusk unspools the ghosts in cobalt light,
  their laughter etched in stars that pierce the night.
  The wind through rafters chants what stays unsaid:
  “We built our empires, then became the dead.”

  But Bannon breathes in every sun-scorched stone—
  a tomb, a testament, where silence owns
  the weight of thirst, the rush of fleeting ore…
  The earth remembers what we’re yearning for.

• Ghosts of Nevada City

  : 1

  In the heart of the Sierra, where the pines touch the sky,
  Lies a town of lost whispers, where memories sigh.
  Nevada City, once bustling, with gold in the streams,
  Now a ghost town of stories, a cradle of dreams.

  The echoes of laughter still dance through the air,
  In the saloons and the streets, where the brave laid their flair.
  Horses trotted on cobblestones, miners’ hopes high,
  Now the dust settles softly, as the sun bids goodbye.

  The old wooden houses, with shutters askew,
  Stand silent and stoic, as if waiting for you.
  Their walls hold the secrets of fortunes and fate,
  Of lovers and outlaws, of joy and of hate.

  The wind carries whispers of legends long past,
  Of the rush for the riches, of a time that flew fast.
  The spirits still wander, in twilight’s soft glow,
  Through the ruins and shadows, where the wildflowers grow.

  By the creek, you can hear the faint clink of a pan,
  As a ghostly prospector dreams of his plan.
  With a heart full of hope and a shovel in hand,
  He searches for fortune in this once-thriving land.

  So if you should wander through Nevada’s embrace,
  Pause for a moment, let the stillness take place.
  For in each weathered timber, each stone, and each sigh,
  Lies the pulse of a town where the past won’t die.

  In the golden light fading, let your spirit be free,
  For Nevada City holds more than just history.
  It’s a tapestry woven with life’s every thread,
  A ghost town of whispers, where the living and dead.

• Whispers of Virginia City

  : 2

  Beneath Montana’s endless sky,
  the wind combs through the splintered frames,
  where silver veins once lured the bold—
  now dust claims each forgotten name.

  The saloon door creaks a hollow tune,
  a piano’s ghost hums rusted keys,
  while shadows kneel where miners crouched
  to sift the earth for fickle keys.

  Boot prints linger on warped boardwalks,
  sun-faded signs still boast their lies,
  and nightfall drapes the empty streets
  in stars that mirror dead fireflies.

  The mountains guard what time erodes—
  each crack, each echo, every scar.
  A town’s last breath is never gone…
  just borrowed by the twilight’s ear.

• Under the Stars in Zion

  : 2

  In Zion’s embrace, where the wild rivers flow,
  With my sexy girl, we set out to roam,
  The canyons are calling, their red rocks aglow,
  Hand in hand, it feels just like home.

  We hike through the trails, where the wildflowers sway,
  Her laughter a melody, brightening the day.
  With each step we take, our spirits take flight,
  In this magical place, everything feels right.

  As the sun starts to dip, painting skies in gold,
  We find a soft spot where the night unfolds,
  With stars up above, like diamonds on black,
  We steal a sweet kiss, no reason to hold back.

  The Milky Way dances, a celestial show,
  In the whispering winds, our secrets will flow.
  With the cliffs as our backdrop, the world fades away,
  Just my sexy girl and the dreams we will sway.

  So here in Zion, where the heartbeats align,
  Each kiss under stars feels like pure, sweet divine.
  With the mountains as witnesses, the night ever bright,
  In this wild, wondrous place, everything feels right.

  Your eyes hold depths like evening skies,
  Where starlight dances, never dies—
  Each glance a whisper, soft and true,
  In chocolate brown or ocean blue.

  Your lips, like roses kissed by dawn,
  Draw me to moments never gone—
  That crimson curve, that gentle smile,
  Makes every heartbeat seem worthwhile.

  Your skin like silk beneath my touch,
  So warm, so soft—I love so much
  The way you feel, the way you are,
  My closest dream, my brightest star.

  In every look and every kiss,
  I find my joy, I find my bliss—
  For beauty lives not just in sight,
  But in the love that feels so right.

  A melody woven with the joy that springs,
  From quiet moments, hand in hand,
  In the garden of love, where we both stand.

  With every shared glance, a story unfolds,
  In the warmth of your smile, my heart gently molds.

  In the grand chessboard of life, my love,
  We move through shadows, piece by piece,
  Your heart, my king, in peril’s sweet dance,
  Each calculated step a whispered plea.

  Our hearts entwined, victorious and clear,
  In this endless play, I’ve found my place.

  Oh, my beloved, on this vast chessboard of life’s relentless storm,

• Intertwined

  : 3

  Your fingers find mine in the space between heartbeats,
  a silent conversation written in touch—
  palm against palm, a perfect geography
  I want to memorize with my skin.

  There’s electricity in the way you lace
  our hands together, thumb brushing thumb,
  as if you’re saying what words stumble over:
  I choose you, I choose you, I choose you.

  In crowded rooms, your hand becomes my anchor,
  steady pressure that whispers I’m here
  while the world blurs at its edges.
  Nothing else matters but this connection.

  I study the map of your knuckles,
  the gentle valleys between your fingers
  where mine settle like they were carved
  specifically for this constellation.

  Sometimes I catch myself staring
  at our joined hands resting on the table,
  overwhelmed by the simple miracle—
  that you want to hold onto me too.

  Your pulse drums against my wrist,
  a rhythm I want to learn by heart,
  this tender claiming, this gentle binding
  that makes me feel completely, finally home.

  Even when we sleep, fingers entwined,
  I dream in the language of your touch—
  knowing that tomorrow I’ll reach for you again,
  hungry for this perfect, simple symphony.

• Whispers of Desire

  : 3

  In the hush of a summer night,
  Beneath a streetlamp’s golden glow,
  Our bodies draw like flames to shadow,
  Pulses racing, hearts laid bare.

  Lips brush soft, a teasing taste,
  Sweet as stolen fruit, ripe and warm.
  Noses graze in playful dance,
  Awakening a firestorm.

  Breath mingles, electric and wild,
  A flush of heat, a sigh undone,
  In that fleeting, fevered touch,
  Desire blooms beneath the sun.

• Wanderlust’s Embrace

  : 4

  Beneath celestial tides, we drift—
  your laughter, a comet stitching the sky.
  Each road bends like a whispered secret,
  your hand the compass I trust.

  Salt-kissed shores trace our shadows long,
  horizons blush where your gaze begins.
  We name constellations after fleeting towns—
  Rio, Kyoto, Marrakech—each syllable a hymn.

  Through emerald forests, your voice hums maps,
  moss clings to time as we lose the trail.
  Mountains bow to your stubborn stride,
  their snows melting into our shared tale.

  No atlas holds what we’ve etched in wind—
  the ache of deserts, cities dissolved to dawn.
  Love, not a destination, but the miles spun,
  two restless souls where the earth still yawns.

• The Great Vacation Raincheck

  : 5

  I packed my bags with dreams so bright,
  A sunny trip, a pure delight,
  Sunhat, shades, and flip-flops too—
  Ready for the sky so blue.

  The morning dawned with promise clear,
  My travel plans, the perfect gear,
  Then suddenly, the skies turned grey—
  “Uh-oh,” I thought, “It’s showtime, rain!”

  The beach? More like a muddy slip,
  Sandcastle plans? They took a trip,
  My umbrella flipped and flopped,
  My hair, a soggy mop, nonstop.

  The boat? Sailed away in a splash,
  The picnic? Now just a soggy crash,
  All the sightseeing, damp and drab,
  My vacation’s wet and kinda drab.

  But hey, at least I didn’t drown,
  And I found humor in the frown,
  Who needs sunshine, shiny and bright,
  When laughter’s free and wrongs feel right?

  So here’s to rain on vacation days,
  To soggy socks and cloudy haze,
  Because sometimes, when plans go awry,
  The best adventure’s a soggy pie!

• A Day with a Mysterious Beauty

  : 4

  Oh, what fun to spend a day with her grace,
  A beautiful lady with a witty face!
  No need for drama or a red-carpet scene,
  She’s got charm in spades, or so it would seem.

  We’ll chat about stars and secrets untold,
  Or dance through the park, bold and uncontrolled.
  She won’t spill your coffee or forget your name,
  But might vanish in laughter, leaving you in the game.

  Imagine a stroll—her as your delight,
  With a smile that sparkles in the soft moonlight.
  “No flaws to confess,” she’d tease with a wink,
  While you trip over words, trying not to blink.

  So let’s dream up adventures in this playful tale,
  With a beautiful lady who never grows stale.
  Spending time with her? A whimsical bliss,
  Who needs reality when fantasy’s like this?

  Oh, dear Mom, it’s me, Brody, your little fur ball,
  With my long body and ears that flop, I’m here to enthral!
  I’m your dachshund sidekick, always by your side,
  Chasing squirrels and dreams, with you as my guide.

  You feed me my treats and scratch my itchy spots,
  Take me on adventures in the park’s twisty plots.
  When I’m feeling blue or my tail won’t wag high,
  Your hugs and your laughter make the world feel right.

  You’re the queen of our home, with a heart so grand,
  Turning ordinary days into a magical land.
  From belly rubs to bedtime snuggles so tight,
  I’m the luckiest pup, ’cause you’re my light.

  So, on this Mother’s Day, I bark with pure joy,
  For the best mom ever—my favorite girl!
  Thank you for loving me, tail to nose,

• Echoes of Grafton

  : 7

  Beneath the cottonwoods’ skeletal sigh,
  adobe walls cradle the ache of the sky.
  A cradle once rocked where the Virgin River runs thin—
  now dust claims the hymns where a schoolhouse stood in.

  Windows, gap-toothed, howl hymns unsung,
  their shattered psalms cling to ropes long unstrung.
  Footprints linger in mud turned to stone,
  names etched in whispers on a grave’s sun-bleached bone.

  The orchards grow wild with the weight of the years,
  their roots claw the earth, drinking saltwater tears.
  At dusk, shadows stitch through the sagebrush and thorn—
  the ghost of a plowman still calling the dawn.

  The mesa keeps vigil, its sandstone lips sealed,
  holding secrets the floodwaters never revealed.
  Moonlight sifts soft through the rafters’ decay—
  Grafton’s bones breathe, but the living stay away.

• Heaven’s Acre

  : 7

  In the gentle dawn when dew still clings,
  We rise as one, while the rooster sings.
  With Jesus in our hearts, we start the day,
  Bowing heads together, we quietly pray.

  Lord, bless this land You’ve placed in our care,
  This modest farm with treasures rare.
  Not measured in gold, but in roots deep and true,
  In family bonds strengthened by You.

  Our children laugh among the rustling corn,
  Their faith as fresh as each new morn.
  They learn Your ways through soil and seed,
  Through honest work and tending those in need.

  The table we gather ’round each night
  Holds simple food in fading light.
  But Christ sits with us, breaking bread,
  Our souls and bodies both are fed.

  When troubles come like summer storms,
  Your presence, Lord, our house transforms.
  This little farm becomes our ark,
  Your light our guide when days grow dark.

  The seasons change, the years roll by,
  Under Your watchful, loving eye.
  Our children grow like saplings strong,
  Rooted in faith their whole life long.

  This humble patch of heaven’s earth
  Reminds us daily of our worth.
  Not what we own or what we reap,
  But how in Your commandments we keep.

  So grant us, Lord, the grace to be
  A farming family on bended knee.
  Living each day by Your design,
  Making this simple life divine.

  His eyes, a mirror of wisdom and grace,
  Reflecting the love that time cannot erase.
  He’s taught me to stand, to be the man I am,
  With courage and kindness, as part of his plan.

  Beside him, Aunt Judy, a gentle soul’s glow,
  Their love, a river, steady and slow.
  A dance of devotion, through life’s ebb and flow,
  A testament to what true love can bestow.

  Their hands intertwined, a symbol so pure,
  Of a bond that’s steadfast, strong, and sure.
  In their laughter and tears, their joys and their strife,
  I see the blueprint of a loving life.

  Uncle Billy and Aunt Judy, my guiding light,
  In their love, I find my heart’s delight.
  Their legacy of love, a beacon so bright,
  Inspiring me to seek my own love’s flight.

  So here’s to you, my dear Uncle and Aunt,
  For the love you’ve shown, no words can enchant.
  You’ve shaped my dreams, my hopes, my way,
  Thank you, for being my north star each day.

• Heaven’s Acre

  : 4

  In the gentle dawn when dew still clings,
  We rise as one, while the rooster sings.
  With Jesus in our hearts, we start the day,
  Bowing heads together, we quietly pray.

  Lord, bless this land You’ve placed in our care,
  This modest farm with treasures rare.
  Not measured in gold, but in roots deep and true,
  In family bonds strengthened by You.

  Our children laugh among the rustling corn,
  Their faith as fresh as each new morn.
  They learn Your ways through soil and seed,
  Through honest work and tending those in need.

  The table we gather ’round each night
  Holds simple food in fading light.
  But Christ sits with us, breaking bread,
  Our souls and bodies both are fed.

  When troubles come like summer storms,
  Your presence, Lord, our house transforms.
  This little farm becomes our ark,
  Your light our guide when days grow dark.

  The seasons change, the years roll by,
  Under Your watchful, loving eye.
  Our children grow like saplings strong,
  Rooted in faith their whole life long.

  This humble patch of heaven’s earth
  Reminds us daily of our worth.
  Not what we own or what we reap,
  But how in Your commandments we keep.

  So grant us, Lord, the grace to be
  A farming family on bended knee.
  Living each day by Your design,
  Making this simple life divine.

  And banish shadows, fill the room.

  So raise a glass, let laughter ring,
  For all the joy your spirit brings!
  Happy Birthday, Will, may you see,
  A year of wonder, wild and free!

• Eternal Embrace

  : 5

  In whispers of dawn, His mercy unfolds,
  A tapestry woven in hues of gold.
  Through valleys and storms, His hands hold the light,
  Unfailing, unending—love’s compass by night.

  Each breath is a hymn, each heartbeat His grace,
  He paints hope in shadows, where doubt dare not trace.
  The stars sing His promise, the tides chart His name,
  In every scar’s story, His whispers proclaim:

  “I carved you from wonder, from oceans untamed,
  Through fractures and fire, My covenant remained.
  The bread of My presence, the wine of My vow—
  No depth can eclipse how I cherish you now.”

  He bends with the broken, revives fading dreams,
  Turns deserts to rivers, and silence to streams.
  His mercy, a downpour; His peace, the refrain—
  A symphony born where our sorrows once raged.

  So rise on wings anchored in heavens above,
  For God is the poet who authors our love.
  Each dawn, every heartbeat, His blessings still pour—
  A lifetime’s refrain: You are Mine evermore.

• The Loss

  : 7

  
  In the quiet of the evening, where shadows softly fall,
  There’s a space that feels so empty, an echo in the hall.
  Ernie, with your wagging tail, your gentle, soothing eyes,
  You’ve left a hole within our hearts, a love that never dies.

  
  With paws that danced through morning dew, you chased the golden sun,
  Through fields of joy and laughter, each day a new adventure spun.
  You’d greet us with your boundless joy, a bark, a playful leap,
  Now silence fills the corners where once your spirit leaped.

  
  The leash hangs by the doorway, untouched and neatly coiled,
  No more the sound of pattering paws, no more the earth unsoiled.
  We gather all your memories, each snuggle, each sweet sigh,
  And in the warmth of those we’ve shared, we let our teardrops dry.

  
  For love like yours, so pure and true, can never fade away,
  Though time may dim the edges, in our hearts you’ll always stay.
  Ernie, sweet companion, you taught us how to love,
  And as we look to the starlit sky, we know you’re up above.

  
  So here’s to you, dear friend of mine, in every whispered prayer,
  You brought us joy, you brought us peace, a bond beyond compare.
  Though the days will feel a little less, your spirit will remain,
  In every cherished memory, through laughter and through pain.

• Strength of Love

  : 15

  In the heart of the countryside, where the wildflowers bloom,
  Our love stands strong, like the oak tree in June.
  Through the rolling hills and the valleys so deep,
  Our bond is unbreakable, a promise we keep.

  When the storms of life come, and the winds fiercely blow,
  Our love is the anchor, steady and slow.
  It’s the warmth of the sun on a cold winter’s day,
  The strength that will guide us, come what may.

  Through the trials and struggles, we’ll face them as one,
  With love as our compass, we’ll never be undone.
  Hand in hand, we’ll walk through the fire,
  Our love will keep us together, our hearts never tire.

  In the quiet of the night, under the starlit sky,
  We’ll find solace in each other, you and I.
  For no matter the challenge, no matter the cost,
  Our love will prevail, it’s the one thing we’ve got.

  So here’s to our love, as strong as the land,
  It will carry us through, with its gentle hand.
  Together we’ll stand, through thick and through thin,
  For our love will keep us together, it always wins.

• Strawberry Field

  : 9

  In the golden light of early morn,
  I wander through fields where strawberries are born.
  Rows of green stretch far and wide,
  A sea of leaves where sweet treasures hide.

  Bending low, I part the leaves so lush,
  Revealing ruby gems in a gentle hush.
  Each strawberry, a sun-kissed delight,
  Their fragrance rising, pure and bright.

  With careful fingers, I pluck them free,
  Their ripeness bursting, a joy to see.
  Some are plump, some small and neat,
  Each one a treat, a summer’s sweet.

  The warmth of the sun on my back I feel,
  As I gather my bounty, my heart full and real.
  In these fields of strawberry dreams,
  I find a peace that forever gleams.

  So here I’ll stay, till the day grows late,
  Picking strawberries, embracing fate.
  In nature’s embrace, I find my thrill,
  In the simple act of picking, time stands still.

  In shadows, hope’s soft chorus sings.
  The bread of peace, the cup poured deep,

  No night too vast, no road too long,
  His mercy bends to mend the wrong.
  The laugh of joy, the strength to rise,
  Are treasures woven through our skies.

  So bend the knee, lift heart and voice—
  In every blade, His name’s rejoice.
  For blessings bloom where faith is sown,
  And Heaven’s love calls all you’re known.

  The old live oaks, with Spanish moss,
  Whisper secrets, as we cross.

  Hand in hand, we wander slow,
  Through historic streets, where tales bestow.
  The harbor glistens, a serene sight,
  As we embrace the soft twilight.

  Her laughter mingles with the breeze,
  As we pause under ancient trees.
  The scent of salt, the river’s flow,
  All blend in moments we’ll never let go.

  In this quaint town, where time stands still,
  We find our peace, atop a hill.
  With my beautiful lady by my side,
  In Georgetown, love and joy collide.

  Jesus, the beacon of love, our guide.
  With gentle whispers, He calls our name,
  Inviting us to live without blame.

  He walks with us through valleys deep,
  Promising His presence, our souls to keep.
  In every moment, in joy and strife,
  He teaches us the essence of life.

  “Love one another,” He softly implores,
  “As I have loved you, open your doors.
  Let kindness and compassion be your creed,
  In every action, in every deed.”

  For God’s love is boundless, pure, and true,
  A reflection of what we’re called to do.
  To see the divine in each other’s eyes,
  To embrace the world with love that never dies.

  So let us walk in His light, hand in hand,
  Spreading His message across the land.
  For Jesus in our lives is a sacred grace,
  Guiding us to love in every place.

• Incoming Storm

  : 5

  In the heart of night, the sky ignites,
  A symphony of shadows, a dance of lights.
  Clouds gather close, in a brooding embrace,
  Whispers of thunder, the storm’s fierce grace.

  A growl from the heavens, low and profound,
  The air thick with tension, a tremor of sound.
  Lightning, a serpent, strikes with a flare,
  Illuminating darkness, electrifying the air.

  The wind howls fiercely, a wild serenade,
  Trees bend and sway, in Nature’s parade.
  Raindrops descend, like a rhythmic drum,
  Pulsing and crashing, a wild, watery thrum.

  Each flash a painter, bold strokes of white,
  Sketching the chaos, igniting the night.
  In the tempest’s embrace, both fear and delight,
  Nature’s raw power, a breathtaking sight.

  As the storm rages on, the world feels alive,
  In the throes of the tempest, we tremble, we thrive.
  And when it recedes, with a soft, gentle sigh,
  The calm after chaos, beneath a clear sky.

  So let the thunder roll, let the lightning strike,
  In this wild, fierce ballet, we find what we like.
  For in every storm, there’s a beauty untold,
  A reminder of wonders, fierce, brave, and bold.

  In twilight’s hush, where shadows play,
  Amidst the blooms, a queen holds sway,
  The white rose, pure and fair to see,
  A vision of loveliness, for you and me.

  Her petals soft, like silk to touch,
  Unfurl to reveal a gentle clutch,
  A delicate dance, of subtle might,
  A whispered promise, of peaceful night.

  In myth and legend, her tale is told,
  Of innocence, of love that’s bold,
  A symbol too, of reverence and respect,
  A tribute paid, to hearts that inspect.

  Her beauty is not just to behold,
  But a reminder, of stories untold,
  Of love and loss, of joy and strife,
  A poignant reminder, of the fragility of life.

  Yet, even in death, her beauty reigns,
  For in her fleeting life, we find the stains,
  Of memories that linger, long after she’s gone,
  A bittersweet reminder, of love that’s been sung.

  Oh, white rose, queen of the garden fair,
  Forever in our hearts, your beauty will be there,
  A symbol of hope, of love that’s true,
  A gentle reminder, of the beauty that shines through.

  My wife’s hand in mine, a gentle squeeze,
  Her smile as bright as the summer breeze.
  Our dog, tail wagging, sniffs the festive air,
  Bounding with joy, without a single care.

  Booths line the path, colors bold and bright,
  Crafts and treats, a delightful sight.
  We pause for a moment, share a sweet,

  Children run past, their faces full of glee,
  Kites soar above, dancing wild and free.

  As the sun dips low, casting golden hues,
  We find a quiet spot, just us to muse.
  Reflecting on the day, the joy we’ve shared,
  Grateful for this life, and the love we’ve spared.

  : 8

  In morning’s hush, where sunlight spills,
  He walks the edges of your breath—
  Each heartbeat hums a hymn He wills,
  A quiet grace that conquers death.

  When chores weigh light as scattered dust,
  And laughter threads through cups of tea,
  His fingerprints adorn your trust,
  A love that bends to touch the flea.

  The bread you break, the door held wide,
  The tear you wipe, the seed you sow—
  He kneels, a gardener at your side,
  Where every shadow learns to glow.

  No step too small, no sigh unseen,
  He maps the stars beneath your feet.
  The thread that stitches lone to keen?
  His hands, still scarred, yours to meet.

  So when the world feels frayed, undone,
  Remember how the lilies stand—
  Not one falls without the Son,
  Who holds the sea, yet cups your hand.

• Puppy’s life

  : 8

  In the dawn of spring, with laughter bright,
  We welcomed a puppy, a bundle of light.
  With wagging tail and eyes like the stars,
  He filled our home, our hearts, and our scars.

  We taught him to sit, to stay, and to play,
  In the golden glow of each sunlit day.
  Through fields we would wander, in rain and in shine,
  With every adventure, our lives intertwined.

  He chased after shadows, he danced with the breeze,
  In the garden, he’d frolic, among the tall trees.
  His bark was our music, his joy our delight,
  In the warmth of our love, everything felt right.

  But seasons turned swiftly, as seasons will do,
  The years painted silver in his fur of brown hue.
  He slowed in his steps, his playful spirit dimmed,
  Yet still in our hearts, his light never trimmed.

  Then one fateful evening, a stumble, a fall,
  A whimper, a cry, and we felt it all.
  With trembling hands, we rushed to his side,
  In that moment, we knew, we could not hide.

  The vet spoke in whispers, the news cutting deep,
  Our hearts shattered softly, like dreams lost in sleep.
  We gathered together, with tears freely shed,
  In the silence of loss, where love felt like lead.

  Through the years, we had shared his laughter and tears,
  Now we clung to the memories, the joy mixed with fears.
  His collar, a token, his toys laid to rest,
  In the silence that lingered, we felt so bereft.

  Yet in every heartbeat, in the love that we shared,
  He lives on forever, in the moments we dared.
  Though the pain of his absence will echo and swell,
  In our hearts, dear old friend, you’ll always dwell.

  So we gather each spring, in the garden once more,
  With flowers and memories, we open the door.
  To the love that we fostered, the life that we gave,
  In the heart of our home, you’ll always be brave.

  bright against the ordinary.
  In your gaze, the world grows still,
  a hymn where doubt cannot linger.

  Morning’s coffee, twilight’s walk,
  your voice the thread that braids the hours.
  You turn the mundane into grace—
  a quiet storm of golden power.

  Not just for grand or borrowed joys,
  but how you steady breath by breath:
  the anchor when the tempests rise,
  the hearth that mends what time has stressed.

  So take this verse, imperfect, small—

  With you, life blooms relentless, wild,
  and every “now” outshines the past.

  For the love that we share, the love that we’ve not yet forget.
  I promise to always cherish and adore,
  The beauty that you are, the love that we explore.

  Two worlds that were separate collide.
  A trembling hand finds yours,
  Time suspends in amber light.

  Eyes meeting, asking questions
  Words could never frame just right.
  The slow lean in, breath catching—
  A universe condensed to candlelight.

  When lips finally touch, so softly,
  Like whispers trading secrets in the dark,
  There blooms a quiet revelation:
  This is how new stories start.

  Not fireworks, but something deeper—
  A current running warm and true.
  In that first hesitant meeting,
  The world remakes itself anew.

  I carry it still, that moment,
  When everything shifted into place.
  The kiss that wasn’t just a kiss,
  But the first light of grace.

• Elegy for a Faithful Friend

  : 7

  In the spring of our years, a ball of fluff arrived—
  a whirlwind of paws and eyes like dawn’s first light.
  We named him “Joy,” for that’s what he became:
  a thread that stitched two hearts so tight.

  Through summers, he bounded in fields of gold,
  a blur of fur, chasing the wind’s soft song.
  Your laughter, love, his bark entwined—
  a trio where all three belonged.

  Autumn brought frost to his muzzle, a slow retreat,
  his steps now measured, his leaps less high.
  We traced his path with softer tread,
  as twilight tinged the western sky.

  Then winter’s night—a stumble, a cry.
  His leg gave way; the vet spoke low.
  We nursed him close, our hands his crutch,
  while time seeped silent, like melting snow.

  The final breath, a weight against your chest,
  his gaze still steady, though his frame grew small.
  One last sigh, a trust unbroken—
  and then the quiet filled the hall.

  Now empty bowls, a leash unused,
  his shadow lingers in every room.
  We grieve in turns, yet hold each other,
  tending love that outlives the tomb.

  Some say, “Just a dog,” but they’ll never know
  how a creature so brief could etch the soul so deep.
  In the ache, we find the shape of what we loved—
  a bond not drowned in tears, but kept.

  Time has etched its stories on our skin,
  Yet love grows deeper than where we begin.

  Hand in hand on weathered porch swings,
  We watch as evening gently brings
  The sunset’s canvas, bold and bright—
  Our faithful friend, day after night.

  Remember when we’d race the sun?
  Now we savor till day is done.
  The wrinkles round your smiling eyes
  Hold memories beneath these skies.

  A thousand sunsets we have shared,
  Through seasons passed and moments spared.
  Each golden hour more precious now,
  As time moves on, though I know not how.

  The sun may set on distant shores,
  But what we’ve built forever soars.
  In fading light, your hand in mine—
  Two hearts that age like vintage wine.

  So let us watch the day’s descent,
  In quiet, beautiful content.
  For growing old with you, my dear,
  Makes every sunset more sincere.

• Echoes of a Faithful Friend

  : 16

  When first you bounded, dawn’s breath in your fur,
  a whirlwind of paws, a heartbeat unbound,
  you traced my steps with mischief and purr,
  a symphony of barks, my world’s new sound.

  Years wove your muzzle to frost’s gentle hue,
  your leaps softened to steps by my worn chair.
  Yet still, your gaze held skies of endless blue—
  a lighthouse steady through storms of despair.

  Then silence crept where panting once replied,
  your bed a hollow where moonlight now grieves.
  I trace the trails where our shadows once glide,
  and find your ghost in autumn’s falling leaves.

  But when the wind hums our old, secret tune,
  I feel your nudge—a love no dusk can undo.

• Under the Burden

  : 6

  In the quiet hours when shadows creep,
  I sit alone, lost in thoughts so deep,
  Bills like mountains, stacked high with dread,
  Each envelope a whisper of worries unsaid.

  The glow of the moon casts a silver hue,
  Yet all I feel is a weight that’s true,
  Each number a reminder, each date a chain,
  Binding my spirit in a cycle of strain.

  I watch the clock as the minutes crawl,
  Wondering if I’ll find strength to stand tall,
  But the nights grow longer, the silence loud,
  And I fear I’m slipping, lost in the crowd.

  What if I falter? What if I fail?
  The burden of hope feels like a frail sail,
  I carry my family, their dreams on my back,
  Yet each step I take feels like I’m losing track.

  They count on my courage, my heart to be bold,
  But beneath the surface, the pressure takes hold,
  I’m drowning in numbers, in worries and fears,
  The weight of my love mixed with silent tears.

  Yet in the stillness, a flicker remains,
  A spark of resilience that fights through the chains,
  I gather my strength, though I tremble and sway,
  For love is a compass that guides me each day.

  So though I feel alone in this daunting fight,
  I’ll rise from the shadows, I’ll seek out the light,
  For family is more than the bills that I face,
  It’s the love that we share, it’s our sacred space.

  In the forests of South Carolina, so lush and green,
  We wander hand in hand, a wondrous scene.
  With every step, our laughter fills the air,
  Enjoying life, without a single care.

  The pines whisper secrets, the birds sing along,
  As we dance to the rhythm of nature’s song.
  Through the trails we journey, hearts light and free,
  Savoring moments, just you and me.

  We chase the sunlight, dappled and bright,
  Finding joy in the simplest of sights.
  A butterfly flutters, a deer bounds away,
  In this paradise, we choose to stay.

  By the river’s edge, we sit and dine,
  On berries and dreams, and sweet sunshine.
  The world could rush, but we’ll take our time,
  Living our story, line by line.

  In the forests of South Carolina, our love does grow,
  As we embrace the journey, wherever it may go.
  With you by my side, every day’s a delight,
  Enjoying life’s magic, from morning till night.

  In the quiet dawn, a whisper stirs,
  A gentle call through the rustling furs.
  God’s hand reaches down, with love profound,
  In every heartbeat, His grace abounds.

  Fields of plenty, skies so wide,
  He beckons softly, “Come, abide.
  In troubled times, when shadows loom,
  I offer solace, I bring the bloom.”

  From mountain peaks to valleys low,
  His blessings flow like rivers’ glow.
  Each sunrise paints a sacred hue,
  A promise whispered, ever true.

  “Return to me,” the heavens plead,
  In every heart, let love take seed.
  For in our unity, His light will shine,
  Reviving spirits with love divine.

  Oh, land we cherish, once so bright,
  Let’s turn our gaze, seek His light.
  In prayer and action, let’s unite,
  To guide our country toward what’s right.

  He longs to dwell in each embrace,
  To weave our lives in boundless grace.
  With open hearts, let’s heed the call,
  For in His arms, we’ll never fall.

  So let us gather, hand in hand,
  To sow His love across the land.
  With faith renewed, let’s rise and sing,
  In every moment, let His blessings spring.

• To My Eternal Love

  : 11

  Beneath the moon’s soft, silver gaze,
  I carve my soul in hymns of praise—
  For you, my north star, storm’s calm eye,
  The dawn that paints my midnight sky.

  Your laughter—spring’s first bloom, unbound—
  A symphony in silent sound.
  Each breath you take, a sacred verse,
  My universe within your universe.

  I give the pulse that veins my wrist,
  The quiet fire no sun has kissed.
  Take every breath my lungs have known,
  For in your grace, I am reborn.

  Through tempests where the world grew small,
  Your name became my safest call.
  No shadow dares to claim this light—
  You are my day, my deepest night.

  Let seasons fold like ancient scrolls,
  Yet time bends where our story rolls.
  Here, take my heart—its rhythm’s core—
  A bridge to shores where love outruns the shore.

  My soul, now yours, no chains, no keys,
  Drifts where your whisper parts the seas.
  Forever’s pulse beats in your name:
  My endless flame, my constant claim.

  For every step your feet may tread,
  I’ll be the ground, the sky widespread.
  Your scars, your joys—my temple’s creed,
  In life, in death, in every need.

  So claim this heart, unbound and true,
  For all I am is born of you.
  My wife, my world, my endless start—
  You hold the atlas of my heart.

• Ode to the Flames’ Foe

  : 13

  Beneath the Southern pines, where embers roared,
  You stood where shadows fled and wildfires soared—
  Guardians with hearts ablaze, not born of flame,
  But courage etched in ash, yet no soul to tame.

  Through smoke-choked skies, your resolve burned bright,
  A symphony of sirens piercing the night.
  Hands clasped in purpose, strangers turned kin,
  A tapestry of hope woven through wind.

  You dug the trenches where fear dared not tread,
  Carried the weary, the wild, the fled—
  Each drop from the heavens, each weary command,
  A lifeline stitched by an unwavering hand.

  When forests wept and the earth sighed char,
  You planted tomorrow beneath each scar.
  For every spark subdued, a story retold:
  Of strength that rises when the mountains grow old.

  So here’s to the dawn after the blaze,
  To hands that heal what chaos erases—
  South Carolina’s soil remembers your name,
  Heroes not forged in fire, but baptized by flame.

  With gratitude deeper than roots in the clay,
  We honor your light, which outshines the gray.
  For when the earth trembled, you answered, “We’ll stay.”
  And turned the darkest hours into break of day.

• Tending your Harvest

  In the quiet morning light, I tread,
  To the garden where my dreams are fed.
  With gentle hands and patient heart,
  I tend to my harvest, a work of art.

  Each seed I plant, a hope I sow,
  Nurtured by the sun’s warm glow.
  Water and care, day by day,
  Watching as my efforts pay.

  The sprouts emerge, timid and small,
  Yet with time, they grow tall.
  Leaves unfurl, blossoms bloom,
  Filling the air with sweet perfume.

  I watch with joy, a tender pride,
  As my garden thrives, no longer hide.
  The fruits of labor, ripe and sweet,
  A testament to the care I meet.

  In this cycle of growth and yield,
  I find a peace, a boundless field.
  Tending to my own harvest true,
  I watch it grow, and my heart renews.

• Roswell NM

  : 12

  In a desert stretch where secrets lie,
  Two souls wandered ‘neath the endless sky,
  To Roswell’s heart, where whispers blend,
  With tales of spaceships and worlds that bend.

  She, an artist with dreams so vast,
  He, a writer with a curious past,
  They met by chance, a cosmic plan,
  In Roswell, where their journey began.

  Through streets imbued with mystic lore,
  They stepped inside the UFO Museum’s door,
  Alien faces in glassy frames,
  Sparked their wonder and fanned the flames.

  They marveled at the artifacts,
  The flying discs and the stranger facts,
  Stories of lights that danced at night,
  In a town where legends take their flight.

  Hand in hand, they roamed the halls,
  Where mysteries whispered from the walls,
  In each other’s eyes, they saw the gleam,
  Of shared adventure, a kindred dream.

  Beyond the exhibits, under twilight’s hue,
  They found the Crash Site, where myths accrue,
  In the barren land, they felt a pull,
  To the cosmic dance, so beautiful.

  They wandered to the Roswell Spacewalk,
  Neon lights and cosmic talk,
  A journey through the galaxy,
  In a town where dreams feel free.

  With every step, their bond grew tight,
  In Roswell’s magic, under alien light,
  Two hearts entwined, in wonder’s thrall,
  In a place where they felt they’d seen it all.

  By day, they explored the earthly ground,
  By night, they felt the stars surround,
  In Roswell, where their paths had crossed,
  They found each other and nothing was lost.

  For in the land of cosmic lore,
  They found a love worth searching for,
  Two souls who wandered, now stood still,
  In Roswell’s heart, their dreams fulfilled.

• West Grand Canyon

  : 10

  In the heart of the West Grand Canyon, bold and vast,
  Where ancient whispers of time forever last,
  My gorgeous wife by my side, hand in hand,
  We embarked on an adventure, grand and unplanned.

  The sky, a canvas of cerulean hue,
  With streaks of gold as morning broke through,
  Zip lining above the canyon’s maw,
  Nature’s grandeur left us in awe.

  Harnessed in gear, our spirits soared high,
  With each step closer, a thrilled, joyous sigh,
  The edge of the cliff, our daring leap,
  Into the canyon’s depths, so wide and deep.

  The world fell away, silence so sweet,
  As we zipped through the air, hearts at full beat,
  The wind in our hair, the sun on our face,
  Together we flew, embracing the chase.

  The red rocks below, a breathtaking sight,
  Carved by eons, kissed by the light,
  Eagles soared past in majestic flight,
  A symphony of freedom, pure and bright.

  We laughed and we shouted, our voices entwined,
  In this wild adventure, two souls combined,
  Her eyes sparkled with an untamed gleam,
  A moment eternal, a shared dream.

  Our love, a tether, strong and true,
  In that canyon’s embrace, it only grew,
  With every zip, every glide, every turn,
  A deeper passion, a fiercer burn.

  As we touched down, feet on solid ground,
  In each other’s arms, solace we found,
  The West Grand Canyon, a memory grand,
  Of a day spent soaring, hand in hand.

  In the echo of canyons, our laughter remained,
  A testament to the joy we had gained,
  My gorgeous wife, my partner, my friend,
  In life’s great adventure, until the end.

• Forgiveness Heals

  : 8

  In the quiet chambers of the heart,
  Where shadows linger, and echoes start,
  There lies a balm, a gentle grace,
  Forgiveness, in its tender embrace.

  It’s not a sprint, nor a fleeting thought,
  But a journey, patiently fought,
  To mend the fractures, soothe the pain,
  And let the sun shine through again.

  Like a river washing over stones,
  Smoothing edges, healing bones,
  Forgiveness flows, a gentle stream,
  Restoring hope, a waking dream.

  It frees the soul from heavy chains,
  Releases us from bitter strains,
  Allows us to breathe, to feel anew,
  To see the world with eyes of true.

  For in forgiving, we release,
  The burden that had brought us to our knees,
  And in that act, we find the power,
  To heal our hearts, to bloom our flower.

  So let us choose, with open arms,
  To forgive, to heal, to disarm,
  For in this choice, we find the key,
  To mend our souls, and set us free.

  Through South Carolina’s heart, alone.

  The woods breathe soft, a lullaby,
  As Spanish moss sways in the sky.
  The air is thick with stories told,

  The water’s skin, a mirrored sheen,
  Reflects the world in shades of green.

  A heron stands, a sentinel,
  Its gaze as deep as any spell.
  The bullfrog croaks, the cricket trills,
  The swamp is alive with unseen thrills.

  The scent of earth, of moss, of rain,
  A perfume wild, it stirs my brain.
  Each step I take, the land replies,
  With whispered tales and softened sighs.

  The woods are vast, the swamp is wide,
  Yet here, my soul finds peace inside.
  For in this wild, untamed embrace,

  Oh, the spirit of the soul, a radiant light,
  Soars on wings of hope, taking flight,
  In the depths of silence, it sings a song,
  A melody of courage, where we belong.

  With laughter that sparkles like stars above,
  And whispers of wisdom, the language of love,
  It weaves through time, both gentle and bold,
  A story of warmth that never grows old.

  In the heart’s tender chambers, compassion will bloom,
  A garden of kindness dispelling the gloom,
  While the soul, ever restless, seeks to explore,
  The wonders of existence, forevermore.

  Together they dance in a rhythm divine,
  Intertwined destinies, your spirit and mine,
  In the beauty of being, we find our way,
  A symphony of hearts that forever will play.

  So cherish the heart, let your spirit unfold,
  For within lies a beauty more precious than gold,
  In every heartbeat, in every soul’s sigh,
  A world of connection, reaching the sky.

  Where petals bloom and scents fill the air,
  There’s one that stands out, a wondrous sight,
  My wife, the loveliest, a true delight.

• She is the Universe

  : 6

  She walks in starlight, woven from the moon’s soft sigh,
  A symphony of seasons held within her eye—
  Spring’s blush, winter’s resolve, autumn’s amber flame,
  Summer’s fierce radiance in the whisper of her name.

  Her voice, a lullaby that tempests learn to keep,
  Rooted deep where ancient rivers carve their secrets steep.
  She bends but never splinters; in her scars, truth grows—
  A thousand stories etched where grace and grit compose.

  She paints the dawn in fingerprints of patience and resolve,
  An orchard of small kindnesses where sorrows dissolve.
  Her laughter spills like honey, her tears a salted sea,
  Each one a tide that molds the shores of what it means to be.

  A sculptor of tomorrows, she kneads the clay of hours,
  Plants galaxies in footsteps where others might see flowers.
  For she is both the wildfire and the hearth that guards the night—
  The paradox of tenderness and unrelenting light.

  So here’s to her, the architect of dreams we dare to breathe,
  The alchemist who turns our ache to amber, grief to sheen.
  No constellation holds the weight of all she’s yet to frame—
  For she is not just special. She’s the cosmos, spelled by name.

  : 9

  In quiet dawn, when light breaks free,
  I feel Your presence, God, in me.
  The whisper of the morning breeze,
  A gentle touch that brings me peace.

  You paint the skies with hues so bright,
  A canvas of Your love and light.
  Each blade of grass, each leaf on trees,
  Speaks of Your grace, my heart’s at ease.

  In times of want, when shadows creep,
  You hold my hand, my soul to keep.
  With every tear, a lesson learned,
  In every trial, Your love returned.

  You give me strength when I am weak,
  In silence, Lord, it’s You I seek.
  The food I eat, the air I breathe,
  In every gift, I see You weave.

  Through storms of doubt, through nights of fear,
  You are my comfort, always near.
  When paths are dark and dreams seem far,
  You shine a light, my guiding star.

  For every blessing, great or small,
  I lift my voice, I give my all.
  In gratitude, my heart will sing,
  For You, dear God, are everything.

  With open hands, I trust in You,
  In love and faith, I’ll follow true.
  For in Your arms, I find my need,
  In every moment, You are the seed.

• In Leavenworth

  : 8

  In Leavenworth, where the pine trees sigh,
  Beneath the Bavarian-painted sky,
  We wander through this alpine dream,
  Where love flows like a mountain stream.

  Hand in hand, we stroll the streets,
  Cobblestones beneath our feet,
  Chalets whisper tales of old,
  As our hearts with warmth unfold.

  The river’s song, a gentle hum,
  Echoes where the wildflowers come,
  To bloom around us, soft and bright,
  In this haven of pure delight.

  We laugh and dance through village squares,
  Our joy a melody that pairs,
  With the scent of pretzels, sweet and warm,
  And the cozy fires that keep us from harm.

  In twilight’s glow, the mountains stand,
  Guardians of this enchanted land,
  Their peaks kissed by the setting sun,
  As we embrace, our souls as one.

  Stars emerge in the velvet night,
  Casting love in silver light,
  And as the world slips into dreams,
  We’re wrapped in love’s eternal beams.

  In Leavenworth, where time stands still,
  Our hearts in perfect harmony fill,
  With every moment, pure and true,
  Spending time with my beautiful you.

• Ode to My Eternal Flame

  : 6

  In every dawn, your name is the sun,
  A symphony of light where my day’s begun.
  Your laughter, a melody that cracks the night,
  A constellation spun from pure delight.

  Your eyes—two embers, fierce and wise—
  Ignite galaxies where my compass lies.
  The curve of your smile, a crescent’s grace,
  Maps the orbit of my heart’s true place.

  Touch like wildfire, soft yet uncontained,
  In your arms, chaos finds its name.
  Each breath you take, a tide I chase,
  An ocean’s pulse in your sacred space.

  No rose could rival the bloom you wield,
  Thorns undone by the garden you reveal.
  You are the verse in time’s fleeting rhyme,
  The forever I’ve sought, beyond the when or why.

  So take this heart, unbound and sworn—
  A phoenix reborn where your shadows turn.
  For in your soul, my eternity’s penned,
  My lover, my lighthouse, my beginning and end.

• He’s always with you

  : 8

  In every step, through every door,
  A gentle presence, evermore.
  In shadows cast and lights that gleam,
  A guiding hand, unseen, supreme.

  When paths are twisted, hard to see,
  A whisper echoes, “Come to me.”
  Through valleys deep and mountains high,
  A constant watch beneath the sky.

  In moments bright and days of gray,
  A steadfast love won’t fade away.
  In quiet corners of the soul,
  A peace that makes the broken whole.

  In laughter shared and tears we shed,
  A comforting voice, a path ahead.
  In every place, in every heart,
  A sacred bond that won’t depart.

  Through trials faced, in joy and strife,
  A presence woven through our life.
  In every breath, in every prayer,
  A promise held: He’s always there.

• Heart of California

  : 8

  In the heart of California, where the redwoods rise,
  We three adventurers, with wonder in our eyes,
  Diane, Linda, and I, in nature’s grand embrace,
  Set forth on our journey, in this enchanted place.

  The redwood giants, ancient and wise,
  Stood sentinel as we wandered, beneath sapphire skies.
  Their canopies whispered secrets of times long past,
  Their shadows a refuge, where memories would last.

  Hand in hand, we ventured, through the forest’s green,
  Each step a testament to the beauty unseen.
  The suspension bridge awaited, high among the trees,
  A dance with the heavens, swaying with the breeze.

  Diane’s laughter echoed, a melody so sweet,
  Linda’s smile, a beacon, made our joy complete.
  Together we soared, above the forest floor,
  Hearts light with wonder, spirits ready to explore.

  From the lofty heights, to the coastline wild,
  We journeyed onward, like nature’s own child.
  The Pacific waves greeted us, with a rhythmic song,
  A lullaby of freedom, where we truly belonged.

  The sun dipped low, painting the sky with gold,
  As stories of our day, we joyfully told.
  With Diane and Linda, every moment was bright,
  Two favorite ladies, turning day into night.

  In the heart of California, our spirits soared free,
  Among redwood whispers and the call of the sea.
  A day of adventure, where memories entwine,
  With Diane and Linda, forever divine.

• Heart of the Night

  : 10

  In the heart of the night, where the wild winds call,
  We embarked on a journey, leaving behind it all.
  With stars as our compass and dreams as our guide,
  We ventured together, side by side.

  Through forests where whispers of old legends sing,
  To mountains where echoes of timelessness ring.
  We danced on the edges of cliffs kissed by mist,
  And laughed with the rivers in moonlight’s soft twist.

  Our hearts beat as one beneath endless skies,
  In moments of silence, in shared, knowing sighs.
  With every adventure, our love only grew,
  A tapestry woven from moments we knew.

  In deserts where shadows stretched long and deep,
  Through valleys where memories and secrets we keep.
  The world was our canvas, untamed and free,
  Painting our story in wild ecstasy.

  Hand in hand, we chased the dawn’s golden flare,
  In the wildness of life, we found something rare.
  A journey uncharted, a love without end,
  With you by my side, my heart’s dearest friend.

  So let’s wander forever in places untamed,
  In the wild and the wondrous, where our hearts are named.
  For the greatest adventure is love’s endless flight,
  With you, my dear, through the day and the night.

  We’ve walked these fields where cornrows bend,
  Hand in hand from dawn till day’s end.
  You’re my compass when the path grows steep,
  The promise I wake to, the dream I keep.

  Through dusty storms and skies turned gray,
  You’re the fire that chases the cold away.
  A love like roots dug deep in clay—
  Stronger, truer, with each new day.

  Your smile’s the dawn on a dirt-road mile,
  Your quiet strength makes every trial worth the while.
  You’re the whiskey warmth in my chest at night,
  The steady stars, the porch light’s gentle light.

  So let the crickets hum our refrain,
  Two souls tangled in the slow summer rain.
  My best friend, my always, my home—
  You’re the heart no horizon could roam.

  In every prayer, in every seed sown,
  It’s you, darlin’, who holds all I own.
  Not just my heart, but my story’s whole—
  You’re the soil and the harvest of my soul.

• Furth of July

  : 8

  On the Fourth of July, the skies ignite,
  With bursts of color, gleaming bright.
  We gather ‘neath the twilight’s dome,
  To celebrate the land we call home.

  The Founding Fathers, brave and wise,
  Dreamt of freedom under open skies.
  With quill and courage, they did write,
  A charter for our nation’s light.

  From thirteen colonies, a union born,
  A beacon through the ages worn.
  With ink and valor, they declared,
  A future where all hopes are shared.

  They envisioned blessings, pure and grand,
  For every heart across the land.
  A place where liberty would reign,
  And justice flow through every vein.

  Through trials fierce and battles won,
  Their vision shines in every dawn.
  In every flag that waves so high,
  In every spark that lights the sky.

  So, let us honor those who dared,
  To dream a dream for all to share.
  With fireworks, and songs of cheer,
  We cherish freedoms, year to year.

  For on this day, we stand as one,
  Beneath the stars, beneath the sun.
  Grateful for the path they paved,
  For the freedoms they so bravely saved.

  On the Fourth of July, we proclaim,
  Our gratitude for freedom’s flame.
  To the Founding Fathers, we give our thanks,
  For the blessings that fill our riverbanks.

  May we uphold their noble aim,
  To keep the spirit of freedom’s flame.
  In unity and hope, we find our way,
  As we celebrate this Independence Day.

• Childhood Days

  : 8

  In the golden glow of childhood days,
  We roamed the streets in carefree ways,
  With basketball dreams and laughter bright,
  Two hearts entwined, a bond of light.

  Side by side, we’d dribble and run,
  Chasing dreams under the warming sun,
  With every hoop and every cheer,
  We forged a friendship, strong and clear.

  Walking to school, through rain and shine,
  Sharing secrets, your hand in mine,
  The world was ours, so vast, so wide,
  In our little kingdom, we’d always confide.

  But as the seasons shifted and turned,
  Life’s paths diverged, and lessons learned,
  God called us forth on different trails,
  Yet love and laughter still prevail.

  Though miles may stretch and time may bend,
  In heart and spirit, you’re still my friend,
  For every memory we’ve shared so true,
  Is a thread that binds, forever anew.

  So here’s to the laughter, the dreams we spun,
  To the bond we forged, two souls as one,
  No distance can sever what fate has entwined,
  In the tapestry of friendship, our hearts are aligned.

• A Horsey Day in the Park

  : 5

  I saddled up my trusty steed,
  With dreams of galloping at speed.
  Through leafy lanes, we took our flight,
  A dappled horse and rider bright.

  The park was packed with folks in tow,
  Joggers, picnickers, and a dog named Joe.
  I waved and grinned, feeling quite grand,
  Till my horse decided to take a stand.

  He spotted a squirrel, all fluffy and quick,
  And off we went, like a roller-coaster trick!
  Around the trees, we spun in a whirl,
  While I clung on tight, giving a twirl.

  “Whoa, easy there!” I shouted with glee,
  As we dodged a lady with a cup of green tea.
  “Not so fast, my noble friend,
  We’re just here for fun, not a wild weekend!”

  We trotted past children, who pointed and laughed,
  At the sight of my horse doing a goofy craft.
  He pranced like a dancer, all fancy and bold,
  While I tried to look cool, but my grip was like gold.

  Then came a puddle, big as a lake,
  My horse took a leap—oh, what a mistake!
  We splashed through the water, mud flying about,
  And I squealed like a kid, “What’s this all about?”

  With laughter and joy, the ride came to an end,
  I hopped off my horse, my very good friend.
  As we walked through the park, side by side,
  I knew in my heart, I’d enjoy this wild ride.

  So here’s to the horses, with spirits so free,
  And the silly adventures they bring you and me.
  Next time I ride, I’ll wear my old boots,
  And prepare for a splash—who knows what ensues?

  As the days turn gold with the fading light,
  We walk through time, hearts warm and bright.
  Your hand in mine, the years unfold,
  A story of love both gentle and bold.

  Laughter echoes, soft and clear,
  Through the seasons, year by year.
  With every wrinkle, every line,
  We trace the moments that made you mine.

  The sun may set, the hair turn gray,
  But in your eyes, love never fades away.
  We dance through the twilight, hearts open wide,
  Growing older, but always side by side.

  In every sunrise, every star-filled sky,
  I see our love in the years gone by.
  And as we age, through joy and strife,
  I’ll always cherish this beautiful life.

• My lady of South Carolina

  : 10

  In the heart of South Carolina, where the pines stand tall,
  I find my heaven in the simplest things of all.
  With my beautiful lady by my side, her smile so bright,
  And two little dachshunds chasing fireflies in the night.

  The mornings start slow, with dew on the grass,
  A gentle breeze blows as the days quietly pass.
  We walk through the woods, where the oak trees grow,
  With paws tapping softly, our dachshunds in tow.

  Their tails wag like flags in the warm Southern air,
  As we laugh and we love, without a single care.
  My lady’s soft laughter is the sweetest sound,
  As we dance in the fields where no walls are found.

  Under the big Southern sky, we make our own way,
  Through the golden sunsets that end every day.
  With love that’s as deep as the Carolina blue,
  I’m living my dream with my dogs and with you.

• Meaningful Kisses

  : 10

  If each kiss I give you, carves a sonnet
  Upon your skin, will stars spill from your eyes?
  And would your mind return to muse upon it,
  As you gaze up and see the starless skies?
  If each time I touch you the earth shivers,
  Can I instill in you the calm you seek?
  If the quaking movement makes you quiver
  Will you shake until you cannot speak?
  If we can laugh together in exchanges,
  Which seem, to others, never to make sense:
  Does the lack of meaning still estrange us,
  Until, through love, we find our recompense?
  And if you have answers I am missing,
  Please carve out more sonnets while I’m kissing.

  When I hold you close, the world fades away,
  In the cradle of our hearts, we gently sway.
  Your body, a canvas, painted with light,
  In your arms, my love, everything feels right.

  The taste of your lips, a nectar divine,
  A whisper of passion, a sip of sweet wine.
  Each kiss ignites flames, a fire so bright,
  In the depths of the dark, you are my light.

  Your voice, a soft symphony, calls out to me,
  A siren of love, setting my spirit free.
  With every word spoken, my heart takes flight,
  Wrapped in your essence, I bask in delight.

  Desire etches poems on the skin of the night,
  As I trace the contours of our shared plight.
  Oh, how I crave you, in every heartbeat,
  In the rhythm of love, our souls intertwine, complete.

  So here’s to the moments, both tender and true,
  To the passion that blossoms, forever brand new.

  A love that’s eternal, a sweet, sweet refrain.

• Loved one In Hospital

  : 9

  In sterile halls where shadows creep,
  A heartbeats’ rhythm, soft yet deep.
  The beeping monitors, a haunting song,
  Each pulse a reminder of what feels wrong.

  I sit by the bed, your hand in mine,
  The world outside fades, lost in time.
  Your eyes, once bright, now weary and dim,
  And I grasp at hope, though the light seems slim.

  I wish for the power to heal, to mend,
  To chase away pain, to be your best friend.
  But all I can do is whisper and pray,
  As I watch helplessly day after day.

  The flowers I bring, though vibrant and fair,
  Can’t capture the love that I long to share.
  I yearn for your laughter, your smile, your grace,
  Yet here in this silence, there’s only this space.

  I think of the moments we laughed until tears,
  Of dreams we had woven through all of our years.
  Now the weight of this worry, it pulls at my chest,
  As I long for your spirit to find its sweet rest.

  But still, I hold on, through the night’s endless fight,
  For love is a beacon, a flickering light.
  So I’ll stay by your side, though the road feels so long,
  In the depths of this struggle, our hearts will stay strong.

  For in every breath, in each tender sigh,
  I’ll carry your strength as the days wander by.
  And when you awaken, with hope shining through,
  We’ll forge a new path, just me and you.

  In the quiet of the night, where dreams take flight,
  Your presence is a melody, a soft, enchanting light.
  Each moment spent with you, a dance in endless time,
  Your love, a gentle madness, a sweet and rhythmic rhyme.

  Your laughter is the echo that colors every day,

  A beautiful insanity, where love’s banners unfurl.

  The world becomes a canvas, painted by your grace,
  In the storms of passion, your love’s a warm embrace.
  I’m lost in this devotion, yet found within your gaze,
  A love that grows relentless, in ever-winding ways.

  This craziness, a journey, where reason takes its leave,
  In the wildness of our hearts, it’s you I dare believe.
  Forever in this madness, where love’s the guiding star,
  I’m driven, oh so wildly, to be right where you are.

  In the tapestry of time, our threads entwined,
  Twelve years of laughter, where love’s light shined.
  From sunlit mornings to starlit nights,
  We’ve danced through the seasons, embraced all delights.

  Adventures we’ve shared, hand in hand we roam,
  From mountain peaks high to the shores we call home.

  In the symphony of life, you’ve made me feel strong.

  Through whispered secrets and dreams yet to chase,
  In the warmth of your smile, I’ve found my true place.

  Have painted our journey where love’s colors spread.
  In the chapters behind us, the footprints we’ve left,
  Are markers of joy, of kindness, of zest.

  With the promise of tomorrows we yearn to bestow,
  Together we’ll wander, through whatever may be,
  For with you, my love, I am endlessly free.

  So here’s to the journeys, the laughter, the tears,
  To the love that has blossomed throughout all these years.

  In ruff times, I’ll embrace the weight,
  For every struggle shapes my fate.
  With faith as anchor, strong and true,
  I’ll let Your blessings break me through.

  And when the sun breaks through the gray,
  In golden hues of brighter days,
  I’ll work with joy, my heart aligned,
  To share Your grace, Your love defined.

  In every moment, good or rough,
  I’ll trust in You, though times are tough.
  For in the trials, strength is found,
  And in the blessings, joy abound.

  So let me walk, both bold and meek,
  In every high, in every peak.
  With open heart, I’ll serve and sing,
  In ruff and good, I’ll praise my King.

• Beauty Comes from the Heart

  : 8

  In a world where mirrors gleam and shine,
  We chase reflections, lost in design.
  Yet true beauty, like a whispering breeze,
  Blooms in the heart, where love finds its ease.

  It’s not in the curve of a silken face,
  Nor in the attire that one might embrace.
  It dwells in kindness, in laughter’s sweet sound,
  In the gentle embrace of souls that are bound.

  A smile can light the darkest of days,
  But it’s the warmth behind it that truly conveys.
  Compassion, like sunlight, can pierce through the night,
  Revealing a beauty that radiates bright.

  For when we uplift, when we choose to forgive,
  In those tender moments, true beauty will live.
  It springs from the heart, rich and profound,
  In the bonds that we nurture, in love’s sacred ground.

  So let us not falter, let us not stray,
  From the essence of beauty that guides us each day.
  For in every kind gesture, in every heartfelt part,
  We discover the truth: true beauty’s the heart.

• He is with Us

  : 11

  In shadows deep, where silence clings,
  When hearts are heavy, and sorrow sings,
  A whisper soft, like morning light,
  God walks beside us in the night.

  When loved ones falter, when spirits wane,
  In every tear, in every pain,
  A gentle hand, unseen but near,
  Brings comfort, hope, and calms our fear.

  Through winding paths and rocky roads,
  When burdens weigh like heavy loads,
  He lifts our gaze, shows us the way,
  And fills our hearts with strength to stay.

  Each prayer a beacon, each sigh a plea,
  In the darkest hours, He helps us see,
  That love endures, though trials may rise,
  In faith we find our brightest skies.

  With every heartbeat, we’re not alone,
  In moments of doubt, His love is shown,
  A guiding star amidst the storm,
  In His embrace, our souls are warm.

  So when the days are long and bleak,
  And words of solace seem too weak,
  Remember, dear heart, in pain’s cruel dance,
  God’s light will lead us; we’ll find our chance.

  Together we’ll walk through valleys low,
  With faith as our compass, love’s endless flow,
  For in every challenge, we rise, we stand,
  With God as our guide, forever hand in hand.

• In the eye of the storm

  : 6

  In the eye of the storm, where silence takes hold,
  A paradox reigns, both fierce and bold.
  The winds howl and whip with a furious might,
  Yet here in the center, all’s tranquil and bright.

  Around me, the chaos—a tempest unleashed,
  Thunder crashes and rumbles, a primal feast.
  But here in this stillness, I breathe with the skies,
  As lightning dances, painting shadows that rise.

  The clouds swirl like dancers in a turbulent waltz,
  While the world outside trembles, its fate in the vaults.
  I watch as the raindrops, like diamonds, cascade,
  A symphony woven, a tempest parade.

  Time stretches and bends in this curious place,
  A moment of peace in the storm’s fierce embrace.
  I feel the raw power, the earth’s primal roar,
  Yet here in the eye, I crave nothing more.

  As the storm rages on, a wild, fervent song,
  I linger in stillness, where I somehow belong.
  For in chaos, there’s beauty, in fury, a grace,
  In the heart of the storm, I’ve found my own space.

  So let the winds howl, let the thunder resound,
  In the eye of the tempest, true solace is found.
  I’ll watch as it passes, this dance of the sky,
  For even in turmoil, I can learn how to fly.

• Dancing on the Wings of a Butterfly

  : 7

  In a meadow kissed by morning light,
  Where petals shimmer, soft and bright,
  A whisper stirs the fragrant air,
  And magic dances everywhere.

  With gentle grace, I take my flight,
  On wings of color, pure delight,
  A butterfly, so free and bold,
  Invites me to a tale untold.

  I twirl upon its gilded hue,
  A tapestry of red and blue,
  With every flutter, every sway,
  I lose myself, I drift away.

  Through gardens lush and skies so wide,
  On silken wings, we glide, we glide,
  The world below, a distant dream,
  As we weave through sunlight’s gleam.

  The daisies clap, the willows sway,
  In harmony, they join the play,
  A symphony of joy and flight,
  In this enchanted, fleeting light.

  Oh, let us dance, my fragile friend,
  Where time stands still, where moments blend,
  In this embrace of joy and grace,
  We’ll paint the sky, we’ll find our place.

  And when the evening calls us home,
  With twilight’s brush, we softly roam,
  We’ll carry whispers in our hearts,
  Of dancing dreams and magic starts.

  So let me ride on your wings so fair,
  A dance of souls in the fragrant air,
  For in this moment, wild and free,
  I find my spirit’s melody.

• A Day in New York with Sisters

  : 9

  Beneath the skyline, sharp and tall,
  Two sisters walked, embracing all.
  The city hummed, a vibrant song,
  As they strolled where dreams belong.

  Through bustling streets, they laughed and shared,
  A bond unbroken, deeply cared.
  From coffee shops to Central Park,
  They lit the world with their bright spark.

  The theater called, its marquee bright,
  A play awaited, pure delight.
  They took their seats, the curtain rose,
  And magic bloomed as the story flowed.

  Tales of love, of loss, of cheer,
  Mirrored moments they held dear.
  Side by side, they watched, enthralled,
  As time stood still, and hearts were called.

  When the final bow, the lights came on,
  They stepped outside, the night not gone.
  The city glowed, a golden hue,
  Reflecting all they’d just been through.

  “Remember this,” one softly said,
  As stars above their path were led.
  “No matter where our journeys go,
  These memories will forever glow.”

  Two sisters, bound by love and grace,
  Found joy in this enchanted place.
  New York, a stage, their hearts the play,
  A timeless bond to light their way.

  As you board the plane, my heart takes flight,
  A beautiful lady, a vision of light.
  Your laughter, like music, will linger in the air,
  But soon I’ll be left with the weight of your chair.

  The engines roar softly, a symphony’s song,
  Yet each note reminds me that you won’t be long.
  Your smile, a sunrise, now fading from view,
  A canvas of memories painted in blue.

  The clouds will embrace you, wrap you in white,
  But know that my thoughts will chase you each night.
  Each mile that you wander, each city you roam,
  Will echo my longing, a heart far from home.

  I’ll count every moment, each tick of the clock,
  While you weave through the skies, my heart’s anchor rock.
  The world may be vast, but love knows no bounds,
  In whispers of distance, our connection resounds.

  So fly, my dear lady, let dreams take their course,
  With every horizon, you’ll gather new force.
  But remember, my darling, no matter how far,
  You’re the light in my life, my guiding north star.

  And as you ascend through the heavens above,
  Know each fleeting moment is wrapped in my love.
  For though we are parted by oceans and lands,
  You carry my heart in your delicate hands.

  In the quiet hush of dawn’s first light,
  I feel the shadows whisper, soft and slight,
  A gentle echo of your tender grace,
  In every corner, in every space.

  Your laughter danced like sunlight through the trees,
  A melody that swayed upon the breeze.
  With loving hands, you wove a world so bright,
  A tapestry of warmth, a beacon’s light.

  You taught me love, in every form it takes,
  In simple gestures, in the risk that faith makes.
  Your wisdom, like a river, flowed so deep,
  Now in the silence, I am left to weep.

  Each lesson learned, a precious gem bestowed,
  You planted seeds of kindness, love, and hope.
  In every heart you touched, a bloom would grow,
  A legacy of grace, forever aglow.

  Yet now the days feel heavy, dark, and long,
  Without your voice, my spirit’s lost its song.
  The world keeps turning, but I stand apart,
  A hollow echo in this aching heart.

  I carry you within, a sacred flame,
  In whispered prayers, I still speak your name.
  Though sorrow clings like shadows in the night,
  Your love remains my ever-guiding light.

  So as I walk this path of bittersweet,
  I’ll honor you in every soul I meet.
  For in the blessings that you left behind,
  Your spirit dances, ever intertwined

  Snowflakes twirl like dancers on a stage,

  Under the soft glow of the pale moonlight.

  Wind in our faces, wild and free.
  A snowball fight erupts, we dodge and weave,
  In this frosty realm, there’s magic to believe.

  Hot cocoa waits, steaming and warm,
  In our little cabin, a cozy charm.
  We share stories by the fire’s gentle glow,
  As outside, the winter winds softly blow.

  With every laugh and snow-kissed smile,
  We cherish these moments, if just for a while.
  In this winter wonderland, hand in hand we’ll stay,
  Creating memories, come what may.

  In your arms is where I belong.
  You’re the sweetest melody I’ve ever known,
  In this vast world, you are my home.

  So here’s my heart, a gift sincere,
  To the lovable woman I hold dear.

• God’s Gracious Hands

  : 9

  Through shadowed paths and weary days,

  When trials rise in thorny arrays,

  A quiet strength, unseen yet near,

  Guides our hearts and calms our fear.

  God’s gracious hands, so strong, so kind,

  Lift the burdens that weigh the mind.

  They steady the feet on rocky ground,

  And bind the wounds where pain is found.

  When the night is long, and hope feels far,

  He lights the sky with a guiding star.

  In every tear and heartfelt plea,

  His hands shape faith from mystery.

  He holds the weight we cannot bear,

  And whispers softly, “I am there.”

  Through struggles fierce, through aches untold,

  His hands bring peace, both soft and bold.

  In daily tasks, in dreams pursued,

  His love renews our weary mood.

  Each step we take, each breath we find,

  Is held within His grand design.

  So let us trust, through joy and strife,

  God’s gracious hands in every life.

  For in their care, we stand secure,

  Through all we face, His love endures.

• Hanging Plastic Sheets

  : 11

  We stood together in the chilly fall air,

  Hands wrapped in work gloves, a matching pair.

  The wind teased and tugged at the plastic we held,

  But we laughed as the struggle together compelled.

  Her eyes, determined, met mine with a grin,

  “Hold it steady; we’re almost pinned in!”

  The ladder swayed, the staples sang,

  As the clear sheets whispered, loosely they sprang.

  Layer by layer, we sealed the space,

  Creating a haven, a snug little place.

  Her hand brushed mine as we tugged and smoothed,

  Each wrinkle flattened, each edge improved.

  A simple task, but somehow profound,

  In teamwork’s rhythm, love is found.

  Through autumn’s gusts and winter’s chill,

  Together we’ll shield, together we’ll build.

  When the work is done and we step back to see,

  Our porch transformed, protected, debris-free,

  I’ll remember her smile, the warmth in her eyes,

  And the way love lingers in these simple ties.

• From G.I. Joe to Forever

  : 10

  In a quiet street where the sun would glow,
  Two boys were born, a friendship to grow.
  With G.I. Joe figures, they’d plot and pretend,
  Adventures unending, two heroes, best friends.

  In cardboard forts, they’d wage epic wars,
  Imaginations soaring, opening doors.
  With laughter and dreams, they’d conquer the skies,
  Each day a new quest, with wide, hopeful eyes.

  Then came the stars, as they ventured afar,
  With phasers and starships, they’d reach for a star.
  “To boldly go where no one’s gone before,”
  In the world of Star Trek, they’d always explore.

  Through galaxies vast, their bond only grew,
  In uniforms bright, their dreamships flew true.
  With secrets and dreams whispered late into night,
  They learned about love, in the soft, silver light.

  As years turned to seasons, they faced life’s demands,
  From schoolyard to jobs, with their futures in hands.
  Through laughter and trials, they stood side by side,
  Navigating the world, with nothing to hide.

  And when love found them, in each other’s embrace,
  They held on to moments, in this cherished space.
  From first hesitant dates to sweet, tender sighs,
  Their hearts intertwined, with stars in their eyes.

  In a garden of vows, with friends gathered near,
  They promised forever, to cherish and cheer.
  Two boys who once played with their soldiers and dreams,
  Now partners in love, with a life full of themes.

  So here’s to the journey, from childhood to now,
  To the laughter, the love, and the sacred vow.
  Through G.I. Joe battles to a life they create,
  Two boys, now as one, in a world they celebrate.

  They stood with hearts both brave and drawn.
  Through trials vast, on land and sea,
  They fought to keep our nation free.

  They ventured forth to foreign land.
  In sacrifice, they bore the cost,
  For every gain, for every loss.

• After the Storm: A Lament for Helene

  : 20

  In the wake of Helene, where the waters rose high,
  Homes turned to ruins beneath a darkened sky.
  The winds howled a warning, yet silence prevailed,
  Promises whispered, but hope often failed.

  The streets now lie empty, once bustling with life,
  Families shattered, enduring the strife.
  Where are the leaders with plans strong and true?
  In the shadows they linger, while we’re lost in the blue.

  The shelters are crowded, the hearts heavy still,
  Yet the halls of decision seem void of goodwill.
  Pledges of aid turn to echoes in air,
  As the people grow weary, stripped bare of their care.

  The cries of the children, the elders in need,
  Are drowned by the chatter of those who concede.
  “Tomorrow,” they say, “we’ll rise from the pain,”
  But tomorrow feels distant, like a whisper in rain.

  Rebuilding is more than just wood and some nails,
  It’s hope in our hearts where compassion prevails.
  Yet the leaders who promised have vanished from sight,
  Leaving dreams in the rubble, consumed by the night.

  So here we stand, weary, but not without fight,
  For together we’ll rise, and we’ll claim back the light.
  Though the storm may have taken, it cannot erase,
  The strength of our spirit, our unyielding grace.

  Let us hold them accountable, let our voices be heard,
  For a nation reborn must be built on its word.
  In the shadows of Helene, we’ll forge a new way,
  For justice and healing, for brighter days.

  A guiding star through darkest night.

  With every dawn, my love renews,
  A symphony of endless hues.
  Together, in this dance we sway,

• Ode to Vanna White

  : 25

  In North Myrtle Beach where the waves kiss the shore,
  A star was born, her spirit an open door.
  With grace and charm, she danced through the light,
  A beacon of hope, our beloved Vanna White.

  From sandy beginnings, her dreams took flight,
  With a smile that could brighten the darkest night.
  Through letters and laughter on a spinning wheel,
  She spun tales of fortune, with warmth that we feel.

  In a world of chance, she brought a sweet grace,
  Each turn of the wheel, a familiar embrace.

• Crossroads

  : 13

  Verse 1:
  I’ve been working every sunrise, chasing dreams that seem to fade,
  But the bills keep piling higher, and the sky’s a darker shade.
  I pray for some redemption, but the silence fills the air,
  As I wrestle with my demons, wondering if You’re really there.

  Chorus:
  Oh Lord, I’m standing at the crossroads, feeling lost and all alone,
  With the weight of the world upon me, and a heart that’s made of stone.
  I’m searching for the answers, in this storm I can’t outrun,
  Struggling with my faith, Lord, when the night blocks out the sun.

  Verse 2:
  I hear the voices whisper, telling me to walk away,
  But deep inside I’m holding on, trying hard to find my way.
  The river’s rising fast now, and the road is hard to see,
  But I’ll keep on believing, even when it’s hard to breathe.

  Chorus:
  Oh Lord, I’m standing at the crossroads, feeling lost and all alone,
  With the weight of the world upon me, and a heart that’s made of stone.
  I’m searching for the answers, in this storm I can’t outrun,
  Struggling with my faith, Lord, when the night blocks out the sun.

  Bridge:
  In the quiet of the midnight, I hear a gentle call,
  A whisper in the darkness, promising to catch my fall.
  So I’ll keep on holding steady, through the trials and the pain,
  Trusting in Your promise, like a shelter from the rain.

  Chorus:
  Oh Lord, I’m standing at the crossroads, feeling lost and all alone,
  With the weight of the world upon me, and a heart that’s made of stone.
  I’m searching for the answers, in this storm I can’t outrun,
  Struggling with my faith, Lord, when the night blocks out the sun.

  Outro:
  I’ll keep on walking forward, through the shadows and the doubt,
  With a flicker of hope inside me, knowing You’ll work it out.
  Struggling with my faith, Lord, but I know You’re holding on,
  Guiding me through the darkness, ’til I finally see the dawn.

• Tiny Town

  : 21

  In a tiny town where the stars light the sky,
  I found my heart in her gentle eyes,
  Hand in hand down old dirt roads,
  With her, every moment glows.

  Her laughter echoes in the summer air,
  In her embrace, I lose every care,
  By the creek, where the wildflowers sway,
  We find our dreams in the light of day.

  Her smile’s a sunrise, warm and bright,
  In her eyes, the world feels right,
  Every glance, a promise true,
  In her arms, there’s nothing I can’t do.

  In this little town, our love’s a song,
  Together we’ve found where we belong,
  With her, life’s a beautiful place,
  In her love, I’ve found my grace.

• Unchanged, unchained, eternally free

  : 18

  In the quiet of the morning light,
  Where shadows dance and dreams take flight,
  I find a truth so pure, so clear,
  A whisper in my soul I hear.

  To be the person I am meant to be,
  Unbound by chains, forever free,
  No masks to wear, no roles to play,
  Just me, in every single way.

  The world may press, may try to mold,
  Its voice may sternly, loudly scold,
  But deep within, my spirit knows,
  The path to take, the way it goes.

  I’ll paint my sky with colors bold,
  Sing my song, let stories unfold,
  For in this heart, a fire burns bright,
  A beacon in the darkest night.

  I won’t conform, won’t bend, won’t break,
  For other’s dreams, I won’t forsake,
  The essence of my truest self,
  For fleeting praise or worldly wealth.

  I’ll laugh, I’ll cry, I’ll dance, I’ll sing,
  Embrace the joy each day can bring,
  And though the winds of change may blow,
  My roots are strong, my soul will grow.

  For in this life, to thine own self be true,
  No greater gift, no grander view,
  Than living as the one you are,
  A shining, constant, brilliant star.

  So let them speak, let critics jeer,
  Their words can’t touch what I hold dear,
  The freedom to be wholly me,
  Unchanged, unchained, eternally free.

• Two souls unite

  : 14

  Beneath the sun’s warm, golden blaze,
  Two souls unite in summer’s praise.
  The beach, a canvas, wide and grand,
  Invites their hearts to play in sand.

  With laughter bright and spirits free,
  They sculpt their dreams beside the sea.
  Each grain, a promise in their hands,
  Transforms to castles on the sands.

  Turrets rise and moats are drawn,
  As ocean’s whispers greet the dawn.
  Seashells crown their sandy spires,
  Reflecting joy, igniting fires.

  Beyond the shore, in azure waves,
  They find the thrills their young hearts crave.
  On surfboards sleek, they glide and dance,
  In nature’s rhythm, lost in trance.

  The waves, a chorus, wild and true,
  Embrace their play, their laughter too.
  Each crest, a moment, fleeting, sweet,
  A symphony beneath their feet.

  As sun dips low, the sky ablaze,
  They pause to watch the twilight’s haze.
  Hand in hand, they greet the night,
  Their hearts aglow with pure delight.

  The beach, now quiet, holds their dreams,
  In every grain, in moonlit beams.
  Two souls, entwined by sea and sand,
  Forever bound by day’s soft hand.

• You by my side

  : 23

  In a car on a day so bright,
  With my cutie by my side, just feels right.
  The sun’s rays dance on the hood,
  Turning moments into gold, as they should.

  Wind whispers tales as we drive,
  Nature’s symphony, alive.
  Trees lean in with a gentle sway,
  Guiding us along our way.

  Her laughter, a melody so sweet,
  Merges with the rhythm of the street.
  Eyes sparkling, reflecting skies so blue,
  In this moment, all feels new.

  The world whirls by in a vivid blur,
  Yet time slows down when I’m with her.
  Every mile a memory, every turn a chance,
  For shared dreams and a stolen glance.

  Fields of flowers paint the view,
  Colors vivid, like our love, true.
  Mountains stand tall, and rivers gleam,
  In our little car, living the dream.

  Hand in hand, hearts so free,
  In this journey, just her and me.
  With every beat, with every start,
  She’s the compass of my heart.

  No destination, just the ride,
  With my cutie, right by my side.
  On this beautiful day, under the endless sky,
  Together, forever, you and I.

• Couple’s Adventure

  : 15

  In a cottage nestled by the sea,
  Lived a couple, hearts wild and free.
  Years had passed with love’s sweet grace,
  Now they sought a new embrace.

  Hand in hand, they made a vow,
  To chase the dreams they’d whisper now.
  From snow-capped peaks to deserts wide,
  Together, they’d take life’s wild ride.

  With backpacks full and spirits high,
  They ventured forth ‘neath open sky.
  Through forests dense and rivers grand,
  Two hearts beat strong, two souls unplanned.

  In bustling cities, they danced till dawn,
  On mountain trails, they carried on.
  Beneath the stars, by campfire’s light,
  They shared their dreams deep into night.

  They sailed on seas of azure blue,
  Where dolphins played and freedom grew.
  In ancient ruins, history’s breath,
  They found life’s pulse, defying death.

  From sunrise gold to twilight’s hue,
  Every moment felt fresh and new.
  Through laughter, tears, the trials they faced,
  Their love endured, no time erased.

  In deserts vast, with endless sand,
  They found an oasis, hand in hand.
  In jungles deep, where wild things roam,
  They built a world, a second home.

  When skies grew dark and tempests came,
  They held each other, just the same.
  For in each other’s eyes, they found,
  A love unbroken, deeply bound.

  At journey’s end, they looked afar,
  Two hearts that bore adventure’s scar.
  With stories rich and memories bright,
  Their souls alight with endless light.

  In a cottage now by distant shore,
  They rest, yet dream of journeys more.
  For love, they knew, was life’s great quest,
  An adventure shared, and they were blessed.

• The quiet room

  : 20

  In the quiet room where hope should bloom,
  We sit with hearts weighed down by gloom.
  The marriage counselor’s gentle tone,
  A beacon in the storm we’ve known.

  But you, my spouse, with hardened eyes,
  Refuse to change, to compromise.
  Expecting me to bear the load,
  While you walk a different road.

  Behind closed doors, you weave your tales,
  In whispered words, my strength derails.
  To friends and family, you confide,
  A victim’s mask you wear with pride.

  They see your tears, your feigned despair,
  While my own struggles fill the air.
  You paint a picture, dark and grim,
  A portrait where I’m cast as sin.

  And in the shadows, doubt takes root,
  Your secret deeds bear poisoned fruit.
  In silence, I begin to break,
  A fragile heart that’s left to ache.

  Yet here I stand, with weary soul,
  In this charade, I’ve played my role.
  But know this truth, though hard to see,
  The strength you mock, still lives in me.

  For in the end, the light will shine,
  Exposing lies, revealing mine.
  And though you try to tear me down,
  I’ll rise above, reclaim my crown.

  So let the counselor’s wisdom flow,
  And may the seeds of courage grow.
  For though you seek to see me fall,
  In love and truth, I’ll stand tall.

• She turned my world upside down

  : 15

  In the quiet dawn, I left for work, a kiss upon your cheek,
  Unaware that morning’s light would soon make my heart weak.
  The sun climbed high, then dipped again; the hours blurred and passed,
  Returning home, I hoped to find the peace that never lasts.

  But there, upon our doorstep, a cruel truth met my eyes,
  The locks were changed, the door was barred, a cold, unkind surprise.
  My key, once a symbol of love, now useless in my hand,
  A testament to broken vows, a life I’d never planned.

  I knocked, I called, I pleaded, but silence was my friend,
  The echoes of our promises now twisted in the end.
  Your voice, so soft and tender, now a specter in my mind,
  A ghost of love that used to be, now lost, forever blind.

  The children’s laughter, once my joy, now muffled by the walls,
  Their faces pressed to windows, their innocence appalls.
  They don’t yet know the reasons why the world has turned so gray,
  Their father, now a stranger, kept a lifetime’s breath away.

  We swore beneath the stars that night to cherish, love, and hold,
  But time has turned your heart to ice, our story left untold.
  The dreams we built, the plans we made, now shattered on the ground,
  A life together, torn apart, no solace to be found.

  So here I stand, in twilight’s fade, my spirit crushed, alone,
  A man without a home, without a wife, a heart of stone.
  The locks may keep me from the door, but memories remain,
  A whispered vow, a fleeting touch, a never-ending pain.

  In shadows, I will wander, seeking solace in the night,
  Hoping one day the dawn will break, and bring me back the light.
  But until then, I’ll carry on, a fragment of the past,
  A soul that loved too deeply, in a world that couldn’t last.

  In the quiet of dawn, where the first light breaks,
  Two hearts awaken, and the world gently shakes.
  Beneath the sky, where the morning dew lies,
  They find their reflection in each other’s eyes.

  Hand in hand, they walk through the fields,
  Where love is the armor and trust is the shield.
  With whispers so soft, like the breeze through the trees,
  Their love is a melody carried by seas.

  In laughter, they dance, in silence, they rest,
  Each moment together, they know they are blessed.
  When shadows grow long and the night starts to fall,
  Their love is a beacon, a light through it all.

  Through trials and triumphs, through joy and through pain,
  Their bond is unbroken, a steadfast refrain.
  With every heartbeat, with every breath drawn,
  Their love is a promise that forever lives on.

  In the tapestry of life, they weave their own thread,
  A story of passion, of words left unsaid.
  For in every glance, in every touch true,
  Two souls find eternity in the love that they knew.

  For the touch of you, my heart does burn.
  A sexy angel, my desires ignite,
  In dreams of you, I lose the fight.

  Your skin, a canvas of pure delight,
  Holds secrets of passion, pure and bright.
  I crave the taste, the feel, the fire,
  A symphony of senses, a lover’s choir.

  Your lips, a nectar I long to kiss,
  In their absence, my soul feels amiss.
  The curve of your body, a sculptor’s dream,
  In my lonely nights, you reign supreme.

  The warmth of your touch, a soothing flame,
  Without you near, it’s never the same.
  My fingertips yearn to trace each line,
  Of your body’s grace, so divine.

  I miss the way your whispers tease,
  The way your presence puts me at ease.
  Every moment apart, a cruel test,
  For in your arms, I find my rest.

  Oh, come to me, my angel fair,
  Let me taste your love, beyond compare.
  Feel you against me, skin on skin,
  In your embrace, my world begins.

• Here I stand

  : 10

  In shadows deep where whispers sigh,
  I tread the path where dreams can die,
  A journey fraught with pain and fear,
  In a world that mocks each falling tear.

  The weight of clouds, a burden’s press,
  In solitude, I find no rest.
  Each step a trial, each breath a chore,
  A silent plea for something more.

  The night is long, the dawn unsure,
  A heart once bold, now less secure.
  The battles fought, the scars they leave,
  In lonely nights, I learn to grieve.

  The world a storm, relentless, cold,
  My spirit weary, growing old.
  The echoes of a thousand cries,
  In empty rooms where hope defies.

  Yet in the dark, a flicker small,
  A stubborn flame that won’t forestall.
  Though beaten down, I still remain,
  A fragile thread in life’s cruel game.

  For in defeat, a lesson’s found,
  In loneliness, where truths are bound.
  Survival’s not just might or will,
  But finding strength in standing still.

  So here I stand, though frail and worn,
  A soul that’s tattered, battle-torn.
  Against the odds, I still persist,
  In this hard world, I still exist

• Heart of the wild

  In the heart of the wild, where the mountains rise high,
  We wander through woods ‘neath the vast, open sky.
  With each step we take, hand in hand, side by side,
  Our spirits are lifted, our hearts open wide.

  The whisper of leaves and the song of the breeze,
  The rustle of branches, the dance of the trees,
  Guide us through pathways where sunlight breaks free,
  Casting golden mosaics on you and on me.

  We follow the streams, where the waters run clear,
  Their murmuring voices a melody near.
  By Brookline’s embrace, with its ripples and flow,
  We pause for a moment, and let our love grow.

  Through meadows we travel, where wildflowers bloom,
  A tapestry woven of nature’s perfume.
  We hop over rocks and we leap over streams,
  Laughing together, sharing our dreams.

  The rapids may roar, but we’re fearless and bold,
  With you by my side, my heart is consoled.
  No challenge too great, no journey too far,
  For love is our compass, our guiding star.

  In the hush of the twilight, as day turns to night,
  We find solace in shadows, in the soft fading light.
  The world is our canvas, the woods our retreat,
  As long as you’re with me, my life is complete.

  Together we wander, through mountains and streams,
  Through meadows and rocks, through whispers and dreams.
  For in every step, and in every embrace,
  I’ve found my forever, my heart’s perfect place.

  Among the mountains, where dreams are led.
  With each step, the earth beneath our feet,
  Whispers secrets that the winds repeat.

  Side by side, we climb the trails of stone,
  In nature’s cathedral, we’re not alone.
  The forest’s symphony sings all around,
  As we explore this hallowed ground.

  Through emerald valleys and azure peaks,
  We journey on, each moment unique.
  The sun paints gold upon the trees,
  As if nature itself aims to please.

  With you beside me, the world’s a dream,
  In the mountains, where rivers gleam.
  Your laughter echoes in the canyon’s song,
  As we dance together, feeling strong.

  As twilight weaves its gentle shroud,
  We find a spot where stars are proud.
  Beneath the canvas of the night,
  Our souls take flight in sheer delight.

  In the mountains of North Carolina’s grace,
  We find ourselves in a sacred space.
  With the person of my dreams by my side,
  Every moment becomes a cherished ride.

  So let’s hike on through these hills divine,
  In this enchanted realm, let’s intertwine.
  For in the mountains, love’s story gleams,

  A timeless tale among nature’s dreams.

• Waterfall

  : 17

  In nature’s arms, we two did stray,
  Beneath the sun’s warm golden ray,
  Hand in hand, our spirits free,
  Embarking on a hike to the sea.

  Through forest paths, we made our way,
  Where verdant trees in silence sway,
  Their whispers soft, a gentle choir,
  Guiding us higher, our souls aspire.

  With each step, the world unfurled,
  As if the Earth itself twirled,
  Birdsong carried on the breeze,
  As we journeyed with such ease.

  Beside me walked my precious wife,
  The love within her eyes, rife,
  With joy, with laughter, with delight,
  As we trekked toward the water’s height.

  And there it lay, a jewel unseen,
  A waterfall, in sunlight’s sheen,
  Its waters cascading, pure and clear,
  A spectacle to draw us near.

  We stood in awe, hand in hand,
  In nature’s presence, where we stand,
  Time suspended in that place,
  Lost in beauty’s sweet embrace.

  Together, we drank from nature’s cup,
  As the waterfall washed our spirits up,
  In that moment, love did thrive,
  As we hiked to the waterfall, my beautiful wife.

• Ballad of love and grace

  : 20

  In a meadow where the lilies bloom,
  ‘Neath the sky’s cerulean dome,
  Two hearts met by the light of the moon,
  And vowed they’d never roam.

  Her eyes were stars in the twilight’s embrace,
  His voice a whisper of dawn,
  In that sacred and tender place,
  Their love was gently drawn.

  Hand in hand through fields of gold,
  They wandered without end,
  Each moment a story to be told,
  With every breeze, their friend.

  Her laugh was the song of the lark,
  His touch was the warmth of the sun,
  Together they kindled a spark,
  Two souls becoming one.

  Through seasons of joy and sorrow’s tear,
  Their bond did only grow,
  For in each other they banished fear,
  And let their spirits flow.

  In winter’s chill and summer’s heat,
  Through autumn’s golden haze,
  Their love was a steady, rhythmic beat,
  A dance of endless praise.

  And when the twilight years did call,
  With hair like silver streams,
  They found their love had conquered all,
  A lifetime’s worth of dreams.

  So in that meadow where lilies bloom,
  ‘Neath the sky’s cerulean dome,
  Their hearts still dance by the light of the moon,
  Forever, never to roam.

  Beneath the canopy of a May sky’s hue,
  To the Little River, we journeyed true,
  Where the Blue Crab Festival, lively and bright,
  Unfurled its wonders in the daylight.

  The river’s edge, a tranquil scene,
  Where boats bobbed gently, serene.

  As the sun dipped low in the sky.

  Underneath the rising moon.

  In each other’s arms, we wished to stay.

• Memorial Day Poem

  : 22

  In fields of green where poppies sway,
  We pause to honor on this day,
  With hearts of reverence, heads bowed low,
  For those who fell, whom we’ll never know.

  Beneath the sky, so vast and blue,
  Lie heroes brave, steadfast, and true,
  Their sacrifice a solemn gift,
  Their spirits in our hearts uplift.

  The bugle’s call, a mournful sound,
  Echoes o’er the hallowed ground,
  White crosses stand in solemn rows,
  Marking where our valor grows.

  From distant shores to homeland’s breast,
  They gave their all, they gave their best,
  In freedom’s name, they faced the fight,
  And journeyed to eternal light.

  We gather now, in quiet grace,
  To honor each beloved face,
  To tell the tales, to speak the names,
  Of those enshrined in freedom’s flames.

  With flags unfurled and flowers laid,
  Their legacy will never fade,
  For every dawn that lights the way,
  We live the gift they gave that day.

  So as the sun dips low and fades,
  We walk among the quiet glades,
  In silent tribute, hearts full and pure,
  Their memory, our lives ensure.

  On Memorial Day, we stand as one,
  In gratitude for battles won,
  For every soul who paid the price,
  We vow to cherish their sacrifice.

• Working hard and never seem to get ahead

  : 33

  In the realm of toil, where sweat begets
  A currency of struggle, where dreams are set,
  We labor on, day by day, in relentless stride,
  But oftentimes, our fortunes seem to hide.
  
  With hands calloused and backs bent low,
  We chase elusive dreams, to and FRO,
  Yet amidst the grind, a cruel lament,
  For in our fervor, debt becomes our tent.
  
  We strive and strive, for a better lot,
  But find ourselves ensnared in a tightening knot,
  For every step forward, it seems we take,
  The weight of debt, a heavy burden to make.
  
  With each paycheck earned, a fraction’s freed,
  Yet debts accumulate with insatiable greed,
  Like Sisyphus, we push our boulder high,
  Only to watch it roll back, a mocking sky.
  
  We chase prosperity, yet find despair,
  As bills pile high, and worries wear,
  The promises of hard work, now hollow sounds,
  As the debtors’ grasp tightens, its bounds.
  
  But still we toil, with hope’s flickering flame,
  Believing that somehow, we’ll conquer this game,
  For in the heart of the diligent, a fire burns bright,
  To overcome adversity, to reach the light.
  
  So onward we press, with resolve unbent,
  Though the road is steep, and the journey spent,
  For in the crucible of hardship, we find our strength,
  And amidst the debt, we’ll go to any length.
  
  For though our pockets may be empty, our spirits soar,
  With dreams still alive, we’ll strive for more,
  And in the end, when the debts are paid,
  Our resilience and perseverance will never fade.

  And the first light of spring gently cascades,
  Nature awakens from her slumber deep,
  To dance with joy, in a waltz so sweet.

  Glistens like diamonds in the mist,
  Whispers of life in every breeze,
  Through swaying branches of budding trees.
  
  The sun, a golden orb, begins to climb,
  Casting its warmth, a sublime rhyme,
  Upon the earth, in colors bright,
  Chasing away the remnants of night.
  
  Oh, how the world comes alive at dawn,
  In the beauty of spring, all woes withdrawn,
  A gentle reminder of life’s renewing grace,
  In every dewdrop, in every embrace.

  For in their splendor, we find solace rare,
  In the beauty of spring, we’re reborn anew,
