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

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