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?
