Ladies of Light

I romanced two ladies.

At first light I did seize

True beauty- a spirit

In rock face lace appeared it. 

The second night did show

A seductress from the shadow.

In neon light tights, caught off guard,

She appeared on the boulevard.

I sat at dusk and dawn 

Not knowing to which I was drawn.

One holds my thoughts fresh,  

The other thinks of my flesh.

Body and mind torn sure

To sin and pure allure. 

The Wild, We Wonder, We Wander

Mother's touch and Man's hand
Have left their mark upon
Blank slates of newborn land.
Makers and Shapers long gone

And we wonder
How we wander
Without blunder
Into splendor.

The path is cut
And rivers flow
Our voyage strut
To El Dorado.

We are men made wealthy
As nature is healthy.
