LOST IN YOU

Slip deep into the plum of the swam,

Wrap up with the warmth,

Tickled with the fragrance of spring.

A smile graced upon the mind.

Twinkle upon reality to brush,

The canvas full of joy.

Swept back upon the down,

Comfort in rising passion.

Anxiety strips a call to flesh,

Perched upon baited moisture.

Aroused through minute touches.

Travel through the soul to places,

Unknown to man.

Doors of desire hold possessions,

Too precious to describe.

We sweep wildly the floor,

Dust rises in salute,

Perspiration showers,

Tempestuous ride.

Ascent through the passage,

Time fails,

Moments stretch.

Love lingers,

Separation dies.

A quiet subtlety aroused by cacophony,

Understanding dictates movements.

Perches on tips of fingers,

Pleasure blooms as brilliance.

Petals of silk and lace,

Common screams punctuate,

Writhing moments captured in the heart.

Watering love from wounded seeds.

Growing strongly,

Erasing past misconceptions.

We linger in a world,

Juxtaposition with our perception.

The outside comes in,

We need not go out.

Learn to be still,

And all that we need,

Presents itself to our open reality.

Lost in you I am found,

Found in you I am free.

Greetings From Loneliness

Picture the moon

Floating in the sky,

Have you ever wondered

How it can fly?

Imagine a sea glistening

With golden moonlight,

Speckled with stars

Polished and bright.

Feel the cool sand

Flow through your toes,

On a small little beach

That nobody knows.

With a cool breeze

To run through your hair,

Don't you just wish

That you could be there.

I hear a gull calling,

Another replies.

Together they turn,

And take to the skies.

The night is so brilliant

There is no need to say,

I could remain here

Forever and a day.

I see it all clearly,

Can you see it too?

But one thing is missing,

That of course is you.

Out Of Season

Harmony is something

I found in you,

If ever I really

Did Find it.

I felt we were one

Of the lucky few,

You and I formed

A perfect fit.

Our minds fused together

Functioned as one,

Not a breath of space

In between us.

The most perfect union

Under the sun,

Nothing in this existence

Could defeat us.

The time has passed,

Something has changed,

The magic couldn't

Have lasted forever.

To hear me say this

Is rather strange,

For I thought it was

A permanent endeavor.

I remember when

I found sense in you eyes,

Just your presence

Would bring me reason.

Now I can't penetrate

Through your disguise,

I sense you've become

So Out Of Season.

Emotional Rescue

White castle walls

Surround the heart.

Inside my mind

Resides my love.

Tower of passion,

Crystal vision,

Drop the drawbridge and accept the world.

She warms the room

With her radiance,

It shimmers as she sleeps.

A small child plays in her heart,

Joyful waif free to roam.

Sugared smile

Powders my touch.

Rousing giggles.

Mixing sighs.

Curtains part.

Beaming lightly

Upon the walls,

Painted with love.

She stirs my soul,

Like an ocean of great depth.

Emotion's wisdom,

Lost element

I need to be whole.

A wave of her wand

Opens my pores,

Her energy becomes my skin.

Taking me to the roots.

Back to the world

To water it with love,

Turning it green again.

Celestial Union

The fire is alight,

As our hearts converse as one.

The passion emanating from our creation,

Spews molten lava and creates the polar seas.

The day breaks to a dawn of awareness,

Set to capture stars in the pocket of our love.

We collect the essence of one another,

Channeling it to a higher consciousness.

Bringing joy unto the creator,

Astonishment to the children of God.

As a picture tells a thousand words,

Our emotions reveal a thousand lives.

That struggled through the ages,

To reach this point of ecstasy.

A new form not to be repressed,

By the jealousy of others.

Free to explore a new realm.

The dominion of celestial love.

Where reality is boundless,

Like transcendent dreams of angels.

The Curse Of Being A Man

Because I'm a man

She doesn't trust me.

Because I'm a man

I have a warped perception.

Because I'm a man

I'm guilty

Of every sin committed by my gender

Against her.

Because I'm a man I carry a curse.

A curse I can't exhume.

A hunched back

Grown by her past

And sown upon my shoulders.

I am a reflection of her father.

The companion of her ex-husband.

Simply because I am a man.

Castrated by my gender

Because it is my gender.

I am a man

And I can't change that.

Perhaps she should try sleeping with woman.

LMB 1995

Sacrificial Love

The heat of the sun ignites thoughts in my head,

Floating away on vapors incense of the dead.

Crimson and broken screaming for love,

In the light of the moment succumbs a white dove.

A child of innocence seeker of wisdom,

Invited by colors falls into the prism.

My soul dies of hunger it needs to be fed,

As though hitting the water the ripples they spread.

Riding the river of life unto the sea,

Colliding with you or are you colliding with me.

Like droplets that form and flow into one,

Shall I offer resistance or just let them run.

Love has no boundary I've said it before,

But why do I struggle to open the door.

The angel of mercy surveys a corner of my heart,

But this valley of indecision is ripping me apart.

Dazed and confused my mind still ablaze,

I find what I want even through this thick haze.

Forming in my eyes and then slowly sinking down,

On blood streaked path creation swells from the ground.

Overwhelming fire tries to make me cry,

I shall not give up fighting until the day I die.

For no evil would dare try and keep us apart,

Because it is in the heavens our path has to chart.

And as we paint the sky a new shade of blue,

A son will be born from a love which is true.

Everything in the World

Dreamers wish upon stars

In search of great fortune.

Praying for wealth and fame.

Working hard for every dime.

Struggling to make a name for themselves.

I don't need to follow this path,

For I have everything in the world with you.

A fancy car might be an impressive sight,

Turning heads at every twist of the road.

Jewelry dangled at the end of a wrist,

Brings a gasp from an anxious crowd.

Pockets bulging with cash

Is perhaps one means of happiness.

But though my pockets are empty

I have everything in the world with you.

Some may stand on a pulpit

In awe of the crowd.

Name plastered on a marquee

Filled with lights.

Whispers of innuendo filling

The Star and National Enquirer.

But as long as you know my name

I have everything in the world with you.

I have all that a man could want,

I have more then my fair share.

Knowing I have you by my side.

Knowing how much you care.

I have everything in the world

As long as I have you.
