BREATHLESS
Breathless I await you
your touch of fire and rain.
Barricades are falling
This will never be the same.
Breathlessly I hold you
in nocturnal visions clear.
Fantasies attainment,
the day is drawing near.
Breathless palpitations,
a hunger for your kiss.
Breathless contemplation
the dream of future bliss.
Breathless I await you,
licentious man of fire,
fingers burn to touch you,
fulfill my mad desires...
I WILL LAY WITH YOU
I will lay with you
in forests moist;
in meadows filled with vibrant gold.
I will lay with you
in colored leaves;
in blowing winds of winter cold.
I will lay with you
in misty rain;
in memories that won't let go.
I will lay with you
in early dawn;
in midnight musings moonlight glow.
I will lay with you
in sands of time;
on beaches built of stories told.
I will lay with you
in sweet reprieve;
in love returned to always hold...
GODDESS
She cries to be his golden
Goddess.
Tall, proud, perfect
Goddess.
Unashamedly naked
Goddess.
Satin skin and hair of silk
Goddess.
Wine drenched lips, drops of passion
speak his name
Goddess.
Eyes glow with desire,
untouched by time
Goddess.
Rather the Goddess of Imperfection
rises to meet him.
Tentative,
more silver than golden
Goddess.
Love overflows as a marble pitcher too full.
She steps into his arms
the magic touch
transforms.
The Goddess of Imperfection
glows with the golden light
of perfect
love..
LOVE POTION-THE BEGINNING
Amor, she says, is all she needs
but scarcely can she find the source
till walking through the park one day
she strays a little bit off course.
An aged man of wisdom waits
a scroll of parchment in his grasp
as she goes by he offers her
says what you crave is found at last.
Within this scroll the potent spell
the formula for love of souls
approach with care, admonished he
for herein lies much more than gold.
From gentle eyes fall salty tears
as she thanks him with voice of awe
and hurries home to start her task
with faithfulness in what she saw.
LOVE POTION-THE OUTCOME
She gathered bits of roots and seeds
and mixed the formula with hope
a dash of water, and twas done
uncertainty was out of scope.
Looking askance she drank it down
and spoke the words to call unto
her lover who would soon arrive
and prove the wizard to be true.
She waited patiently all day
and rather far into the night
she held her head up high and knew
that soon he'd be within her sight.
The new day dawned, she was alone
yet something in her heart had changed
she felt a warmth grow ever bright
as former life was rearranged.
For potions work in many ways
and this one did as it was meant
to give her hope, renew her dreams
the reason the old man was sent..
TOUCH ME NOW
Touch me now with hands of gold
do not leave out anything
touch me, I've been too long cold
holding so much love to bring.
Touch me now, don't turn away
for who knows when next we meet
how long until yesterday
tastes only of bittersweet?
Touch me now, you know you want
to know, to feel love within
release all memories haunts
to find you, in me, again.
Touch love with me, touch the stars
love can never go too far...
I AM EVE
I am Eve
reaching blindly toward the fruit
always longing for one more taste
arms outstretched to touch the edge
of desire.
Closer,closer,
the haunting shadow of your love
remains elusive
The bulging tree of knowledge
offers such tantalizing
appetizers
but never the whole thing-Oh no.
Sweetness trickles over my lips
but my hunger is not sated.
Come, bend just a little
you hold such a heavy burden
let me have some of it
let me have all of you
and you will grow in the knowledge
of love
and I will take you with me
to the outer limits
of the garden.
I WANT TO BE
I want to be your Juliet
although with happy ending
I want to be your Marion
my love of ages sending.
I want to be just your Scarlett
and you my devilish Rhett
I want to be your lady faire
as you are my Knight errant.
I must always be Pandora
who wants all of which you hide
as she kept hope inside the box
so then, shall I thus abide.
I want to be your true solace
when the days and nights grow blue
I want to be your last lover
whenever this life is through.
I want to be your everything
not simply the one you knew
for in my heart is all of it
my complete desire for you.
NOT UNDERSTANDING
Looking back through tunnels of love and despair
Questioning why such turmoil is always there
Seems yesterdays kiss left a mark on my soul
Long past it continues with remnants of cold
Can it please be relived, those days filled with hope?
If not, tell me what is the best way to cope.
Feel blueness reach out, clutching hard at my heart
From where comes the strength to make honest new start?
I would be the first one to step back in time
A time when the planets were rightly aligned
when men wanted love on a rose strewn warm beach
and asked for your hand, really wanting to keep.
Not the same anymore, the love game we play
Or is it just fate which has turned me away?
Will time lend itself to be true friend or foe?
Or shall it continue to hide what I know?
Rumor has it there is an answer to this
Thus I wait forever, for one final kiss.
FRAGILE
Fragile stem of once strong rose,
petals fade, no longer glow.
Feel him slowly slip away,
no respite at end of day.
Fragrant flower crumbles now,
rich blossom with small head bowed.
Fragile love no longer viable,
fantasies prove unreliable.
Nothing left but love so torn,
flower's beauty so forlorn.
My Blood Red Rose
With petals soft as silken love
and thorns to mar its' silken glow
I hold it close, caress the stem
and as I do, my red blood flows.
Some say a rose can hold the truth
signify love, or hope or loss
my blood red rose mocks me this night
for with it came the highest cost.
A rose of motives so unclear
it should have brought such happiness
instead he dropped it at my feet
the night he gave me his last kiss.
Blood red, my valentine of heart
a wilted rose of memories
yet still its' fragrance does enchant
and someday it shall set me free.
DREAM STEALER
Dream stealer I beg you, go away
I have my plan to make good this day
I want to love, be loved in return
It's not so much, I'm sure I have earned.
Take not the dreams of my truest heart
Stop trying to take and rip apart
Reality ,come another day
Give me a chance to feel this real way
Stop interfering, for it can be
just leave it alone, let me be me.
I need just one thing, not so much, true
If life will leave me alone to do
One person could make it work, you see
it may be too late; it may be free.
If the dream stealer will go away
I think there's a chance, goodbye to pain.
I won't give in to harshness of life
I swear there's escape, just let me try
ONCE I KNEW (Dream Stealer, part 2)
Once I knew it, dreams came true
then one day someone would steal
told me, someone lied to you
Dreams are nothing close to real.
I rebut this claim, not so
dreams are all I have to live
do not take away so cold
Let me have my needs to live.
I will dream, be damned to you
I cannot let go of all
else whats left, just claims untrue?
I refuse, my heart won't fall.
Dreams, you're there, I know you still
come to me, my life to fill.
LITANY OF LOVE
Words of hope in shrouds of rain
words that take away the pain.
Touching me through webs of steel
somehow you still make me feel.
Not yet..can't get over you
not yet..coming home to you.
Never did our passion die
never-though you tried to lie
Brush away dusted deceit
Destiny calls us to meet.
I would do it all for you
fly to hell and back for you.
Not too late, I always knew
not too late to taste the truth.
Crumbled dreams reform as if
magic spell sent through the mist.
Love of years reflected shine
love to last through all of time..
