'What Dreams May Come'
(heroic sonnet duet)

Dream of you and I, together as one
In moonlights' glow, or the shine of the sun
Loving each other as we know we should
Living our lives in ways we know we could
Where all is possible, in loves' sweet venue
Basking in the warmth of a love so true
In our perfect world, in love we could be
Tasting heaven in blissful harmony
Beauty in our future, can you see it
I long, nevermore, to be separate
Dreams can come true, you must believe in this
Hope, timeless as the sands of an hourglass
Open your mind, and imagination will flow
The spirit of our love will lead where we go
Feeding on the desires our hearts relay
Entranced by the fragrance of our love's bouquet
Night after night, I dream and long for you
Sleeplessly wondering if you dream of me too

'When Darkness Looms'
(a villanelle duet)

When darkness looms, tomorrow fades away
No comforting light shines upon or within
It's hard to see beyond this dreary day

Tonight only foulest evil shall hold sway
And blackest night shall pave the way for sin
When darkness looms, tomorrow fades away

Deep in the night is when the wicked will play
Fixating on sorrow's gruelling tailspin
It's hard to see beyond this dreary day

Around this corruption purest white turns grey
Night creatures hrieks and howls a hellish din
When darkness looms, tomorrow fades away

All living things seem hollow, yet full of decay
As long as it stays dark, evil will always win
It's hard to see beyond this dreary day

Corruption and decay, lusting from evils prey
Nothing but whiteness and goodness chagrin
When darkness looms, tomorrow fades away
It's hard to see beyond this dreary day

'Two Within One'

When first I saw him I was struck with a jolt
Could feel a special magic deep within tingling
His gaze fired through me like a lightning bolt
He could feel it too, I knew I was not dreaming

What should I do, when I know it would be sin
This transcends lust, and to him I want to run
Consequences don`t matter, feelings want to win
My mind is in turmoil yet I know he is the one

Listen closely friend, for I will tell you no lie
My heart knows the secret of those feelings of sin
I'm not sure I can explain it, but I sure will try
For I long to spare you the myth of the win

When the one you truly love is unreachable to you
You'll yearn for his touch, drown in your desire
He'll be in your thoughts with everything you do
Your wicked mind and treacherous heart will conspire

Yes, I hear what you are saying my friend
But this love is already heavily on my mind
I know theres certain rules I will have to bend
Desire is so strong for this man, gentle and kind

You see, I think it is already too late now
He has burrowed deeply beneath my skin
How can I ignore these yearnings, tell me how
How do I step out of this spinning vortex I am in?

Oh, dear, I can see that it's much too late
For I can tell that your heart speaks clearly now
It matters not what I would try to do or say
I just wish I could spare you your heart, somehow

One thing you will need to always understand
Is that you would be leading two lives within one
Can you keep them seperate, with each in high demand
Without causing your entire world to be undone

My life of two within one already does exist
That with them, then the one where I am alone
Is it treacherous to share solitude, to desist
And hope these worlds can co-exist on their own

Your words come from your experience I know
For your wisdom I am grateful, your words are sound
But this love makes me feel alive, need to let it flow
Only time will tell if it`s heaven or hell bound

Then, I wish you well in your newfound love
Never would I try to stand in your way
I hope it is everything that you've always dreamed of
I really only have one more thing to say

If your heart gets torn or tossed carlessly aside
When you feel alone within your complex situation
I offer you my shoulder, on which many have cried
Don't forget I'm here for you, of my own volition
