Sacred Place

That sacred place remains for us, where touch and taste absorb our heartsAnd leave us sensate in its wake, the doors will open widerThe animal is stripped from me, the angelbreath upon meA barrier against the windsOf lankinessThat haunts me

Every tingle on my spine is curative, superlative, cumulativeIn that it grows in meA measure on a pot that's full of beauty, awe and reverenceThat calls us to that higher loveEternal taste of oneness

In Awe

Bluer than blue like the waves of the oceanTruer than true in undying devotionRedder than red is the passion of heartDeeper than deep from the moment we start

White upon white like flotillas of iceCloser than close, nicer than niceHigher than high without stimulants, freeTo offer yourself as I offer me

Deep Within Us

To capture that rapture of quieter times, to live in simplicityIs difficult now as the noises creep in, we pray to the stars to cometrueSomewhere in the heavens the joyous reside, not angels but just me andyouThe answers remote but not from above, live deep within us and our love

A Love to Keep us Warm

We creep in darkness 'fore the sun, moonshade holds the powerClumps of fog to hide our fears which loom in this witching hourBetween the dawn of morning light and inky blackness of the nightA shard of hope shines pink withinThe love that keeps us warm

Walking in Love

The mist released its nighttime grip and settled to the groundThe fairies playtime at an end as the sunlight grew aroundWith one last gasp it snared our dreams and held us in its handNo ropes to hold us in this placeLike hands thru water, not a traceIs left of long forgotten fearsWe walk and live in love

Snuggled

Snuggled beneath the covers of love, we shake and we moanAnd we trembleYet the morning creeps in, the sun and the dinAs we lay there in awe and remember

Porridge to warm us with brown sugar and milkOur lunch bags are brimming with gleeOur clothes smell of starch and are kissed by true loveWith our schoolbags and friends we are free

Sometimes

Sometimes it feels unearthly, my earth glows red withinSometimes it feels uneasy, as our lovedance does beginSometimes it feels unearned, unfairTo have my heart float up, disappearInto the ether far aboveThe creaminess of love

Sometimes the clock rings rarely, slow, as I wait unbreathedFor you to showSometimes the time flies by like lightAs the morning shakes me hard and brightSometimes I want that one inch more that separates your derm from meOne single layer, yet untouched that lays next to your heart

Japanese Sun

The Japanese sun glowed red in the sky to welcome the morning lightShards of pink shone thru our dreams as day became the nightThe brilliance of autumn is in the airMid southerly winds to blow thru your hairMagnificent sunrise reflecting loveFrom the spirit in your eyes

Even before their eyes can see, they rustle thru the nightAs nature creeps on the forest floor awaiting mornings lightThe very first sound that they hear as they wakeIs the crack of the lightning that makes them shakeUntil they see their brothers lieRedder pools than the daybreak skyTheir keening drowned by shouts of gleeOnly the hollow echo remains

We pass thru the fire barely unscathed, its breath upon our backsWalk thru coals of fiery red until our spirit lacksThe faith that obstacles will be removed, our paths so safe secureThe waters part to let us pass, our journey to the truthWhere led by love our hearts are pureForever to be true

Reborn

Where once there was darkness in my dreams now lays a bounty of starsWhere once my gray mornings held cloudbanks of doom, now the pinknessreturnsWhere once my hawk soared high above unable to land or to lightThere now grows a solid green garden and whispers of hope Thru the night

Reborn from the darkness of journeys, my wounds are beginning to healNumbness forgiven, in the river of life, by its grace I am once more tofeelSometimes tears do appear to release inner pain, sometimes fearsreappear time and againBut with your hand in mine I am free from the pastNo longer a prison to hold meMy faith in my heart is forever to lastAs your love and your teardrops console me

Alive Again

My life is no longer drab and gray, no mist before my eyesI feel alive, invigorate, my horizon is the skiesIn shades of orange, red and greenA seamless web, sometimes unseenTo hold me in the morning

Awakened from the death of sleep, beyond the lives of manThe spiritual world exists in me, the power in my handTo heal the sick, erase the blameIn truth all beings are the sameTo hold on to each other

Alive I shout my ecstasy, unafraid of what I'm "sposed to beOr what may come I find the joy, in every feeling, wanting moreI long to climb the alpine peaks, and be there when the prophet speaksIn pearls of wisdom dripping downI find the heart that holds the crownTo hold onto this everloveAnd live in love forever

Flickering Sun

I see you in the flickering sun before it goes to sleep, I feel you inthe clouds that float above me in my dreams, I taste you in the morningdew, the frost upon my cheeks, I hold you your love up to the light, insplendor let it grow.Moon in the morning, sun at night, our basket of love an unearthlydelightParadise lost and yet regained, progress not perfection, growth onlycomes thru the power of painCool dry fall mornings, our breath in the airRainbows of colours to shine in your hair

Moonshadow

Moonshadow dances thru the clouds deep at night, slide beneath dreamsand run from the lightPeek from the blankets to feel the chill air, toes touch together toknow we are thereStartled awake by the whistling wind, blow thru the chimney, submergeand rescindRattle the roof as the chestnuts fall free, grateful to be you And I can be me

Safe in the Warm Tender Touch

One warming embrace from the late season's sun, the reverie shattered byhunter and gunRun to the valley and gather the herd, round up the wee ones, say not awordBut deep in the forest our lair lies in wait, for two lonely travelerswho stumble in lateBut safe in the warm tender touch and embrace, the snow it will covertheir sleep with a grace

Path to Higher Glory

We have wandered thru the windswept plains, drank waters from the floodPaid our dues in many ways, in tears and sweat and bloodNow we've climbed that gentle peak, the rising grassy knollOur spirits high, our love secure, the joy has found our soul

You have followed me thru Hades gates, beyond the call of manStepped with me behind the glass where only shadows canHeld my hand thru nights of pain, as despair spun me round againThen with your healing heart revealedThe path to higher glory

Today we stand erect and proud, our love a beacon to the earthTheir flailing hands we grasp to hold, to reassure and then consoleFor true as blue or ever was, the sun will rise in glorious mornAnd by this love that barely once a flicker wasHas now through fire been reborn

Tomorrow's Empty Glass

The skies have closed their tired eyes, rainbows replace the tears Pools of mist have blown away as hope transforms our fearsSilent whispers in the night as darker days fade into pastThe orange glow reflected in tomorrow's empty glass

Into My Bed at Night

I watch you race towards the moon, to turn away one moment soonAnd fall like grace or shooting starsInto my bed at night

Today is all we Have

Pumpkin frost invades our gardens as daylight lingers in our hearts to hardenDeep flannel sheets to face the chillAs acrobats we bend our willIf not to powers, higher greaterThan something in the air

Arrows point the way ahead as you and I are gently ledBy thoughts outside our feeble heads, that slice towards the marrowTo sleep the gentle dreams of youth, we sometimes taste the bitter fruitThat grows too eager, just beyond our claspA simple truth, too hard to graspIs that today is all we haveNo matter what the difference

Where you and I are lovers

I saw you trail into the sky, a plume of white upon your tailSoaring for the heights of heavenNot afraid to die

But reaching for the very last morsel, savouring every tasty biteNever wanting day to endWaiting for the night

Where dreams replace the orange glow, an aura where the rivers flowComplete, submerged beneath its depthsYou hold your mind as breath by breath

You rise again, reflect the sun beneath the green gray blueish dimThat peeks within the inner worldWhere you and I are lovers

Morning Delight

My breath shone white in the morning delight while the sliver of bluemoon danced coldThe stars sparkled clean in the spaces between where the nighttime willnever grow oldThe hoar frost took hold of all we behold as the sun rose in orangey redAs we lay half asleep beneath the blankets so deep with visions of lovein our head

Where Does Love Go?

Where does love go when it's frightened away, does it hide like a mousebeneath bundles of hay, where does love go when its' buried in snow,does it lie there and shiver and shake, where does love go when it'sbanished forever, forever and ever a day, does it fly to the sky, seekit's refuge on high, or does it just wither and die

On Wings Forever

Love springs from deep within our reservoir, a mighty gushing forceIts course it is unstoppable by child or man or horseBut surely as a river flows it gathers steam as strong it growsUntil it reached waterfallsTo spread its wings forever

Love holds our hearts throughout the storm, to stop its trembled beatingIt deeps us safe through longest nights, in the morning is our greetingLike the sun it warms our hands and like the moon it guides usTo safer planes where you and ICan spread our wings forever

The blind can see perfectly well in the shadows of the nightThe deaf can hear in the roaring falls, the mute can speak in the lightThat oversees us from afar, like dewdrops from a falling starOur love can feel it thru the painTil softly, gently we land again

Keep us Safe til Spring

Fleeing from forgotten fears, the past will chase us downWearing like a truckers tire, smiles become a frownYet sometimes in the still of night, we hear it creeping into sightAnd stand to face its awesome powerIt slinks back into darkness

Alive awake, before the break of streaming sunshine in our mornBefore the pink light dawns our day, our spirit is rebornStoked by faith our fire glowsSealed by love our hope still growsOf flowers in the winters snowTo keep us safe til spring

A Growing Love

The stars shone thru the thickest fog to brighten up my daySouthern winds blew softer breezes to help to show the wayDeep in valleys locked embraceThe mists will rise to bring us graceAnd safe inside our neat cocoonWe drink the cup of love

Fiery sparks to heat the evening cooling from the sunWarming glows from happiness to help us feel as oneLost within this passions flameOur spirits rise to join againOur lips still taste the higher loveThat grows within our hearts

Secret Sorrow

Your eyes whisper softer, tender love that beckons me thru fog and rainReleases floods of memories, wash the scars of soot and painTil I stand in robes of white, my heart it's purest after nightWhere shadows roam the empty hoursSeeking faith in sorrow

I long to feel that cleansing shower, that falls in sunshine any hourThe days slip into gray betweens where we can stare yet not be seenOur mask immune to thoughts and motionBut facing South at once we knewThe secrets to our sorrow

Paradise Not Lost

The clouds whispered love thru the winds of dreams as my heart floatedsouth for the heatMy spirit exulted my feet on the ground as the slowboat to EdendepartedMy soul is released from the current of time that entraps frozenpassages lostAs I gaze in your eyes to the galaxy waiting I realize paradises' notlost.

Frosty Dawn

I awake to the frost that envelopes the morning and hear single shotsthat resound without warningThe earth is complete with its shimmering sheetAs the darkness gives way to the dawning

My prayers to the heavens are granted by love as I lie in the gaze ofyour eyesEach day new beginnings with mockingbird singingsEach morning a brilliant surprise

If I Could

If I had the means and money I would rent an air plane to trail I loveyou behind meEtch it into the nighttime skyLet it burn like acid on the face of the moon

If I had the time and money I would sweep you off your feet and carryyou to the beaches of CubaLet my love soak into you like coconut oilFeel the sun glisten on our naked bodiesSleep the gentle peace of the ocean

If I had a platinum American Express Card, if I won ten million dollarsin the lottery, if I struck oil in my backyard, if.....If I had all of these things I would give you the worldCarry you on my back like a small child, holding you tightly as wetouched the stars

I have none of these illusions, but I have loveThat I freely offer from the well that has no depths, no bottomIt is as infinite as our imaginationAs wide as the seven seasIt will never fade, never tarnish, never grow old or dieIt is eternal and foreverFor it is me

Hold on for one More Day

We travelled thru the fairies land before the break of dayPast horses riding in the darkSaw three deer eating in the parkWatched yellow leaves with trembling treadsHold on for one more day

We sat inside the frigid frost that held the world outsideFelt warmth of love re-enter us and held that heat insideScraped away that flimsy film and blinded by the lightGave praise to all that guided usAnd kept us safe at night

We slowly traced the rivers path and tightly wound each curveDistractions fell like raindrops, our sanctum undisturbedTil one by one the headlights lamps brought dawning to our mornAs we gazed upon our blessingsBy this love we are reborn

Love is Everywhere

The world grows smaller at my feet, the mountains shrink before meThe skies grow closer to my touch, the wind blows thru my hairThe clouds creep down to raise me up, for a second time stands stillI savour every blessing granted as I feel love everywhere

No barriers to shield my path, no roadblocks yet remainIdeas like the waters flow, as my brain becomes more saneFree from longings of the past I reach out for your hand to graspTo hold you in the fading sunTo love you thru the night

The grayness of the morning mist cannot dampen my search for blissI find in the yellow hues that bless my days make dreams come trueI find it deep within my heartAnd when I gaze at you

The gentle ride along the river winding fast into my dayMakes me pause and feel the grace of every moment we've been grantedIn the warmth of touching fingers, clasping deeper yet our loveI feel the power of CreationFalls like rain on earth, above

Brown Orange Autumn

The brown orange autumn will soon fade awayAs the leaves slip away to the winterThe greenness of time will sleep for a whileAs the grayness invades with a vigour

Blue skies will remain after rainbows of rainHave washed away traces of bitterThe stars will still smile and the moon rule the tidesAs eons of time ever after

The wholeness of love will shine high aboveLong after springtime romance has blossomedTo grow in our hearts with their roots in the skyIn the sweet fertile pleasures of love

First Love by Starlight

Bluer than blue on a cold winters day, the sky expands my horizonWhiter than white is an angels delight, as I reach thru the clouds just to find youElusive at first like my bottomless thirst as I wait for the passion to growFirst love by starlight is most blessed in sight like the wish in the morning is granted.

Reflections

My love reflects like sun on glass, gleaming in appealMirrors back the heat inside, realize my dreamHold on fast thru murky waters, waiting for the dawnA moment wasted, a moment lost, it's here and then it's gone

My love soars high in the sky, speeding on hot airLose its tether to the ground, tightrope without a careOne foot past its partner, motion to the goodDream awake of memories of what may be, or could

Find the spark within our spirit, fan the coals to make them roarLight in darkness, desert waters, leave the sense of wanting moreGrateful to the morning sun that replays in your eyesFeel the love become my saviour, truth will always best the lies

Things I Love About You

I love the little girl gleam in your eyes, curled on the couch like a ten year oldNibbling at your snack like it was the bestest ever.I love the sheen from your body as it emerges from your sunrise bathHair flying in all directions as you scramble into the morningOne last look of emerald green love before you runDashing back at the last second to seal it with kiss

I love seeing you sway ahead of me to get to breakfast rendezvousA swirl of black merriment as your hair dances in the windI love seeing you come towards me from three blocks awayOne arm dangling from the burden of the turtle shell you grip tightlyYour gentle wave of acknowledgement and your smileWarms me completely

I love the feeling of flesh on flesh as you sneak into the bed beside meSweet lingering scents of cream and lavender lotionPressed tightly into my body, my mold becomes yoursThat first kiss, always as sweet as a mezzalunaTo slide me into my dreams

Goodnight

Goodnight precious oneMay the angels hold your hand thru the long nightMay the clouds drift you to the banks of paradiseWhere I will be waitingIn love

By the Fire

I sit by the fire to flame my desire while the wind whistles close to my dreamsFor comfort I am led to a feathery bed as the howling outside calms sereneSafe in your arms I release all my fears to be carried to their frozen domainWhile your love keeps me warm in the gathering storm and in peace I will always remain

I Will Stand by You

Feel me in your darkest night for I will hold a candle brightSee me when you're all alone, for I will show you the way homeSense me when you're most afraidFor I will stand by you.

Heartbeat on my Pillow

Your heartbeat on my pillow, your love upon my chestOur minds, our thoughts connectedBy the morning we are blessed

Your hand in mine to guide me even when we are apartA comfort and securityTo hold me in the dark

We dream together often as the nightclouds race the moonThe stars are our companionsAs the morning comes too soon

Waking with You

Slivers of blue sneak thru the clouds as the wind blows in cold from thewestHarshly alarming the radio blares disturbing our blanket of restThe cool morning chillness sends shivers through airAs we snuggle, our warmness to share

The heat from your heart intrudes through my chest as together we wakefrom the nightStill dark in our dreams like lasers it seems, the morning sun shows itsfirst lightOne last loving embrace, as we move from love's placeTo walk through the day til next night

Magnet

Smiling as we separate in the partings of the morningOur paths entwine yet verve apart, change lanes without a warningYet through the distance we seek and find the common star that binds usHolds us close tho miles awayBy love's great magnet we are drawnTo sleep at night, as one

Everlove

Shocked awake by bitter winds that rock me to my coreSlicing through the layers deep, still I long for moreTime to spend within your arms to feel your love embraceI turn my face to winters cold and pray for times of grace

Lying quiet in the storm that rages all aroundIn the eye the safety lies as hurricanes aboundSafe within my web of love my tiny fingers grasp the strawsOf hope that springs forever moreThe secret world inside that growsWith every moment spent withinOur bed of everlove

Safe in Love

The world transformed from black to whiteEven as the days lose lightI hold the spark within myselfThat burns in ever love

The virgin snow lays on the groundAngels breath grows all aroundAnd in my heart the everloveThat burns inside of me

Serenity's my blanket warmTo hold me safe within the stormTho winds may howl and threatenMy love is safe with you

Melting Hearts of StoneHearts of stone are melted faster than the snow in sunRacing waters stilled to calmLight returns before the dawnFrozen in the web of timeI sit in love and peace

Whispers

Whispers from the northern wind blow thru the palace of our dreamsWhose towers spike the icy heartsThat face the morning sun

Everpeace

Time in frozen capture waits the spark that sets her freeYearning for the better days where love will ever beThe rock to build the future onHer world revolving in a songThat sung by angels while I waitIn love and everpeace

Four years pass into the void like leaves into the riverMoments spent in ecstasy, atingling and aquiverSometimes progress forward can be measured but in inchesOther times the world expandsAnd in our laps a fortune landsOf riches wild abandon

Four years of love so pure and true, without the preconditionsThat cause our spirits to withdraw into the safe traditionsBut ceilings raised as high as skyNo words to answer questions whyInstead we reach our hands to joinThe pinnacle of love

Come Meld With Me

Come meld with me into the deep and let my love slide into your sleepA blanket for those lonely nightsWhen frost creeps thru the stillness

Come meld with me into the dawn and let me linger hard and longTo quench the ache that never stopsUntil first light of day

Come meld with me within the snow and watch as Christmas orchids growTheir petals open to the sunHow moist the velvet touch

Come meld with me my Guinevere, and like your trusted Arthur dearI wait, aready, sword in handTo take that fateful plunge

Come meld with me in softest light where silhouettes reveal the sightOf curves sublime and tautness stillThe oneness of serene

Blessings

Precious are the moments spent, in quiet comfort and contentTo simply lay before the fire, watch the flames of love grow higherHold our love within our heartsUntil the morning comes

Dear too dear are hours lived beneath the shadow of the moonCradled in our love's expanse, other voices come too soonTo break our sacred reverie of touch and taste beyond comparein love supreme, sublime

Always I will treasure fast, the very first, a kiss to lastUnder the mezzaluna's glow, I held your trembling head between my handsAnd now we walk united, one, along the sands of time, gratefulFor every blessing like the sunIs granted in our love

Joy to the World

I wake with joy upon my lips and worry now has been eclipsedAnd banished to the netherworldWhere it slowly cries to sleep

I wake with love within my heart and even as the sun does startTo warm me from the inside outI feel your heart beside me

I wake with hope upon my soul as I struggle to be wholeMy life in place like dominoesFalls in row by row

I wake with peace upon my earth and never do I feel the dearthOf lovesongs on the my grateful tongueTo spread like dew in morning

Grateful to the Morning Rain

I am grateful to the morning rain that sheets upon the groundForming puddles for our rubber bootsTo spray our love around

I am grateful to the morning rain that streaks across my window paneMy view imbued with life againAs springtime nestles closer

I am grateful to the morning rain that cleanses me from winter's pain My life renewed in love againUntil the rainbow comes

My Song of Love

My heart flies to the sun but flames of fire grip my tongueMy heart flies to the briny deep but in my spirit shadows creepMy heart flies to the craggy tor but still my soul cries out for moreMy heart flies to you and is embracedAnd thru my blood flows healing graceLight now shines where dark prevailedMy song of love returned

In Love As One

Safe and secure in a love that's so greatHappy and joyous our mind can createVisions of beauty and kindness and graceNevermore sadness to stand in its placePower of love like waves in the oceanOver and over in endless devotionTime brings its blessings as sure as the sunLife is together in love and as one

Live Within the Light

Small steps made towards the good, leading to the oneGentle rays of goodness peeking from the sunNow our days are filled with loveEvery moment full of loveCast away are shadows oldTo live within the light

The Scent of You

Waking to the scent of you, your love secures me fastFeeling warm beneath your touch, all of sadness pastPain is like one drop of water, deep within the wellLife transformed to heaven on earth, far away from hellSorrows blanket now exposed, remove it from our heartSoon our love will flower full, today's the futures start

Refreshed by Love

The morning fog cannot conceal the happiness and joy I feelTo hold your hand in morning sun and feel its healing rays

The past is but forgotten mist, that time before our very first kissWhen you and I awakened bright to what the future holds

Your touch upon my burning cheek, my open mouth as yet to speakBut only held your gentle head so fierce was my desire

And we lay in love's repose, our favourite flower crimson roseDethorned by passion in the night, we wake refreshed by love

Grateful for the Day

Feeling gray and lonely, alone and apart from the worldIs a place where I no longer resideThe rain has washed my blues awayMy melancholy is gone to hideIn the nether regions of far recessMy spirit soars and I am blessedBy living, loving in the lightAnd grateful for the day

My sombre mood gone and vanishedBourne on the winds that clear my skiesGone are my petty moans and sighsMy eyes awakened to surpriseThat gloom is lifted by the graceA smile affixed upon my faceAnd you and I we lay in loveGrateful for the day

Sweet Release

The shadows fade into the night, the wind blows me to sleepGod whispers in my inner ear that I am his to keepI wrap myself around you like a hand within a gloveI hold you close forever in the dreamtime of our love

I float on clouds within your arms, my place is safe, secureThe closer that I feel your love, the more I long for moreWhite feathers from an eagles nest to line our bed of peaceSoft jasmine from an orange grove as we breathe our sweet release

Bring you back to Me

My spirit's drawn to walk with you, my hand upon your heartMy love it flies beside you, even when apartThere's something in the wind that blows Something in the swirl of snowsSomething in the rain that fallsThat brings you back to me

Even in the Hurricane

Even in the hurricane our love lives in its eyeEven in the ocean our love will keep us dryEven in that bitter pit, the abyss of confusionOur love will hold us safe and warm and lead us to solutions

Even in the fiercest winds our love will hold us fastEven as the days grow long our love is sure to lastEven in the darkest night when terror turns to dreadful frightOur love will comfort and console until the morning comes

Loneliness

The silence of our loneliness is oft too much to bearOnly broken by the empty sound of solitary tearsThat wash away the pain inside like waves upon the oceanRemoving stains of yesterday in one graceful flowing motion

The sadness of the morning song is broken by the feelingThat everywhere the rain will end and rainbows arc revealingA deeper, higher, longer love that holds us in the mornBreak the shackles of our yesteryears and by our love reborn

In Peace in Love

Feeling pulled inside myself the darkness does surroundWithin the deepest well of all the fears inside aboundBut higher still the light of loveIn deep despair will shine aboveAlee from stormy seas of timeI lay at peace, in love

My destiny unyet fulfilled my power torn between the willsOf straight and narrow to the sun or down to Hades perilMy hope a slender strand of time that lurks forever one step behindThe fear that binds me to the past, a ladder with its rungs removedNo path revealed in dim of night, but yet your joy shines everbrightTo lead me back to higher loveI lay in peace and hope

In the Silence of our Dreams

I live to spend my days with you, the time together preciousI long to live my nights with you with nothing in between usBut love as sheets and kisses plenty, touch of you is heaven sentThe fragrance of us lingers longBefore the dawn does waken

I long to walk along the beach, watch sunlight stream upon your faceHold hands in twilights fading light and watch the moon arrivePick stars as ours through the hours where time stands still andfriendlyWash my back as I wash yourGlistening eyes reveal my path as oneness overcomes meIn the silence of our dreams.

Abandon

One taut tender embrace and the shadows are gone, vanished swiftly theportals of sorrowAs I lay in abandon with my love by my side, in the soft glow of lovefor hereafter

Journeys

My life is like a river that flows gently to the seaNavigating rocks and reefs I seek serenityWhen the water boils to whiteThe safety of the shore's in sightAs long as I keep paddlingAnd hold onto our love

My life is like a trip to space without the rockets blastThrough Milky Way and galaxies no need to hold on fastFor when my world is threatened by meteorites from afarI let the spirit guide me to the safety of a starAnd in its brilliance rays of lightI traverse thru the dead of nightThe moon may disappear from sightBut never will my love

Lay With Me

Lay me down in fields of clover, let the waters wash me overEvery cloud will pass until the nightsounds become very stillWrap me tight in loves cocoon wait until the rising moonHas ceased its hiding thru the nightAnd dreams me fast to sleep

Let me stay forever wise and unafraid to call those liesThat spill with ease from liars lips and so the earth the sun eclipseSometimes we just have one more slipUntil the fallIs final

Lay with me thru winter long and let our love become a songThat hibernates within our breasts until we cannot more contestThe reasons for this ancient love that holds us fast unto this placeAnd let the light of love be strong and let it last the seasons longUntil the sod has turned to greenAnd all around and in betweenThe trumpets flourish with fanfareIn honor of the truth

Moonsong

Whispering winds have welcomed me home, by your love I am never aloneWithin your arms my spirit soars and cares are left to wither

The balm of sun rays is upon my heart and in silence I am never aloneThe arms of your love protects me still, and my lips hold a tenderspringsong

The aura of moonshadows dance in my dreams as the waters of time bringreleaseFrom bondage of pain to my ears sweet refrain, while the mists of themorning do linger

The Comfort of our Love

I feel the warmth of springtime air and soon my mind will wanderTo dreamy days and peaceful nights and afternoons to ponderGreat mysteries of what's to come, do I need more oil for the sunAnd I can sit, relax, enjoyThe comfort of our love

In green, green fields the flowers cry for sunshine from the gray, gray skyTo held them reach their limbs to love, and in the grace that reigns aboveSpringlike on them as they lay, before the children come to prayAnd you and I we kneel to prayIn the comfort of our love

Beneath the Waterfall

Our hearts grow green with sunshine seen thru prism's rainbow lightOur love will grow in row on row as day transforms the nightFrom sadness veil to Holy Grail our search for peace has endedWe lay in love with grace above in serenity, contented

The springtime sun has warmed our hearts to greet the grateful mornLike tender shoots our love grows roots and so we are rebornFrom shallow selves to spriteful elves the magic catches holdAnd so we lay in love secure until we're gray and old

I sit beneath the waterfall at peace within the sprayThe falling light passes thru the drops of water as they fallRevealing rainbows prism bright in answer to my call

Climbing my Everest

The days of wringing hands are done, the sleepless nights are lostSerenity awakes my morn and my darkest dreams are tossedInto the waste bin of despair, without a thought they disappearLike fish into the river

I soar to greater heights again and like the arc that follows rainMy jet plumes white into the blue, a trail that's evident and trueA stairway to the heavens high, on wings of love explore the skyAnd in your arms, I sleep

My life is small when you're away, not to have you here to sayI love you Joan in every wayNot to have your arms around, surround me, your heart my pinnacleTo climb my Everest, my peak, to speak into your earsI totally love you

Even in the Quietest Moments

Even in the quietest moments I can hear your heartEven in the dead of night when we are apartI reach for you to find you goneMy spirit restless all aloneI feel your love inside my soulAnd rock myself to sleep

Even in the deepest ocean devoid of thought and raw emotionEven in the bluest sky my wings do soar to greatest heightsEven at the bottom of a well that holds no hopeNo ladder hangs to climb my way out, no reasons left to help me copeEven when the outside voices come achor us to denounce meEven when my lifelong friends do gather round, complain renounce meEven as the blackest cloud does shield my sun and I fall quiet

Then my heart flies out to you and you return in nights of blueTo lay beside me, hold my heartAnd if I die before the morrow, time will not record my sorrowBut lift me high on angel's wings to hear the trumpets joy to bringMy love forever as we passOur days in paradise

Thirst for Love

No monsoon rains can quell my thirstNo cloud break flash can blind meNo rivers deep can block my passage To the ocean of my dreams

Time nor tide nor moontime currentsHold me fast in mortal climesNighttime eyes reveal desiresIn glowing coals I'm unafraid

Still the caves of youth do haunt meLonely in my shallow poolUrchins of the mornings gracesCrumbs of bread to feed the soul

Swimming once against the currentFind the love that heals my heartCloser in the darkest anguishLove will conquer fear at last

Wherever Whenever

Wherever you may walk or drive or stroll or fly or swimI will always be beside thru through times of thick or thinIn rainy days or starry nightsIn troubled hours or in delightOur path is twinned as go thru lifeOur partnership secure

Whenever storm clouds threaten or thunder roars aboveYou can feel me in the gentle rain of goodness and of loveWhenever water swamps your raft and you reach out in distressConsider me your liferaft, as I save you I'll be blessedFor the moments that I've known you in this briefest glimpse of timeAre the happiest that have come my way in serenity sublime

And I promise to you faithfully that wherever you may roamYou will find my arms to hold youMy love to keep you warm

Like a Garden

My life is molded like your garden, softer at the edgeWith brilliant burst of happiness, a songbird at your ledgeSafe inside the perimeter no harm can come to meAs I watch to see the greenness grow from every leaf and tree

In the glory of the morning sun your petals open wideI breathe your sweetest fragrance as I gaily step outsideTo receive my unearned countenance of the beauty of your loveI am grateful to Creation for the grace come from above

Without You

My world is empty, barren, dry; the birds have fallen from my sky,their morning calls have shrunk to dust, no light of day but alwaysdusk, no warming fire in my hearth, no joy to rise, instead a dearth,Of everything that glitters silver, brings a sparkle to my eyes, sored from tearing pain, I try but stumble back again, into the pit oflone desire, the flicker of my tapers fire, is dim too dim, that oneshiver of wind can blow it out. Alone, apart, my journey desolate, asthe plains of the Serengeti, before that first drop of water from thethundering monsoon rain, wash away the very pain of being one, nottwo.That's how I feel without you

Ravished

Waters of life in my loves great devotionRolling along like the waves of the oceanCarry me far on the tips of your wingsBring me to paradise, let my heart sing

Green is my valley in the springtime of lovePetals of sunshine that fall from aboveViolet and crimson in our bed of desire Soft yellow pansies in a circle of fire

Roll me to far lands where mountains of dewCleanse my from past sins on a path that is trueLay me forever in the soft grass of timeLet me be ravished by our love so sublime

The Honesty of Today

Far away on the distant sky the horizon darkens gloomilyBut safe inside our feather bed we lay in love sereneSirens call the curious to witness the taste of dangerWhile you and I we offer love to the kindness yet unseen

All around the chaos beckons for those who've lost their waySombre clouds bear testimony to the bearer of bad newsYou and I in the grip of love care not for storm clouds gatheringBut hold each other tighter in the honesty of today

Inside our Cocoon

Cocooned inside our bed of love the rain will pass us bySafe within serenity the clouds fall from the skyRevealing blue within their depthsWhile you and I in fall out of breatheTo taste the tip of ecstasyThat lies within our love

Secure in self and in each other, trying to be saneInsanity prevails without, the source of ever painAll we need is a tent to hold usTo see the beauty that enfolds usNo harm can seep inside our loveTight against the world

The Glory of the Morning

Open to the blood of life and peaceful in the face of strifeWe strive to be our better self that sometimes we leave on the shelfSweet crumbs that taste of yesterdayAs children naked to the sun we playIn the glory of the morning

Between the Moon and Tides

Inside the petals of my heart, inside my purple dreamsDeeper than the sun can shineNearer than it seems

My wishing well is full of hope, my canoe so smoothly glidesBetween the ripples left behindBetween the moon and tides

Until we Rest in Peace

The eyes of needles widen to allow my access thruAnt hills open to embraceMy ego lessened by the traceOf essences and fragrance sentBy love without a promise of repaymentBut given freely as the NileMy heart is released by your smileAnd still we row for mile on mileUntil we rest in peace

Beliefs

I believe in the blueness of the sky, the goodness of Creation, thatglass will shatter from a fall, and you will answer my cry for help.

I believe that we are one thread in the darkness, that light emanatesfrom before, after and the in between.

I believe in the sadness of the rain, the deepness of your eyes, andthat the blind can see.

I believe that the truth can never grow fatigued, that burdens arelessened by love, that hope is more than a place in Arkansas.

I believe that the stars hold our dreams and let them fall only whenit is safe for us to receive them

I believe that man can fly, unaided, unabetted, unafraid, that I canlet go of the branch above the ravine.

I believe in forever love. I believe in you.

The Place of Love

I love that place. The one where you just let go of the world. Allworries lifted. All cares float into the ether. Your mind and yourbody are serene, quiet. As one.

I love that place. The scent of your freshly washed hair. Your soft,rhythmic breathing. No shield, no walls, only doorways. To paradise

I love that place. All the tautness of the day released into thenetting of the night. All the sounds evaporate into one heart beating.

Acceptance

Our lives are shaped like flowerbeds, sculpted from the greenSometimes we only feel at peace in the places in betweenWhen the noises and the clamors fadeWhen all we hear is silence And all we see is shade

We struggle to define ourselves from earth and vast blue skyWe open to explore ourselves unto the question whyThen we realize that hoping will not take us to our dreamsOne step is just beginningTo accept life as it seems

The Path to Higher Love

In the comfort of the quiet night the darkness holds our heartsAs we cling to life so precious we can let the magic startTo embrace the love we're given as a gift from stars aboveTo hold on tho winds may blow usOn the path to higher love

One Kiss to Save Me

One touch that shakes me to the coreOne kiss that leaves me wanting moreOne arm around me in the nightOne embrace til morning light

The Depths of Love

Into the depths of love I delve with time as my companionPeeling back the unzipped layers to rove in wild abandonTrembling at the taste of you, your breath becomes my essenceFalling so far in love with you, each hour last but seconds

To Guide us Back to Love

Time is like the light that fades in shades of pink and gloryPass like ships in foglit nights, each moment tells its storyOf how we stumbled, how we fell, yet to rise again to tellThe majesty of life surrounds us, by its grace the morning crowns usAs we wait for yellow sun to guide us back to love

Searching

I search my heart for inspiration, a thought to start my dayFind the love that's deep inside, the kindest words to sayTo let you know the beauty that your love has given meThat helps me on my journey, on the path to serenity

I find it in the birds that sing to greet the dawning morningI see it in the flowers that are by the rain rebornI smell it in the new shorn grass, the earthy deepest brownI feel it in my heartsong, in this love I do belong

Wandering

For many years I wandered, stammered, stumbled even fellIn my lonely heart of misery, a place of living hellTil By your hand I faced and met the passion of my fearsReleased the bonds of loneliness in a river full of tears

Today I stand erect and proud, a credit to my raceIn honesty I hold my self to the mirror of my faceWound tightly round in deep embraceI live in goodness by your graceAnd I know I've found my placeIn the grasp of higher love

Morning Sun

The morning sun reveals the world enshrouded by the fogWalls of mist bedew the earth, awakened to the soundOf fireflies that sleep by day, the moon is in the sky to stayIts fading aura casts a glow that leads us to our love

The heat of springtime sun at last soon weaves its way between the grassThe greenness spreading far and wide, the warmth of joy seeps deep insideA banquet laid before our eyes, of mead and honey satisfiesThe craving of our hearts delight, that leads us to our love

Agape

I am awestruck, agape at your never-ending wonder and beautyIf I have tears, they come from the city of joy, the palace of ecstasyMy soul

Glory

A sea of blue in the morning lightA blanket of stars to warm us at nightA river of green on a well travelled roadThe deepest of love to lessen our load

Their tiny green arms to the heavens do riseFlashes of orange await to surpriseYellows and pinks and blue of the oceanThe reddest of roses to show my devotion

A downy soft pillow, a rest for our headsA coverlet of love as we lay in our bedsAn ocean of gratitude flows thru our heartsAs the morning awakens the glory to last

Umbrella

Your love is my umbrella, to shield me from the rainMy comfort in the sadness, my cure for aching painOf lonely feelings in the nightYou hold me til I feel alrightAnd as I gently fall to sleepI thank you for this love

No Matter Where I'm Blown

No matter where the river flows, no matter how hard the northwind blows,no matter how deep the far end of the ocean, no matter how tired fromperpetual motion, no mountain too high, no vale is too shady, to hideyou from my love.

Rainbow

Green is my love from the rainfall at nightBlue is the sky in my garden delightRed is desire that is fuelled by your loveGold are the blessings that fall from above

Lavender, pink are the iris of lightSilver are stars whose greatness are brightYellow is sunshine to warm us all overAll colors of rainbows are found in this love we discover

In the Mirror of my Eyes

I have a picture of you that I carry around in my mindIt is so vivid, I can reachTouch youTaste youFeel your warmth and energy

It is my friend in the cold loneliness of the wavesMy blanket to cling to in the night

Your smile is forever in my thoughtsWideOpenGleaming pearls of whitenessReflecting the beauty of your heartInto the mirror of my eyes

Until I Saw Your Face

Days and nights I wandered through the desert of my mind, leavingfriends and family in the dustiness behind, through days of fogs andnights of missed, a lonely frog unyet unkissed, but croaking in theweeds of time, until I saw your face.

Waters of Love

Waters of love rain down my emotionsFloat me away on the waves of devotionCrossing the dateline in perpetual motionSaved from my past by the love of an ocean

Not Be Alone in the Darkness

Gliding softly thru the water in my birch canoeWaiting for the clouds to clear upDreaming thoughts of you

One more buzzer in the dawn of lightOne more touch to last all nightOne more long embrace, to last my lifetime long

Dreamscapes pass like clouds at night and fade before the mornTattered webs of fragments tossed are in the sun rebornSoon the circle is rejoined as muscle to the boneDarkness is just a place to sleep, not to be alone

Birdmother

Let me wrap you in the soft whiteness of my eagle feathersLet them enfold you as the birdmother holds their fledgingWho has fallen from the nest

The littlest one, who craned her neck to see the wonders of the worldStretching so farUntil the cold hard earth smashed into her fragile self

Let My Love

Let my love be your blanket in the coldest of dreamsWhere you are lost in the mazeNo way outFrom the noise of the faraway thunder

Let my love be your light in the darkness, one flicker of hopeIn an ocean of betrayal.Let my heart be your cushion, your pillow in the hardnessOf time

Let me be your loverForeverTrapped in this web of love I await the spiders biteWith ginger anticipation, I relish the feastFor a lifetime

Journey

To lay at night in the arms of loveWhile dreams are chased by the moon aboveTo pin our hopes on the glistening starsAs we journey though our love

The breath of love has entered me as by this wind my spirit soarsTo reach the heights of yesteryears, a conch to hear the ocean roarsA feather bed on which to lay, on humble knees I bend to prayAll thanks are to this greatest loveAnd to Creation below, aboveFor deliverance is surely mine

Or yet, one kiss away

Fuscia

You hold my heart within your hands, my feelings in your powerMy world is filled with scents of you in every waking hourIn pink blushing fuscias, and lavenders sweet you dress up my world in your beautyThe reddest rose my hearts desire to lay in love with you

Blossoms of Love

Winter melts in springtime sun and bleeds into the summerA blanket of green surrounds the sereneAnd blossoms of love are our bounty

Deeper in Love Through the Night

Fruits of the earth ripening fast as the days grow the longest to peakPale yellow moon in the fireflies sky as the wordless are prompted tospeakOf the beauty and wonder of shadowless love, in the depths of the nightcomes the ladder of loveThat leads us to promise of honey and meadAs we lay in delight of the rapture

Laughing in love while the stars hang above and the river of life everrunsOur blood intermingles with the gentlest of tingles as our minds arerelieved of all burdensAll of our cares like the mist disappear while the embrace of our loveit surroundsAnd the worries of time are like ruins in rhyme as we fall deeper inlove though the night

Inside our Nest

Wrap your fears around my neck, let your worries goSafe inside our love's cocoon, feel the magic glowEven in the darkest night our love becomes a starlit brightAnd holds us til the morning comes refreshed by dreams of hope

As I walk along the lonely road and pain creeps in my heartThrough vales of tears the shadows grow as we lay far apartOur love seeps through the foggy mist and by the moon our lives are kissedAnd we are safe inside our nest that holds us til tomorrow

Quiet Moments

I love the quietest moments, just you and I aloneSome bread and cheese, do what we pleaseNo mail, no fax, no phone

I love your smile, your warmth, your breastsPressed tight in love against my chestKeep me safe til morning lightWhen hope brings me to life

To Lay in True Love

There once was a void, a hole in my heartThat kept out the sun, left me in the darkThat hole was so big it swallowed my soulLike Jack and the whale I could never be wholeBut like in the fairy tale stories of pastI found a true love and I knew it would lastWith love as my partner and you as my guideHelp from Creation I wandered insideTook hold of my void and let the wind blowSoon sadness was banished and my heart it just grewInstead of a hole buried deep in my heartI lay in true love and never will part

Another Day in Paradise

In the silence of the morning hours just as the sun does riseI waken to the moment see the beauty in your eyesHigh above the silver moon hangs on a thread in blueThe birds sing quiet songs to me as I lay in love with you

On padded feet I spread the sounds of morning thru my worldThe sizzle of a steaming bath thru my nostrils coffee swirlsThe sights and tastes of everlove in my ritual of routinePrayer and meditation to the one as yet unseen

Sloshing over breakfast as the papers stain our handsSoft toast, hard eggs good company the world at our commandOne gentle kiss as love breaks thru the silence of the oneAnother day in paradise in the spirit of the sun

Always More to Find

All the world within my cup, my chalice overflowingLove is like an acorn planted, in the earth it's growingFed by rain in the South of Spain, Cote d'Azur is callingRipened by the springtime sun, blessings soon are falling

Miracles are like the fruit, untended yet are mellowJuicy plums from Mexico, by your heat turned mellowNothing I have said or done has caused this battle to be wonUnworked for harvest from CreationFalls into my basket

Happiness

Happiness is heaven sent, like a falling starSoftly slip between your fingers, find you where you areSeep into your inner coreLeave you gaspingWanting moreAnd always more to find

Happiness is like the summer sun, warm upon your heartCloser to the finish line, farther from the startWorry fly like bats at nightAngels come to bring delightRelease from every pain there was Is lying in your arms

Happiness is like the morning flower, opened after rainIn the darkness soft it sleeps, but to rise againHealing power lasting longSoon the cherubs break to songYou and I the whole day longSafe at peace, in love

The Perfect Love

It's as if I've finally landed, at last I've found my placeTo live my days serenely, within a world of graceSo many blessings have been given, so many sins are now forgivenIf my life would end todayI would smile and fall asleep

To find the perfect person who loves you warts and allWho fills your days with wonder and by the moon enthrallTo sit and rest in plenty, while the world still seeks its crumbsTo be alive and living while so many are so numb

I am grateful to Creation for the path that I've been ledI can see the road so clearly all the curves that lay aheadBut as we trudge together on the road to destinyI am grateful to the love you bring, this love that set me free

Pure Love

Sprinkled by the morning shower, welcomed by the breath of the windFeeling the earth reawaken itself, the glory of life beginPeeling layers from the night, where you and I in love, slept tightUntil revealed by rainbows light, in the pureness of our love

A Million Miles

A million miles I walked this earth in search of higher loveTen thousand wandering lonely days as I looked below, aboveTil one day light came to my heart, through green blue silver eyesA prism to release the colours, free me from diseaseReplace it with a gentle touch, a kind and soft embraceReplace my ache with happiness, my weariness with grace

Now my walking days are over, my place to rest has comeI live my life serenely with the knowledge that has comeFrom sharing life, the hopes and dreams, the greatest and the smallWith one whose pureheart parts the clouds, the highest love of all

One Smile in the Morning

One smile in the morning can erase winters warningOne kiss late at night brings summers delightOne rainfall in spring lets hope ever bringOne leaf in the fall is nothing at all, but the passing in time in thislove so sublime can wash all my worries away

Only Love

Only love can break your heartIn two, in tiny sliversOnly hope can mend the glassOf broken promise fevers

Only two can face the dawnThat reaches hard into the morningOnly two can ease the chillThat comes from winter's early warning

Only you and I survive the holocaust of what went wrongOnly you and can meet the shimmering light before the dawnOnly you and I have hope that springs eternal from our wellOf happiness that like a birdWill soar into the heavens

My Candle at Night

My light in the evening, my candle at nightMy heat in the winter wind, my earthly delightClimb the ladder to the topHold me tight and never stopLet the rain be our embraceAnd by this love we grow in grace

The Path of Love

Long before the sun has risenTime before the dawn of manSpecial few are chosen, calledTo seek the path of love

Far beyond the mountains shadowDeeper than the river runsInto expanding hearts of dreamsTo seek the path of love

Past the point that eyes can seeHorizon dipping out of viewFarther than our universeTo seek the path of love

At Peace

We floated thru the magical mists, our feet above the groundThrough walls of fog our souls flew by, silence all aroundThe cool gray wind of wintertime will soon within the seasons rhymeYet you and I lay safe and warmBetween the sheets of love

I long to lay to quiet bliss in our bed of sweet surrenderTho storm clouds rage in skies above, our love is no pretenderTo the throne of evermore, where starlit skies push to the foreAnd gather us in arms of loveTo lay at peace as one

Let This Feeling Grow

Buffeted by the seas of change that crash into our daysWe hold on to this wave of life that comes to us in raysWhatever storms may threaten or reefs that lurk belowWe have this love to follow wherever we may go

I will hold onto this liferaft, this healing grasp of loveDeeper still within my heart, on earth and far aboveFor Creations gift has bound us from this day forever moreI will always hold you in the nightLet this feeling ever grow

Save Me

Laying still within my bed, while thoughts of you flow thru my head, I sink neath the waves sublime, to surface gasping every time, I think of you my heart grows large, until it chokes the breath from me, my feeble stabs to break the storm, are washed away before the morn, and yet you lay but fingertips, reach out to save my soul

Pledge

Time immortal, time forgotten, time will come againSummer shines, while winter snows, and spring will ever rainSeasons change like hearts of manWouldn't, shouldn't, mustn't, canHold this love unto the fireWatch the flames leap ever higherSnow nor wind nor rain nor sleetCan even in this world competeWith eyes unto the longer gloryLove is like an oft told storyTo this love I pledge my heartAs seasons move together

Love Reigns Over Me

Feeling warm without the sunFeeling alone but not undoneFeeling apart but never left homeFor love reigns over me.

In the silence of three quarter moon skyMy words trail off to the question whyLed by the stars to my aerie homeFor love reigns over me

In the heat and the grime of the compost heapMy shoulders sag and my knees grow weakBut the strength of my heart is never in doubtFor love reigns over me

At the speed of light in the whir of sound I crash through the barrierInto the ground, I plant my lilies for the springAnd my soul is grateful for the life they bringFor love reigns over me

Bed of Love

Grateful as the moon holds tight into the breaking daySoon tomorrow's cloudy morning slowly slips awayBut in the moment of its gloryMoonrays reach to tell their storyWandering thru the starless nightTo find its bed of love

Face of fullmoon glowing strange its yellow gleam an eerie rangeOf light in darkness, joy in pain, one more orbit, back againStill the world remains revolvingHuman species is evolvingFrom cavelike state and catatonicTo find its bed of love

Your Smile

Your smile is like a cuppa tea at night, my soft favourite chair, theNew York Times on Sunday, playing soccer, hard and fast, then relaxingon the sidelines, exhausted, but happy. Your smile is my ecstasy, my drug of choice, and man am I addicted!Your smile is my reward for loving you, no more required to satisfy myevery need. Your smile tells me you're O.K., you love me, and I go to sleep in thatbeautiful, bountiful sleep, where all is good in my world.

Love is like a Buttercup

Love is like a buttercup that gleams below your cheekTimid is not just reserved for mices and the meekAngry voices in the dawnMelt into the mists of mornSoon the feelings pass awayLike dreams upon the wind

Love is like the tranquil waters floating on the lakeGiving out not giving up, the time we can't forsakeLove is like the lonely frogWho bleats his message in the fogAnd crosses lines that slay him deadLike thoughts from long ago

I Could Hold You Forever

You smelled like fresh, warm bread, the lingering soap scent surroundedyour hair like a haloYour teeth gleamed brightly in the morning sun, welcoming me to a newdayYour eyes beckoned to me to come and lie with youHold you forever

But alas the bigness of our world pulled us apart, breaking the magneticlock of our loveCalling us to do very unimportant things with very ordinary peopleDrawing out our goodness instead of letting beauty flow inThrough the portals of our trembling hearts

But deep inside of me your scent echoes, residesI can conjure it up at will, in the blink of an eye you stand before meLike fresh, warm breadJust out of the oven
