wishin' you love and blood red moons in 2011...

blood
red
moon
in midnight black 
touching you
touching me 
blood in the moon
love gone too soon
tears in my heart
why did we part

blood
red
moon 
in velvet light
kissing you
kissing me
blood in the moon
cries love’s tune
sadness to stay
and we both pay

wish i might
have my wish
come true this night
of

blood
red
moon

the tactic...

from you

there was
no thief

in the night
sneaking without sound
into the dark
that was my life

stealing
slowly
surely
my love

no
from you
there was
the barging in
the raging stampede
the complete attack
holding unspeakable ransom
in one swift swoop

leaving no option
but
the total surrender

of my heart

.

to be with you...

all

i

gotta

do

to

be

with

you

just

close

my

eyes
and
the
world
deny

do you...

do you think
of any other
save for me

do you see
the other
and think of me

do you hold
another and
feel only me

do you kiss
the other lips
but taste my own

do you cry
her name aloud
but hear just mine

does your body
find distasteful
all but ...
mine

i know -
because i do
you, too...

[i know, a re-post - enjoy again!]

THINKING OF YOU...

 DURING THIS TIME OF 

ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS - 

YOUR PRESENCE AT MY LITTLE CAMPFIRES 

MAKES THE JOURNEY

SO MUCH BRIGHTER AND WARMER 

AND I AM HONORED

TO HAVE YOUR FRIENDSHIP!

WISHING YOU AND YOURS

PEACE AND LOVE

atonement...

littered with memory’s remains

days fill with my heart’s black rain
 

nights now bound in love’s cold chains
 

life goes on the gods ordain

life without you lived in vain

you are...

my river run calm

my gilead's balm

you...

without you...

'nother

day

of

heart

beatin’

blues

ain’t

got

nothin

not

even

no

clues

days

all

dark

and

nights

darker

too
 

wish

i

knew

what

i’as

gonna

do

can’t

do

nothin'

without

you

heart beatin’ blues
 

 without
you

he dared...

to ripple my lake -

yes

he

did!

my love true...

i been an awful lotta places
kissed all kinds’a  handsome faces
even found one i thought was for me
but i ain’t neva been where i’m ‘sposed to be

till I got to you
my love true

shadow love...

they saw confinement

i felt contentment

they saw withdrawal
i was 

within
they saw

 slavery
i became 

free
they saw 

what they saw

i stayed

 me

ghost love...

when you reach out in the night
and search for me
with all your might
then call my name in vain
does it really feel the same

with her?

i surrender...

i have fought far too long
etching memories into my heart
storing them safely
to take them down from
the shelf of what was
to hold them still to caress them
to sniff the fragrance of their time
a time when life was
when love was
when i was
when we were
fearing life unbearable
without the flavor of their reality
i have fought far too long
keeping them alive
keeping them at the surface
of the waters of my mind
where they could remain forever
cellularly connected to the me of me
so that my soul might still survive
the dankness and darkness of
the nothingness of now
the now without you
the now without us
and therefore, the now without me
for what can remain of me
when that part of me that
completed me is gone
is no longer with me
no longer beside me
no longer in me
leaving this
nothingness of now
this absence this void
i have fought far too long
yes, it is true
so now - now -
now - i surrender
i surrender me
i surrender all that was
all that could have been
that should have been
that never can be again
i surrender all
else how might i go on
how might you continue
each not living while alive
each choosing death by life
so i surrender
to love to passion to life
i surrender to us
i shall choose to live
for us both
you there and me here
smiling for what was
weeping not
for what cannot be
yes, i surrender -
i surrender to the
magnificence of now

the magnificence

the now
of love’s holy memories

feelin' the light...

come with me out of control 

into the chaos
through the ambivalence
into the LUSTLIGHT 

come with me

held prisoner...

your eyes captivate

your heart navigates

my own

do you feel it.....

listen to the beating of my heart - 

does it my love to you impart 

listen to the beating of my heart -

it was yours from the start

listen to the words of my beating heart -

 do you hear it say we’ll never part

listen to the tears of my beating heart -

do you feel it crying in the dark
   
listen to the sounds of my beating heart - 

do you feel it ripping apart

listen to the beating of my heart -

can you hear it from afar

as honor does now

our love thwart

special request for addresses...real communications for 2011

greetings, dear friends - to those who have not already received this message from me via email today - just this morning, one of my dear blogging friends in ireland posted a request for his BFs' home addresses so that he might send each of us a xmas card this year - it seems that in ireland, one does not send out xmas cards in the year in which a family member has passed on, as he had this past year - so, for this year, he wanted to send as many as possible - the whole thing of holiday cards took me right down memory lane to all the wonderful cards i received all my life, until the virtual world made such handwritten cards almost obsolete -

and so it is that i thought what a wonderful thing it would be for the NEW YEAR of 2011 - to send each of you a "real" card to your "real" home in the "real" world - hence, my request for your "real" address so that i might let you know i'm thinking of you with the new year!

livin' and driftin'...

livin' a life of what never can be

driftin' alone in a storm tossed sea

thoughts of you all that i need

time cannot fade...

 memories of

you

buon compleanno - il mio vincent bella d'oro -

fire dance...

me

a touch of the blues...

i have a touch of the blues today

what can i say
i have a touch of the blues every day
since i’ve gone away
everything’s all askew

without you
without your touch
i miss you so much

the kiss of the spinx...

come slip inside my silent sleep
and die your life in my own keep
then live your death in love's sweet heat

once upon a velvet dream...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 in my heart

of cherry cream
where stars swim

their way upstream
and love cries out

in silent screams

there was you

in dreams...

she could feel his heart beat
in all her dreams of kisses deep

and in her heart she would keep
her dreams of when they’d meet

but it would all end in love’s defeat

when your eyes meet mine...

it is as if

we are making love

the choice...

day by day she chose to stay
locked inside her heart at bay

clad in hopes long gone dry
wonderin’ why she even tried
she dressed in dreams
all sewn up with lonely seams

night by night she chose to pray
for one more kiss one more day

i disappear...

 into

you

pas de deux...

 pieces of me

left just to be

p i e c e s

without

you

no longer two

deep water dreams...

 

i cry myself to sleep
and dream in waters deep

you are not mine to keep

i know that...

 you love me

but

do you

forgive me?

windblown love...

 wrapped in wisps of windblown time
whispers of love from my heart’s shrine
cast away
day by day

the space between...

you come
to me
in between
in between the words
in the spaces
before the period and after the capped first word
weaving your way in and out among verbs of action
wandering through adverbs of love defined love described
you come
to me
in the soft subtle flow of indigo thoughts
showing yourself
unveiling yourself
feeling yourself
feeling me
in indelible ink from your glorious staff
you come
to me
in words
in thoughts
in feelings

you
come

to 

me

in

between

just...

 dance me

i ask you...

what

am

i

to

do

for

want

of

you

vasana...

in another time
another place
another life
i knew your smell
your scent
your vasana  
karmic fragments floating
through time
tracing memories
memories of love
of lust
of spirit
of you
into the now
your scent
lingers still
still deep in my heart
in this time
this place
this life
this you
as i will carry it
into
the next time
the next place
the next life
the next
you

homage to love and klimt...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think of the love of mine
and am immobilized
my heart crystallized
in just one kiss of time

~ ~ ~

on

gossamer

wings

in 

silent

flight
the

moon

flew

her

to

him
in

dreams

of

golden

 

 

 

liquid nights
~ ~ ~

 

 

once upon a velvet dream
in a heart of red cherry cream
where stars swim their way upstream
and love cries out in silent screams

there was you
~ ~ ~

 

 

 

 

 

 

i feel your eyes   
with no disguise
caress my longing heart
it is then at love’s bequest
we come together never part
and sweet sweet death
comes for me

floating in that crimson sea
~ ~ ~

 

come swim with me
in silent streams
of love’s soft dreams

~ ~ ~
