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
