would we?

love had us in a trance

would we do it again
if given the chance

would we risk it again
just to dance the dance

love has us in a trance

still

and
always
will

this crimson vessel...

heart’s so full

of dark gray clouds

got me in its pull

wanna scream out loud

                       

but sound don’t come
to a heart heavy as mine
thoughts turned numb
stayin’ alive just to pine

seems the skies above
feel the same bleak way
weepin’ my loss of love
drippin’ sadness night and day

rains come down
deep into my soul
so ‘fraid i’m gonna drown
and it stings me so

trickles down thru my flesh
strippin’ ‘way all that’s left
leavin’ nothin’ but an empty mess
like a sinister theft

hurricane winds of despair
leavin’ my mind tossed about
can’t rebuild can’t repair
this crimson vessel
full of doubt
.
.
.
.
.
 

deep within...

my want of
you
lies deep
deep within
too deep
within
to let loose
the salty tears
leaving trails
of all my fears
stuck deep
deep within
too deep
within
 

my want of
you

bello d'oro...

sometimes in the light of day
i see your face in the most unusual way

sometimes in the dark of night
i feel your touch in the most usual way

sometimes in the here and now
i recall that you are no longer here

now

slipping softly...

slip your way softly

into my sleep

make your way there

ever so deep

then seal my dreams

with your sweet kiss

and let’s our love reminisce

 

 

 

if i go away...

if i go away
if i stay away

will you love me
still

come what may

for my heart will stay
      
if i go away
if i stay away

because
i love you

still

and

i

always

will

your words...

your words
somehow 
have slipped 
into my own shadows 
capturing all that is there
including the tears

livin' our love...

we lived our love
the way we wanted to
and listened naught
to what those others do

we loved our love
the way we needed to
and listened most
to our own hearts’ ado

come lay with me

until my heart is filled

with you

come

lay with me

in dreams...

 i taste you

still

then love me here...

if you cannot love me there
there
in the land of life and breath
then love me here
here
in the land of indigo blood
and velum flesh

here
where your caresses
scorch this parchment skin
here
where your lips
meet mine in crimson slips
here
where words unspoken
are screamed in paper dreams

here
on this paper
where the ink flows
like the rivers run
to my heart

 

here

feel me cry...

do you feel me cry

in the day
from this dark place

i hide in sin
and ache to find

my way back in

where love alone

has its way

do you feel me cry

in the night

from this deep place

i hide in woe

where whispers

wrap me head to toe
and angels

spread their wings

in flight
.

do you feel me cry
.
.

love unlived...

you penetrate my dreams
permeate my silent screams
and glide into the ancient streams
                    
where love holds always your invite
and darkness holds its secrets tight
but like the wind regrets take flight

what has happened to my sight
did vision die without the light
and leave me now to this sad plight

nothing is as it seems
nothing left to redeem

when will it ever end
when will it ever end

never
he whispers
never

ever.

to speak...

you speak to me

in words of painted fire
the flame to my desire
lay me now on that pyre
and take my love entire

you move in me
  with words of liquid red
  and nothing left unsaid

fire in the night
sky burnin’ bright
you my heart ignite
till the mornin’ light 

 

you speak to me

your aphrodite
