the game...

we both knew the game
it wasn’t gonna be tame

we both knew the rules
we weren’t no fools

but when the game did end
with what could we defend

both our hearts   
our weakest parts
 

lay broken and blue
in a blood-filled pool

but we both knew the rules

would you like to hear  these words spoken?

in dreams.....

you move me 

in dreams of liquid red

nothing left unsaid

would you like to hear these words spoken?

we both knew...

we both knew there’d be a day
when i would go away
that i could never stay
i’d have to go my way
the sun held at bay
and night would come to stay
the stars no longer shine
and cry you are no longer mine
since i went away

but my love with you stays

always

.

.

would you like to hear the words spoken?

together forever...

 

on nights that wept for love
for what could never be
the tears of the night
fell softly from the skies
trickling down upon the
earthen bed of lovers lost 
who in the light of day

love would betray


lovers who now would be

together forever

the calling.....

i hide behind these thick thick walls
to save myself from all those falls
when love comes knockin’
and i hear its sweet sweet calls

the world of pearls...

remnants of shattered dreams drifted round her like so many strands of broken pearls

pearls that no longer had a string

pearls that had long since lost their effervescence

lackluster balls no longer a part of anything whole

these streams of yesterday’s dreams drifted to the splintered floor of her life empty without him
daylight became just another torture to be endured
countless hours of pretend in that world of if only called reality

and night

night alone in her dream world of him

night

the burning hellfire and brimstone scratched from the pulpit of her southern baptist childhood

night when all else was shut out by the darkness she had come to love

darkness hiding the sins of her heart

the lust of her soul
darkness where she became who she was

where she was no longer alone

but with her thoughts of him

of them

darkness where all sins committed were well worth the price of admission

yes

nights when memories held her close

caressed her heart

whispered softly into her ear

nights where dreams were the playground of their desire

their love acted out
love acted out under moons apart

and lives apart

her

in the dreamworld of broken pearls
him

in that other world

the world of reality


would you like to listen to the words?

and i feel it still...

 















in the silence of the stars

spilling from the skies
in the blue indigo of your crying eyes

in the crimson tide of time stood still
when of my own free will

i turned and walked away
that cold dark day

i felt the sound of your heart break
when our love i did forsake

and

i feel it still

...........................................................................

lost...

how deep the skies

how deep our love

how lost my heart
~

the stars more brightly shine...

i dream of you in velvet streams
tied with my heart’s own strings
so take this, take this little bag of love
unloose it now to the heavens above
and see the stars more brightly shine
for all my love is thine

 

only thine
and thine alone

.

.

.

still...

 your eyes enslave me

still

 

in dreams of moonbeams...

at night when i close my eyes

and you are there deep inside

you bring me back to where i wanna be

back to where we both were free

 

 in dreams

 and
golden
moonbeams

the liquid sleep...

moonlight spilled onto her skin

seeping its way to her heart again

 filling her sleep with its liquid gold

keeping her safe from the dreary cold

of nights no longer warmed by him

and days no longer light but dim

.

.

. 

the sound...

the sound of silence

deafening to my heart

since we're apart
.
.
.

way down deep...

where do you hide your love for me

way down deep in the deep blue sea

way down deep

in your deep blue eyes

deeper deep than the heaven’s skies

i know where you hide your love for me

way

down

deep

sins of the heart...

what sin is it we did commit

which of our acts must we repent

that fate conspires to tear apart

the gods alone should love impart

that though our hearts beat true as one

we may not love till life is done

what sin is it

our hearts commit

thoughts in blue...

the thought of him and

her heart quickened its beat

the thought of him and

her soul dissolved in heat

the thought of him

now her only feat

the thought of him

she was no longer her

she had become

the thought of him

.

.

.

a one act play...

.

.

.

and he -

he sat

his back away from her

his eyes cast down into eternity

he could not bear to look

their hearts were open books

and she -

she stood

her back away from him

her eyes cast up into eternity

he knew his life before had stopped – had come to final rest

his head held captive ‘tween her creamy breasts

and  he

he succumbed to his longing heart as he sat there

her fingers wandering through his thick thick hair

and she –

she smiled

her eyes cast up into eternity

.

.

.

she tried it all...

she tried it all

to fill it up

to fill it in

all those empty spaces

all that life wasted

where to begin

in time with no end

arms that held her tight

held her close through the night

lips that kissed her own

but none of them were home

where was her heart

since they were apart

she tried it all

to fill it up

to fill it in

she tried it all

.

.

and now?

and what of you when she went away

when she slipped from view that cold dark day

did a part of her remain perchance

remnant of your swirling shadow dance

and what of you when she came back not

when she slipped from you in a loose lover’s knot

did a piece of her lodge in your heart

remnant of your mind’s work of art

and what of you now since she’s been gone

when with her she took your brilliant dawn

and what of her since she slipped from sight

when with you she left her beloved night

and what of her since she went away

when from you she left ‘fore judgment day

and what of you

and what of her

now

now

that she’s

gone

and

you're

both

all

alone

what of you

what of her

.

.

.

the sun burned my flesh today...

 i thought it was

your kiss

.
