o' holy grace...

whispers of your shadow sweep 'cross my lonely face
takin' me to that other place
the place of blood red moons
where stars come out at noon
and mornin's go to bed
with nothin' left unsaid

shadows of your whispers sweep 'cross my lovin' face
takin' me to that other place

 

the place of
holy grace

.

.

.

the web of woe...

a web of their own they did weave
when first they loved and did deceive
for love was not theirs to conceive
they gave no thought to those who’d grieve
and lose their light from that night’s deed
a web of woe did they weave
when first they loved and did deceive

.

.

.

where none could see...

in our hearts where none could see

our love was free - free to be
bursting shoving upward it did soar
to the gods we begged for more
but
like this frigid mount of heavenly blue

hidden from all who viewed
under the deep vast sweep
our love
did we
keep

.

i remember you...

i remember you...

where was it?       
i cannot remember the place
when long ago a minute or so
i first saw your face

but i cannot forget you
the way your eyes touched my soul
with never a spoken word
and made me feel once whole
i cannot forget you
the way your smile caressed my heart
with never the touch of hand
i knew we ne’er would part


~
               

two broken hearts...

 






in that moment of time stood still
in the silence of my screaming heart                      
i felt the sting of satan’s will
when from our love i did depart

and so i live in darkness void
where day is night and night is dead
with both our hearts now destroyed
and nothing left to be said

since from our love i did depart

leaving behind two broken hearts

the vault...

the sealed vault my life has become

when to your touch i did succumb

dark chambers brimmed with love un-lived

acts done acts not done to forgive 

lost in moments of love supreme

savage screams from yesterdays dreams

.

.

.

the etching...

the night i etched your name
    upon my heart
i knew in that first kiss
    that fate would have us part
but not before love came
    and put the dark to rest
to lay us down deep entwined
    your hand upon my breast

lost...

how deep the skies

how deep our love

how lost my heart
~

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

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

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

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!]

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

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?

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
