Once I saw a rainbow above the ocean blue,
Encompassed by a shadow
Of every color and every hue.
It was a large rainbow
Most beautiful to see,
and underneath the rainbow
was nothing but the sea.
I think it was a message
Quite old, and yet still new,
It takes both rain and sunshine
To make the lovely view.
As we go along life's highway
A lot of rain must fall.
But we can find the rainbow
When the sun shines over all.
The world is dark... there is nothing.
Walking through this Abyss, I am alone.
With none beside me, I Feel lost.
I search endlessly in my Abyss for something, anything to bring me Joy.
Nothing is found, and to my Throne of Pain I return.
I grasp the Sceptre of Sorrow and claim my Seat once more...
In the distance a brilliant light flickers.
Casting aside the Sceptre I rise and step down from the Throne.
The Light resolves itself as an Angel.
Her face hidden, she has the most stunning wings hanging majesticly from her back.
I call out to her in wonder.
She raises her face and time crashes.
Her beautiful face makes my heart ache, staring into her eyes, my heart is overcome by a warmth to invoke the jealousy of Sol.
She stands before me, and I stand lost in her Beauty.
She smiles at me shyly and then laughes when my face warms.
She smiles once more and pulls her hand out of her cloak.
In her hands is a orb that appears to be made of water.
The center of the ball seems to emit a dark yet brilliant light.
Upon closer inspection, I see that in the center of the orb, is a miniature heart.
She smiles and holds to beautiful orb out to me.
She answers my confused look by stepping forward and locking me in a warm embrace.
As she pulls herself from my arms, she leans forward and gently caresses my lips with hers.
Warmth spreads from my lips throughout my body and seems to contract into my heart.
She once more offers The orb to me, And I understand this time...
I understand that this Beautiful woman before me is offering me here love..
And All she asks in return is mine...
I will spend all of eternity and then more to return it to her.
You are my heaven
the flower petals in your eyes
the ocean in your arms
the jewels in your heart
everything precious
everything tender
every night with you
is a dream
you are my heaven
The silence of thunder, the darkness of lightening,
Her mystery, her intrigue , so very inviting.
Before you, she looks in your eyes silver-blue,
Searching and seeking to find all that's true.
She knows in a second, with only a glance -
because she will leave nothing to chance..
Her fingers slowly caress your jaw
along it's strong outline, She sighs ......
her rythmic breathing slows ... ...
her body pressing up against yours so fine.
Every inch of both bodies awakes a birth new,
this is us ... this is me ... this is you.
I see a lady on the sand,
skin so soft, a perfect tan.
Curves like waves that smack the shore,
her beauty makes a sailor roar.
Long hair sparkling in the sun,
I see her smile and am undone.
Eyes shut tight, asleep like a lamb,
I think that I could be her man.
When she wakes and looks at the moon,
I will serenade her with a tune.
Destiny....it is that passionate pursuit...
It is that most wonderful and painful sense...
It is that ideal that echoes in your mind...
"This is what you are Made for"
Destiny...it is that voice that haunts you...
That tells you "Do not stop here"
That tells you "You are not finished yet"
That tells you "There is more..."
Destiny ...it will not release you...
It will not let you rest...
It will not let you be satisfied...
It will not share you with any mediocrity...
Destiny...it forever retains the shape of your soul..
The shape of your gifts...
The shape of your passion...
The shape of your contribution...
Destiny...it will not be quenched without you...
You must give yourself over to it...
You must rest the whole weight of your soul upon it...
You must let it carry you and take you where you could never go with out it...
Love is a strange and beautiful thing,
It spans time and space, distance is no object to love.
You will wait forever for the one you love,
Travel wherever you need to be with them.
When you are in the arms of the one you love,
That love can make a moment last a lifetime,
Yet make a lifetime seem no more than a moment.
When love is distant it grows strong,
When it returns it flowers.
People crave it, strive for it, fight for it, and die for it,
And when they find it, they know they are complete.
For in the arms of the one we love is wholeness,
Belief, completeness, passion, and security.
The one we love is someone for whom we would do anything,
And never ask for anything in return.
It produces a love of all that person is and will ever be,
Regardless of what that may mean to me.
Love knows that when you are away, That you are still loved, cherished, thought after, and missed
By the one you love,
And they know that you love them back.
That is Love.
She hid in the shadows, Slept naked in warm
Twilight grass, Under a silvery blue Moon,
She closed her eyes - And beckoned me again,
There was a fire where she lied,
Tell me do you have love In your eyes?
Don't answer and take my hand astride
Let's slip away from a world gone awry,
I'll ask no question for tomorrow we could die,
The milky mist cleared, missing was the one,
Who beckoned me dear, no longer I can see
Where she has gone? Here comes the singing
Of blues alone, Where neither lover
Rules for long, But there's a sadly gong,
No one belongs, love lost is a prophet's Deity song.
Yet she beckons me!
"Raindrops Raindrops
Are such funny things.
They haven't feet or haven't wings.
Yet they sail through the air
With the greatest of ease,
And dance on the street
Wherever they please."
Morning breaks the spell of night
like the quiet approach of death
but there is peace upon the land
before the jolt awake.
It is a jolt to mind, heart, soul,
when the return from sleep
lands one in the deep end
of life's cauldron of desire.
Desire bubbles on the earthly plane
beneath a calm facade
and beneath the choices made
that render us immobile.
Sometimes desire tickles me
with its outrageous needs
until laughter brings the tears
that propagate dismay.
Desire, you see, no bedfellow
to the happiness in me
because it always pulls the covers off
and leaves me shivering.
"Hello, Desire" and desire merely smiles
the wicked smile of one who knows
it's programmed not to leave
until the spell of night
settles in to daylight hours!
One day perhaps when love finds its voice
it will speak a language without any words
but all who stand by will well understand
each inflection and nuance and each syllable.
It's a language renowned for simplicity,
for clarity and complete honesty
and it's beautiful really in its own way
made up as it is quite naturally.
I love you, I do, hear it now, for soon,
silence will descend
My love is like the sun that warms me when I am cold,
And like the cool water of the brook that refreshes me.
My love knows the secret pleasures of my soul,
And delights with me in fulfilling them.
Who is my love but the soul of my soul,
And the reason for every beat of my heart.
Who fills me with life in the joy of her presence,
And returns to me more than I have given.
Come to me, my love, I die without you.
Each day is eternity, waiting for your touch.
Remove the tears from my eyes and the ache in my heart,
Be closer than my breath, all my days, all my nights.
She delved in the corners, searched the blue sky,
dug holes in the dirt, and surveyed the air
but there was no magic in sparkling display
to draw from within her innate fantasy.
She remembers it well for she made it all up
from wishes and needs and amazing dreams
then buried it deep but not deep enough.
Fantasy dies by the will of the mind
and it's the exchange of energy
that makes the minds awesome magic
dead and dreary, miserable, spent,
unable to ever again fantasize you
into being undeniably real!
When the flowers dance with morning breeze
My beloved gives me a hug with tight squeeze
Sensibility of affection gives such subtle balms
When you snugly take me in your beautiful arms
My heart flies away like a rose petal
Wafting in the air in an entranced waddle
In my heart love oozes through deepest fjords
Rests my heart and soul, where pure love flows
I am so protected from savage worldly blows
As if being loved and cared with all the cures
In your arms I feel so comforting and say
Promise to hold me forever, never go away
You melt me down with your tender embrace
Under the moonlight, distant stars, and craze
I close my eyes and feel the romantic touch
could not hold to say that I love you so much.
Your heart is free wild and forever untamed
never knows what to do your love soars...
an eagle, flying anywhere it wants to go ...
but not here.
my tears are tumbling for distance between
us is far too great and your wings cannot
reach you cannot see the love in my eyes
and so you fly away ...to a love that you can feel.
if i was there... would you build a nest with me?
if you could reach me would you fly into my arms?
your heart is free and until i am there, ...
there's nothing i can do.
there will come a day when i am there to hold you
and kiss you when you're cold
when i am there for you to keep,
will your love still fly about
looking for a different nest?
or will you find a home in me?
my heart remains open and i have nowhere to fly
so when our time arrives oh won't you please fly to me?
fly to me, stay with me never leave my loving arms...
i'll let you fly, if that's your desire but i pray that once with me,
you'll never leave... just promise your heart will stay with me.
my love is forever yours and will never fly away.
You kissed me!
My head drooped low on your breast
With a feeling of shelter and infinite rest,
While the holy emotions my tongue dared not speak,
Flashed up as in flame, from my heart to my cheek;
Your arms held me fast; oh! your arms were so bold --
Heart beat against heart in their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing my soul through mine eyes,
As the sun draws the mist form the sea to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine till I prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp from the rapturous kiss.
Speak to me of tenderness, That lingers in your hands;
Reflecting there the beauty, That lies deep within the man.
Speak to me of passion, In a lover's soft caress;
Like dancing springtime breezes, Filled with gentleness.
Speak to me of longing, Planted deep within a soul;
The aching need for ecstasy, That a lover's touch makes whole.
Speak to me of whispers, Falling on a lover's ear;
Words that fill the emptiness, Of a heart that longed to hear.
Speak to me of blossoms, That are kissed by morning dew;
And I will show you beauty, That is seen, my love, in you.
We lie in each others arms eyes shut and fingers open
and all the colors of the world pass through our bodies
like strings of fire.
They sat for a while by the canal in Cologne
and considered quietly their first altercation,
in person that is having gone quiet
at times in phone conversations.
A hand reached out seeking contact
with another and they forgot what
was wrong watching the boats drift past.
Looking out of the window, staring out in the sun,
She longs for the meaning of life...
Outside her walls, How she longs to pluck
up a flower and dine in its fragrance.
But still she sits, on her own very chair,
Afraid of her very own garden.
Should she creep off her chair?
No, she must sit, she is afraid, -
she'll have tomorrow for her garden.
Let us not underestimate the power of hope.
No matter how fleeting its life, It offers to us
the most convincing And fulfilling power.
Hope is sweet. Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling. Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope
Even in the sunset of your life.
The gates of heaven open I see a beautiful lady walking
I watch her from my bedroom window
I hear the birds talking
Why do I sing this loving song?
Your blonde hair blowing away my fears
I gaze at your face, and you shed a tear
I will take you to a place filled with secrets.
I wish to kiss those enchanted lips
I crave to hold those two miraculous hands
And whisper into your ear Touch your soft beautiful face
and Tell you why today we are in this place,
I will take away all the pain and sorrow and,
We shall meet again tomorrow I wake up from this daydream . . .
How I wish...we have the same destiny...
My velvet brush dips deep and lingers there
in the warm inkwell of your endless desire
the ink of passion flows for me tonight
so I may show you how It feels my muse
to be so truly needed by an ardent lover
I hunger to write poems of love's power
upon the warm supple parchment of your skin
secret words that only you can comprehend
till my brush runs dry and I return to dip again
in ink made by god for the calligraphy of desire
THE WARMTH WITHIN
touch me with your hand my dear
pull me close against your chest
hold me in your arms my dear
your heartbeat giving me rest
let my hands my dear caress your skin
feeling the warmth my dear the warmth within
Looking into your eyes
I felt myself falling in love with you
You said I love you....and I did too.
We went to our very own special spot
For no real reason at all
We sat and talked and looked at one another
And then the rain began to fall
We could have just left as quick as we came
But no, you wanted to stay in the rain.
You asked me a question I'll never forget
Have you ever tasted raindrops?
I looked at you funny and you gave me a sigh
The cutest of looks, as I wondered," why"?
Why, did you ask me to taste the rain?
Really, what did have to loose or to gain?
So, I watched you with a careful eye,
And did the same as you
You were looking up at the cloudy sky
But my eyes fixed on you like glue
I lifted my head to look at the sky
And closed my eyes really tight,
Just as I thought I'd caught a raindrop
You suddenly held me tight
I opened my eyes with slight alarm,
As you kissed me soft and sweet,
I remember that kiss like it was yesterday
can still feel raindrops on my cheek.
I tasted the raindrops like never before,
It was worth every second of bliss,
Every time I think of that moment
I think of my raindrop kiss
We sat close together on that one special rock
And we held each other tight,
Then almost as suddenly as it came...
The rain stopped, and became night
The most beautiful colors I've ever seen
Came out on the western sky,
The sun was setting and the moment was perfect
A moment money cannot buy
As the sun slowly set and the sky lit up
You began carving our names in our rock,
I told you I 'll never forget this moment
In my heart this memory is locked
As our names were finished and permanently engraved
We watched the sun finish its day
We slowly got up to leave this place
Which was a year ago this May
I haven't been to that spot in a year
Where did all the time go?
I will visit this place alone this time
And I will finally let you go
This memory will be in my heart forever
But you will not remain in my mind,
I don't know if that love, will be seen again
For that love- I cannot find
I will go to this spot as we promised we would
But you will not be there this time
Why is it that you can't keep your promise?
I know that I'm keeping mine
Never again will I taste the raindrops
The way I did with you,
And when I go to this spot again
I will say goodbye to you.
I wish that I could wrap up
all the love and Holiday cheer
That comes along with Christmas
and with New Year's every year,
I'd pack it in a pretty box, and put it on my shelf
And pull it down again each year, and give it to myself.
A good time is coming, I wish it were here,
The very best time in the whole of the year;
I'm counting each day on my fingers and thumbs-
The weeks that must pass before Santa Claus comes.
Then when the first snowflakes begin to come down,
And the wind whistles sharp and the branches are brown,
I'll not mind the cold, though my fingers it numbs,
For it brings the time nearer when Santa Claus comes.
