SHIMMERING WHISPERS RIDING ON THE WIND
AND A LABOURED BREATHE
FOR I HAVE SINNED
LIGHT A CANDLE IN THE DARKENED ROOM
TO SHOW ME THE WAY
FROM THIS GLOOM AND DOOM
STOLEN KISSES FROM A LOVERS MOUTH
SHOW ME HOW
WHICH WAY IS OUT?
CHILDREN'S' LAUGHTER AND A BABY'S CRY
PLEASE, NO GOD
I DON'T WANT TO DIE.
GOLDEN LEAVES ON THE GROUND DO SCATTER
AUTUMN WINDS CARRY THEM
TO WHERE
DOE'S IT MATTER?
LIFE ON EARTH IS OH SO SHORT
IN HEAVEN ON HIGH
SOON
NO CHOICE
ONE'S TO REPORT.
GHOSTS OF A LONG TIME PAST
HAVE COME TO HAUNT
FLOATING HITHER AND TITHER
IN MY MINDS EYE
FLASHINGS OF LIFE
ONLY TO FLAUNT.
SWALLOWED UP
GONE BY
THE YESTERDAY
GOOD BYE, MY LOVES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS
SO MANY WORDS LEFT DORMANT
AND UNSAID
MAY THIS WORLD SHOW YOU LOVE AND PEACE
FOR NOW I GO
MY LIFE
HAS OUTRUN IT'S LEASE.
"My Destiny Lead Me"
March 30. 1997©
Gaze lovingly into my eyes
As your fingertips gently caress
The contours of my face, my neck,
My shoulders, my breast
Gently enfold me in your arms
And press your lips to mine
and mingle our kisses
With gasps of breath
Hold me close in naked splendor
As you whisper words of love
I long to hear
Hold my hand and my passion claim
Lay me down on petals rare
And indulge me in the pleasures
of ultimate paradise, embraced
Take me my gentle Eros
As we explore
Our inner sensuality
For only you and I can share
Love
My destiny lead me.
"EFFIGY"
© April 25 1997
Did I conceive you,
an Effigy
to captivate my heart
Dare I ponder this,
lovers, you and me.
Stand still, my heart.
Burning desires aching,
real in my chest.
Vast seas, distance shores
Separate
looming passions
and thumping hearts
as you pledge love for me.
Searching in dreams,
dreams half forgotten
half awakened
in restless sleep.
And secrets
illusions
kept from open eyes
Dare I too, utter this crux,
conflicting torture,
my mind
stealth
Enslaved, oh my effigy.
