Shattered

A broken heart
Lays scattered;
Strewn shards of
Jagged sharp edges
Across a love
Worn field
Of egg shells
And land mines;
Clusters of time
In each piece
Mind recorded
Moments of
Loving bliss
Soul numbing
Ignorance
Overcome by
Lust;
Shattered in
Just one nano
Second

~Loves Rebirth~

'Tis easier to catch the rain-
From underneath the sky-
Then to loose the suns bright rays-
When love begins to die-

But if the rains somehow should stop-
Through perhaps natures air-stream flow-
I would take me then my rains last dropp-
And search-out Love's Elusive Rainbow-

I'd hold it fast inside of my hand-
And grasp its intoxicating hold-
Upon the wings of a white dove-
I'd search for a pot of Loves Gold-

At at the end of Sunbeams Glow-
The amber light-oh never receding-
The world now as white as driven snow-
I'd hold this for endless time-
And watch as the New Love begins to grow-

Summers Night Reality

Desire maps its scrutiny
'Round shadows lusty foreplays
Encapsulating a heated forever
In a 'Never-Ever' kind of day...

Clever contradictions they are
In our heated after-glow
Where two master lovers
Colour this sensual show...

Masters of loves illusions
Magicians of pure delight
Surrender to one another
In the swelter of this summer night!

I Love You...

Give And Take

All that i e'er wanted

Was to feel the gentle
Of your rain

To touch the velvet
Of Rose Petals

To sing Loves, sweet refrain

All that i e'er needed

Was to breathe, your name

To hear the melody
Of Your Voice

In life's, unending game

Forest Bedroom

Secure in your heated arms...
Protected from Falls plantiff chill...
Aglow in the pleasure of your face--
Flushed as the burnished leaves upon Autumns hill;

Our bed is of russet and gold--
Natures humble crinkled spread---
Encompassed by semi-balding trees...
Autumns euphoria fills my head;

The winds brisk as in this bliss i feel with you...
The colours of our love-bonfire glow...
Safe and ecstatic in Falls loving embrace...
Two hearts beat dancing-in sweet love-they grow;

Book Of Days

'Tis written in my book 'O days
In this season 'O living and sweet blooming love
Your gentle hands shall guide me on my journey
Into our promised land- so high above;
A golden leading on the path to our heaven
I am at home in a spectrum of blue
Divine and blessed beyond any question
Consecrated in a love-so true;
'Tis written in my book of days
Remembrance O' the tender warmth O' your kiss
Engraved in a promise of evermore-my darling
Aglow in true loves everlasting bliss;

Pledge

Heaven finds me smiling--
All dischord erased-
A kiss placed deliberately...
Upon your sweet-sweet face;

Loving memories to make--
In the noon days to come...
Exhilarating togetherness-
Under Spring Time Sun;

Oh so gloriously happy...
All anger it has passed--
Kissed and made up...
Formed-a love to last;

Casting out all doubt...
And green monster jealousy--
You and i-touching the sky...
Together for eternity;

I Am

I am a listener
Of a half thought about Winter mind
A writer of a half seen legacy
And a sphere of half spoken rhyme;
I am an arrow sharpened
Of Ero's love sick fool
A trembling hand-in loves quick sand
A condemned lover of the Golden Rule;
I am the pity of a thousand teardrops
Of yesterdays heartbreak and sorrow
I am the startled Bird Of Paradise
Boding omens: of no tomorrows;
I am the field of blues and purples
Of lavender and lilac-to violet hue
Growing behind fences of sheer amazement
I am the whispering of love to you;

~Upon The Other Side Of Never~

Upon the other side of never-
I wait for you...
Loving arms embracing me-
Under skies of heavenly blue...

Serenity and Heaven touched-
Together we make our nest-
Filled with amber kisses-
I know we're truly blessed...

Upon the other side of never-
I kiss your lips so sweet-
And in so doing-
We make our love complete-

Carry us a bit further on-
Past the kiss and tender touch-
Into a total consumation-
I just love you so very much...

Gone Missing

He got lost in her baby blues...
And in her twist and turn curves
He became totally rapt by the sultry of her voice
Laid down in the humidity that is loves afterglow;
When desire and necessity have been fully met
And conclusion has arrived at its goal
He was completely taken in-
By his very own-'Must have soul';

~Crowned Jewel's~

Lavender essence
Breathe's the night
Enchanting velvet
Whispers O' moonlight
Magical moments
In True Loves Design
Lavender Essence
Delicate and refined
Spreads aroma's
'Cross the sod's Dales
Purple coloured tint
Satin-like veil
Cover's the sod
With her Springtime
Renewel
The fragrance of
The flowers
God's most beloved
Crowned Jewels

Homeward Bound

It was the fragrance of Junes sweetest breeze
The visible garden of two lovers abloom
In the stillness of our forever
Borne: Of Mother Natures womb;
Cascades of rose petals and their velvet
Adorned our majestic-unmade bed
'Twas a ceremony of Summer times homeward
'Twas loves sheer magic filling our heads;

Forged In Love

Challenge my heart, most beloved
Dare, i call unto you?
For desperate passion has overtaken me
Loving you with a heart forever true;
Dressed in obvious attire
Sporting an attitude hardly tame
In the company of an astute audience
I have aimed to attain: Lifes Eternal Flame;
Love labors on oft' endlessly
Perfection of its true nature sublime
But what i have found in your amazing eyes
I am sure could carry me throughout time;
Wrapped in your endearing arms, beloved
'Tis all that i ever hoped for
I bear witness to this our pure magic
Lost inyour eyes-no one could love you more;

Until You

Emblazened in your warm embrace
Oh never let me go
So light and ethereal i do feel
Loving the you i have come to know

You swept me off of my feet
Caressed my wearied brow
Took me in from the unforgiving
Night
Embraced by the here and now

With You there are never cold days
No days feeling unloved and alone
But only heated up warm times
Our love has only grown

I thank my lucky stars
As i lay so excitedly in Your arms
Ah such sweet fate destiny 'tis
Secumbing myself to all fo Your charms

~Where Love Grows~

You woke me from my deep sleep-
All slumbered for some time~
Nestled near the shrubs of lavender-
Sound sleep it had been mine~

You ever gently seduced me-
With come-hither eyes~
No need words spoken-
Your body language~
A heart's sweet lullyabye-

Warm and gentle loving calm-
It all came over me~
Tender giving lover-
Purveyor of sweet destiny~

Together we are at last alone-
In the vale of lavender and rose~
Touching one anothers soft-
Velvet petal flesh~

Mother

Mother folds her hands
As twilight grows near
A stance almost prayer like
Before the dusk
And the ink black of night sets in
Holding ever close to her heart
To her soul
All the loves of her life
Come and gone
Silence breaks the still
As mothers hands open
To a long awaited acceptance
A requiem for yesterday
And a Novena for tomorrow

Aubade

Mystical Morning Song came whispering
It's melodious rhythmic sounds
For the spring time lays in the Garden's
Of lovers floral bouquet abed in the ground

Waiting for your happiness in your love to grow
You continue to wonder in absolute awe
While prolonging whispers of lover's musical breeze
That embraces The Spring and welcomes Winter's thaw

The warmth of the sun rays come in loves burning
Filling all nature and you with serene
Allowing all new Spring buds of love to open
Tantalizing aroma's of new memories to be made
Come the Mystical Morning Song Spring

Dedicated to: Jeri, Aka, Morning Song
With love

A Morning song is an Aubade

What Was It?

You are one of the unknown sisters of halo's
An Earth Angel who walked this Earth for 59 years and some months
Your every step-sheer grace in motion;
Your relish for life -undeniable...
Like the warm breeze caressing my summering shoulders-you come to me-
In a muted blur of gold and blue...
Radiance shining through with the sunshine that is your smile;
Your eyes coming alive-yes, alive...in sky blue
Your flaxen gold hair much like summer wheat at fruition;
What was it about you that still resides with me here today?
Was it your gentle spirit of love and forgiveness?
Or your always joy-filled soul?
Or was it all of these plus your unconditional love & enormous heart?
The tears still well up in my green eyes, daily...
Wishing that you could be here with me this day
To share a cup of coffee, a sandwich, and one of your hugs!
Thank you for loving me then and now...!
You will always be the gateway to the smiles, joy, love and laughter
Of my life...

Union

Delicate sweet rapture came knocking
Gallant O' The Galaxy-his name
Left his calling card in her door
Thus-the beginning of Loves Eternal Flame;
Inside a Lonely Soul deliberated
Overwhelmed by delicious day dreams
Recognizing his- Devil May Care
A wild man-yet Gallant Resplenant
Seeking her spirit so fair;
Theirs would be a perfect union
Ecstacy-surely their new name
Coming together-as birds of one feather
Hence, Gallant and Lonely Soul-one flame;
