THE OCEAN AS BLUE AS MY HEART

I was alone inside my skin
until I met you
then again;
you always were with me

And we walk across light
tripping along the stones
called life
that we all know

Oh, so I caught your smile
in the shade of a bright full moon
you called me out
invited, I went in

“Hours into days!” we said
Love-like lightening I saw
Then thunder as our song!

Words a train began express
So caught up in all your soul
love wash away all my sins

it’s tears of joy  under my Sun
life as I never knew began
when a childSoul & still alone

Life has a beginning it’s sweet
Laced with the lips I breezeTasted
So I  kiss you again & again

Hours into days we said
Each moment we won’t waste
Heartbeats beating along the way

ATOMIC SMILE

You have a wonderful smile…
atomic…The light of a sunset
before it explodes across the horizon

QUITO, ECUADOR

Quito sing the song of my heart!
Between your mountain ranges
the air is light — so high you are!

I watch the lights at night’s fall
Basillica Del Voto in all her grandeur
Sweet Ecuador holds you so dear!

You were born upon the ruins
of an ancient Inca city
I lay my soul at your feet

Sing to me my Andean highlands
Kiss me with your ancient lore
dust my lips — so gently close my eyes
::::


FALLS IN LOVE

My love affair so ineffable
surely description falls
as gently as the leaves

Like rich hot chocolate
you cover in color
the ground – a blanket of leaves

Soothing – so active a sound
of trembling acorns
that plunk across the roof —

Life, like the taste of apple
that covers cinnamom sticks…

My farm — this life has tilled
the spirit of a certain few
so touched am I — even thrilled

But no thing comes close
to the apparel of mother nature
on any day — in her autumn regal

DREAM OF PAST LIFE WITH YOU

IN MY sleep I saw your face
as though in my waking hours
when I saw your face
and knew it could not be
that this feeling was a dream
something imagined or unreal
 
You were riding upon Glory
a horse I called after a mother
whom had died centuries ago
and within my heart I saw you go
across the fields of wheat like gold
braided hair and rosy skin
 
An air of nobility across your face
and in the misty distance lay a castle
something strong and solid in stance
Across from which appeared a moat
and then you called, when you turned your head
a name called Chace…and I went
 
Trotting across the swaying fields
and below a flowing waterfall
Glory drank upon the dancing stream
as we gathered moss and petal for bed
there, in heaven’s domain we embraced
and bonded against a song from angel’s breath
::::


DREAM OF LOVE

I dreamed of love within my dream
So quietly I did for fear
That the powers of darkness
Might steal my love

Within my dream you were there
My love you were there
No other beauty can compare

Together we shared this fear
And vowed to keep our hands
Entwined now and forever more

And now I am awake my love
And darkness is kept at bay
The warmth of your kiss still alive
::::


COLD BLUE NILE

I DON’T pretend to know the true reasons…   
for your painless and untimely passing
 
Perhaps it’s a choosing of your very own…   
from birth to life and gold crested tomb
 
Your blood flows through the Nile   
in blue scarf and flowing lace   
a scarab traces your fingertips
 
I don’t intend to shift the drifting sands   
that pulse within this great desert land   
the bitterness of your love is sweet and dry   
A baked nectar in sun-drenched skies
 
The desert rose has fallen ill   
a pale rider grins and rings the bell   
And crimson ozone burns and smells   
As moisture beads glisten in hell
 
You were the Queen of Egypt in my land   
untold lovers you slept with now lay in sand   
But the gods of love and war now smile in peace   
Since you’ve turned cold from a Blue Nile death  


MIST OF LIES

MIST OF LIES

IN my eyes I decrie
fields of lost lust
in the mist of lies
I say yes –
You say no
I realize the issue
it depends upon the life
you have lived in this skin

but you must know – trust me now
those who you’ve trusted
surely want your saddness — how?
live a life unfulfilled is how
they will smirk and smile away
and take your sorrow to the bank
accounts full of red and sorrow

Wash away your sorrows
sing a praise to the sun
forgo the darkness it knows
dark and damp steal away
my prayer will show you the way

Wash away…
wash away your sins
and bring me the love I need…

Wash away…
wash away your sins
and sing to me your song of love..

DRIFTS OF MOTES

YOU took me — away
from all of this
madness today
   just to say that…

You know me
and want much more
from my heart
   just feed on the sores

I’m upside down now
inside and out of sound
follow the broken notes
   killing time to save mind

I’m upside down now
without sound and rhythm
sing to me in drifts of motes
   riffs twisting minor notes
::::


SECOND SPRING

IT was upon the burst of autumn
    those explosions of colour
when your spirit and body
    seeped into my empty soul
Autumn, the second spring for me now
    my heart — a blooming flower
My soul before your grace embraced
    a bare branch against the wind
N’ver believing this river again would flow
    frozen before I met your lovely face
So delicious your autumn spring of spice
    each bare leaf a swollen flower
I tremble in your presence as you sway
    upon my rock this and every day
