In the cold
I sit alone
With myself:
Cup in my hands;
Raised it up, to invite
The sun, the moon and
My fathers, for a drink,
A drink, through the milkyway
A pause
A silence
Questions
Bewildering
Freezing cold
Teary eye
Curiosity fades -  the silence.
Come drink with me, my fathers
Come drink with me, morning sun
I seek friendship with the past
I seek wisdom with the past
I seek travelling mercies
A cup in my hands
Cold questions in my heart
Future, frozen in silence
Come drink with me, through
The many lights of the constellation,
To a future, of liquid beauty
Come drink with me,
The warnth of the    
sages, through this lean path;
Dotted with thorn piercing puzzles.
Bruised feet
Wounded hearts
Pilgrims surrender
The crown has fallen
Servants rule
Come my fathers
Come morning sun
For a drink with your son
Before I succumb to the many voices, in my ears.

When you smile.
That gleaming glow.
Let me know.
Let me know you love me so.

When you laugh.
Which in terms makes me laugh too.
That glow shines even more.

When I say, I love you.
That glow shines more than before.
But the words are true.

And that glow shines even more.

Happiness is earned and made.
No relationship should be depressed.
And it wouldn't be that way.
If people limits the mistakes they make.

Those eyes.
Which in them.
I sometimes feels the warnth coming from you.
Yes, they too high light a glow.

A glow that let me know I'm doing things right.
To keep you happy the way I should.

Notice the rays of the skies.
That's constantly compared to the eyes.

The stars.
The moon.
The sun.
Which I guess is fitting.
Because all of them.
I, also compare you too.

Where are you now
My reckless desire
Come share my warnth
You sweet ***** liar
Tell us not of
The truth of souls
Burn the bridges
   When you go...

Who are you now
Slight of my dreams
Long gypsy nights
Shrill banshee screams
Follow me down
The path of split ends
Into the shadows
   Of all that has been...

There is an emptiness that can´t be filled
and sadness envelopes the heart,
the loss of one so dear to us
is tearing all apart.

But strength is found in memories
and forever they will last,
for me it was the garden wall
he built with bricks and broken glass.

I´ll not forget his smile that day
his grin was ear to ear,
proud he was of the wall he´d built...
"Here, Pete come and look out here".

He told me all there was to know
about this marvelous construction,
with bottle bottoms, green blue and brown
"And Pete, I never had instuctions".

We stood together side by side
in the warnth of the summers end,
that´s the moment I´ll remember
and I was proud to call him friend.

Her
The apples of her smiling face
Shine like fresh dew drops on a spring morning
Light emits from her eyes
Like twinkling stars in the dusky night
Her lashes surround her bright eyes
Like sprays of wild flowers
They flutter as she laughs
And her laugh
Oh her laugh!
Melodic and sweet
Fills her with warnth
From her head to her feet
And whenever she comes near
Glowing
And full of light like the sun
You can't help but love her
Full of gaiety and fun
Her whole being is like
A fresh breath of spring

Hold me, lady.
Like you hold the scriptures of God in your heart.
Put your trust in me, lady.
The very same way.

Just hold me, lady.
And feel my warnth.
Yes, feel my love.
With each beat of my heart.
You are aware of my reality.

So, just hold me
So Sensual So Sweet
My beloved is so saucy,so sensual so sweet
Beauty beguiles me with its sweet attraction
Whenever she is with me increases heartbeat
I am highly enchahted with her perfection
World is nothing without you my sweet friend
In your company galaxies glitter and moon shines
Your graces and figure sets a beautiful trend
Warnth of sun surrounds me and confines in lines
My feet are no more on land what an addiction
Your company makes me but all just converted
What an excellence of beauty and what seduction
Love has its own way to be strongly asserted
