No stars illuminate the Earth tonight.
Alone, the wet new leaves and I survey my plight;
The issue here so dark we may not find the light,
And only you and I will ever know what's really right.
I only want to give my very best to you,
Yet somehow that may work toward a great "undo"
Of everything I hoped to be, it's true.
At least until the next big bill comes due.
I know we'd love to think that love is free
'Though somehow still we know that just can't be.
I don't know how to make it feel like there's no fee
Because there's one thing you will never ever see...
The most expensive gift I ever gave to you was me.

O Mage, just how does magic work?
Alignment, Components, Words, and Signs…
A wand or rod is helpful, too
The stars and moon mark time for you.
Breath whispers words so softly now,
Eyes light the night with tongues of fire
The circle is created here
So walk the blade edged wire, desire
Each step is painful ecstasy
I follow though I fear we’ll fall
Perhaps the greatest spell will be
To somehow just outlive it all.

If you would Immortal be,
It isn’t any mystery.
You only have to find and be
The “true love” of one cursed to see
Through Poetry.
Love comes! The rhyming words will start
Your “face is carved into her heart"!
And then come rhythms quick and smart,
Enjoy your lover’s fine honed art…
Ah, Poetry!
Wait! See now, love has run it’s course
It’s time to stop and stay: divorce.
As pain and sadness, dark remorse
Fill up the soul they feed the source
Of Poetry.
Your Name and Deeds Immortalized!
You cannot really be surprised-
As love’s lost, watch poems crystallize
Right before your aching eyes,
You're Poetry.

When I come and I lay here
In the circle of your arm,
And I know that you love me,
And would never mean me harm,
Then I rest at last,
And breathe you in.
And a fire starts burning
Up from within,
Then I know how much I need you -
That's when it will begin..
But it all goes up,
Eventually, yeah ...
Yes, it all goes up in smoke.
And you know
That I need you
And I will do you right,
You don't need to be afraid,
'cause it all will turn out right...
But when it's all over,
And still my body's throbbing
Then the fear returns
And I know somehow it's robbing
Me of the peace I should feel
'Cause the release is real
And yet it burns.
Oh how it burns me!
And it all goes up in smoke.
Yeah, baby, just like a sacrifice,
It all goes up in smoke.

You are Music, you are Light, you are Gravity.
On a Cold winter's night, you are my Hot cup of tea.
You are Silence, midnight Darkness
and complete Weightlessness.
On the Hottest summer day you're the Iced Tea in my glass.
You are Alpha; Omega,
The first and the last.
My Future, my Present,
And a big part of my Past.
If it's Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall-
Then it’s I follow You: the Best plan of All!

Silken square fills with air,
So warm, so very warm...
Hotter, higher...
Pumping in, and in,
In... more air, please, more...
Falling…, falling...
**** Really falling!!
Strong arms drag me to center.
Hotter, higher, further and farther,
and Oh! Oh!!
Tighter and higher than it can go...
and Implode! Explode!!...2...3...
As the colored patches swirl around me, strong arms
Pull me up and over (breathing and uh...wheezing!)
Landing sideways, mixed together, to sleep.
Huddle of humans, one or two?
Arms are somewhere, leg over leg,
You hold me,
I pass out.
Best is ...
Opening eyes,
Nose smashed in stubbled cheek,
Seeing my son's chin.
Thank You for Now,
Thank God forEver.

The old moon wanes
Her light so sweetly,
As dawn is breaking over neatly.
She's nestled in a cove of clouds.
I watch and know she is too soon
to be engulfed by their onrushing banks
and I can't bear
To lose the little light she bravely
Chose on me to shine.
Oh little light,
Please.
Be mine.
As if she heard when I looked up,
A miracle!
The clouds broke up!
And there she was, my yin-yang crescent - snuggling cold against her Warm black velvet twin. And nary a cloud in sight
Against the movie screen glow of periwinkle light.
Sweet!! Miracles still happen when You say.
God, please! Remind me of this fact every day!

(Text:)
In all the world, there'll never be
A man I love as much as Thee!
(Ans:)
Even on the clouds or the deep blue sea?
That's a lot o' love for me!
(and then:)
I sent my dreams to look above,
And see if any other love
Was away up there and could be found
But woke up lying on the ground!
So I pushed my heart into the sea -
I have been told, so many times,
How cold my heart is- frigid me!
Alas! there's no one quite like thee!
So, Zeus, with all his charms and flair
Can keep his castles in the air!
And Neptune, though his cold match mine,
Must swim alone and drink his wine.
For all the changing shafts of light
That pierce the depths of deepest seas
And all the twinkling hosts of night
Can never match the depths I've seen
In those most twinkling human eyes.
that constantly can change their hue,
And taught me about the color Blue.
In all the world
There'll never be
A man I love
As much as Thee.

More than any song could ever sing
More than winter ever wanted spring
More than any words could ever say
More today than you heard yesterday
More and more and more, round runs the ring
More and more and more than anything
They say in years that time will numb the sting
And less will be the thing that time does bring.
But night still follows day in it’s own right
As evening follows noon and dims the sight.
The weeks pass into months with a fine blur
And in your heart you dare not feel a stir
As year turns into year, still my heart waits
The turning of the hand that wields the fates.
Eventually she’ll turn my way and see
I’m here for you, and I need you for me

Entangle me, Entangle you
For what’s a friend supposed to do
But live inside each other’s dreams?
It’s never really what it seems.
I never made a worse mistake,
I won’t live through a second take.
Recycle me, recycle you
We split this crazy world in two.
And all our kids sleep in their beds
While all our friends just shake their heads.
But no one here will ever know
How hard it is to just let go.
Immortal me, immortal you
The only way to join the two.
So live inside my sweet, sweet dreams
Where all is really how it seems -
And put outside your weary chest
Your pain and fear and on it rest
My head throughout Eternity
Embracing me…
Entangle me.
