as my lover swims
in the blue waters
under the golden Sun
the birds sing a song of love.
she stands alone
perfectly
in a sea of pearls.
the Sun rays shine upon on her milky skin.
Neptune's kingdom was built for her
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
follow your heart my love
let it guide the way.
it will lead you beyond
the gates of mystery
and fear not
for fear is a lie
only love is real.
like the love i have for you
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
her hair was born out of the Sun
her skin, came from the pale Moon.
the birds fly above my lover
they fly over the shape of our love.
i watch you in the dark
your golden womb glows
beneath your skin
so does your beating heart.
i rise in the starry sky
and take you by the hand.
i will make you
the mother of this land
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
i could rule the sky
you could rule the sea.
the birds would carry essences of you up to me
carried in their golden beaks
while i would reach down to you
through the clouds as rain.
i would fall a thousand times
into your deep *****.
a dream of kings.

the years go by
but they do not scare me
for i know there will always be
a part of you that will dwell within me.
nothing can separate us for long.
i will find you wherever you may be.
as the Sun and the Moon
are destined to be together,
so are we.
i will be the golden sky
making love to your silver sea

how many men have died
and what was it all for
the golden crown
the purple robe
when these things
are just
secrets of you and i
secrets of the body
to be found within

the Indians know
of my golden crown
the violet that dwells within me
the jewelled golden seat
the golden sceptre
of sapphire and crimson ruby.                    
but all these things
are secrets of you and i

they will be lost in time

secrets of the body
secrets nobody knows
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
how many nights
have i not lain beside you?
how many Suns and Moons
have come and gone?
like my love
has come and gone.

time has shown its face
and taken my lover away.
the fire burns in the dark forest
beside the lake
in which the white swan
sings her name
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
the golden field
i wander
teems with life
like your naked body
teems with life.
i close my eyes
and listen to the
song you sing.
i think of the joy
and happiness
your love brings
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
i pick a flower
and smell its petals
and sweet perfume
the scent reminds me of you.  
but all these flowers and
all the pearls in the dark seas
could never equal your beauty.
where your feet tread,
beautiful plants spring to life.
i was born in the silvery darkness
you came out of a golden light
Basil Gentleman Aug 2019
i am the golden hero
fighting
slaying men
deep, where the battle rages

in the pale winter field
warriors die all around me

your blue eyes shine
in the green waters
they are watching
they are the eyes of mercy

i am the wayfarer
i rule dark shining towers
where the dead kings
rest in sleeps of peace
their souls
carried by my golden eagles
beyond the seven heavens

— The End —
