my love will endure
tho time has withered and died
i shall be with you
and you will feel me calling
come away with me my love
beyond the deep dark endless
and its wild spiraling stars
come into my love's embrace
look into my shining eyes
and i will look into yours
now and forever

she shines with beauty
like sunlight through beveled glass
igniting my heart

my childhood abuse
i wish i could remember
to forget it all

twelve eagles rising
riding updrafts to the sun
four crows dive bombing

wipe away your tears
your love is a rainbow
the sun is rising

swift black acrobats
swoop and wheel the cobalt sky
sunlight fills the beach

mountains white and blue
trees full of bird song and buds
riding spanish banks

making love to you
pushing deep inside of you
and spilling my soul

you are like a dam
holding back an ocean
of compromises
and someday you will burst
flooding your little world
drowning all of your dreams
leaving just a ruin
of what might of been

the wellspring of life
flows through me from the void
as i swim upstream
to the still clear ponds
with their quiet cool depths
of eternity

and i will hold you
all silk and satin soft
until the day breaks

my eyes wide open
on my back on my bed
i remember you

crowded pavement
a forest of coats and hats
cell phones sparkling

you there on the stilts
looking down upon us all
beware of termites

nothing greater than
the agony of knowledge
nor the bliss thereof

a wee golden doggie
came to me its tail all waggie
and bit me there and then
that blasted teenie meanie

aeolian day
birds swim the green ocean
that flows to and fro

harebells and tulips
verge the blackberry brambles
two lop ears within

searching through the heavens
for you my blue eyed beauty
above these darkling shadows
that shroud and ring my heart
come to me in innocence
come to me unbound and true
and take my broken heart
unto your silken palms
and heal me

just the touch of you
the look, smell and taste of you
i n t o x i c a t i o n !

we all have our demons
but if you look closely
you will find yourself
so be gentle to them
and introduce yourself
tell them that you love them
and that you will keep them
safe and from any harm
let them know whatever
made them the way they are
is no longer around
that you are now adult
and need their special gifts
to fully live your life
ask them to give their trust
and promise to listen
and always respect them
welcome them back with love
and they will change into
angels in your life

blooming after dark
the jasmine's sweet warm scent
fills me with yearning

i am but a flame
a dim wavering light
in this dark cosmos

dark green pine trees
dew drops strung on spiderwebs
pale yellow sunrise

it is getting late
kind of tired kind of happy
as i slide to sleep

ghostly silver pools
gnarled and twisted silhouettes
moonlight on the path

i try to be true
in my thoughts and emotions
i owe me that much

will i overdose
i make a fist and try
a hit of pure love

people lie to me
and i usually notice
but never let on

in my life again
saying that you love me
only time will tell

time rubs against me
slowly blurring my lines
till i  disappear

two lovers embrace
in the deep dark velvet night
neath a sea of stars

not a tinkers dam
do i care about your style
it's content for me

again and again
close in my arms again
i need to love you

this lonely Planet
cast out among the stars
my cradle my home

tossing and turning
thinking about you again
wishing you were here

crickets after dark
their voices fill the night
lonely stars look down

delicate pink sky
behind snow covered crags
crescent moon rising

it's not what you say
but what you choose not to
that stabs at my heart

i care not for fame
i need only the love
of my family

a mother and child
their sublime symmetry
there i see greatness

you always need me
in the middle of the night
your secret lover

clambering beetle
black and iridescent
bright sunlight, dark leaves

glad he was
sad he is no longer
goodbye stardust

no more i love you
no more i care about you
no one beside me

in the wee small hours
gentle words, laughter and touch
filling up with love
then slipping into my bed
we spooned and she pressed hard back
with intimate urgency
inciting my inner beast
to wild abandon

i love moussaka
greek salad and rich red wine
shared with my lover

too late I found
that love and affection
frightened you so

i gave you my love
attention and respect
you gave me away
