bright flowers drip honey
sun heat cools in the shade
time passes slowly

hidden beneath your
pliant skin your heart
sensuous you are

I penetrate this lushness
cracking your veneer
seeking inner warmth

Lavender Twilight
lavender twilight
birds seeking their rest on high
musically sighing

soft murmurs so sweet
fill the evenings late hours
quiet now at rest

heads tucked under wings
little souls now full of peace
waiting for the dawn

remember the after glow of smiles
bright summer days
laughter whispering softly
an echo of life's path

let those who grieve
dry your tears my dears
on soft rose petals
left behind as I wait at rest
for you my heart when life is done

with primrose in my hair

where once he saved
that tender voice for me
where once I knew
I was loved beyond
devotion it's self, now
now we are but strangers
walking in different rooms
rooms dressed in blue

inside her glass collection
a menagerie of dreams
trapped in the long past

the masks we wear
each day carrying them
hiding behind placid faces
unknown, untouched they cling
growing heavy as we walk the years
we are what they seem
or are we something more
in private, behind drawn shades
it slips to the floor
revealing the monster that is me

in my mind
I long for you
I breath your scent
entwined with mine
love echos in our limbs
coming to a head
reaching heaven in
one touch, one kiss, one caress
oh love, we are we are

windmills in my mind
spinning silky webs serene
sensuous colors

shooting stars arise
tick behind my gray blue eyes
kaleidoscope shines

moonbeams bend and sway
windmills ever spinning bright
long into the night
