Laying still on my side of the bed Won’t open my eyes, won’t turn my head Our pages lie defeated on the floor Kisses on the wall but ink on the door Love I refuse to share with new And so remain reserved for you. It gives me peace, we tasted forever Cuddled to dreams, before we severed My heart smiles only to your touch Your empty gloves I tightly clutch As we twirl the days into blank unknown I sing our song, ‘cause it’s ours to own I sing and I cry Teardrops burning dry ‘Till I finally dare look At the ashes of our book We pick up our pens in slow-motion glory And continue to write, each our own story Our hearts beating on to the rhythm of our metronome Now, I must leave, but I won’t forget home.

Soul Ties
Oh the omnipresent soul like a terracotta sponge absorbing our resolve now and forever after.

Keep your distance
The Great Storyteller pens ink to the wind Pressing pen to its paper skin shredding its word on the taste of rain its drip of spirit in deep refrain A sweet scented memory echoes and burs A woe of regret weeping high in the nest of its underworld The humid mist of nostalgia rests its net oer the black veil Sinking its face to its deep blue belly Its pale faint ***** in her sleeping beauty claims its kiss to widen its wake

Because others don’t see what you see doesn’t make them blind but it does stop you looking through their eyes

Turn it around
A deep laughter came to see me this morning it was so excited for the use of my soul it slipped its fingers across my chest leaving by way of the heart filling my rest head to toe its echo on my bones its history unknown

Yanni
Sharpen your blade Turn my face East A lamb in your hands Bless me, curse me Give me your poetry Your gait speaks The way rain dances For wet and trembling virile soil, speaks in whispers to my fertile soul A hunger and a Milk and honey storm Your affection is like perfume And my soul wears it Like a ****** wears virtue Intoxicated by The mere scent of knowing you My spirit moves to it, madly, taken Writes love songs On holy walls your affection is like perfume It lingers and fades

Bakhoor
How might he sing of this Queen that he found Of their trip through the stars Of the sights and the sounds The soft subtle glow from her sun-kissed skin Her Magic and rhythm that oozed from within Of Holding her close, getting lost in her eyes The lattice of limbs, the world passing by Much more to this union than physics and heat Their mind-space meeting place first of all treats Hard to face truths they would tackle as one Before all that JuJu had even begun There in those convos through hours unfolding A Lucid flowetry & neither witholding She opened her heart up revealing her past Her Darkness and Strengths A history so vast The degree of compassion and comprehension Served as a softener, negating all tension And he, he felt worthy, enough for a tear To receive all she was Dark and Light Love and Fear Pickled perspectives through dilated seers Dissolving of egos & bringing forth tears Humbly he knelt, for in him she would trust Honouring intention And Self Before lust Digesting their truths on candle light beams Backing track soundscapes of finish him themes Magnetic her radiance, a colourwheel aura Bodies' bouquet, scents sweeter than flora Skin to skin textures their grip free to roam Tastes of pure Stardust Her flavour was... Home A moment removed from time's ceaseless pace Light breaking birdsong, Love dripped from her face The world switched on and began it's routine While Awestruck he witnessed this manifest dream Cat cursed yet tireless he played to her choir Their Synchronous vibrations raised forever higher There's never before been, nor again will there be A woman of resonance as Perfect as she Subjectively perfect, Ubiquitous truth Yet how we see perfect requires no proof All of his senses Peaked & Saturated All his Desires In this Queen concentrated Once in a lifetime the lucky may find A someone of substance who stimulates the mind Once in a lifetime the lucky may be With One who cultivates a compatible energy Once in a lifetime the lucky may hold The attention and Love of their true Twin Soul But the idea that One girl could be all this and more A concept so enticing he just can't ignore The poetry of Presence The Nourishment of Osmosis The Freedom of the Eternal Now She's Imperfectly Perfect She's Perfectly Imperfect His Queen Supreme

A Queen Supreme

Oh well That didn’t quite Go as I expected. The soul doesn’t grow from what ifs. It dies.
