All I want
Is to build you up
Heal your soul
Bring you peace
Lift you up
Feel your love
Kiss your lips
Face, hands and feet
Cup your face
Stroke your hair
Keep you safe
See smiles on your face
Protect your life
Die in your service
Live for every moment
Just for your touch
A look, a glance
I love, my Love
Only you
Just only
Everything about you
Is frozen in time
You'll never grow old
From the moment
I first saw you
Never a new line
Grays don't find
A hold in your hair
Little pieces of you
Never to wear
You'll complain
about time
its always unkind
but to me you are frozen
I can't help but stare
Caught in your moment
Tangled in love
Too tight and twined
I don't have a choice
Like my actions not mine
Almost like someone
Cups my mind
I am forced to see you
Past everything unkind
Look through the abyss
Past dragons, devils,
cages and time
I see you the way you want to be
Words, you've written in the past
The woman you are, free and fine
I see all the strings, how they keep you tied
Little emotions, that strive, tear and bind
Addicted to feeling, I want to devour
You scare me at times, fire backdrafted fear
But its nothing to face, feeling love, a presence so near
it holds me to you, a part of you protects
It burns but doesn't consume me
That who you are, pure safety and loved
So I wither the fire, take fury and burn
To see the Phoenix, kiss life against death
Tears vermilion reflecting the night,
St Elmo's fire burning bright,
Sea sick sailors pray for the light
Doomed and forgotten nets are dry.
Albatross soars, wings of flight
Guiding the lost with cries of gulls,
Let us laugh at their misfortune,
Schadenfreude
Styx flows too soon,
Gold on each eyelid
The Titans shall have their due.

Hyperion weeps to Neptune's view
As Icarus burns to seas of blue
And the sails catch on,
Enlightened by the
Dawn multifaceted hue.
Scarlet prism gems
Reflect the fallen, truth
Through crimson tinted lens.
Life is a game, yes.
But it is not played by us.
The universe can be found
In a rundown bar on
The outskirts of Olympus.

It is a battered old pool table
Covered with ash and stale beer.
Where once the gods would linger
Laughing long into the evening
Full of mirth and cheer,
While all the time competing
For who would take control.
Cronus versus Zeus
Potting planets into black holes.

Like all good games, die.
The table was forgotten.
The bar decays
The enthusiasm fades
The universe went out of fashion.
But all the while it was rotten
Something grew on the planets
Misbegotten.
A mold unwanton and alone.
The mold was life and the table was rife
With that which the gods shall never know.
We worried so much about sticking our head above the parapet,
We forgot the stagnant water underfoot.
We forgot the stages of stalemate
The terror of trench foot.
Against a dark background
On this backwater planet,
We are all just hicks and heathens
In the scheme of galactic beings.

Hush,

Don't speak so loud.

It's best to remain hidden,
Out of sight, safe and sound.
Like the lost Amazonian tribe

That rues the day it was found.
It's a magic number
Never lonely,
A history in the past
Always again, again,
And once more again

It surfaces repeatedly
Always in the pattern
It's a singular certainty
But by threes
Happenstance, maybe
Coincidence, ok
Maybes

But it's been for years
Three weeks, months, years
Like guard in hell
Too easy to blame the number
Doesn't let you out

But take the number
It's in your palm
That's the trick
If you know the pattern
Use the pattern

Look at the number
First is always honey
Moon's easily reprieve
Second is the morning after
Dawn's soonest drift
Third the learning
Of souls, reflections bold

Always in phase
From one to another
Memories dredge up
To say, no, don't let this be
Whisper, destroyed, wasted soul

Maybe it says
You don't have the right
Not to happiness or delight
Cursed to break
Not Midas Touch

But this is not what I see
To me, you are the purest soul
Childish in joke, quick to laugh
Passion unbridled, sharp of tongue
Brightly alight, witty and alive
Full of fight, free flying sight
Clean and shining, white

If only I could give you
The sight of you
How I see you
Beautiful, awesome
Might
She gets ready
Like she knows she's
Special
Like deep inside
She knows the truth
And it's the way I see her

It's her pleasure
To look just perfect
To be the rose
Highlighting
Subtly sensual
And alluring
Beautiful

Her little smiles, almost jeweled
Eyes just right, diamonds
Sparkling, happy smiles
Tipping their corners tight
Gems in the bedroom light
Legs crossed, demure
Sandals, strapped well
Won't come off, but
If they might,
It would hanging, playing
Gently shaking, unconsciously
Held by toes, a highly arched foot

The dress is long, fitting well
Huggy on the hips, in the waist
Showing little skin, but proudly
All the curves
Angelic

Her skin glows, like a panther
She walks, not a stride but sure
She holds her purse, her lifeline
Under one arm as she checks her phone
She pauses, thumbs come alive
Fingers strike, quick, striking, tapping
Almost a tattoo, string music

Then she walks again
The dress has colors
I don't see, all I see is lines
Curves, beauty, in stride
Appreciation of motion

She is the embodiment of everything
From one side of passion
To its extreme, like a storm
Elemental, her nature
Set to a piano's sound
Matching her walk
And her thoughts

Some might say I love her
But it's a perfect word
Too short, too simple
But any other wouldn't be right
It's no mistake being what it is

She is wearing her hair up
A ravens nest, each hair in place
Her slender, perfect neck, ****
Shoulders sway, arms too
Not a busy body, but confident
Something she doesn't, can't see
She's too close to see clear

But it's everything about her
Unconsciously, she shows
Her true self
Everyone who sees
Falls in love
Some might think its worship
To love unconditionally
No matter what is done or said
Giving someone that much power
So much control

It's about responsibility
A gesture of hope
Maybe, no
Definitely of trust
Probably scary; true
Freedom always is
More, it's giving you

You might ask,
Why; Not me
But I was not given the choice
It's not something
I control

It's raw, emotional ocean waves
Golden grains in seas of plains
The mountain ranges crashing
Against stretching Earth below
The stars ****** down light
Millions of years old
This isn't a drop, drip

This emotion is bigger
Overwhelming is not the right word
Because it's not, it's just huge
I'm not drowning in this
It brings me life

Too feel alive
Someplace once so cold
You gave me this
So to give back to you
This is love

Unconditional
