And I am There
I'm not so far
As you might think
If I travelled a thousand miles,
My heart and mind and soul
Would not have left your side.
My love I see you sleeping,
I wonder are you dreaming,
And if so, in your dreams,
Do you see me?
I think that thought,
And I am there.

When we're apart,
I still can feel your breath,
I can hear your heart
As though you're standing there.
Soft is your skin
And tender are your lips,
Warm and alive they call to me,
And I am there.

My hands know every texture,
And every curve of your body,
My ears know every sound,
That you make.
My mind can see
As clear as any picture,
I smell your fragrance
Linger after you are gone.
Warm are my thoughts
I remember every moment,
Living it again for eternity,
And I am there.

I am ever near you,
And you are ever near me,
Even when apart, I feel
You standing there.
We have a bond
And none can separate it,
Our love is stronger
Than all the world can do.
Though life should tear us asunder
Within we are together.
Moist are your lips
When mine are pressed against them,
I'm drawn back wherever I might be,
And I am there.

The Kiss of Morning Beauty
The morning sun shines
Through the filigree shutters.
A wind full of light
Blows open her thin gauze robe.
A sly smile comes on her lips.
Her moth eyebrows arch
Over her beautiful eyes.

The new peach blossoms are glowing.
They fill the world with perfume.
Swallows fly through drifting petals.
The young leaves have a bitter smell.
Flying petals settle in the dew basins.
We arrange the branches in vases
And fill the house with beauty.
The petals sprinkle the old willow by the window
With vivid pink and white
Like rouge and powder.

My Beloved lives deep within my heart
She's in my arms yet moving through my soul
Part of me even though we're separate
I hold her tight and she will not let go

Oh my love, my heart burns hot with fire
And you are the one of my desire
Beloved, you are the crystal stream
That quenches my great thirst

Stepping lightly like I'm in the air
Your touch is velvet and your lips are dew
You are with me always everywhere
For you fill my heart and mind and soul

Oh my love, my voice sing to you
As you walk across my thoughts and dreams
Lightly touching me the way you do
As I long to touch you more

Where Do The Dragons Go?
Now when the night decends,
Now that the storm has reached its ends.
Where do the dragons go?
How can a mortal ever know?

Yet I know

They're still here
I know not where
But I feel it.

Dragons are born of sky;
Dragons are born of
   earth and fire;
Dragons are nature's eye -
Watching the efforts of Earth's people.
   In the sky now -
     the dark night sky,
   The dragons soar on high.
   They're still there now
   But quiet somehow
   Like mist across the sky.
And I know they're there,
In the evening sky -
A mist across the moon.

In the storm they came
But in the calm they remain;
A hidden reminder of power.
