In the stillness of the shadows,
interwoven with memories of romance,
entranced in oneness.
As the flames lick the walls
of the glowing cavern:
amber, ruby, saphire,
reflect emeralds of mystery.
Hands, sculpted by desire,
rediscover warm silkiness.
Fragrances of jasmine encircle
raven hair, cascading over satin.
Periodic giggles of pleasure
and moans of delight,
interrupt focused passion.
Glorious lovers united.
Joined eternally through spirit,
in this splendor of freedom;
celebrate dreams untold.
Souls rescued from the abyss--
One seeks shelter;
the other rest.
I couldn't loose at all.
But what's the point of walking
when I only choose to crawl?
It's safer in the shadows;
even standing all alone.
No failure in retreating;
when darkness becomes home.
“Comfort is a state of mind,”
that's what I always say,
“Safety is for us who dream
but never wish to stray.”
The path for me is well worn,
the cobblestone smooth and shiny,
reflecting desires of time lost
and warns to those behind me:
Beware if you reach this road;
think carefully before you travel.
Life should be filled with challenges
and messages to unravel.
But if you stay on this worn path
though dust may never find you--
You'll have to face yourself my friend
then life is now behind you.
And did you find what you desired?
Were the shadows really safe?
Or were they a prison cell,
that kept you from His grace?
Did you not trust, and not believe,
that all He said was true?
“If the journey becomes unbearable
I'll come and rescue you!”
On rocks and boulders travelers fell
and made the journey stressed.
But rewards were many along the way;
each stumble truly blessed.
I guess I missed the pleasure
of falling once in a while.
Picking myself up off the ground;
as I gained Him with every mile.
My heart rejoices once again!
For I have been made free.
His love has touched me deep within;
releasing agony.
A feeling of such utter Joy.
A thrill I can't describe.
A knowing that I'm safe within,
and need no longer hide.
I can not speak of love just yet.
For I hesitate to jinx.
But still, inside I feel a change,
and forge a bond of links.
That reaches from his soul to mine
and joins us from afar.
As he travels on his way tonight;
wishing on the stars.
That we could share a tender kiss;
a night beside a stream.
To lie in each others arms
and give voice to every dream.
interwoven with memories of romance
entranced in oneness
as the flames lick the walls
of the glowing cavern
amber, ruby, sapphire;
reflect emeralds of mystery
Hands sculpted by desire
rediscover warm silkiness
fragrances of jasmine encircle
raven hair cacading over satin
periodic giggles of pleasure
and moans of delight
interrupt focused passion
Glorious lovers united
joined eternally through spirit
in this splendor of freedom
celebrate dreams untold
souls rescued from the abyss
one seeks shelter
the other rest
shrouded my every move.
I prayed for it to never lift
but hold me in its tomb.
I didn't want to see the sun
and have to face the pain,
that my lover walked away from me
and left me in this rain.
I cried for days
but it did not cease.
What more do I have left to shed?
I gave it all to him, my love,
and now I'm left for dead.
There is a fog that drifted in
shrouded my every move.
In there I hid my every thoughts
silently in my room.
I felt a longing in my soul,
I shouted for release.
My heart beat faster, faster still;
but pain, it did not cease.
I tried for days
to break the cycle.
Wanting once again to be free,
of this anguish and dread called love;
that's taken hold of me.
There is a fog that drifted in
shrouded my every move.
I lived encased so long it seems
captured by sorrowful moods.
But do not pity me anymore,
for I have come to know.
That there is a love for me once more,
better than that of long ago.
I waited for days
to rejoice again.
Wanting finally to forgive--
Life for letting me loose my way
diminishing my resolve to live.
There was a fog that drifted in
but it has ceased to be...
to brighten up your mood.
Holding you close to my heart
longing for solitude.
When we can walk beside each other,
arm in arm or hand in hand,
and talk of everything in our lives,
kicking both shells and sand.
Beneath our feet we shall feel the warmth
as the grains tickle our toes
and I'll turn to you and whisper thoughts
that everyone's sure to know---
As I look into your eyes of green
and stroke your dark black hair
that you belong to me my love
and no others can compare
Lovers
Lovers--In the stillness of the shadows,
interwoven with memories of romance,
entranced in oneness.
As the flames lick the walls
of the glowing cavern:
amber, ruby, saphire,
reflect emeralds of mystery.
Hands, sculpted by desire,
rediscover warm silkiness.
Fragrances of jasmine encircle
raven hair, cascading over satin.
Periodic giggles of pleasure
and moans of delight,
interrupt focused passion.
Glorious lovers united.
Joined eternally through spirit,
in this splendor of freedom;
celebrate dreams untold.
Souls rescued from the abyss--
One seeks shelter;
the other rest.
Risk Taking
If I never risked a single thing,I couldn't loose at all.
But what's the point of walking
when I only choose to crawl?
It's safer in the shadows;
even standing all alone.
No failure in retreating;
when darkness becomes home.
“Comfort is a state of mind,”
that's what I always say,
“Safety is for us who dream
but never wish to stray.”
The path for me is well worn,
the cobblestone smooth and shiny,
reflecting desires of time lost
and warns to those behind me:
Beware if you reach this road;
think carefully before you travel.
Life should be filled with challenges
and messages to unravel.
But if you stay on this worn path
though dust may never find you--
You'll have to face yourself my friend
then life is now behind you.
And did you find what you desired?
Were the shadows really safe?
Or were they a prison cell,
that kept you from His grace?
Did you not trust, and not believe,
that all He said was true?
“If the journey becomes unbearable
I'll come and rescue you!”
On rocks and boulders travelers fell
and made the journey stressed.
But rewards were many along the way;
each stumble truly blessed.
I guess I missed the pleasure
of falling once in a while.
Picking myself up off the ground;
as I gained Him with every mile.
Something on a Happy Note
Love kindled:My heart rejoices once again!
For I have been made free.
His love has touched me deep within;
releasing agony.
A feeling of such utter Joy.
A thrill I can't describe.
A knowing that I'm safe within,
and need no longer hide.
I can not speak of love just yet.
For I hesitate to jinx.
But still, inside I feel a change,
and forge a bond of links.

and give voice to every dream.
Something Unexpected

The Fog
There is a fog that drifted inshrouded my every move.
I prayed for it to never lift
but hold me in its tomb.
I didn't want to see the sun
and have to face the pain,
that my lover walked away from me
and left me in this rain.
I cried for days
but it did not cease.
What more do I have left to shed?
I gave it all to him, my love,
and now I'm left for dead.
There is a fog that drifted in
shrouded my every move.
In there I hid my every thoughts
silently in my room.
I felt a longing in my soul,
I shouted for release.
My heart beat faster, faster still;
but pain, it did not cease.

Walk at the Shore
Bringing you wishes of sun todayto brighten up your mood.
Holding you close to my heart
longing for solitude.
When we can walk beside each other,
arm in arm or hand in hand,
and talk of everything in our lives,
kicking both shells and sand.
Beneath our feet we shall feel the warmth
as the grains tickle our toes
and I'll turn to you and whisper thoughts
that everyone's sure to know---
As I look into your eyes of green
and stroke your dark black hair
that you belong to me my love
and no others can compare
