My Forever Beauty

"Another for my muse, with love xxx"

Like a break in the cloudsOn a warm summer’s dayYour light bursting forthWarming my heartWith storms ragingYou come with your ownMy summer stormTo clear the airWhen snows are fallingYou are the hearthWith the fire burningFlames of love that sateThe cold...

They weren’t ever supposed to beMore than those three words…I love youThey were supposed to remain hidden,Buried in the secrets of our skin,Camouflaged by the furtive touches,Safely shieldedBehind the depth of our stare.But they bubbled to the surface,Penetrated every other...

"She is there in the darkness"

I still recognize thetimbre and the tone.Hear the sound of her voicedeep insideFrom her voice in my mindthat one time.Only one time did we speak,share ourselves.Only one time did shepaint my heart with sound.Said my name, and it brought me tears of joy.Said my name,can you understand the...

The Place We’ve Never been

"May we share a time that never was"

May we returnto the place, we've never been?I knew you oncewhen we were young,you must have livedbefore.Yearning for a timewhen youth enveloped me in joy;were you there?It seems you must have beenthough impossible,to be sure.Not yet born.But living,alive,in my yearning...

When The Morning Comes

"You reached out and touched"

Do we know, can we see, will we feelwhat we've known, what we've seen, what we've felt.At the moments we knew, simply seeing, and feeling,that instant,most precious, the most treasured point in our lives.For so quickly it seemed,all our times were as one, but so short in the paths of the world. Just a minute it took, that was all, then we knew,we could see what...

There's a road that's been winding allthe days of our livesIn the starlight and sunlightthat has shined from abovelifting both of us up where we see what has beenSo we're blinking and winking with love's glimpses renewedit was you at some...

Darkling Highways, Shining Streets

"We have traveled much between us"

This is true if all else fails,we traveled much we two,within our hearts,between our minds,remembering more, much more,teaching you and reaching memore grandly than we knew.So much has been together,so much has been renewed,smell the moisture, wetness,hear the splashing streets,far and wide we wanderedand...
