The Snake

Fallen angel deprived of love,
why do you cry for your loss?
You say he's left,
the one you long for
has left you scared and alone.
You weep for wrong
and want for sin.
Tell me who you fear.
Yourself you say?
I ask you why.
You say he's left you blind.
He's caused you not to see,
but you are not the only one
whose heart feels pain.
Pick yourself from the ground.
Do not wither like the black rose,
life taken from her,
now nothing but unhappiness to the end.
He will soon return to you,
belly slithering across the ground.
You will take him back,
the one who's hurt you so.
Like so many times before,
you'll forgive him in your ignorance.
Then you can truly say,
"I am entrapped in darkness,
my sight has been taken from me."

Tangents

love wants devotion
restless world
so uncaring
butterfly high
clip her wings
hopeless fate
everlasting
an eternity
for infinity
fall again
apart now
united we fail
rise again
new power
tears roll
down my cheek
destiny
taken next
go away
let me be
why
lock her in
prisoner
longs freedom
need you
here by
come closer
reach out
fly freely
dove from cage
not possession
unbound
chosen ones
need too

In Dreams

The darkness falls
And loneliness threatens
But promises
Of love eternal
Give me strength
To face another night
I close my eyes
And smile
As my imagination
Runs wild
Beautiful dreams
Of sweet caresses
The smell of your skin
Your heartbeat
Gently whispers
Against my ear

Captured

In this moment
Between space and time
Where only we exist
Two lovers captured
By each other's eyes
We speak without words
Only a touch, a kiss
My flesh tingles
With every caress
Your face a reflection
Of the love in your heart
An answer to my prayers
And an end to the loneliness

Forgotten

Little boy
On the Corner
In a lonely town
Seems he's in the wrong place
But who's to say
If anyone belongs
Little boy
On the edge
Of a tall brick building
He thinks he's going to jump
And he wonders if anyone will catch him
Little boy
In a dark casket
Deep beneath the ground
He's feeling a little bit better now
But still he wonders
If anyone will miss him

Walk With Me

Walk with me
Under skies of blue
The sweet smell of flowers
Carried on the breeze
Touch me
Don't be afraid
I won't resist
I see the passion in your eyes
Kiss me
Taste the rich wine
I save only for you
Savor each sip
Love me
As I love you
Body, soul, and mind
Hold me
Through the night
Our desires burning bright
As the dawn of the sun in the morn
When we peacefully rest
Dream of wonderful things to come
Knowing when you awake
I will be by your side

Love Lost

A cool autumn's breeze
Plays with my hair
Memories of the paths
Your fingers used to trace
A tear rolls down my cheek
Where your hand once rested
A chill runs through my body
And stops to rest in my empty heart
I hug my sweater closer around me
Wishing for the warmth
Your arms once brought
If only to have one more chance
The things I would do differently
You would know how much I love you
and you would stay forever
