POETRY: DREAM OF YOU

dream of you
in unspoken ways -
All through the night
as I lie.

My heart
knows the words
that my tongue
cannot speak

...for your love,
untold forces
I'd vie!

Born in your pools
depthless brown
falling
slowly
without a sound

Trail left behind
your cheek untouched
soft
beautiful
loved so much

Resting on your lips
melting away
warm
wet
forgotten one day

Teardrops falling
lithe
frail
quietly dying
a story to tell

When Darkness falls and the cold stillness of the night settles in,
What do you whisper to the shadows?
When the walls close in around you,
When your loneliness draws around you like a cloak of despair
And all you have are the echoes of your heart?

What wild thoughts prance around in your raven head?
Like the last drops of snow falling too late to lay with their kin,
You are alone in your empty room with your empty thoughts.
Does the silence bring to thee any comfort?
Lost inside yourself, can anything sooth your torment?

When you weep ever so sweetly
Do the shadows answer back to the silent tears?
Does the sound of their falling
Take your mind away from the monsters in the corner?
You are the giver of Hope, yet, keep none for yourself.
Do you think your pain lends you beauty?

Your magnificence is failing,
Your flesh being consumed and your mind- rotting.
I sang a song for you but it was drowned out by your screaming.
Crimson Lady, your life seeps away like puss from a wound.
Sitting in the darkness you have created for yourself.
The minutes are endless, going on and on,
Grains of sand to your pity,

You are trapped for all Time in your endless nightmare.
Have you no Hope? Must you blind yourself to life- with tears?
In your heart now, the truth finally dawns.
Wretched are you, bitter and anguished. Full of despair.
The pain you hold onto drags you down
Like a weight around your neck,
Drowning you in your own sea of crimson.

When the woe takes over your mind
And your will is utterly spent,
What words will you cry out into the night?
What will emerge from your fiery pit of emotion?
When your spirit finally breaks and your body is broken-
What song would you have them sing for you?
How many tears would you have them cry?

Your beauty fading would be as summer days with winter nights,
Like a bird with no song.
Too late would come the questions that were never uttered,
Too late would they notice that the Crimson Lady sat in her room,
Like a wounded animal huddled in it?s cave.
They would hear the tears but, alas...! Too late,
For they are only dying echoes wandering the walls.

It is then that they would say:
"How did we not see?
Oh poor, silent Crimson Lady,
How did this come to be?"
When your life ends on a cold starless day,
You will never know how much you were wanted,
Wanted by me...

Will your lips stay untouched with such beauty as this,
For how saddened my heart by our distance apart,
And each simple thought would beckon my kiss,
And each simple dream would summon my heart.

But I smile with the memory of your longing embrace,
And my joy went unfettered with your voice I perceive,
And your voice in an instant would signal your face,
Then your face in an instant? my love would receive.

Your eyes were the stars that at night would inspire,
My soul to but yearn for your lips sweetest touch,
And quenched by my love's overwhelming desire,
To whisper I love you? I love you so much.

And untouched were your lips but untouched nevermore,
As our passions engulf our souls to their depth,
On wings riding high will our ecstasy soar,
For our ecstasy soars and our ecstasy's kept.

So our lives have been perfect for souls such as ours,
And time won't diminish the love that we share,
And if ended the morrow by omnipotent powers,
Then the morrow had brought me? a beauty so rare.

I am here, yet I am not.
My mind is far away.
Walking down cobblestone streets
with you as we laugh and play.
Peeking into window shops
as you gently hold my hand.
I try not to be obvious
to show the love I have for this woman.
The rain does not bother me
when I am here with you.
Gazing into your heavenly eyes
is what I love to do.
Savoring each moment
with desire and passion so strong.
I have waited for you for so very long.
Neither of us has to say a word.
The truth is written in our eyes.
We have found in each other
a natural ally.
You are my alpha.
My spirit does soar.
In love with you
I will be forevermore.

We are a song.
Strong and lifelong.

Your soprano sings with my tenor.

Our heart beats, they will combine.
My song yours, your song mine.

People passing by hear only noise.
That makes their lives what it will be.
I resonate to you, and you to me.

Gently.

Sweetly.

Truly.

Eternally.

I will always hear you.
You will always hear me.

Yesterday you were scarcely an illusion
that had begun to flourish
in the hidden world of my dreams.
Today, after 20 years,
you are my most exciting reality!
How the time elapses!

Yesterday, you were only a girl
that looked at the world
with the innocence of the lost angels
in the tropical afternoons of my town.
Today, after 20 years,
you are a real lady
that shares her love with the family
that destiny rewarded her.

How the time elapses!

Yesterday, you were a flower in full spring
showing the world all her childish beauty;
one amid the beautiful flowers
in the garden of life.
Today, after 20 years,
you have not only matured
into the most beautiful flower
among the flowers
but also you have become
the most loving Mother-flower
whose buds bloom with all the love
of her soul and of her heart.

How the time elapses, my love!

Yesterday, you were only a light breeze
in one hot corner of my solitude.
Today you are the sweet rainfall in the summer
that refreshes the soul.

How the time elapses!

Yesterday you were my illusion.
You were my dream.
Today, after 20 years,
you are the sweetest reality in my life.

As brilliantly as we breathe
she seeps her stream
of words into the lake
where his raw magic breeds.
Aching. Pushing. Growing.

Black velvet nights
pass on by, like clouds
and the corduroy sound
of children at play.
Laughing. Singing. Running.

Ultraviolet baths
brought translucent steam
from his melting brain
yearning to utter.
Sayings. Greetings. Meanings.

All the clean vapor
began to matter
as he understood, perhaps
eternity is fair.
Living. Loving. Giving.

Her embrace cracked
the stiff marble base
his feet were molded into;
freedom in life was at hand.
Moving. Breathing. Seeing.

His soft lips firmly grazed
her tender pillows
protecting the violin in her throat,
fine tuned and desired daily.
Whispering. Talking. Sighing.

Their high internal blazes
bellowed for one and then the other
to flower each other in
the moist rhythm of sex.
Touching. Kissing. Throbing.

Two seperate worlds
are now one universe
realizing the past was practice
and knowing the future is secure.
Loving. Caring. Living.

Blue was the way I was feeling,
Wanting to die: all I could do.
But red was the rose given.
I'd fallen in love with you,

Green is the trees all around us.
White was the phone on which we talked.
But if I remember correctly,
It was you who decided to walk.

Pink were the bed sheets we slept in,
Yellow the big pillow cases.
Why on earth did you pick me out
From all of those beautiful faces.

More to the point of appealing,
Why did you let go of the slack?
All I know is that I am dealing
From the fact you turned color to black.

I love you with all of my heart.
Be with me till the end of our days.
I'll treat you as bright as the rainbow,
And light you till end of our days.

I feel like I'm in suspended animation,
when I look into your eyes.
Like I'm somewhere out in outerspace,
amongst the starry skies.

The desires you awaken,
that burn deep in my soul for you.
That powerful yearnng feeling expressed, with every touch
& kiss you do.

The passion it spills
with an over running flow.
That keeps our relationship filled
with an undying magical glow.
I've never felt such a great love
quite like this before.
A love I deeply cherish
and have came to truly adore.

Which path next?
i just don't know
which way to turn
or where to go
who to see.
which do i pick
who to believe?
it makes me sick.

whose eyes to gaze into
which face to trust
which heart to desire
whose body to lust?
whose words to linger
around my untrusted mind
whose lies to consider?
the answers too hard to find.

to move back a step
to trace an already walked road
to try again
to get my heart resold
to the wrong one again
to feel broken.
to ask myself
am i just a token?

will i regret this
this one choice
do i listen
to this unspoken voice?
i can't hear
the answer coming to me
i don't know where to turn.
how's it gonna be?

I dreamt a dream
It was divine.
"Why?" you ask,
Because you were mine.

You said I was beautiful,
which made me cry.
But because it was a dream,
I dreamt a lie.

So why can't it be true?
My love is so real.
Why can't I share with you
This love that I feel.

Now as I sit here,
And think of what our love could do,
I'll tell myself,
"No matter what, my heart is for you."

I've said my prayers
And I'm going to sleep.
Now I'll dream another dream
And I'll give you my heart to keep.

As the rose I once loved slowly wilted and died,
I gazed upon the petals and I sat and I cried.

As the fear I once felt slowly withered away,
I sat and I thought about you in each and every way.

As the love you once gave me, you gave me no more,
I sat and I cried as my tears fell to the floor.

As the warmth that I felt when you held me so tight,
was quickly upon me then gone by the night.

As the touch I once felt slowly slivered away,
I gazed upon the stars and I missed you everyday.

As the fear I once felt slowly overwelms me,
I sat and I cried but still you didn't love me.
