POETRY: A MOMENT

I look past all the problems that arise
When I look into you and see a feeling
That only you and me can express to each other
One embrace could take all my fears away
Just a moment inside your heart
Shall take me from this unearthly, darken place
For you to speak words only for me
In a split second my tears shall vanish
Into the cold, pouring night with which
I will leave behind when I am in your arms
My body will ache the pain of a thousand knives
And my heart, empty, and thinner than wine is my blood
When you will say that your soul
Is for another beauty and endlessly
Is how long you will remember by deep, blue eyes
I take your hand for the final moment
To tell you my love for you shall never cease
And your words are carved in my mind, 
And your sweet taste, pasted on my lips, Forever

The shattering sound of her voice 
Breaks every bone within me,
Stealing the very soul within my heart,
Vandalizing the reason of my being.

So sweet, so passionate her words I taste.
Delicious but vicious, her venomous diction.
To die I must, for in her speech she has captured me.

The fiery flame of her passion, in her tongue 
Is ever more true, pregnant with devotion, and depth.
Burn I will to deny it false,
For in my heart my dream is alive. 
For that, I will die in the arms of her words.

Precious pearl,
How you glint so constant!
Brighter at some angles.
By this angel, you glow so bright!
Burning and filling my palm
With heat 
By your heavenly incandescence.
Most valuable pearl,
My torch in the black of night
That brings me noon;
The lungs by which I breathe
That allow me to live, 
To see.
Oh jewel, that lives within me.
Comforting pearl,
My sweet candy, my solace!
How you ease my pains.
Your power is beyond my grasp!
My charity,
My giving tree,
My beautiful guardian!
Friendly pearl,
I must retire.
Keep me safe, love
Dear jewel.
Wake me friend, 
And I will hold you, in my palm
Come Morning.

Your eyes, such a deep sensuous brown

Penetrate through the depths

Of my soul and I lose

Myself in

Them

Your hands, so sensuously soft and gentle

As you explore my

Body, sends my heart racing

With shuddered

Breaths

Your lips, so delectably soothing and full

Of passion as they part with desire

To cover mine as you take

Me deeper and

Deeper

Your heart, so pure flowing with love for

Me that I go weak with deire; Such 

Sweet ecstasy with every

Heart-beat

5

Listen to my heart and to the secrets it holds

Secrets which have never before been told

Secrets of feelings which I cannot control

Secrets which stem from within my soul

Listen to my heart and to what it tells

My heart and soul have long bid farewell

I have been forever captured in a binding spell

To love you...I would burn forever in Hell

Listen to my heart and it will tell you this

To kiss an angel would be heavenly bliss

I would die to taste your sweet beautiful kiss

My soul would forever more be led amiss

Listen to my heart and to its crying pleas

I long to tenderly hold you close to me

To gently embrace you would be sweet ecstacy

My heart has been captured and only you have the key

Listen to my heart...

Soul

I stand in the shadow of my soul 
where the mist collides with my
memories and kisses them 
like the dawn of a cold winters morning.

As I walk down the corridor 
I see images from my past. 
They rush down like rain falling 
from the heavens to beat on my face.

Shapes come and go 
as figures pass through the doors.
Sometimes I laugh, 
then sometimes I cry.

Loved ones flow in... 
like the blood in my veins 
...wishing I could tell them that I loved them 
instead of walking away.

The pain starts to flow 
and the weight feels heavy,
for another angel has lost it?s wings 
for loving a lost soul.

she walks by 
sometimes fast 
sometimes slow 
some times when she passes 
i don't think she notices me
i see her smile 
i only hope it's for me 
because in my eyes 
it's only her they see 
always trying to grab your attention 
without ever asking 
with nothing to do 
but think of you 
and hoping one day 
my dream will come true 
and that dream is all for you

8

at the very first your eyes touched mine 
and we saw each other
my heart fell heavy, my head went numb
I was in a state of utter, euphoric disarray
how could such beauty as hers live 
and breathe on this earth?
with just a little smile that
she gave to me in return, my spirit jumped
within me, 'she is here! to love you as
lover, wife, mother, best friend'

they say that the eyes are the
windows to the soul
if it be, then
i have seen paradise in hers
there burning fervently within, unbounding love
a fire in the belly
which greatest ocean cannot quench 
whose flames are eternal joy
and warmth of passion unfathomable

It's 3:00 on a Tuesday morning as
I sit awake, so far from sleep.
My days blend together by two-hour naps
and my sanity is becoming hard to keep.

It's 3:00 on a Tuesday morning as
I desperately think about you.
You sleep peacefully
and have no clue what I am going through.

It's 3:00 on a Tuesday morning as
I ask myself if you are worth this pain.
I have no choice but to wait for you because
I have nothing to lose and the world to gain.

It's 3:01 on a Tuesday morning as
the minutes of my life slowly crawl by.
It will seem like years until I see you next,
but when I do, I'm going to give life a try.

Once... I loved you 

Sometimes... I miss you 

Always... I care for you 

Never... will I forget you

Your hair spilling over your back 
looks like a forbidden waterfall, 
so exquisite yet so powerful. 
Its soft flowing beauty can shape hearts with desire 
and over many years can smooth the rough face of rocks. 
Silken is its touch, with a lash of fire at its tips. 
Taking on the night with its radiance 
the power held by your heart 
can make the sun succumb to its wishes.
Your heart feeds my life, and my life is for you. 
At the bottom of the waterfall is 
the misty whiteness of your pale skin. 
The violent cascade from the power of your hair 
causes your skin to shimmer and ripple, 
drying only with the touch of my hand. 
And the water flowing from the freedom of your beauty 
is the love I have for your body.

12

With great intent we draw each other closer
To look beyond our beckoning gaze
And find our souls ablaze,
Relentless, and in a fervent manner
Melt our hearts together.
In a pool of passion we declare and praise
Our love that will go beyond the end of days,
Undying and living forever.

With great fortitude and gentleness we kiss,
Breathing each other's breath, consuming
In totality, our tangible and the intangible,
Taking us to a formless state of pure bliss.
Tasting each other;s sweetness so yearning,
We're locked in one passion, forever indestructible.

The storm rages around me
the waves toss the little boat
from side to side-
Panic turns to calm

As I think upon you
the smile I long to see
and long to reveal in
yours

Yet, within
and without 
soaked to the marrow of my exisitence-
and, yet, warmed by the fire of your gift

Such is the reflection-
the black wetsuit envelopes me
from the cold
and from within

Your warmth tenders 
my soul
like a beacon to the shore
and yet guiding safe

through the breakers 
the kayak 
finds safe portage
seeking shelter

Much the way I did
at first our meeting
having the fire of love 
rekindled

and, yet, new-
ever so new
to believe in someone
and have the same from them

yet. within 
my longing and aching
to hear your voice above the storm
imperiled by the waters

and yet 
safe for in it 
my arms find strength to paddle
and eyes, sight to see

as the rain drives 
piercing my face 
but not soul or spirit
for there you are

my inner beacon
my inner strength
and inner calm
shore is within reach

how I wish it were 
your arms
and yet within the reflection
I am there......
