The Princess of Forever

Enter my heart as I take your precious hand, 

I waited for the sky to turn blue as you stepped across the path of amour.

Never knowing but always feeling, we share a perfect glimpse of sunshine

every time we stare upon ourselves. 

 

Don't make me smile dear angel of pastel clouds,

you know not the depth of my being and you risk falling into an endless sea of

giving & giving. A heart like mine, can never take from a bright spark such as you.

Only capable to beat to the rhythm of your dance & read the magical 

story your eyes like to tell. 

 

I put my fears in a box as you rest your head upon my shoulder,

you toss them on the road to nowhere & offer a moment of solace to me.

I will always remember the day I woke up to the reality of my dreams.

You inspire all of the goodness to resurface & you remind me to enjoy the oneness

of each breath.

 

Thank you for sharing each second between the hands of time,

as all stands still in your beauty, whenever you grace me with 

your sweet presence. 

 

In these moments...

silence is filled with laughter

hunger is fulfilled with a lack of need

& I, my dear... am big in a little world.

Love Is Forever

FOR PHYLLIS & LAWRENCE.

 

A heart can never be more full, a 
smile never more real.

 

When love finds it's place in the 
space between two people,

nothing in the universe shines 
brighter,

everything in existence feels lighter.

 

We never know how long it will be in 
front of us, 

though it doesn't really matter 
because when the love is true,

it lives on inside.

 

It's everywhere. In your heart, in 
your mind, in your soul,

eternal, transcending all space & 
time. 

 

If you look around and can't seem 
to find it,

then you need not look further. 

 

LOVE IS FOREVER

 

It's yours to keep. 

 

From the lowest valley,

to the highest peak, Love is the in 
between,

Love is the only truth we ever really 
speak.

 

It's over here, over there,

under, around & often upside down.

 

In your heart. In your mind. In your 
soul.

eternal. For all space and time.

 

Doesn't matter where it is, it's 
always your guide...

no matter where you live, always 
you it will find.

 

LOVE IS FOREVER

 

& not a second less in time.

My Mama Sits Alone

My mama sits alone, whilst all i do is roam.
As the smoke loses its fire & 
the last conversation we shared turns to ash,
she willfully breathes new life into the next 
perfect crime against her body.

Nothing is what it seems in the realm of
never-ending dreams..
Who will play her part today i wonder,
as the next leading lady takes her position
in the light.

mama you think you are a prisoner
in the blasphemy of a million tortured
non-believers.. & that i am free???

Free to roam, whilst my mama sits alone?

My shackles are heavy & steal, 
pink ribbons of blood upon them.. they
never leave the company of my resilient heal.
Barefooted & with constant grace, I drag along 
my own personal jail cell of hell.. as i give good 
face.

Still, alone I roam as you sit at home..

Go on mama, LET the voices of a zillion reasons
happily appease you, as i jump in
the black, scary sea, i could sink to the bottom 
& take you all down with me.. at least the pain
would be drowned & the happiness never found..

But.. you still will be mama, sitting alone..
whilst i freely roam.. right?

I need you to swim to me in these dark & murky
waters. The cruelest of cruel seas..
Please, bring me a life jacket & leave the fictional
coast guards behind where they belong.. 

& mama, just swim like you did, so strong 
when i was a little girl on your back, remember?
So strong, i felt the fight in your limbs, as you 
took each crucial breath when you needed 
oxygen to push on through, you never ever ever
gave up until you reached the other end. 

All the while, with me on your back, you showed 
me how to NOT be alone.. you showed there was
never a reason to roam.. direction & purpose with 
each stroke, in the pool of life you were, you are..
my only true centre..

& now, as you, mama, sit ALONE, with your smoke, 
in your home.. Sadly, i'm afraid that all i can do, 
is aimlessly ROAM.

The Light of Midnight

Night time falls as midnight calls.
Morbid souls speak only of their love for humanity
whilst their soft emotions leave them coldly abandoned.

DELIVER THE INSANE FROM THE HARSHNESS OF REALITY.

A black cat sits on the fence with a critical sneer,
observing my wayward stance as the curious sparkle
in your eyes make life seem filled with much color...

IN THIS MAGIC WE ARE NO LONGER NOTHING.

We know this story ends where it begins,
we care not, for it is love without sin.
It is here where the fire is bore & here
where our hearts settle the score...

Infinity to one... Your brilliance is second to none...
Take me I'm yours ... I am anything & more.

Let the winter sun beat down on us through
no shades of grey...

Let the daylight be plain as black & white & you
& i be as daring as the last moment of 'midnight' ...

I SAY TO YOU...

"Be still... be still my darling...
the moonlight will revisit you.

When the red earth has absorbed the
boiling heat of your disdain, the moonlight will
surely be your friend again."

A MAN OF SHADOWS SAYS TO ME...

“All you see are cracks in the terrain…
When will you see you are surrounded by green acres?

WHEN WILL YOU SEE THE PRETTY PICTURE I HAVE PAINTED?

Cover your eyes if you cannot bare the light...
Don't shut them forever....
you need to survive .

You will be alright,
Just don't lose the light..."

For it is then, when all our inhibitions will fall,
it is then & only then,
when real life calls.

Within the pure light... the beautiful

LIGHT OF MIDNIGHT.
