Oasis

Oasis

The cup of kisses
Poured from lips
Such savage beauty
Must fight for breath
Its grave the body
Relinquished
Rides hurricane winds
Of coiled fascination
The images of everything

The tangles of thought
Are ribbons of the sky
Cloud born vaults
Lightening the blindness of souls
Dancing in the hail of caresses
With thunder roaring
Catching smiles
In the echo’s of names

Speak then
Of all that is done
To know this spot lit love
A performer of movements
In the ballet of lives

Imagine where the silence seems
Full
Raging to the resonance of a scream
Thinking of places behind the doors
Of dreams


The binding sun of eyes
Call to the desert
In a dust storm of years
The oasis of sex
Wetting a blessing with tears
Clutched in the sand held palms
All is known
All is shown

Conceive then to know
All places been
To fathom the thought in a phantom
Is all that it seems
To stand in a world
With so much more in
With never enough of a never ending
Wandering over the oceans
Of souls

Through space there is nothing more clear
The shinning face of the known
Between right and wrong
And all the lies and truths shown

It’s just a little curious to discover who
When all the struggle clears away
Nothing to think of
Except how to spend a day

So feast your eyes constantly
On all the beauty
No need to fight or remember
Just free to wander
Free to be free
The invisible gate 
The invisible key
Just walk through
And be

( what will it be like for you
   when I am me
   do you think that you know )

This comparison incorporating cloud's and thunder, hurricane wind's of coiled fascination, of passion through all that have been there and then through it all not knowing your partner, do you think that you know Colin I love how you reference the cloud's and thunder ribbons in the sky. To a living soul. An imagination with no bounderies is shown here. Beautifuly done Colin your friend Michael
