Ether-bound,
into the blue
I’m flying
with his hand
clasped in mine.
Is this a dream?
Underneath us
earth is growing small.
But up and up -
wondrously we lift!
Above a mound
of clouds we drift.
A glorious haze
of stillness 
envelops us -
sweet tranquility.
I turn to see
his eyes so tender -
mirroring mine.
Suddenly,
a sharp shrill sound
splits the...

In childhood's wondrous realm I'd learned
How Your bright flames inside me, burned,
And knew, while those fires cooled or grew,
Thru faith, my heart was bound to You.

With youth's hard lessons, gains and errs,
I'd shared my dreams to life's sweet cares,
And though oft' times, they'd find me...

Homeward Bound

I didn’t know, for it didn’t show for so many years.
The slowing steps, the memory gaps
The creeping years gone by.
Then one day, it came my way
The mirror doesn’t lie
It’s that woman whose wrinkles keep coming
Asking where and when, and why.
Memories fade, eyes become glazed
Only...

We are the souls—made of vitality.
With light so bright, it's bound to set us free.
In this vast universe, where beauty exists,
No darkness can prevail—no shadows persist.

We feel love is a blessing, not a prize to obtain.
Our spirits soar—our souls are sustained.
It's then...

I‘d have climbed the highest mountain
I’d have swum the deepest sea
Just to see your face my darling
This was just a dream for me


How the years they have flown by
Since you left my heart...

I have wondered long on how it would feel
If true love I ever found
Would I know in my heart that this is the one
To whom my soul would be bound -
Is it to you that my soul is bound?

How should I respond to the words...

I
am she
who seized the
storm and hushed the
Zephyr's rage to sleep;
the fierce within your soul,
the solace within your dreams.
I am your stained submissive lips
wanting, yet loathing; bare and alone,
oozing with lust filled memories; undone.
I am the bold stare when your eyes fear sight,
watching replays of your...

BOUND

We’re bound from birth, our path too clear
Conformity reigns, we dare to veer
Play it straight and fall in place
Buckle down, you’ll win the race

Need for expression, no need for that
Everyone needs to wear the same hat
Wander off course or stray from path
You’re ostracized, beware the...

Melodious tides serenade along a foam dipped coast line,
we drift as a single composed symphony,
seduced by a pounding surf, its sensuous rhythm pulsates
flooding our hearts, aching to collide 
in the tempo of a lone torrent’s embrace
 
Scorching tropical passions seize the moonlit sand,
palm tree shadows...

Friendship Bound   

			One day the whole of me disappeared
			I was left alone in a shell of despair
			with but maimed memories, confined
			behind dull unbreachable walls,
			trapped by fate in this cold chair
			faraway within I sealed my smile
			fighting invisible mad immured
			in cruel moments with no escape
				but...

Death shadows, furious, frenzied, fought
Waiting for this wretched soul to rot
They redeemed me, tortured me, ceasing not 

Crows perch upon my severed breast
Picking at the insipid flesh 
Vultures of glee coo and ratify my rest

Love pierces my heart that is dead
Maddening my severed head
Feeding ones...

Within this World
Tis be is Not our True Home
Our Home tis be
Heaven.. in Eternity

For whomsoever come to Christ
Shall receive Everlasting Life

Moments of Bliss
Just to behold Our Eternal Love
Divine and True Is Far-More 
Then Anything or Anyone
Just be with Our Fathers Son
King of Kings.. Lord of...

While  traveling at warp speed on the Enterprise
 Captain Kirk came across a pleasant surprise
He came upon  the planet Poetron
Where the written word was spawned

So Scottie beamed him down
 To see what he could find
 The planet had a reddish brown
surface, and with...
