~ZOMBIE NIGHT~
WHINING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Ascension of the dead -Longing to live again
Sands of desert flip the hour glass back
WHIMPERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Taking light from where evil stays
Feeding away leaving behind a death valley zone
WONDERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Dead souls forsake the common land
Shadowing like Equinox light
Walking corpse covered in rotten barren sand
WINDY WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Upright, forward broken taboo
Searching for the perfect breath of fresh air
Sounds of symbols march the ground
Searching to find their missing heartbeat
WHISKING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Ascension of the dead -Long to live again
Bones slowly desert distorted resting home
Moonlight vanishing in complete despair
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
WHEN WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND

Is it possible that an angel and a demon could fall in love?
And, remain soul mates for all eternity?
Yes, and I will tell you how it happened.
Maybe, it was a miracle that they met
or maybe it was just meant to be.
That an angel fell out of heaven and a demon escaped from hell
on the very same day.
They saw no one, but each other.
Yet, neither had ever seen such a creature.
The angel was beautiful and kind.
This angel had fallen from heaven
a place of light and life, and of hope and peace.
The demon was imperfect and shy.
This demon had escaped from hell
a place of darkness and death, and of despair and pain.
When they met, their eyes met.
And without a spoken word.
The angel saw only tenderness and hurt in this lost demon.
The demon saw only compassion and love in this lost angel.
It did not matter to them if one had wings, and the other had horns.
Yet, they saw themselves within each other.
Even though they were from two different worlds.
They embraced each other.
Though, they knew their love was forbidden by others like themselves.
So, they decided to remain here on earth.
Where their bond could not be broken.
The heart of the angel was no longer filled with loneliness and longing.
The heart of the demon was no longer filled with torment and sorrow.
Love is what they both were searching for.
And it was found on that very same day.
A forbidden love, everlasting for all eternity.
If "we" are a sin,
Why is my heart bleeding for you?
Why is my soul screaming out your name?
Chained by the links of horrors that hold me against you,
Towered high up above the ground,
Little did they know I'd crumble every bone just for you.
I would not wish such adversity upon my adversaries, such as the animosity which chastises our hearts.
Every precious petal in my garden has turned black, waiting for your lips to rejuvenate their vibrant hues.
Why must love be cursed by society's blindness,
or has Cupid's ignorance plagued our forbidden fate. Maybe death is the only freedom for our devotion
Forbidden fruit is sweetest, or that’s what they all say
So I thought I’d give it a try and went for some today
I didn’t know just what to choose something firm and hard or what
So I thought I’d take a sample of everything they’d got.
There was some really hard ones, some were ripe and very sweet
But I chose one in the middle and it looked good enough to eat
I caressed it very gently and waited for it to please
I nearly didn’t go through with it, I was really gonna tease.
My taste buds are not set for sweet they prefer something more savoury
But no I stuck to my guns but I want no awards for bravery
I took one that looked just right, its rich colour tempted me to bite
But have you ever bitten a persimmon, that isn’t really ripe?
It sucks the moisture out of your mouth and covers you teeth in wool
Believe me you just try it; I am not giving you any bull.
Now for those that thought the fruit, would be some other man
Maybe that’s on my ‘to do’ list, before I kick the can……….LOL
Shame on you all, for all your naughty thoughts
Especially for those of you, that can’t keep it in their shorts
To all those that do struggle, to keep the forbidden fruit at bay
Just remember the persimmon and you will never rue the day.

The dancing flames lit up her hair
In shades of dark and light
She looked at me with longing eyes
That sparkled in the night.
I know, she said, what you desire
The fruit that longing seeks
She looked me straight into the eyes
I watched her burning cheeks.
I will give all and be your slave
As long as you are mine
We shall make love ‘til dawn is here
And drink the sweetest wine.
She threw herself into my arms
And kissed my waiting lips
I held her tight; could not resist
Her undulating hips.
Our passion’s fire burnt all night long
Each movement – tenderness
I wished this bliss we could prolong
Profound togetherness.
When morn’s first rays peered through the pane
Lace curtains etched our skin
A tapestry of silk domain
She was my Anne Boleyn.
But fantasies evaporate
When light is shed on them
Forbidden love seemed to berate
How tarnished was our gem.
One night we shared, but ne’er again
Could we pursue our lust
Her husband, he was my best friend
We’d violated trust.

Unrequited love is the
forbidden fruit of the heart.
And if you lust for its taste,
it will tear your heart apart.
A love that can never be;
drains dreams of all their magic.
And like a moth to a flame;
results are often tragic.
Behind a facade of smiles,
you try to hold back the tears.
Yet hope is mired in despair;
where it has languished for years.
Jealousy results in a
deluge of sad emotions.
And it feels as though you've cried
enough tears: to fill oceans.
You suckle reality,
on the bosom of the night.
For fantasies morph into
shackles at Dawn's breaking light.
Sequestered in make-believe;
love has brought you to your knees.
Yet, in your dreams, you get to
be with whomever you please.
Desires whisper in shadow of Venus
And seduce intentions of clandestine love
As rhythms attuned to romantic beats
Pulsate zealously in galactic utopia.
Bashful moon titillates lustrous vibes
In interstellar space of floating nebulae
As symphony of emotions arouses
Throbbing hearts in exotic euphoria.
Sizzling bodies elevate mystical aura
Flooding blood-veins’ cosmic jubilation
And longings waltz on sensuous clouds
As jolt of excitement inflames bosoms.
A tango of passions presents a ballet
For one more spin on planetary stage
High on elation of moonlit ecstasy
Savoring kisses of heavenly blessings,
Satiating dreams of forbidden themes
Unlocking secrets of mysterious galaxy.

The male Hine’s Emerald patrols his cattail fen
low through sedge and seepage
his compound eyes pluck gnats from the air
two yellow bars flash along his thorax
hindwings catch the morning
Chimanimani Mountain mist beads over quartz
the female Rock Threadtail
six black feet braced on the edge
her wing tilted toward the sun
eyes—black
He misses the gnat
darts, veers, halts midair, pivots
his ommatidia fixed on her raised wing
smitten, his heading shifts
the female Rock Threadtail rests above her stream
=======
she sat beside the window looking out
a world now blurred by burden of her tears
by sorrow sated, yet she had no doubt
that morn would bring to life her secret fears
upon her lap lay all his letters bound
the multitude of dreams that he had shared
his picture slipped from fingers to the ground
along with all the hopes that he had bared
she pressed to heaving chest the latest one
in which he pledged his love undying true
He hoped with rose her heart he'd finally won
it was a symbol of his passion's hue
all this she pondered as she sat and sighed
for love forbidden had to be denied

Have you forgotten Eleanor Rigby?
Then step up, meet me now, for I am she.
How many weddings have I attended
where it seems a war has been suspended?
For but a few moments, these happy pairs
enjoy their lives as if they have no cares.
I picked up the rice at each wedding,
asking myself why I was attending.
Perhaps just to see our priest once more
Father McKenzie, whom I adored.
There’s no doubt that my passion was true
and that he, surely, must love me too.
So bury me now along with my name
in the cemetery’s corner of shame.
Resting in shadows, our graves can be found
with just two small headstones marking the ground.
Are you one of the lonely like us?
Do you sit alone with no mates to discuss
the remains of the day, two lives not shared?
For the good priest and I never dared
to open our hearts to both joy and pain,
leaving us solitude filled with disdain.

Painting 7: FORBIDDEN
Before darkness steals the light of day,
entering as graceful as the morning mist
in the window ajar, the bitter breeze:
freezing me.
My light clothes short - dances with the curtain
but like the clouds, calm; I stand. My splayed
hands upon the glass condensation.
I exhale in the cold, enduring dreams surge.
Over the years, my golden hair has grown
an old rugged toy is my loyal company.
My eyes journey into the quiet of the world outside.
I wonder what is beyond the sketch of towering trees
as each time the wind lullabies.
I behold their branches' dipping and bowing;
I wish to smell the pines released, they tease.
I am a young girl and I am full of dreams.
Time races and I am forbidden; the limitless
horizon lures. Oh how long, I've wanted to reach,
I've wanted to touch. I've wanted to fly,
I even cried and shouted, I waited,
and waited but no one frees me.

You and I were meant to be...
You and I shared a dream...
we fought for our love...
day to day...
but too many people were in our way...
so many asked...
How could we be?...
We came from two different worlds...
One strict...one free...
love has no boundaries...
that's what we believe...
You and I shared a dream...
now seperated by hate...
What was there to gain?...
Are they happy now?...
Seeing us in pain...
from two different worlds...
we paid the price...
love for each other...
was the Ultimate Sacrafice...
prejudism is no lie...
fight back for love...
for in love there is no crime...
farewell my love...
I'm forced to let you go...
remember I love you...
mind, body and soul...
I know in my heart...
we'll meet again...
God will guide us...
he's our only friend...
I'll be waiting for you...
with my arms open wide...
Take care...
I'll miss you...
Love you...
and...
Good bye.
scarlet streaked with yellow
I lean in to inhale her scent
I reach out to feel her touch
she pricks me
and I bleed
bleed her yellow fever
bleed her scarlet fever
she needs me to bleed
so gladly I bleed
scarlet streaked with yellow...
she grows
she flourishes
in my garden of pain
and delight...

Dear Forbidden Love
I am here to say good-bye.
I know that we are through.
But I had this on my mind...
I wanted you to know that I still loved you even though time has passed.
I know I tried to forget about you, but real love doesn't fade that fast.
I missed you so much I can't explain it so I wont even try.
If there was a way I'd find it if it meant being by your side.
So why should I try and hide it?
My love for you can't ever die.
It can only grow stronger for you.
This is true for a fact my love for you it is so deep that no man nor beast could understand it in the very least.
Our love was unbreakable.
It went beyond the unthinkable.
It went past the sun, moon, and stars.
But even so even it was lost at some point.
Our love was forbidden.
A heart breaker in itself.
Two star-crossed lovers with no one to reach out for help.
This is why I must say good-bye my forbidden love~
She is a dark skin girl
who sings in the church choir
He would see her passing every day
and she sets his heat on fire
He fell in love with her
But they never talk before
He would waits to see her
every day from his front door
He is an Indian boy
Works in his father company
He is an only child
from a very wealthy family
She is just a poor girl
Living down by the train line
She's a down to earth girl
always so polite and kind
One day he sees her walking home
so he went over to say hello
but then sees his father car
So he stop talking and leaves to go
But his father sees him
And at home started to yell and shout
He said "if you to talk to that girl again
You leave the house and get out
Why are you talking to her
To that poor girl who lives in the trace
If any body see you talking to her
you will bring me shame and disgrace
we're arranging marriage to a rich family
With a nice educated girl in san Fernando
We already made the arrangements
and this Sunday we have to go
Well he didn’t sleep all night
He love this poor girl so dearly
And if he don’t do something now
He knows how is his futures going to be
so he lie in bed all night awake
waiting for the break of dawn
then he packs his cloths in bag
and as the sub came up he was gone
Next morning he knocks on her door
her face lights up with a smile
He said if it’s ok with you
I really need to talk to you for awhile
I have always been in love with you
But was to shy to come out and say
but that you know "if you love me to
I will leave my father house today
His father disown his son that day
because their love was forbidden
But they married that that same week
and now have two beautiful children
Parents needs to understand
You can’t control your children mind
When they are grown and seek love
Their own happiness they will find
God created a world for us
With such beautiful nature
Life would be so boring?
If we all were the same color
We live in a world today
Every race thinks they are superior
But no matter what religion you are
There is only one Almighty savior
