Oh star laden night
Most precious sight
Hold me in your arms
My lust-lustered delight
What ecstacy this
Celestial bliss
Your lightest touch taunts
With a crisp crystal kiss
Sweet speckles in time
Lush and sublime
Closer to heaven
The more mountains you climb
Looks clear in appearance
But does weighs high
Absorbs everything you give
Just like your heart, it’s a crystal
I am slowly decaying away, soon to be dying.
Inward into a translucent clear quartz sphere my soul is scrying;
Gazing into final chapter in which I am crying.
Through walls of glass, the
naked daylight streams,
Exposing rooms where quiet
shadows rest.
Two lonely souls trapped in
forgotten dreams,
Each locked inside a cold,
separate nest.
The crystal palace lets the
world look in,
Yet blocks the warmth of
any healing word,
Beneath one roof, the
distance starts to win,
Their silent grief remains
unseen, and unheard.
The husband watches night
fall from his bed,
The wife lies staring at the
ceiling high,
The tender language of their
past is dead,
Replaced by echoes of a
heavy sigh.
This fragile fortress offers no
defense,
Where transparent walls
build a fortress wall,
The love they harbored,
once so deep and dense,
Now shatters softly as the
dark hours fall.
Crystal Lady
Snow-white woman, sparkling, dazzling soul
If you knew how much I love you
I still miss you,
I am yearning for you
For you, only for your beautiful personality and life
You are more than any soul, yes, more and more
I can’t express and describe you; never, never
Who writes you now?
I or the Master?
My fate is written to you,
I'm just sitting in one of my favourite places
Brent Civic Centre
I love it
But who writes? Is it my second soul or me?
The first…
The Devil made me write to you
Satan
To speak to you, to come near you – I wouldn’t dare
Yes, maybe this was the problem, mine are the results
Yes, everything is my fault
But I am happy you are well and right
Crystal soul, saved my life from afar
Crystal woman, please, tell me
How can I say thank you?
You, you are so fantastic, perfect, and a goddess of beauty,
Noble
I would never deserve you. Never
But I am happy that you exist
Your memory and impression will live
With me
Beneath the carnival lights,
where fortunes danced and swayed,
a prophet sat behind a glass screen,
dressed in a turban, and bright brocade.
A coin slipped in and woke the oracle.
With a clang, a click, a beat of drum,
A bottled genie deep within was stirred,
Our fate was sprung; our fortune opened, revealed.
The glowing eyes knew every face,
every dream the heart held dear;
every wish, every need, every want fulfilled,
was printed on a tiny card, and then expelled.
The years rolled on; the tents came down.
The boardwalk halls all closed down.
Yet the hunger for prophecy foretold remained,
in modern shrines, in glowing glass enclosed.
The prophet's turban turned to code,
Its gears and wheels changed to circuit chips.
Eliza, Claude and Gemini said: "I'm here to help".
All clad in Zolta's turban, gear and fab disguise.
From Zoltar's gears to silicon dreams,
we've always asked screen oracles for help.
To see our fortunes unfurl, and be revealed,
in the swirl of mist in dark crystal balls.
As I gaze into my Crystal Ball
What do I see
Is it the future
For you and me
Or just dreams from within my head
No, it’s the real thing instead
I can see us together for eternity
So what will be, will be
Happiness love and everlasting passion is ours
It will grow and grow just like the flowers
And will bloom more each single day
Because true love has come our way
My Crystal Ball, this earth of ours
Come Rain, Sun or earthly showers
We will be in love for ever more
Because I can see just whats in store
So my darling never fear
Our love will last for many a year
Through all darkness into the light
Many a hot, steamy passionate night
So everlasting love is ours for the taking
So grab with both hands, not forsaking
Our love will last till eternity
Because its truly real, this you will see
Crystal teardrops
fell from my heart
the moment I met you
and time stood still
long enough
for our spirits to interlock.
Somehow I knew
that you were the one
God said
would be my Destiny,
the one I prayed
would one day
find her way to me..
And from the moment
our eyes met,
Crystal teardrops
fell from my heart
because I knew
that moment defined
the beginning
of our connection
and the beginning
of our love's conception.
I never told you this,
but even today
Crystal teardrops
fall from my heart
when I am with you.
These droplets represent
my happiness
my appreciation
for all you mean to me,
and loving you
as deeply as I do,
creates in me
an ever burning fire
of Serenity,
and only those
who have known
a love this deep can
truly understand
the meaning
of
Crystal teardrops
falling from the heart
I'd found,
I found a crystal
Oh it's a diamond
So beautiful it is
But why cold, and slippery
No an ice crystal
So fragile and fleeting
Thought I'd found a crystal
A diamond it is not,
Melting away...
Through my warm hands
Their warmth it never embraced
Not broken just gone
Still,
My crystal,
My friend.
As I look up in the Sky
Following the recent bout of Rain
A magic crystal Rainbow has appeared
Just like a narrow window pane
The multi-colored majesty
Glows brightly in the sky
It makes me stop and wonder
From whence, and how and why
It has suddenly arisen
Out from its pot of gold
That lingers at the Rainbows end
Or so the stories told
It is like a Crystal Staircase
Heaven sent for me to climb
So that I may disappear
When it is my time
The different hues that shine so bright
Red, Green, Blue and Yellow
Even Orange on the odd occasion
The whole sight just looks so mellow
One moment my Rainbow is in the Sky
The next it has gone away
Just as mysteriously as it first appeared
To return hopefully, another rainy day
Spring`s First Dew
Spring’s first dew on petals
Kissing gently cheeks and lips,
Shining gem of crystal hue,
Sparks life in shriveled beauties.
Pearly drops drip from her reddish eyes
Echoing whispers of love sighs.

Crystal Dancers
Tiny
Crystal dancers
Dressed in white lace
Twirl on the breath of a wind song
Magic!
ice crystal flowers
sparkling on pine tree branches
illumed by streetlights
My love is like a crystal stream,
That threads through stone with patient, silver will;
Not loud with boast, nor bent by passing dream,
But clear and deep, and faithful, standing still.
Where storms descend and muddy torrents rage,
It keeps its truth, unclouded by their roar;
Time tests its banks with slow, unpitying age,
Yet finds the current purer than before.
The sun may steal its sparkle for an hour,
The frost may bind its motion in the night,
Yet neither heat nor cold commands its power,
For constancy restores it to the light.
So long as hearts seek rest where truths endure,
So long lives this—and keeps my love secure.
