“The twinkle of stars got caught in my true love’s eyes.” by author
Like stars which into a night of ebony come peeping,
I glitter as he holds me; I think I’ll not be sleeping.

Darkened at the crescent lights;
shines above the horizon
I arose gave thanks
good and beautiful is this new day sight;
God has awakened us in the dusk, of the new day
His breath in us.
beautiful arise dear one in praise,
twilight before you become vertical
Gaze in His sight our Father God
Has given us, His peace, hoy and love
Is such a beautiful sight

Clear, sincere, friendier eyed.
Purer that, star-lit!
Which beauty of love, now dimmed.
Daily and nightly.
The world he once gazed up at.
Child, peopled for it.
All he feels since burns through him.
Hateful thus ugly.

Gazed
at me,
fireflies dance;
My stomach flips,
guts left inside out;
I don’t think I can breathe,
your face is just close enough;
Can you taste my salt in the air?
Captured within so gentle a tease,
catching buttery butterfly kisses.

celebrate the birth this day
have you not heard the total story?
Christ child was born upon the hay
Mary became so very weary
Joseph thought 'what could I do'?
for her to make her feel much better
gazed at the child so young and new
became concerned about the weather
he took the woman and the child
he headed north, a lonely road
he said 'we'll be there in a while'
he knew he had a precious load
'thank you' she said in a voice so small
just like he promised, they did arrive
he said 'don't worry, not at all'
good night, good night he said good night

Why wallflower hearts need such a hard shove
tho' reckoning an endless friendship grown.
Wi' turned pedal eyes' slow blossom to love
in yesterday's finest summer wind blown.
Wonder will unquiet heart stop midbeat
boyish peril calm and sweat'd palm betrays.
Enticed perfume's smell as trembling lips meet
fulfilled in deep need under heaven's gaze.
So easy said as two friends forever,
could I've but known alone's high price to pay.
Promise kept in knife's sharpest endeavor..
when fool bravado'd soul gave yours away.
Once so familiar heart left at love's feet,
still savor days heaven chose ne'er complete.

Away in fathoms
Way across the horizons
Gaze I stand above the clouds
I'm floating high above the grounds
Destinies plays
Reality stays,
no longer a phantom am I
For you see I'm intangible tangent
As the scrolling skies

As I Gazed Awestruck, Thankful For Such Lush Bounty
When you directed flames- my lust anticipated
your red-lips brushed my cheek- I knew it was Fated.
Will you seek those lover's days again as oft do I,
you in mini-skirt, high black boots and gleaming eyes?
There was gentleness in your soft kiss and wet lips,
why we never slept on our overnight camping trips?
Your sexy body, loaded with heat and welcoming thighs
my mind so inflamed and your soft moaning cries!
Dawn's new lights, you uncovered in naked beauty
as I gazed awestruck, thankful for such lush bounty.
Now we gaze into lost paradise, again we lust
for fires unquenchable, once again, that loving trust.
Say, tell me, you watch for words to again meet
for love, my future vow to again lay roses at your feet!
For long nights of ecstasy and red-hot flames burning
for love's hottest fires, rekindle our youthful yearnings!

I gazed at the stars, one summer night,
When all of a sudden, my heart took flight,
With the deepest scars, I summoned the heavens,
Asking why it had to be, that we were apart,
I sat there thinking of you,
Wondering if you were thinking of me too....
A myriad of past dreams, clouded my heart,
Why did destiny make us worlds apart?....
You were the only one who knew me,
And with you,
Is where I longed to be......
I didn't ask to depart from you,
And I could feel you missed me too,
Yet all I knew is my souls tears,
Were lost in worldly fears.....
You were my Beloved,
Yet self created dreams separated me from you,
If I could build a stairway to the highest of heavens,
I'd take you there with me,
And all our pain would cease to be,
And we'd be lost in love eternally.

What are you doing
What are you doing
What are you doing..
....Babylon ?
Having come full circle it seems: a series of dreams and no
Pilate you would hold no power over me, lest it were granted thee from
Above thus they whom carve these days, have the greater sin ? Caught amid
Your whirlwinds churning out sorrows, upon sorrows; a heartless machine void
Of conscience pitter patter the babies tiny feet; racing past, his carnage this jungle....
She screams round-a-bout her world adrift in disarray ? Nailing night unto Love's cross.

I’m star gazed of a moon that shines so bright. A bright moon that lights up my night.
I’m star gazed of the beauty that aluminates in the darkness that shines through.
Beauty that opens your heart and makes you dance with the shadows of truth.
I’m star gaze of this beauty and this beauty is you!
