I Could Rule the Sky

i could rule the sky
you could rule the sea.
the birds would carry essences of you up to me
carried in their golden beaks
while i would reach down to you 
through the clouds as rain.
i would fall a thousand times
into your deep bosom.
a dream of kings.

the years go by 
but they do not scare me
for i know there will always be
a part of you that will dwell within me.
nothing can separate us for long.
i will find you wherever you may be.
as the Sun and the Moon
are destined to be together, 
so are we.
i will be the golden sky
making love to your silver sea

Your Blue Eyes Shine In the Green Waters

i am the golden hero
fighting
slaying men
deep, where the battle rages

in the pale winter field
warriors die all around me

your blue eyes shine
in the green waters
they are watching
they are the eyes of mercy

i am the wayfarer
i rule dark shining towers
where the dead kings
rest in sleeps of peace
their souls
carried by my golden eagles
beyond the seven heavens

Blue Eyes

blue eyes 
watching me
my golden eyes 
watching you

blue eyes

blue eyes
burning like fire

blue eyes
of shining stars 
blue eyes

armies and fleets
falling to your power

falling to the power of your 
blue eyes

your blue eyes
are the sacker of cities
cities full of villains
and broken spirits

your blue eyes are watching
as men and women flee
from burning, falling buildings

they flee before the power
of your blue eyes

The Golden Field I Wander

the golden field 
i wander
teems with life
like your naked body
teems with life.
i close my eyes
and listen to the 
song you sing.
i think of the joy 
and happiness
your love brings

Follow Your Heart My Love

follow your heart my love
let it guide the way.
it will lead you beyond
the gates of mystery
and fear not
for fear is a lie
only love is real.
like the love i have for you

As My Lover Swims

as my lover swims
in the blue waters
under the golden Sun
the birds sing a song of love.
she stands alone
perfectly
in a sea of pearls.
the Sun rays shine upon on her milky skin.
Neptune's kingdom was built for her

I Saw You Standing Wearing a White Gown

i saw you standing wearing a white gown
upon your head was a golden crown
and violet filled the room around you.
why watch the sunrise
when i can watch you rise?
your golden hair
your pale soft skin
of all the women
of all the nations
none surpass your beauty.
love was born in the darkness
you brought me into the light.

The Stars Shine In Your Naked Body

the stars shine 
in your naked body.
i climb the silvery ladder
which leads to 
your golden love.
you appear to me 
as from another world
another place.
the man who is your lover
is equal to a god.
i fall into the depths 
of your heart.
it takes me away

As She Steps Out of the Blue Waters

as she steps out 
of the blue waters
a thousand mysteries 
dance all over her skin.
the ancient goddess
holds up the night sky.
the rider rides
his burning chariot 
across the stars.
and i am alone 
with my love

The Fire Burns In the Dark Forest

how many nights
have i not lain beside you?
how many Suns and Moons
have come and gone?
like my love 
has come and gone.

time has shown its face
and taken my lover away.
the fire burns in the dark forest
beside the lake
in which the white swan
sings her name
