Baby of Mine

Baby of mine so precious and new
My life changed forever for the better in you
So sacred and innocent your soul shines through
Life, given to me in God's own view
My rigorous strain to ensure your birth
I look in your eyes and know my worth
Immediate love for a stranger is here
Like lightning our hearts merge without fear
Your fingers curled tightly around mine
And I know in a moment it will all be just fine
Your scent I take in with a breath like my last
Inhaling generations of love now past
In my heart your essence I'll always keep
As I watch you slowly drift off to sleep.

Innocence Lost

The image taunts her as she feigns sleep
Purposely driven to her essence
And as sure as it is there, it is evil
It drifts around the room like a lost ship at sea
The mysterious shadow lingers in loneliness
Her body paralyzed as her mind races
What is it?
Will it damage or deliver her?
Eyes appear - cold in the moonlight
She trembles under cold, calloused hands
They move incessantly over her core
Navigating their way to her forbidden succulence
Starved for a voice, her cry remains unsounded
Forced to consciously await the completion of his torture
She squeazes her eyes shut tight
Tears guide their way to her sweat soaked pillow
Life is endless in these moments of anguish
Her fight is flooded by eminent strength from this figure of iniquity
His pleasure is evident as he enters her soul
Innocence lost in an escapade of transgression
Eternity is less than the ravishment which seems to finally conclude
Leaving a purulent stench in the air around them
He stands and stares a moment regarding his achievement
Her exanimate body is left to recollect the horrendous terror
What will become of her?
The endless panic has ceased, but won't it haunt her existence forever?
Scarred, she can only breathe - in and out - her only release
The image of pain has gone, and her life changed for good.

We Merge

His shadow envokes me as he approaches my arms
My beacon throbs in the realm of his scent
Our hearts merge into a fit of passion
Bodies tremble with the ache of sensuality
The satisfaction of our attainment emits tears
As we conclude our escapade of ardent love making
Fulfilled am I under his erogenous spell
inevitable dormancy awaits me after the episode of pleasure we shared
And our submission ends when we drift off to sleep...

Little Girl

As the day now breaks
Run child run
What a beauty it makes
Run child run
Life is your clay
Run child run
Mold it each day
Run child run
You golden hair glows
Run child run
Your serenity shows
Run child run
Everlasting, pure in heart
Run child run
From God, shall never part
Run child run
A breath of fresh air
Run child run
Exist without a care
Run child run
Now that the night is young
Run child run
And the last song has been sung
Run child run
Sleep sweet fairy girl
Run child run
The world shall be your pearl
Run child run...

Inevitable Existence

Life is now and yet we cry
Unable to see the reasons why
Our existence is clear in our dreams
But unclear what it all means
We live, we love, we lie
What is it when we cry?
The ache of life's passion
To feel as though we're crashing
Through nights of cold and winds of peace
Slipping along in a fit of grease
Creations reborn, seasons change
Now is impossible to rearrange
Make no mistakes on this endless ride
Impossible happenings unable to hide

Life

So solemn how weak we are
The mind, such a treacherous plateau
Dancing in life on a runway of madness
We slip, we fall, our essence lost
Sorrow caves around our existence
When you can't have it all
And just a little claims too much
We weep for nothing but a moment of relief
For our tears shed the burden of our soul
Until, all too quickly, the rality coaster begins once more
Stripping us of our every being again and again...

The Greatest Loss

Staggering I walk in a blanket of despair
I search for you knowing that you are not there
They said of your passing in a short telegram
Beligerance yielding my mind like a dam
The future is chaotic so I choose not to think
Within the bed we shared I fall slowly and sink
Into the deep down pillows tainted with your scent
Reminiscing of our lives together spent
Sleep awaits needy like a child for love
I beg for answers from the Lord above
I must go on, says a voice in my head
I stare to the floor at the tears I've shed
I must rid my soul of the love we shared
But as I close my eyes all I can be now is scared.

The Hidden

In the night, in the dark, in the cold
Will I feel your soul?
My love, my tears, these fears
You shall never know
Kept tight, I make you smile
Stare for just a while and cry
For you I shall anytime die...

The Night

The sky is bright
And yet it's night
The stars, they whisper in soft moonlight
My favorite time
Purely sublime
Expansion trembles in a clever rhyme
Crisp cool air
Wind in my hair
Impossible not to sit and stare
Blanket of peace
Such a release
Breathless, I hope it to never cease
Dawn is now
Unfortunate how
Evening has ended and so takes it's bow
