The Shores of Elation

In dreams, there is an island 
where we belong, just you and me,
and that little thing we call love
where moon is always smiling
her silver rays on the edge 
where the waters play
while hand in hand we can wander
over the shores of elation
and through the trees in the dark forests
of torment when we stop to make love
beneath the boughs 
my heart sings her name
from the caves of intimacy
the entrance to our paradise is waiting
for my love 
for no ship can take her to this place
again, I call her name and reach for her hand
and with fingers entwined
I take her deeper into the cave
and through the damp darkness
I lead her to my dreams 
and the island of love

Box of Lies

Persuasions offered in their words
Slogans repeated in ways absurd
It must be true on the TV

No biased questions on the news
Political lies and points of views
It must be true on the TV

Reality shows to numb the brain
The masses are easy to train
It must be true on the TV

Poor souls addicted to the soaps
No dignity left and no hope
It must be true on the TV

Some chef made a beef stroganoff
To hell with this I’m turning off
Nothing is true on the TV

A Moment

When hearing future times echo within
A moment to pause and see her within

The innocence of love inside their eyes
And he touches her skin to feel within

Her belly tight with the tension of new life
As ultrasound echoes the proof within

The words of love have now led us to this
For life now grows and we feel it within

Hypnosis

From that first touch 
before I could comprehend
the pulsating movements between our hands 
as our fingers entwined 
to lead the dance
without choreography 
without intention
each step into the unknown
and the rhythm grows
intensifying the senses
into that state of hypnosis
called ecstasy
a rapture that binds me to you
in the chains of desire
where all I need is your hunger
like a spark igniting the fury
at the gateway to oblivion

As Angels Sing

A breath of change as angels sing
The dreams that bring us tomorrow
I’m wearing my heart on a string
No longer caring which winds blow
For love is the deal, the real thing
The only power I need know
A breath of change as angels sing
The dreams that bring us tomorrow
My heart is soaring on black wing
To take you where you need to go
Through the living storms as you grow
You and I have everything
A breath of change as angels sing
The dreams that bring us tomorrow

Nyctophobia

Each night I wake in the same dream 
and I scream into the darkness
I hear your footsteps 
following me
I see your shadows 
haunting me
I feel you

On a starless night in the swarthy heat 
the streets are empty in the godless hours
and the chase is on
I sense you closing in behind me 
so close I can smell 
the sweetness of your perfume

In a brief glance, I see your outline 
a brief moment to forget
the pleasure of your tongue
shattering my sinews
as you touch me
and I scream again

Fear and pleasure mingle 
with the destructive desire of my senses
as your hands caress over me
slow and intense
and your kiss 
silences my cry

My hushed mouth amusing your tongue 
as your body slides into place
and our minds are in fusion
where words have no meaning
as you entice me to reach
beyond the gates
of my own limitation
to utter the words at your command
say it, say it mister
and in a whisper I say
‘I love you’

Cover of Night

The speckled licorice skies close the days
As the sun yields to softer lunar rays
Reflections on the frayed linen patch quilt 
To capture each thread with a silver gilt
Delicate fingers that crafted each stitch
To hold a precious memory in place
A patchwork of time as our thoughts retrace
Such wealth remembering made living rich
Yet time goes by and the patches must fade
As we slept beneath the starlight parade
The solemn witness to passion beneath
Our love embracing the nights unafraid
From the first kiss to scented bridal wreath
Sweet memories that is a quilt’s bequeath

A Man's Desire

Give me your love, a man desires it all
Even though he is undeserving of
Your thought, it’s to your heart he makes his call
So, standing here I say – Give me your love

Or shall these words be lost, never heard of
His heart thus left into the pain and fall
Beneath the skies with only stars above

Your answer, then, can make him small or tall
His soul in your hands like a lost glove
As I say the words that give you my all
Give me your love!

The Time Has Come

The Earth is dying, killed by human kind
The unkind acts of living hell
We want it all but take no time to find
The art of living safe and well

The Earth is dying, but who really cares
Enough to seek a future quest
Our selfish greed that holds no future shares
Our kids will have no place to rest

The Earth is dying, in front of our eyes
Yet no comfort is found today
Despite the warnings from the lands and skies
We think it’s better done our way

The Earth is dying, and the time has come
To face the facts and do what’s right
There is no running back or going home
The time has come to stand and fight.

For the Love of Rain

The languorous skies weigh in
On hazy summer days
Unbroken heat waiting for
The whispers of rain

Sultry nights of too much love
Demanding bodies
Already molten with lust
Find coolness to sleep

The moistness of sweat seems dry
In rising summer heat
Until the first raindrops fall
So joyfully wet

Fragmented summer evaporates
Into autumn shades
As September brings the rain
Rekindling love’s fire

Wet and warm are her kisses
Soft and delicious
Like the shimmering rainbow
Captivating my dreams
