Life in the shade was good

Your fame left me aglow

Finding you loved another

Dealt my ego a heavy blow

I thought love was exclusive

Deceit turned me to a saddo

No more your sole princess

Shade darkening to shadow

Now shade enfolds my rival

She enjoys your reputation

Seeking not the limelight

Knowing what is her station

Maybe I wanted too much

Another crisp Autumn morning.

I wake before dawn, 

hoping I won't think of you, 

but I do. I always do. 

Though you are not with me, 

I feel you, in the brisk breeze,

spreading golden leaves,

on sacred ground.

Flow with me,
past stormy seas of isolation, 
fear, dis-ease... to an
island of peace and harmony.

Flow with the Eagles,
past winds of regret, mistakes, 
shame... to the mountaintop of
freedom.

Flow with the lyrical Doctor,
past pain, loneliness, despair... 
to healing waterfalls where wishes
come true.

One day I looked 

inside my head

And there I found

words left unsaid:

Make haste
No time
Forbid
Hate love
Always shout
Never listen

So, I put haste in the waste
Told No to go!
Put a lid on bid
Locked hate in a crate 
Gave shout a clout (until it ran out)
And
Got rid of never, forever

I'd like to think
That what remained
In all of us 
Is preordained:

Mak...

Shimmering lights dance in her eyes

Shimmering lights cannot dispel

Like the fire inside my soul

A cold darkness that grasps at my soul

A velvet touch cannot disguise

Persistent beeps, and sanitised smells

Two hearts that yearn to be whole

Infesting a heart that I stole

Beneath the fabric of power and love

Unfaltering floors with a sinister gleam

Sensations fulfi...

I

and I alone

upon my bed of cobbled stone

Ponder

   As my flesh weeps into gravel sheets

I ponder what it must be like

to be whole again

   To feel I had a soul again

This dessicated shell

crumbles like mountain scree

down, down to the hungry, black sea

lapping and licking at the feet of my bed

dragging out, with the tide, 

such meagre light from my hea...

You stuck your fingers up me and didn’t even know my name

You grabbed my ass and blamed it on the drink in your hand

You kissed my neck and pulled me into you

I was yours for the night---that one night.

I was too drunk and you knew. Yet you kept going

You kept going down on me further and further.

My bra somehow came off and you began to suck

I didn’t know what was going ...

Instead of inhaling 

doom and gloom, 

let’s take a walk

in the woods, 

play hide and seek 

among willow trees,

Feel the sun rejuvenate our soul, 

Become one with dirt and rain, 

bathe in the healing fluid from mother nature’s veins, 

petrichor,

just what the doctor ordered.

where are you 

I have been waiting
looking for you 

are you still coming
or am I bound to see

that you have existed  
but not solely for me

Winter fades as spring melts

Distant snow like gleaming candles

Waiting feverishly for

Golden flames of sunlight

Dancing in the summer sun

Racing clouds nod to

Gleeful birds gliding naked and mating

Straddled to wet and swooning trees

Delirious with laughter and primal need

While butterflies fly sweetly

Soft as breath on stone

Cool ice melting fingers

Life

Life is

Life is pure

Life is pure torture

Life is pure torture with you 

Love

Love is

Love is freedom

Love is freedom denied

Love is freedom denied by you 

Hope

Hope is

Hope is eternal

Hope is eternally gone

Hope is eternally gone in you 

Death 

Death is

Death is coming

Death is coming fast

Death is coming fast for you.

We are as different 

as the sun and moon,

circling the same universe,

with an omnificent God 

you don’t believe in, 

for adventures in love, 

you among the trees, 

me with my muse,

who today, lives in you.

As we are born unto her
It is her fire that keeps us warm and safe
It is she who sacrifices all.

As we grow unto her
It is she we keep close too
It is she who sacrifices all

As we grow from her
She is never far from us

For she is our heart and our soul
A mother's love is a blessing to her child 
As The Lord intended

Your hand unfurled

Revealing stars 

You'd captured while out dreaming 

They drifted skyward:

Little wisps of hope

Reaching out like ethereal streaming

I breathed them in 

As dawn brightened 

The stirring sea

And downloaded all the wonders

Of what you and I

Could, one day, grow to be.

NB.

(Ethereal Streaming is not available via Netflix)
