Watercolors

Watercolors, emotions
Blur and blend through each other
With their, dizzy, tinted thoughts
Chaotic, racing sundries
The woman is strong but longs for protection
Where her guard can come down and she can just be
And misty confusion can be ... washed away

Don't we all get tired, shattered by too much thinking?
Don't we all feel powerless and need time to escape?
Unconditional touch can heal with comforting drape
Those unflinching arms, holding on
'Til the hurt is gone

That Alpha male,... he'll say
I'll be your everything
For you,... anything
Let your tears and world fall ... to my shoulders
I will be the bolder one ... for awhile
Until you can summon a smile ... again
Let me take and love your burdens, unto sleep

Ankh (A Vampire's Dream)

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Nightfall, my home
Day be the spade
Sunrise, sunset
To evening shade
As the crow flies
Black as his breast
'Neath is heartbeat
Mine cannot nest

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Life blood, light dreams
Shan't meet or save
This empty soul
Immortal, grave
Yet, sharing hush
Glint gathering
Undamned and free
As the crow's wing

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

I will search for you, my love

My course is straight
As the crow flies
I will search for you, my love

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Simplicity

Complications are overrated
I've hated
Every promise made carelessly
Easily
Thrown away
In patronizing, moody mind game
That's a shame

Complications are overrated
I've waited
For magnitude of simplicity
Clarity
Love for love
Condition less, effortless, unfeigned
Souls unchained

We're so into each other
No one else could understand
How real,... safe and sound it feels
With slightest touch of your hand

The walls ... dissolve
The walls ... dissolve

I won't take (my turn) for granted
Hesitating, disenchanted

No one gets me like you do
(and you do)
(you do)
(you do)

Dandelion

Blow me a kiss, make a wish
Close your eyes
Let me watch the sun dance on your face
Our time here is just for a moment
I carry you, please remember me

Winds of change are at close range
Nightfall waits
Let me move through your floating heartbeat
Winsome momentum is billowing
Sapphire to sable elysian

Blow me a kiss, make a wish
Close your eyes
Let the moonlight find and trace your smile
Ethereal stars will burst forth to glean
I carry you, please remember me

Love is forever
Love is in between
Love is forever
Love is in between

The Fiddler's Ghost

Spring lifts airy notes of gardenia
And mimosa blooms with feathered blush
Warm breezes sail atop the river
Days rustle to fragrant nights of hush

The weeping willow bends and dances
A thousand arms sway their silken vine
The fiddler stays and plays for hours
And he softly sings ... "My love is thine"

Summer settles into fiery trance
Melodic waters flow over moss
River current sprays dawn to dusk glint
Foaming rocks cascade billowy gloss

The weeping willow shelters with shade
Birds rest neath branches that twirl as twine
The fiddler stays and plays for hours
And he softly sings ... "My love is thine"

Autumn charm unfurls lush, rippling gold
Leaves turn crisp and blow across the stream
And Winter winks ice teardrops of frost
The willow weeps, chilled in drape of cream

Ladylove is among all seasons
Violin and euphony enshrine
And twin souls, to each, vow one design
And ghostly lore for true hearts align

The fiddler returns to river's edge
Where love's lady haunts its long shoreline
He stays and plays her song for hours
And she softly sings ... "Forever thine"
