Once

Once we walked among the clouds
We felt the warmth, a satin shroud
We shared our souls, our mates we found
We bared our needs, we heard each sound

Once we gently passed our passion
An angels mist breathed a perfect fashion
We wandered the seas, we floated the breeze,
We spoke our silence, yet heard our decrees

Once we dreamed, we planned, we hoped
With endangered hearts we passionately eloped
My soul wrapped yours in warmth of silk
A guardian heart, a mother’s milk…

Once the breeze enchanted our lives
As floating doves with effortless strides
We mended as embellished pearls,
So gently stroked, warm water curls…

Once we were, love innocent, real, and pure
Unending, we thought we would endure..

Black Orchid in Blood

I am so wide-awake, inside somebody else’s dream
You’ve drifted so far away from my heart it would seem
Beautiful orchid, said love would never die
Could burn in a rage, heart stopped deep inside
I am so sure; everything’s lost in losing you

I wish you were here, seeing the tears I cry
We are oceans apart, love was so real from the start
I am dying inside, I lost everything, and I can’t feel
Only pain, darkness bleeds inside

There is no mistake, you are drifted in others arms
But love was so real; I thought we could never part
Black orchid bleeds, thought love could never die
Was lost in hope, heart eternally cries

There is no mistake, I have lost everything
I lost you, now I eternally die inside

The Poem of Life, Not Death

To my children that I love dearly

The ocean cries out to me and the waves
Invite me to come. I await you!
I have taken pleasure time after time
Soothing my soul over and over again, and
Cried and ocean of tears with my sorrows.
Finally, the ocean and I are one body & soul.
It rocks me back and forth, and soothes me,
For I have longed to be comforted

Don’t cry for me. Send me rose petals and a
Bottled message to share your thoughts.
Let your soul be comforted by the sounds.
Enjoy the waves that greet and welcome you.
No matter where you travel I am not far away.
Come visit me. Talk to me, I will listen
And if your soul is quiet you will
Hear me answer. I will comfort you,
And maybe someday you will join me.

Facing Death

Face Death

Life of Tragedy

The tragedy of a life chastised,
tormented by bitter fears,
leaves the need for walls built by tears
while the heart calls,
no one hears all that seems left is is hopelessness,
and endless years…………….

Glimpse in the Past!

Caught!

Vengeance

The weeping of a midnight slumber
chains the fields a new

With whispers taunting a distant lover
make words judgmental and true

Mourn nothing less then forgiveness
a hand over time speaks ill

Factors come of no consequence
when it is up to you to distill

SEL.

Serpant’s Tooth

Do we ask, do we care.
Crisp. The final chapter of despair.
The endless angles of defeat,
shall bring us closer to conceit.

Why give, in us disown.
Strange. What we grasp we do alone.
The wretched torment of the night,
shall make us nothing, keen in sight.

Would we want, as we lie.
Snide. The mistreated cheat, who tries.
The remake of our hearts we hate,
shall dwindle further to deflate.

Do we owe, what we earn.
Lame. The tankering soul doth churn.
What aimless answers do we hide,
shall in this, our life abide.

SEL.

Thoughts of a Soul

Why dream when you are a reality
you are my hopes and future, my lovers kiss, my embrace
you keep me whole when I feel like breaking, you keep me strong
when my body is aching and I feel I am too tired for this race

I smile when thoughts of you creep up,
that somehow keep me from doing anything
I treasure your warmth in my mind, swirling in my head like ecstasy
your kind rewards, forever yours, my heart, your heart, as one.

Centuries

I see you talk
I watch you walk
You feel eyes upon your soul
Your inhibitions break..

Warmth wraps your spirit
Your freedom speaks
Yet, you try to hide
I reach into your heart
I gently remove your walls
I pull you out…

You stomp your feet, afraid
Lost and innocent
Look into your eyes
Fear wraps you, chokes your soul
I can see you in my eyes
You are trapped again in silent torment
Afraid to be alive…

You walk on glass, on broken shells
You tip toe all around (except when you are stomping your feet!)
You have adventured seas on my wind swept waves
Now you are longing to be free!

What manner of death are you bound within?
Which robs you of your need?
Did you not once leap to your death off the edge of my castle, fearing I am dead?
Conquer it; fear is your crippling disease

For centuries I have lived
You were there before??!!
Fear is a selfish absence of love
Become free of pain, and never hide
Frozen love destroys the heart inside

Remember this,
Time and distance have no power over Me!
Reach, and I am there inside………..
