Captivated - May 31, 2010

Captivated

I heard a voice to which the rest of the world was deaf

From the deepest reaches of my memory
The voice grew louder reverberating in my mind
Until escape from the sound I could not see

A familiar voice tantamount to pleasure
Awoke the passion I have inside
Relentlessly engulfing me like a living creature
Removing all desire, I had to hide

Now I find myself here breathing fast and quivering inside
Awaiting like a suspended bead of water
For the voice to wash like the tide over me
I am such a willing absorber

Black - May 30, 2010

Black

Midnight is black without the moon
As if there is no beating heart
An utterly light-less existence hangs in the balance
From which my spirit wishes to part

The glorious moon is that which feeds the river
Of my soul's own living grace
This darkness steals my flow from me
As if my very life is held in place

Without the moon's luminous glow to shine
Upon my ever seeking face
My spirit wanders aimlessly questioning
Why this mishap has taken place

All the air surrounding this blackness here
Has become too thick to breathe
My body continues to exist on this plane
However, my spirit is no longer free

Suddenly I feel the warmth of the rising sun
Breaking free across the blackest sky
My moonless night has ended and my spirit breathes
As I stay to take in this wondrous sight

Imagination - May 29, 2010

Imagination

Come walk along the cliffs of uncertainty
While you search for something delightfully new
There wrapped in an air of wondrous mystery you will find
Where your imagination can take you to

Softly cling to the shadows of infinity
Tenuously locked away in an unpredictable hue
Lost forever in a world that you can create
As you wander away with the moon

Radiantly shining like a bead of clear water
Such as a taste of the morning's first dew
You can come away to this world and discover
How you can become a part of this too

Multi-colored butterflies will be dancing in the forest
Where the whippoorwills sing to the trees
In voices that light up the air so sweet
Like golden honey stolen from the hives of bees

Here the untamed sea can be seen forever
Stretching endlessly across it seems
And you can ride the crashing waves of ivory foam
While gliding on a current of dreams

The winds incessant voice will ring right through you
Whispering of the magical things to be seen
When you come away to this fair land of Eden
One must be prepared for most anything

Gate's Of The Spirit - May 28, 2010

Gate's Of The Spirit

I heard thunder rumble from the edge of the dark horizon
While in the distance lightening flared
Then a perfect silence turned time backwards
As I breathed in the sweetest air

Such unexplained feelings for which I have no words
Suddenly echoed through my locked in heart
A longing for something that left me defenseless
With absolutely no route of escape to embark

An uncontrolled fire emerged as if from my fingertips
Leaving my spirit open with no place to hide
Yearning for a satisfaction I have never known
While melting away all of my pride

A love as pure as untouched spring water
Mysteriously and deeply ruled by the fates
Had broken the chains wound around my heart
And flooded into my spirit's own gates

Trouble - May 27, 2010

 

Trouble

There is impending danger in your eyes
I can see from across the room
You have held my gaze for way too long
My attention you have consumed

I have looked away and back at you
 Each time I do I find
You are staring right into my eyes
As if you can read my mind

  You stare right through me as if you know
Every little secret that I hold
All my private thoughts and wishes too
The ones I have never told

I know that you do not know me
Yet, still I feel you do
And if I do not look away right now
Trouble will ensue

Our Hearts Dance - May 26, 2010

Our Hearts Dance

When you hold me in your arms
Our hearts beat together in perfect time
With a rhythm so soft and low
That's felt like thunder next to mine

Our hearts dance together to the music made
So close, as if entwined
Harmony's created with each move they make
As your heart beats next to mine

My heart will dance with yours forever
Step by step we'll take
We'll keep the rhythm so soft and low
Even when the thunder breaks

Flower In The Ash - May 25, 2010

Flower In The Ash

A lovely flower grows from the ashes of the fire
Blooming splendidly all alone
No trace of char or remnants of the flame
Still the smell of the smoke isn't gone

There is no telling residue on the petals
One would never know the flower's closeness to the flame
Stop and smell the rose so lovely in the ash
Then see if you still feel the same

The flower is a heart that has continued to exist
The only way it knows how to survive
Still blooming in the ash but untouched by the fire
But alone will the flower continue to thrive

There will come a day when the flower of the heart
Can move away from the ashes of the fire
Learn to live again in a garden full of flowers
And the smell of the smoke will expire
