Paths of Passion

In blazing passion you bit my chest
The scar lasted for over a month but my soul acquiesced
Yet the impression will stay for an eternity
For the sweet tattoo was left on the whole of me
We lay there in the moist hot darkness and I realize
That I have never been touched by woman, truth, or lies
And know that you had done the same to me and my heart
The paths of passion tear my world apart
With a warm embrace my pulse again quickens
The fireworks explode in my spirit
Ecstasy increases as our night’s plot thicken
While love echoes off the walls so clear you can hear it
My muscles grow tired my voice is so weak
All that I have has been given to you
There are no more drops of sweat or words I can speak
That would communicate my love, my lust, my bliss and my joy so true

All of Me Misses All of You

My lips miss the sweet taste of your kiss
My eyes long to view your beautiful bliss
My hands miss touching your soft skin
My ears are empty without your voice dancing in them
My nose misses the sweet flavor of your scent
My heart wonders how the time so swiftly went
The sky is void of all shades of blue
For all of me misses all of you
My legs miss walking beside yours
My spirit wishes again to waltz on your shores
My arms miss being locked in a tight embrace
My vision longs to see the expression on your face
My muscle misses the relaxation of your massage
My mind misses the elegant assuage
The world is less bright and the beauty less true
For all of me misses all of you

On Straight Street

My eyes turned toward the earth in deep dark conceit
Avoiding the glances from the crooked on Straight Street
There shadows make my soul stop and shiver
Their echoes make my rhythm silently quiver
My mouth is covered by this steel reinforced mask
I am lost in the world but for directions I will never ask
My glasses obscure the true outline of my wondering eyes
So I do look around their world without being recognized
My wealth is hidden so perhaps they won’t decide to mug
I walk tall and confident but not like the path of a thug
My mind swims in an ocean of dull but wavering concrete
Dancing in between rain drops on Straight Street
There clouds are opaque and sing with boisterous thunder
Their voices tear walls and weakened fences asunder
The sun is hid behind the long outstretched arms of vaulted trees
My thoughts like kites swimming in the hurricane breeze
I am uneasy in their world though you would never tell
My heart believes it is in heaven but my soul knows that this is hell
The long coat I wear covers the Achilles heal that I own
I only hope that my shoes can take me to my home
My dreams fade and die in the night incomplete
Dodging the piercing stares from the crooked on Straight Street
There buildings are masks to hide fear and sin
Their breath weights the air with bourbon and gin
Flowers never blossom and the grass is never green
Laughter is never heard and kindness is rarely seen
Their world is an innocuous germ my ears avoid
I have lost my peace my equilibrium annoyed
Hope to cross soon into my own neighborhood
Go from dark to light from evil to good

So Vein

Vane
The breath of your soul blows rainbows across my blistered skies
Twisting dancing flying altering the movement of the trees
Without wings your touch gifts solid object strength to fly
Bending rivers and enraging the excitement of the seas
I can sense your touch though I cannot see your connection
For I feel your sensation but cannot tell from what direction
A soft caress that delights the borders of my brain
My dear my love my heart you are so vane
Vain
Your words are blankets that shield my soul from the heat of the sun
But they are bland and hold empty promises that fade
With only echoes and shadows left after the day is done
You turn your heart on every contract that you made
I can sense your insincerity in the corner of your lying eyes
For I feel your emotions though know you cleverly disguise
A cold touch that freezes the melody of my brain
My dear my love my heart you are so vain
Vein
The dreams that vaccinates the shores of my rivers
Alter the current that travels to the ocean
They flow to the core of my heart cause my skin to shiver
And turn my will into confused emotions
I can discern the pulse that inspires such a subtle beat
For I feel the sensation in my skin and in my feet
A gentle touch that confuses the thoughts of my brain
My dear my love my heart you are so vein

Her Gift

When I talk to her she echoes dreams of the possible not fear
She whispers to my world erasing the shadows of doubt
Her encouragement touches my heart through my ears
And changes the shapes of my illusions and thoughts
When my mirror tells me that I can’t succeed
She breaks the reflection and lets me know that I can
She waltzes through my grounds planting seeds
Inspiring chasing horizons and catching rainbow’s hands
When my flesh tells me just to give up and let it die
She holds me tight and stares into my soul
She finds the potion to give me the wings to fly
And convinces me that any lack will become whole
When my will is broken and there are knives in my back
She sutures up the wounds and gently kisses my mind
She makes my emotional bank account go from red to black
And allows me love, joy and peace to find
When pity becomes my morning and evening meal
She cooks a delicacy that fills my souls hunger
She presses and prays until it vanquishes all ill
And my walls are torn demolished asunder
When I feel lost and unloved and alone
She kisses my spirit and shines her smile so bright
She holds my hands and tells me I am home
Tells me she loves me and my world is made right

Celebration of Our Love

There is a new rhythm in the midnight air
Found in the bliss of your smile the touch of your hair
Music and fireworks fill the once vacant night
In your arms is warmth peace and light
The melody decorates the halls of my brain
My soul sways to the vibrant pulse in my veins
Your words caress the paths of my gentle shores
Your beauty fills my world now and forever more
For so long my dreams have felt the touch of your skin
Now my reality is for their realization to begin
My defenses are swiftly torn down by your eyes
The fences bow to your smell and tastes of paradise
My spirit is at home in the comfort of your arms
The scars the secrets the fragile spots are safe from harm
There is a celebration in the stars far above
They sing and dance to honor our love

We Were Meant To Be

There was a day we laid on the cooling sands
Listening to the waves and shore gently dance
We would feel the clouds smile the sun agree
That together we were meant to be
Or spirits glowing flying in the sky above
Celebrating this time together in love
Without words we spoke volumes to one another
Transforming anxious friends to satisfied lovers
Soothed by the whispers that hung in the wind
How I wish this evening would never end
The moon played games with our shadows
Moving them to mimic actions we would know
There is such ecstasy in your touch your kiss
That ignites such passion and such bliss
We can hear in the ocean and in the trees
That together we were meant to be
Our souls so light and so warmed by love’s fire
Celebrating this time of peace and desire
The contour of our thoughts our dreams perfectly blend
How I wish this evening would never end
