Fire Euphony

The day slowly wanes,
Our camp is all set,
Stacking the wood,
Pressure we forget.

The first flame flickers,
A tiny little dance,
Growing and burning,
Luring us into a trance.

Slowly we open,
Our pasts float free,
Stories and laughter,
No where to flee.

The fire burns brightly,
Calming our doubts,
Smoke swirls around,
Contentment sprouts.

I see who you are,
Simple and complex,
Outside so calm,
Harmony inside perplex!

Next to the fire,
I see your ease,
The man before me,
I love to tease!

This something that grows,
A fire within,
Open to me, release the flow,
Here we begin!

Torn

The tears slide from inside to out,
This pain unbearable no doubt,
Torn and bleeding,
The time is coming,
Decide I must,
Forcing me to be,
Which one is he?

A crime is this?
Love of two at once,
Separate, sacred each love strong.
Lurking in front,
The decision I can’t prolong.
I toss and I turn sleep I hunt,
By my side which one belongs?

Two loves so diverse!
One breathe held, patient is he,
The second in trust yet to immerse.
Safety is there in both that I share,
Different in form leaves not a clue.
My choice unclear, burden I bear.
Tormented soul whispers adieu.

A crime I commit,
To whom I submit?
From one I must part,
Matters of love a fine art,
Emotions unsound,
Ecstasy in one is found.
Two men loved, one a future bound.

Red to Blue

My world keeps changing, 
     from red to blue.
I close my eyes, 
      revolving thoughts of you.
Time is so short,
      I feel I must rush.
Oh dear lord,
     my spirit self doubt will crush.
I stand before you,
     pleading for release.
Earthly demands,
     I scream now to cease!
My world keeps changing,
    from red to blue.
Oh dear lord,
    I so need you!

Valleys of Glass

Exhausted and wary,
She parts through the trees,
Fingers clinging to her,
Crying and longing,
For a minute to rest,
The priestess stands staring,
Little hope in her breast.
The valley so stunning,
Mesmerizing and cold,
Crystal mountains, rivers of ice,
Siren sounds echoes,
Harmony of a Valley of Glass,
Seducing songs glide,
Gently her hand does one grasp,
Come now, dear one,
Your time to rest is near,
One step forward,
No more to bear.
Her blood answers the source,
A call she must heed,
It is deep within her,
Born of his seed.
Her first step slices,
Straight through to her soul,
Rich blood gushes,
River so deep,
Rushing from her,
Soaking her feet.
Drenched and swooning,
Stop she cannot,
Voice to answer,
Rhythm, so strong,
Flows through her veins,
Pouring forth freely,
She is grateful for pain.
The moon beams dance,
On rain soaked glass,
Blood flows freely feeding the grass.
The Goddess drinks deeply,
Grateful and parched.
Gushing forth,
Ancient thirst,
Only blood can quench,
Knowledge so forbidden,
On the knees,
A heart tells the truth,
Torture is sweet,
Sensation relieves,
Pain is a gift in order to heal.
A mind so sharp,
Tumbles and shatters,
She fears her faith,
Ego she flatters.
Help me she pleads,
Inhaling thick mists,
Swirling around her,
Bats and spiders snicker,
She calls to them slowly,
Please end this I plead!
As the web grows thicker,
Wet and sticky like jam,
Childhood joys fade and flicker,
Silence is held,
Burying the screams,
Her life floats away,
Frozen and bleeding,
Her muse emerges from dreams,
His face is in front,
Changing and gone.
Frigid and glacial,
Crimson and clear,
The calling pours forth,
The essence a tear.
Beating heart shatters,
Solid from fear,
Gasping for breath,
Liquid air does she breathe,
Drowning slowly,
No time to atone!
The past is in front,
Future behind,
For neither do matter,
A moment at hand,
Floats in her mind.
Sinking like quicksand,
A soul pulling away,
Looking down upon her,
Nothing to say.
Suddenly from nowhere,
Arms around her embrace,
Life of the oaks circles,
Her life,
A moment,
Her soul to grace.
Flying to the branches,
Hummingbird whispers,
Life so fragile,
Alone no more,
The oak will not fail,
Strength so pale,
Lean on another,
Message to send,
Learn now she must,
Or her life will end.

Out of the Blue

You snuck up behind me,
Sliding out of the blue.
I did not want nor seek,
This love I feel for you.
 
A butterfly I desired,
With dew kissed wings.
To fly carelessly,
Never to dream.

Laughing and carefree,
Forever I seek,
Fast moments of pleasure,
Never "Forever" did I speak.

Denial is lost,
This feeling will last,
The door you opened,
I must deal with the past.

Alone you leave me,
This I must do.
I pray I might see,
The one is it you?

HI all.. new interesting webring...

Let us see how this comes out.. I joined this new webring...

God in Due Time

A life so full,
One of grace,
Daily I strive,
To balance the pace.

From the heart,
Truth so bold,
Desires denied,
Trust in the old.

Beliefs are soon shattered,
Confusion exists.
Faith so shallow,
Praying for bliss.

The mists of the path,
Foggy and dense,
Lessons of suffering,
Joy sings from the fence.

Slowly I learn,
Why must I suffer?
To give so easy,
To receive is tougher.

Open the heart,
Risk to be taken,
Balance of two,
Not be forsaken.

Alone I now sit,
Life scattered and tattered.
Of my own making,
Does it really matter?

Strength from within,
Now I must find.
Depend on one self,
God in due time.

Moths to a Flame

The flame burns bright
Moths circle and chant
Around and around they go
Back off they cant

Drawn to the motion
The shadows and heat
Moths dive deeply
Their ends do they meet

The men dance around her
They are the moths to the flame
Circling and diving
Screaming her name

The muse knows not
A flaming heart she holds
Hope she clutches close
Love opening the folds

She seeks for the one
Dancing around the flame
Courage he has
Regardless of his shame

The moths dance around her
The wings singed black
Her flame is a song
Sanity they lack

She cries for each one
They know not what they have done
Life snuffed out quickly
Her flame is the sun

Tears of a muse
Lost and depressed.
Life has no meaning
She prays for a rest

Tears of a river
Deeper and fast
Her flame extinguished
She prays for the last

The moth that circled
So far and so slow
Her heart flickers
Trust does he sow

Forever so strong
Her weakness revealed
A muse so human
Her fate once sealed.

Forever alone
Past to atone
The muse cries freely
Afraid to believe

Falling to her knees
She begs and she pleads
Patience and kindness
Love to fill her needs

The moth dances to and fro
Uncertain of where to go
To her and away
Now he can’t say

Patience and balance she must learn
So long has she lived
Her flame forever to burn
Trust the key to a heart that will never flee.

Muse Music

I smile to myself as slowly you become
Listening to the muse
You glow and you shun
The past and the future for us there is none

Fly high dear friend
Live with glory
Understand the gifts
Content moments writing your story

Tears travel slowly mixing with the dew
Forever a solitary walk
Comfort alone in memories for few who knew..
Fate of a muse

The dance of the sacred
A muse who enchants
Young men to question
Whispers of their souls chants

Her fate she embraces like a warm summer breeze
Loneliness banished with a waltz of a bee
Poets, carpenters, lovers and dreamers
They come to her lost and forlorn

Her laughter is rapture
Challenging to open rusted hearts
Dusty minds that rarely were used
Marriage of the two left many confused..

Be on your way, skipping across lava
Gently she whispers forever tomorrow
Learn and be happy for one day you will say…
Mountains or Oceans hold neither at bay.

A word so kind
Confession of truth
Departing fears
Edifying muses.

A hint
A guess
Thinking deep
Time unfolds

Expectations dashed
Life a wonder
Only a moment,
Now to be lived.

I did not know
Pleasure so bold
Appreciation shows
Honesty richly told.

Joys of life
Thankful today
Rich and rife
Spirits play!

Swirling snow waltzing around us
Creeping dark flees towards the light
Endless hope infinitely blooms
Dawn forever dances on the horizon.

Thankful the muse
Grateful to know
No longer unique
Alone no more to go.

The muse is tired
She hears the call
Captured by laughter
Her men of life’s ball!

Deceptions

I thought it was done,
I believed it was over,
That door was closed,
Hope for the future!

I whispered,
No…
As the story was told.
Lies,
Deceit,
Hatred,
Dishonor,
Betrayal….

What had I done?
I am no villainess,
Reception of the vile,
Truth a horror to behold,
How can this be?
Your hatred is so bold!

You call me the darkness,
You say that I lie,
You label me insane,
As Anavian slides through your brain.

No more will I take,
The wounds still to fresh,
Enlighten all other,
I go now to rest.

Truth

Truth

It knocks on my gate,
Recognizing the fate,
I turn to run,
Truth soon to come.

A heart so hollow,
Pain to follow,
Your character I label,
I see now a fable.

Creaking and straining,
Truth stands reigning,
Deaf are the ears,
Eyes filled with tears.

Fault is my own,
The seeds I had sown,
Closing my eyes,
Your lies seemed so wise.

Truth is the tower,
It holds all the power,
Shallow you be,
Never to see.

The path I chose,
Never to lose,
Light from within,
Love never a sin.

Salty Sweet Tears

Salty sweet tears
Pool and form
Silent puddles
Lakes of desire
Fathomless
Lush
Surroundings hushed
Rich greens
Deep Blues
Moist
Rare
Trust in you
Do I dare?

Salty sweet tears
Friends
Love
New and fair
Easy
Determined
Time thunders in
Slow the Way
How we begin.

Salty sweet tears
Mending hearts
Baffling trust
To give
Is not a sin
Still I battle
Here I pray
No longer to win.

Salty sweet tears
I cry today
My heart
Fills with joy
Truth is shown
To think
Is not the way.

Salty sweet tears
Lead me to you
Slowly I open
Listening
Whispering
An answer
The secret
Kept
By two.

Salty sweet tears
Immersed
Trusting
A final breathe I take
Slowly I sink
Drowned in the lake.

Salty Sweet tears….
My heart will you break?

The Flow

The stream of time
Called by the ebb and flow
Sirens of the sea sing
People grace our shores
Polished pebbles of their essence
Left behind
Immersed in sea foam
Rolling through the sands
Beckoning remembrance
Soul marrow
Love
Sorrow
Ecstasy
Contentment
Circling moons of our destiny
Full
Half
Crescent
New
Opening doors
Closing doors
Forever a timeline not ours
Sleep
Next to me
Near but far
Which door is ours?
Changes
You
Me
Both
Neither
Ringing laughter
Glides through my heart
Knocking on the wall
Erect between us
Slowly your soul
Leaks forth your nectar
A smile
Dancing laughter
Soulful eyes
That can not look in mine
Lento sun rising
Strong and warm
Potent and pure
Opening doors
Closing doors
No longer one
We crest
on our shores
Leaving pebbles
and foam
Scattered
Along our beaches
A memento
or a pearl in the making?
