A Time To Recall

Here I am, not much to say, 
Save how can we go on this way?
We wander silent halls of stone
In search of what we've never known,
The love to make us want to stay.

Tall pillars high, reach skyward yet
For all the truths that men forget
And while I look up to the sky
And watch the windswept pennents fly
I feel the sadness of regret.

An age ago when dreams were such
They tainted wakefulness too much
And made my heart so wishful when 
I knew not what I wished for then.

I'll always think of you and smile
At thoughts of your impressive style
And all the times you made me feel
The love we thought we had was real
And soothed my lonely heart awhile.

My thanks you have for being you
And for all the happiness that we knew.
Forgive the tears I never shed
And more for when I never said
How much, in truth, that I loved you.

An old romantic fool am I
Upon the heart I shaall rely
If indifferent I may seem
It's because I live within a dream

So chasten not my aloofness so
While I have nowhere else to go
And only wait for love sublime,
Within this silent pantomime.

I live within the dream you see,
The only way I can be me,
Innside myself where I shall wait
For one with whom I can relate.

If

If all my life was black and white
I'd still see you in color.
Flaming red for your desire;
Could it be any other?

If daydreams could be seen by all
Then censored, mine would be
To hide the raging passion well
Among stark scenery.

If I could have all that I want
Then I'd die happily,
And you'd be told, "Do not be sad,
She died of ecstacy."

If we could dance among the stars,
Make love in zero G,
Then all the world could disappear
To leave us peacefully.

If once upon a time is for 
Forevers, happily,
Then we shall find each other again
To reap eternity.
Remember?

Our stolen kisses kindling fire,
A trusted friend who fueled desire;

Empassioned by the force of lust,
Protected by our perfect trust.

Thanks, Paul

Among The Oaks

In between the spaces lie
The secrets held within a sigh
Wherein I keep a history
That will not fade as time goes by.

The flash to flame, the searing fire
Whose breath, its life, is our desire
Upon the stone hearth where we lay
"Till the tidal flood washes it away.

The spirit has remade the flesh,
Thus our two souls, surely bless'd
By warmth and joy as we lay here,
Content to let our bodies rest.

Exorcist

I cannot sleep,
My dreams persue,
The very essence of them, you.
Taunting, testing me inside,
From you, my love, I cannot hide,
A victim of disgraceful pride.

Facing you I cannot bear
Yet, turn away? I wouldn't dare
To miss one moment of your smile
To capture me with charm and style;
And in my bitterness beguile
Me in this hope a little while.

You make me wonder at the strength
It takes, forsaking all at length,
Be-friending those who're still around,
Who in your eyes are victims bound
By their resemblance to the hound.

The deepest wound that cannot heal,
This stolen, broken heart I feel;
For hearts are stolen then they break,
As mine is, found here in your wake,
Worse knowing it was my mistake
For wanting what I would not take.

Oh, man of wond'rous dreams unreal
Who once I thought, I wished was real
To take the place of fantasy
To rival all reality.
How comes it to and end like this,
Good-bye without a farewell kiss?

Come to me in dreams No More!
Travel swift to some distant shore!
Just, leave me! in my loneliness
To forget what, I must confess,
Is better gone with it's distress
If all that's left is emptyness.

Yes, there's more!
