Poetry

... the expression of the soul

Unless otherwise stated, the following selections are my own.

Your Eyes

My love ... I have known your eyes before
Eyes that tell of love ... once more.
Your eyes can see inside my soul ...
My nakedness, complete and whole.
Your eyes light fires where there are no embers ...
This is what my soul remembers.
Your eyes can set my heart afire
And fill each cell with such desire.
Your eyes caress me with their gaze
Love's passion has me all ablaze.
Your eyes unlock a lust once hidden
And tales of love that was forbidden.
Our eyes, now locked in sweet embrace
Our bodies join, we're face to face.
Now you know who holds the key
Your eyes ....
Your eyes bring forth the love in me

The Phantom

You are like the Phantom
Each day without warning
You are with me.
I try to capture you
To hold you ...
And then you are gone ...
Gone into that place
Where dreams come from.

A vision of your face draws near
I raise my lips
In tender expectation.
My thirst is great ...
My mouth opens to taste your pleasure
Like a young bird would greet it's mother.
Then you vanish ...
Gone into that place
Where dreams come from.

The Awakening

What is this new awakening ...
Is this what love is?
Oh .. lull me back to sleep ...
Release me from it's bittersweet grip.

Your hands, etched with the labours of your life,
Have caressed my awakening heart.
Which now beats like the wings of the ducks
Returning to their nests at dusk.

Shall I deny this rush of passion?
Does one block a bubbling stream?
Light shines from within the forest floor
As it does from my heart's opening door.

I feel your mouth on mine, hungering ...
As I do for the very essence of life.
The turning maples provide a canopy above,
The pale green moss, a carpet for our love.

Sounds of love now join the chorus
Of the Universal song before us.
You have released me from the shadows ...
My heart runs free across the meadows.
