Longings





Longings

Feel me
reaching inside you
touching your heart
caressing your soul.

I want to bury my head 
in the chest of your soul,
imbed myself 
in the warmth of it,
soak myself 
in the rays of it.
I want to
be you, 
know you,
from the inside out.

I want you in me
feeling, from the inside
how my heart beats for you,
my soul aches for you,
my collective whole
cries out for the presence of you.

Like two missing pieces
in the puzzle of life,
we find one another.
We fit,
we belong,
we find our home,
where destiny calls us,
where we are one,
finally complete,
as the halves 
become whole.

Betrayal

Is it not betrayal
when his hands touch me
and I wish they were yours?
Betrayal to you, to me,
AND to him?

Crying, 
I bury my head
deeply in the pillow
to muffle my tears,
leaving them silent;
for only me to share.

It is in these moments
that I hate 
who I am,
what I have become.

There are no winners
and no losers here
only silent whispers
from the 
corners of my mind
telling me 
my house 
is not in order.

Silent Whispers

Under cover of dark
muffled by the wind
and noises of the night
I hold my breath 
and draw you in
to that special place 
that is ours alone
where no-one will
disturb us
and we belong only
to each other.

Holding tight
to your heart
I feel your love
soft and warm
surround me
I bathe 
in the warmth
of you
rejoice 
to the sound
of you

Our hearts 
beat as one
in two bodies
only complete
when they share
all that is within them
with that other half.
 
Our bodies
created uniquely for each of us,
and yet, made to fit
as we know they will
the missing pieces of our lives
bound forever
by the silken threads of love.

Basking in the Glow

Like bathing 
in the yellow warmth of holy water...
or making love 
long and leisurely 
on a Tuesday afternoon:
the rest of the world 
caught up in work 
and realities,
while we travel across the heavens-
our wings carrying us 
to new worlds of beauty
the colors of rainbows...

Like fields of flowers 
on a summer afternoon,
where daisies dance 
to the tune of the gentle breeze

Like walking into the light; 
being immersed in the light;
becoming one with the light.
I am the trees and the skies and the angels,
the newborn baby testing her lungs
and the fawn in the forest, 
raising itself 
on shaky toothpick legs.

I am the smell 
of the salty ocean air,
the dewdrops clinging to grass
bathed in warm summer rain,
the lilacs in springtime
and the earthly smell of fire
on a crisp autumn afternoon.

I am a melody
the mystical flute
and an African drum beat

Pablo Picasso, 
rolled into DaVinci,
with a sprinkling of Rembrant,
some Reubens for warmth,
and Monet’s romantic pastels.

I am the white canvas
awaiting the artist’s hand.

I am brilliant-
the colors of the rainbow,
yet the peaceful lavenders
of a desert sunset.

I feel
the hands of the healers
as they touch my soul,
the soft tickle of feathers,
and the lover’s warm caress.

I can taste you
the sweet nectar of honey
pure as the waters 
from mountain springs
the salt of your sweat, 
clinging 
in the crease of your neck.

My senses are stirred
at the sound of your voice.

Girl in the Mirror
(this rolled through my head as a song one day, 
and just seemed to stick - 
Who can explain the creative mind?)

Girl in the Mirror, 
do I even know you anymore? 
Oh girl in the mirror, 
did I slip out from the door? 

Baby in the mirror,
you are a precious little sheep. 
With innocence and newness 
not buried far beneath the deep. 

Woman in the mirror, 
what have I done to make you cry? 
When I would never try to hurt you, 
why do the tears flow from your eyes? 

Lady in the mirror, 
can you even hear me speak? 
Todays turn to tomorrows 
and the days turn to the weeks. 
Can anybody hear me? 
I need to know I’m not alone. 
When times are black and silent 
I’ve got to feel I’ve got a home. 

Girl in the mirror 
I really hate to watch you weep. 
There’s sunshine all around you 
just try to rest and get some sleep. 
Girl in the mirror 
I see the beauty in your smile. 
let’s walk this path together 
two pairs of footprints through the miles. 

Old man I can tell you 
the darkest’s just before the dawn 
so waken in the morning 
and all your troubles will be gone. 

Sitting on my deathbed 
I look upon the raging sea 
the storms, they did some damage 
but then I warmed by gentle breeze. 
Sometimes when you’re lonely 
it seems there nowhere left to go. 
But tenderness and loving 
bring on warmth to melt the snow. 

Sometimes when you hold me
I see the world as from your eyes. 
This world can be a great place 
and it should come as no surprise. 

Lately when I’m near you 
I only feel the fire explode 
the warmth, the love, the spark’s gone 
and I have nothing left to hold. 
many times I realize 
that it’s surely time to go 
yet something keeps me near you 
and I can’t make myself let go. 

Why am I so stubborn? 
When the wind should flow beneath my feet 
And carry me to new worlds 
where days are made of smiles and glee? 
I know that something’s out there 
that turns my heartache into light 
Someday I’ll get my nerve up 
and make what’s wrong turn into right. 

Baby, when you hold me 
it’s as if there’s rainbows in the air 
I dream I wish I hope that 
we’ll someday be a perfect pair. 
Baby, please don’t leave me 
Someday I’ll make it all turn right! 
Just be a little patient 
and let our dreams, our hearts, take flight 
Babe, you have to know that 
it’s YOU that’s filling up my heart: 
If I’d the strength within me, 
then you and I would never part. 

Babe, I want to hold you 
and give you all I have within 
until the souls within us 
would meld and form in love’s union. 
With our bodies joined, Love, 
ambrosia flows within our loins 
and when that day comes, Baby, 
our ALLs will be forever joined! 

One day I WILL touch you 
and we will both know it’s so right- 
as if heavens, lit with fireworks 
turn all the darkness into the light. 
ALWAYS, you will be there 
and maybe not beyond my reach 
and ALWAYS I will love you 
and cherish all you are to me.
