Fear No More the Raven Call, ~Silverthorn~ Oct98
The pulse of the night, beats with desire the scarlet warm wind, fanning the fire the starkness of night, seducing the moon turns the misty fog, a dark sapphire Slithers through the mist, of the wet lagoon thrusting with passion, just like a harpoon deeper and deeper, into the twilight aware that the dawn, will awaken soon The shaft of the beam, glistening in spite flaunting and plunging, into the dark night trembling waters, singing in the haze the dark voyeur clouds, peek down out of sight The depths of pleasure, trembling with praise The lust in the night, trembles in amaze
The creatures of the night can't wait their turn and fight to drain you of your essence each one seeks the right. There is the vampiric presence that wants to suck your vitesence The werewolf merely wishes hell and will kill you out of arrog'nce. Other beasties chase pell mell to dine and sup and feast as well as will as any other demon leave you with an empty shell. A soulless creature searching on some other human soul to dine upon. the biki Aug 98
Raging, swollen river running swift Dark the murky waters, arms can’t lift Grasping for a hold my fingers slide Submerging in this darkness, cast adrift. Make the churning stop now, halt the ride Can’t think clearly, rivers just too wide Dragging all that swims under its wake Grab a passing branch, crawl up the side. Water swirling, stop for goodness sake Stop the drowning, have a life to make Quit the mind games, don’t know where to go Spinning, where’s the exit, should I break Just give in and go under the flow Reasoning says keep fighting, scream out no.
My harsh breathing cuts through the night air Looking behind me, can’t see you there Senses finely tuned, I know you’re here Trembling under your unseen cold stare Keep running, to stop is death I fear What can I hear, steady breathing near Your dark presence taunting, out of sight Low pitched snarling, so close to my ear Frozen, I feel your grip in the night One long nail trailing my cheek so light In horror I gaze into dark eyes Strangely drawn to you, yearning your bite Pressed against you, coldness lighting fires Lips burning on mine stifling my cries Feeling sharpness of teeth beneath lips Grazing along my neck, soul deep sighs The world spinning darkly with your nips Deadly bliss, your bite of stinging whips
Come close and have a taste of lover's lips; Sweet touch, imbibing warm and supple sips Of liquors heady, raising blush to fore, And warming wider, spreading drip by drip. Deep in passion's cup may flow the store Of earthy flavours blended from the core. There souls that crave to greedily enfilade, By stoking fires of love, drink even more. Intoxicants may yet become our bane Or saving grace; we care not to contain Such joy of life as we could never think, Forsaking liquid spread of sweeter pain. For love consumed by thirst can nought but sink, These potions flow between that we may drink.
Leaving! My son just drove out of sight To seek an education he will drive into the night I miss him already and the dust has not settled I love that young man with all my might We lost his Mother 3 years ago She would have been proud this I know He was surely the apple of her eye I know she is with him as sure as the winds blow Oh lord in heaven reach down this day And protect him as these words I say He is good but he is young Put your loving arms around him I pray It's a new beginning that he will face And I trust him, confidently, to your grace
The lonely night draw swiftly down covering the world in a deep black gown creeping softly in without a sound as I sleep alone in this distant town. I close my eyes, but sleep can't be found till your loving spirit wraps itself around and I'm covered and warm wrapped in love an ethereal blanket keeps me safe and sound. Distances shrink in somnambulistic pleasure as I dream and picture warm nights together feelings shared, tied with silken thread two lover inseparate, joined in love forever throughout the night our vows of love attested And with the morning light love finds us blessed
Velvety shadows linger in the night as we bathe in the dark and pale moonlight secluded are we, as the night dreams on sheltered by darkness, your love I invite Removing my gown, my gown of chiffon laying in the nude, as bare as a fawn on a bed of leaves, all alone with you alone in the dark, in your arms till dawn The wind bats flutter, across the moons hue mammals of the night, in my pools of blue as you suck my blood, I cannot resist being your temptress, your seductress too Your passion and strength, desiring your kiss Under the moonlight, deep in the abyss
Cold solitude pervades my soul, now fills it like an empty bowl. Fate's fortune turned her gaze away, and left no trace of love's console. I blindly walk 'neath light of day, breath trembling sighs of sad dismay. Though countenance no pain doth show, my weeping heart beats loud betray. How oft must fallen frigid snow, snuff out love-tinder's inner glow? Will chance not spare a single spark, and let sweet passioned fire grow? Some day may lonely disembark, until such time my mood dims dark.
Hold me gently within your warm eyes Immersed softly in your well of sighs Let our spirits entwine with our dreams Unite in this cloud land, let us rise In this land where nothings what it seems Where all is possible, test the seams Reality fades, let us play here Lead us wherein love and mischief streams No one to watch us, no one to fear Where words of love only we can hear Kisses divine, hugs sublime with you Savour the passion, come here my dear Tell me you want this magic realm too Wishing may deem this wish to come true
As your distant voice fades, I close my eyes Still echoing the room are our whispered cries Deep into the night, you and I became one again Moulding our bodies, almost to sunrise Gathering the blankets tightly up under my chin, My mind floods with memories of our wanton bare skin I still feel flushed with the fever of you Remembering the plateau our passions had been The candles still flicker, almost as if on queue Dancing with my memories, still fresh and new The scent of you lingers, your taste yet remains The morning is filled with the essence of you As I finally drift off, on the bed that we'd lain I hug my pillow tightly, as I call out your name.
Terza Rima
How often do we punish the one we love words said in heat, more poison than a snakes pouring out pure venom from above. And with the morning our conscience shakes wishing that we could pull back every word and repair the scars and fix heartbreaks. And our loved one says "don’t be absurd" "I forgive", but in her voice you hear the pain and from her tone, something else is heard. and she quickly turns away, and hides again you reach for her and take her in your arms and turn her to you and see the strain behind her smile, but know there’s no harm that can’t be fixed by this womans charms. the biki Aug 98

Raindrops of summer sprinkle desert sands quenching the desert in the heat of night flowing as lovely, as the Rio Grande French kiss of nature, in the pale moonlight kiss of the rain gods, bless the coyote quenching the desert, in the heat of night Even in the Sun, a land of beauty prickly pear cactus, and yucca blossom kiss of the rain gods, bless the coyote Only the sound of a bumblebee hum and the whip-poor-will, digesting insects prickly pear cactus, and yucca blossom Nocturnal birds eat, as the moon reflects the hooting night owl, and the night hawk search and the whip-poor-will, digesting insects While the coyotes, continue to lurch the hooting night owl, and the night hawks search raindrops of summer sprinkle desert sands flowing as lovely as the Rio Grande http://geocities.datacellar.net/paris/parc/3952/

At the edge of evening, death and life unite ~Silverthorn~ Oct98
How does the night sleep under stars so bright? As tears fall from these dark slumbering eyes, When crying souls die in the absent light! And hidden within this invisible sight Are cloud and fowl on cool lavender skies How does the night sleep under stars so bright? But in a realm obscure to what is right Even the small hope of blue image lies, While crying souls die in the absent light! And the cold earth slays the life that must fight Lost in an endless sea of hallow cries, How does the night sleep under stars so bright? But somewhere, deep inside the strongest might Lives a freedom that bares golden reprise While crying souls die in the absent light! And slowly, it begins to hear their plight In these suffered words will be sunrise How does the night sleep under stars so bright? While crying souls die in the absent light!
