you
came from nothing
at least
that is my belief
wrought deep in silence
formed to embrace a yearning
only you
could endure
and I
wrote of life and swore love
was
for fools who
masqueraded it
for their own
selfish purpose
and our dreams
were to a degree of wisdom
left by one who sent to us
the sweetest taste:
our heaven
until
the solitude we once knew
the solitude we once knew
broke through time and bore
an eloquence
that then
became
our love
how truly magnificent
it is
My love, it's you I shall softly revive
When beauty escapes and withers and dies
And before your grave as the rain soaks the earth
Within that moment you may long to traverse
I'll reawaken your heart and for me
You'll remain as my life in solace, my queen
'Til you yearn and reveal to me your hunger
And kiss me as sweet as the heavens asunder
This gift of eternal life is for you
Beneath the pale, pale light of the moon
I weep as you overwhelm my still heart
Now rise my beloved and follow the dark
released me once from life
into a dream where beauty gleamed
from darkness to daylight
I could not fathom where I was
though honestly I knew
that dear Erato bore her breath
and held me in the nude
her eyes were of such deep secret
which beckoned me to touch
unwearied, pure, and intimate
she was more than enough
until I woke her waterfalls
which brought me to release
my soul, my light, my everything
then sunk my poise beneath
how ravishing she was to have
to savor, and to hold
oh, I remember how she felt
from where her rivers flowed
a burgeoning view of pleasure's depth
releasing me from life
into a dream where beauty gleamed
from darkness to daylight
i etch in stone the sight of my mind's eye
through broken words that i have wished for her
to know when all my thoughts bring me to cry
of all the reasons my future's a blur
while memories still linger in my pain
and i hold in my soul this cross to bear
to where i sense through dreams i'll not again
confess my deepest thirst, i now forswear
i cannot claim to be one who exists
nor can i say that i am now at peace
my passion died, i long to bare my wrists
wide open and so forth this hurt will cease
the sadness that she gave me through her ways
will haunt me here and now for all my days
through broken words that i have wished for her
to know when all my thoughts bring me to cry
of all the reasons my future's a blur
while memories still linger in my pain
and i hold in my soul this cross to bear
to where i sense through dreams i'll not again
confess my deepest thirst, i now forswear
i cannot claim to be one who exists
nor can i say that i am now at peace
my passion died, i long to bare my wrists
wide open and so forth this hurt will cease
the sadness that she gave me through her ways
will haunt me here and now for all my days
my eyes against the lovely sky
this evening's lilac hues
i stand between june and july
and whisper "i love you"
for how your faith has touched my heart
then see us both entwine
until the sun dies for the dark
much as you are not mine
i dance bathetically for breath
beneath a willow tree
for it's of you i am bereft
i twist the knife you sheathe
then bring an end to how i flame
with passion for your soul
and though that passion will all drain
i'll never let you go

i'll never let you go
Here by the candlelight alone in the night
Beyond my belief as I bury my woes
I know you will find the words I convey
Painted on the door for the things that I hold
By the shattering point of my thoughts that embrace
Everything I ask you to surrender for me
To have us together beneath coated skies
And not die in the very first moment I weave
All in all by my life and the ripen day
And that radiance burning within you, the night
Becomes my companion while I long for your heart
Sensing you'll find on the wall that I write
My confessions of love that I'll surely endow
To you as I search for all that I've lost
For what I believed to have seen in your pain
And how you take me from the places I've crossed
So what I will scrawl for you on the wall
Pours from my heart and soul which does mirror
Things in your thoughts that will soon lock away
The beauty you bare and unveil through your tears
Beyond my belief as I bury my woes
I know you will find the words I convey
Painted on the door for the things that I hold

And how you take me from the places I've crossed
So what I will scrawl for you on the wall
Pours from my heart and soul which does mirror
Things in your thoughts that will soon lock away
The beauty you bare and unveil through your tears
a flowing calm
of tearssplashed that
transparent canvas
by a soul
who stroke
through a cold embrace
it received the sadness
which
burned through her
and knew
how mournful her intentions were
though
death
was her only thought
and
as bittersweet
a lullaby
night could sing
the canvas to that painter
was
avowedly
her perfect vessel
i left
to tread upon a path
i had no intent to remain on
walked an empty back road
and happened upon a picturesque view
during an hour in which
perfection sought
life
so beautiful...
my muse embraced
and traveled
to fetch my soul
breathless
of the way the shadows reached
lost and mesmerized
a delicate feature caught my eye:
the bird who flew the sun away
and i thought
i could write a poem here
