Law
Here I Stand
here I stand ..naked, humble and afraidaware of my mortalitywhere once I knew life was forevernow I see the inevitability of never
and yet ...with my soul opened afreshI see the glory of humankindaswell as the futilityof wanton greedthe false measureof petty need
here I amno axe to grindat peace within my mindI now understand that giving love is freeyet only receivedif one can but see
You touch my life
I know what it feels liketo feel a warm gentle breezegrazing my skinsunlight nibbling the anxieties from my mindcradling me softly in its golden arms
I’ve been therewhen a tender new born spirit wraps its tendrilsaround proud hearts and eases tearsof incredulous joy across beaming faces
I have breathed deepof pine filled forests, as I gazed on the majesty of meandering snow slopesadorned with plumes of rugged rock
I have rejoiced with the heroes of the houras laughter and prideshone like a slick rain soaked squareas the sun pierces the clouds, justice done karma repaid
I have felt the painof unrequited lovegnawing beast-like as it strips the bark of sanity from the heartinveigling its way into waking dreams
And now I feel a sharp torment of a love spanning worlds burning deeply as if just two doors downpowerless to actlonging to easeyet happy that you touch my life
I need your words tonight
standing in the shadowof lifes past nuances and ambiguitiesI stare into a mayhem of meanderingslike the gulf stream spreading condescensionon an acquiescent earthI, a mere bit player on the sidelines of a soapand I see the tone of your beingfeel the touch of your tantalising fingersas your warmth engulfs meenhances my mindand takes me to my craved Valhallaas I cry into a wind of woe
I need your words tonight
Love
eloquent eulogies pass through my mindconjuring up paintings of elegant timesspontaneous diversions swagger bycatching the glint of an innocent eye
the delicate scent of devotion lays claim as a warm breeze unwinds its affectiondissenting blooms spring here and there playing softly and without a care
separate filaments of reflections uniteweaving a tapestry of love and lightbenevolent foibles transform to pleasuresetching happiness in ample measures
responses feedback enhancing the blisslife is shimmering just like that first kiss
Escaping the Cave
the breeze of lovewhistled into my lifechill that warmed my soullike a torrent of flowing waterrefreshing , massaginginflaming my beingstunning me like a las vegas quake
and hiding in my cavewas not an option
if I call for an angelI find you therewhen I cry myself to sleepyour fingers runthrough my hairwhen I catch a mistaken glimpseor hear your familiar laughterin a crowded room
I know I amand bathe in happiness
Perfect Circle
the beauty of a snowflakethe charm of a snowmana pool of water
Christmas
Christmas calls my name moon shine grips my heartand my hands turn to ice
