Flower o’ Life

The shadows are recedingFlower of Life
the dawn is near
Freshness wet and calm
All will be clear
The waiting has begun
calm cool quiet
patiently waiting
to feel the light
The well-being of
a clear silver pond
The sparkle of the dew
and still I wait
Like the silence before dawn
waiting to be filled
with life
with light.

To be touched with caring tenderness
like smooth softness
like water
The slow sensation of twilight
A star in the overpowering
blackness of night.

And slowly the flower o’ life
opens
Full and beautiful
slow and majestic
and I want to touch her.

A Page of Sweet Whispers

Sweet WhispersHolding her life in front of you.

Against you.

Slow dancing when the notes hit are so perfect in mood.

In feeling.

So perfectly in tune with you,

her and your mind and souls.

Feelings.

The warmth of mind.

Warmth of soul just between us.

Her body moves.

Warm, solid, independant.

Unlike the dreams and wishes of a slow dance

that tease me from time to time.

The fragile hand flat against me.

Her soft face

long hair

The night sky

the stars.

Music.

On…please yes!

Carry on…

It’s Raining

It’s raining Tear

in the still dark night

as it had

during the soft grey day.

There’s a continuous hush…

as the rain settles on the earth

and she lies close to me.

*

The sweet burden of her head

rests in my arm.

Her cheek

and long bright hair

contrasting softness on my bare skin.

My sweet child’s hand on my chest

soft, sensitive and fragile.

What warmth it gives.

It warms me to the core.

*

I squeeze her slightly.

She stirs

moving closer.

Her breath warms my soul

and my soul sheds a tear

of a single pearl

from my eye

for love.

And in the black night

many tears fall from heaven.

My Innocence

My innocence has condemned me.Innocence

The life I want so sacred to me.

Knowledge has made them hate

despise

loath

what we have.

They do not see my child

my innocence.

With no understanding

they cannot comprehend.

So minds twist

in disgust

contort in misleading

misunderstanding.

My innocence

so vulnerable to the shadows

to the dark of night.

I feel hate and it disturbs me

it’s evil and it hurts me.

Aches, hangs and sags my mind.

Distorts me

and my face.

My innocence will always be

will always strangle my understanding

will keep me blind and numb

to their thoughts.

Their sinister ways.

To their all knowing insight they don’t have

for they do not believe.

The Frankenstein Complex

I have the Frankenstein complex.Yuck

People fear what they don’t understand.

They also tend to hate

what they genuinely fear

or are not used to.

*

I have been alienated.

Exiled to dark corners.

To isolation, which makes it worse.

*

It now appears

that I attend dark, sinister séances

and am evil.

All because people don’t understand

that I might love a person, might love another.

Forbidden Feeling

Walking in the nightYuck

in the twilight of dawn

Premeditated murder

of your own

of yourself

Playing among the arches of time

Desperate needing

Immortal sence mortal mine

forbidden feeling.

*

Flying to a moment

soaring to her side

Together we make one

together we hide

*

They conspired to keep you apart

away from heaven

away from mer heart

But hold on – hold on

Touch the face of fate and stay long

stay long

I won’t hesitate our feelings

aren’t wrong.

Stand strong, hold on

Stand strong and hold on.

Best Times

The best times of my life are gone.

Black Friday.

Pick yourself up, pieces.

It’s time to move on.

Black Friday.

*

I lie so very well

What you see aint what you get.

No-one could tell

I have a wounded heart.

I may look fine

they say I look handsome, pretty

but you’re not mine

and I’m not yours anymore.

*

I was always a rebel

My mama says live like society

Well mama do tell

Must I follow a society

that justifies war

that hates all it can’t understand

and so far

it’s killed me and my love.
