LIGHT FILL THE SOUL
When the moons baths the land in her silver light our souls fill with emotional strength
When the suns baths the land with his golden light our bodies fill with vital strength
when the stars bath the land in their scattered lights our spirits fill with imaginative
strength
So let not the clouds hold back the light we need
So let not the light be kept at bay
It shines I know
It shines for you
It shines for I
It shins for all

THE GRAY DESERT
Life is a desert for me
A desert of gray cutting sand In cast expansions
I have crawled along this waist land of life my whole life
Whenever I start to feel hope
The wing comes blowing the sharp Gray sand to shred
To shred the flesh
The flesh of my hope and dreams
I survive of the water of hope in the roots
The roots of temporary hope
Hope that lasts not
Many a time I thought I saw An oasis
Shimmering just ahead of me
I ran top them
I did
But when I arrive
Just more gray sand
I think I see one again
This time it is clearer
This time I smell it
Please let you not be another mirage
That would be more then I can survive

WATER?
It flows and falls
It rises
It brings life and hope
It crashes in violent waves with passion and purpose
It trickles and gently gives of it's self
It flows along it's way bringing nourishment
For those who have it, is is every where
For them it often is taken for granted
For others It is scares
Foe them It is more precious the gold
By now you must know of what I speak
No not water
Were did you get that?
I speak of
Love

CHOCOLATE SILK DREAMS
In a room filled with candles
Like stars surrounding me in space
on front of me I see
I see a dream
A dream in chocolate silk
Smooth, and soft
Full, and luscious
My heart races
My pulse pounds
Heaven awaits me
Ecstasy beckons me
Beckons me with the promise of a night
A night to fulfill my greatest fantasies
Fantasies I thought never to be realized
I approach
Approach timid and exited
I reach out to caress
Caress Skin
Skin so soft, so silky
Silky , chocolaty, creamy.
Beautiful
Just as I am within in an inch
An in from my dream
I weak up

WAX WANE WAX
Bord to yang
Yearn to yin
OUT OF THE Earth new life timidly peeks out
Green, and new, tender, and full of hope
Time, and nurture, maturity is won
Life waxes, life grows, life blooms
Waxing life takes what nourishment life finds
Nourishment shapes life, and life becomes what it will be
Good, bad, life has matured
Life has shape, sad to yang, the shape is set
Now it is time to wane
Graceful, and gold, proud, and bent
The lines earned through experience
Lines worn as badges of honer
Or lines that that allow the leaves to drop
Wane into the ground
Wane until the time
Time to Wax again
Pray to be born to yin

MY LOVE IS LIKE THE AIR
I HAVE HEARD LOVE CALLED A RED RED ROSE THAT BLOOMS IN THE SPRING
BUT A ROSE WILL WILT, AND DIE IN TIME
I HAVE HEARD LOVE COMPARED TO THE DEEPEST OCEAN
YET THE OCEAN HAS A BOTTOM, AND WATER EVAPORATES
SOME HAVE SAID LOVE IS LIKE PRECIOUS GEMS BUT GEMS TARNISH, OR CRACK
MY LOVE IS LIKE THE VERY AIR
IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
WHETHER POLLUTED BY STRIFE, OR CIRCUMSTANCE
WHETHER TAKEN FOR GRANTED AT TIMES
OR BEING LIVED IN
LIKE THE AIR MY LOVE IS FOREVER
IT HAS NO BEGINNING
IT HAS NO END
IT JUST IS
NOW, AND FOREVER
FAITHFUL

REFLECTIONS OF LOSS
Into darkness, with reflections of loss
Through the paths of pain
Through portals of regret
In, an out of rooms best forgotten
The black journey to discover
The road of light
The road to self
The road that leads to the avenue in the bright
the avenue of hope

THE RIVERS LOVER
The stream flows through it's rocky birth high in the mountain
He struggles to connect his Many tiny ripples, and drips into a body
He pushes, and strains his way down from the peak
He winds his way through lonely forgotten wood
Squeezes cracks he will eventually turn into paths
He flows through cisterns under roads
Making his way, always making his way

What do I want in a woman
What do I want in a woman; I want a partner, an equal
What do I want in a woman; the one who sees into my very soul, the child within, the tenderness, and passion, the creativity and care that makes me want to save an injured wild animal because it breaks my heart, she sees, and does not shrink back
What do I want in a woman; one who becomes a part of my soul, and I hers, while still being our own individual selves at the same time
What do I want in a Woman: trust, and faith that never falters
What do I want in a woman: to say, to be, to balance me, for we share enough that we agree on
what matters, and share in activities we both enjoy, but not identical for balance brings completion, my strengths to balm her weaknesses, and hers to mine
what do I want in a woman: to hold, to talk through many a long night
What do I want in a woman; to laugh, to cry, to hope,to dream, to win, to fail, and trough it all to know the other has felt every pulse of our hearts
What do I want in a woman; she brings life into my world, and pulls me out of my shell of shyness to say It's time to party my love
For this I will give my every devotion.
