The Clown

I was the clown that made you laugh
Our phone calls never ended
Because we didn't want to say goodnight.
Our lonely lives then found sunlight.
You sang a song to me
Down the telephone line
And my heart danced in rhyme
And love was fine.

I am the clown that made you cry
Those phone calls echo now
Because I didn't want to say goodbye
My lonley life returned to the dark
And my soul sang my own lament.
Another two lovers have played out their part
While I still look for pieces of my heart.

My love just came and went
Spent.

The Sun

Where is the sun these dark days
Painting the room where my love lays
Kissing her hair as dawn breaks
The sun lies only with her.
Where is the moon on lonely night
Under the stars where she burns so bright
My heart trembles at the thought of love light
That lit a thousand memories in my stolen heaven.
The moon shines from my love.
Where has gone the summer breeze
That touched her cheek and said goodbye
Carrying my hope with small waves of the sea
Small waves of her hand
Oh that we embrace an azure sky
And kiss away the pain.

Fall.

When did I fall.
Our souls touched in mime.
As we held hands
At the ball.
And danced
In another rhyme.
Long ago
Before you would show
Your lovely face.
I would fall
In that ancient
Moonlit place.
A million years before
We knew
What sweet love
Could do.
When did we fall
To never
Hit the ground.
Explode,

Invisible

In my vase
Are the invisible flowers
That we gathered.
When our souls did touch.
I sit and watch them for hours.
I see them
Even in the dark.
And will smell them
Forever.
A bouquet
That will never
Die.

In my net
I caught our kisses.
Invisible butterfly.
Still flickering
In the sunlight.
Like silent lullaby.
I taste them,

Storm

Now
What do I do
Now that my mood turned blue
And my heart burned too
Out of control
Scorching the soul
Too late for survival are
Your lips of revival.

Now
What do I say
Now that your words are blowing away
As I clutch at the breeze
Fall to my knees
You are deaf to my pleas
As in dreams i scream
Stay.

Now
What have I left

Her Lovers Play.

Beatles tunes
And deep maroons
Swirl in my head.
As dancers
Under crescent moon
Twirl round my bed.
As symphony
In a sky blood red,
Starts to play.
And
As I am asking why
Stars just look the other way.
Teardrops
Never dry
Until sun is born.
And love
Will never die
But float alone
Forlorn.
She took a lancet

Poor, But In Love

If I had a penny
To invest in a dream,
I'd wait for you
Dressed in blue moonbeam.
And you would dance in spectral hue.
If I had a suit
And silver flute
For just one special day.
I'd bring, so smartly, you a ring
And with sweet music take you away.
And If I had a sailing ship
To steer through clouds
On skyward trip.
You would wear bows
That angels tied.
And we would watch rows
Of stars collide.
Before a full moon
Took our breath,
Like the tide

It's You

I take my pen
You take my heart
I try to write about this fire
Remember when
We are apart
Our souls still sing
In God's own choir.
I scribe my feeling
Deep in the prose
Alas no poet did capture love
All senses reeling
My Damask rose
So sweet you are
From God above.
I feel the pain
Bleed from my quill
My passion spills upon the page
A man insane
For just your thrill
You give me peace

Only Moonlight

From when you first said hello.
To when you stopped your sighing.
Love letters written in snow
Melt, when someone's lying.

I reach for your hand in the night.
Still burning, your eyes of fire.
Your spectre dances on starlight.
To exquisite moonlight choir.

Suddenly, with coldest sword
My heart you do pierce.
Ringing like a harpsichord.
In beauty's face so fierce.
Is the smell
Of sweet flowers.
A death knell
Only hours
Away.

Naked Dance

That dance in the dark.
Naked.
Sacred.
Fired more than a spark.
Your tongue,
We clung
In desperate release.
We ached
And quaked
Until the rhythm did cease,
Of a quenched love.
Above
A candlelit ceiling.
Feeling
Spent.
Lent
Was ecstasy.
Deep in my memory
To heat my cold nights,
My heart yearned a shooting star.
