What Feeling Is This
What feeling is this?
Two souls touching in burning kiss
Locked in the cool of a summer eve
Laying in the heat
Of the magic we weave.
Spent.
Now our hearts are lent
Forever to a memory
That will blow like jasmine breeze
Across our mind
When we do find
Sunset behind the trees.
That shared orgasmic touch
Surely means so much
Like dewdrops on flowers.
The scent that is ours
Will fill our lonely rooms..
When apart, we are just swaying blooms.
In dreams we lie in meadow green
To share where golden sunlight has been.

Life and death
From short train ride to lover's kiss
My heart is rescued from abyss
From lonely room to night embrace
From barbed wire dreams to silk and lace
When goodbye feels like my last breath
Then the next hello is life and death.
From laughter through a windswept night
That lit our room like candlelight
To trek black hills once iced snow white.
From watching ripples cover streams
Floating leaves and floating dreams.
Euphoria and then the knife
Pain lies between the death and life.
From perfume and your twinkling eye
To dreading one lonely goodbye
Riding with me like an ache in the soul

Text
I text you
The words i mime
There is really no reason or rhyme
To persist after all this time
But can't resist as my love still stands
Clings to hope with two bleeding hands
And when i ask 'am i still in your heart'
You depress with your silence
And depart.
I text her
And sometimes for days
She leaves me in deepest malaise
Then answers when my last nerve end frays.
And the light that i saw in her eye
Gently flickers and threatens to die
As my memory, tired and vexed
Sees me through
'Til she sends the next text.
I text you
Think maybe you care

When Did I Get Old
A saxaphone calls
From across the floor.
The midnight blues
Are what I'm here for.
This pied piper
Leads me
From the cold.
I raise my glass and ask
When did I get old?
I sit alone
And watch the candles burn.
Another shot.
I almost here wheels turn.
I watch the strobe
Flash pictures of pain.
My frontal lobe
Is feeling numb again.
Another whisky
And now I'm feeling bold.

Feel You
I can feel you
In a storm.
Feel you
Keep me warm.
Your vibe
Can scribe
The sweetest love letter.
Your kiss
That bliss
Can make me feel better.
On a breeze
That will tickle my cheek.
On my knees
When dreams are fickle
I seek
A Chrismas blue.
A Caribou
So free in the hills
Bringing me your thrills.
Your beauty I view.

Beautiful Madness
Beautiful madness is mine.
When promises bathed in red wine
Are born again
As the fruit of our vine.
Words that in water were written
As fate hissed
We kissed
And were bitten.
Now motionless
I sit in a chair
Potionless
Craving magic to share.
While my love moves through
The christmas fair
With beautiful madness I stare.
Was it all just a pocket of dreams?
Insanity and silent screams.
As words of love
Are now resigned
To greeting cards in dusty drawer

Poet
I am a poet.
I feel the colours of pain.
I watch the sky in the rain.
Waiting for the sun.
I hear soft promise
Of golden days.
As music stabs
When it plays
Deep in my heart.
I am a poet.
The moon is my mother.
She sings like no other
With dulcet tone.
When I am left alone.
She bathes me in blue.
As I die within the night
And lie with the dew,
Until the next starlight.
I am a poet.
I want that forever kiss

Sweet Love
Love
You are still my friend
Though you took away my flower
Each lamplit evening has an end
Tears on a page our april shower.
My heart, so lightly squeezed
By the ghost that did depart
My soul that her memory eased
The faintest hope would fire start.
So, love of jasmine scent
I look above
For romance lent
- Until the day on distant sand
I'll lose my way
But find her hand.
Oh, love whose heart still beats
Brings me her victory
Through my defeats.
Her eyes unknown burn with the night
One seed was sown in morning light

Colours Of A Heartbreak
Memories in yellows and blues.
Bathe us in their soothing hues.
Tapping on windows of our mind.
Like soft rain winter leaves behind.
Those traffic lights
Within my head.
Turn amber.
Danger, heartbreak ahead.
Green meadows of promise and peace.
We closed our eyes
And souls did release,
Pure white grace
Of Turtle dove
With violet scent of brand new love.
Who sent her?
Magenta
Naked by the lake.
She returns

Diary Of A Heartbreak
I live in the light of your eyes.
Within a teardropp
Before it dries.
The rainbows of no fixed abode
Are where I dwell
Until sun rays explode.
I bathe in the ocean of your soul.
Painting shadows
As waves of joy roll.
And I swim through the dreams
We left behind.
Drowning slowly
To where the lowly creatures dined.
I fly in the sweetness of your kiss.
And as late stars
Turn down to a candle glow.
You frown
With soft rouge cheeks
And sadly, have to go.
I tremble in the cold of empty hall.
