Butterfly Wings

Butterfly wings
As fluttering brings
The most sensuous touch.
Kisses that thrill.
Our bodies that spill
The perfume of love.
When they tingle so much.
That featherlight ache
Ends in earthquake.
With songs of the soul,
Cried out in the night.
Our eyes set alight
As we burn as one.
That tickle inside
That stings.
Teased by unquenchable bliss.
Oh baby
Those butterfly wings
Of your kiss.

There She Is

There she is
Standing in the sun
Like a glittering prize
Awarded to my eyes.
Sparkling
As silver stream does run
And is gone
Like a breeze
As fragile beauty flees.
There she is
Running through the night
Like a long lost dream
Clothed in crinoline cream
Glowing
Like a shooting star
Shimmering in flight
Passion burns so bright
Then she fades
Through moonlit glades
Like a wish set free

Torture of Love

Every fire that burnt in the hearts
Of all true lovers
Burns in me now for you.
Is there a God or mere mortal that lives
And breathes that can extinguish extreme passion?
It would be akin to washing the sun away
No light, then no life.
So it is my eternal flame forever burning
My soul
The torture of love flown
Knives in my heart
Euphoric relief!
Compared to your memory
Burning longer than a star.

Rose

Single rose
Lies broken
In the memory of our dream.
Prose remains unspoken.
And loving words
Like unlit candles
Forever wait to gleam.

Single rose
Lies dying
In the courtyard of love's castle.
Our one unopened parcel
From heaven
Lost in the post.
What wasn't said
Will cost us the most.
As passion makes its exit
Ascending through clouds of cream,
Loving words
Like unlit candles

The Longing

How I long
For your butterfly kisses.
And rhythm of our naked dance.
Given that moonlight chance
Of sweet surrender.
How I ache
To pleasure you.
Your cries of love
Singing,
As emotions awake.
Our orchestra
Winging
To crescendo.
Feel the breeze blow
In our soul.
When the waves
Of ecstasy roll,
Then sleepily
Kiss the beach.
Now,

When she is alone.

By the window in the darkness she turns pages in her mind,
Silhouetted in the evening, solitude is so unkind.
In harmony with the night, and frequent car lights.
So much pain keeps coming back again.
Love, she thinks is for life, it sticks you like a knife.
And kills you slowly,
is nothing holy?
It hurts, she wants to tell him it hurts, but he is gone.
And so many nights wait to hurt her
When she is alone.

Trouble Is

I had to let her go.
That's real love you know.
When all our bells had rung.
And the famous fat lady had sung.
I gave her to the breeze.
New sunrise
And
New start.
Trouble is
The keys.
She still holds to my heart.
Maybe she'll return.
I guess I must be strong.
I watch my Rome just burn.
Accompanied by a song.
I fall down to my knees.
Kiss the moon as I depart.
Trouble is
The keys
She still holds to my heart.

You Make Me Cry

You make me cry
This exquisite pain
I must deny
Though to my death
It runs through my vein
With every breath
Again and again.

I whisper
'Hold your head high'
But collapse in a lonely room
In my chosen doom
I will lie
Forever.

Your words of love
Like fickle wind
Departed.
With your promise
On a breeze.

Another Day

The rose now dies
But still lives in my soul.
The fragrance flies
With petals that it stole
From my flower.
This hour.
All special things
Just pass away
Like true love.
That we handcuffed
For another day.

My heart now dies
But still beats in cold corridors.
Where I pace empty floors.
Called my life.
Where every scar
From her knife
Disfiguires the face of love.
I look above,

Weather

Can you hear
The smile of love.
When you are apart
The aching of your heart
Is
Much greater than being together.
But it's taken for granted
Like the weather.

Can you hear
The ultimate beauty of love.
Feelings take a lifetime to accrue.
Yet me and you
Were counted out
In seconds.
Like a boxer
By an unexpected blow.
You were my kitten.
I was your beau.
Suspended
