Soft Tide of LoveThe moon shines in splendor
Against skies velvet blue
Night breeze softly stirring
Its caress with power endued

My will gently calls thee
Whispering dreams of love
My words in silver beams
Soft falling from above

Passion's river flowing
Fantasies stir and rise
Love's intoxication
Sails on sleep's soft tide

Let my heart possess you
Pray love take wings and fly
Lost in sweet sensations
Till dawn means dreams must die...

The GiftEvening paints its splendor
Across a crystal sky
Stars and moon appearing
As sunbeams fade and die

Comes the sweetest music
Seductive and deceiving
Beckoning the senses
Spirit, slowly yielding

Floating, falling, needing
Heart take wing and fly
Surrendering to passion
Desire a pleading sigh

Come then honeyed darkness
And banish ordained death
Love that lives forever
And life that needs no breath

Drink this scarlet river
For all I am is thine
Death the path to life
Where spirits shall entwine...

The PromiseBlood red skies the herald
Of dark unfolding night
Stars and moon give promise
Revealing sweet delight

Come oh breath of darkness
Bequeath thy gift so dear
Living death eternal
Thy kiss it holds no fear

Released of shrouds embrace
I leave thy comely womb
Palace, home and haven
My beloved, sacred tomb

This my treasured kingdom
Mountains, valleys and plains
King and bloody tyrant
Still my legend remains

The ruins of my castle
Hold yet my lonely throne
Here you are imprisoned
Your life and soul my own

Tremble then my darling
There is no hope of flight
I love to see you quiver
In flickering candlelight

Can you hear my hear

Possessed...Place of darkest memory
Enshrouded tomb of lore
Lingering in darkness
The legend of Lenore

Here sat he who loved thee
Neath dust the salt of tears
Love still echoes faintly
Despite the passing years

Dark tomes on dusty shelves
Muddy prints upon the floor
Well meant the dire warning
The Raven's "Nevermore"

Sweet heaven bids me run
Pray and don't look back
Yet I sit upon his chair
Seeking what we lack

For I am imprisoned
In love forever more
I looked upon the portrait
"The legend of Lenore"

LonelinessCruel day surrenders
To mists of softest dreams
I hear thy siren song
And walk in silver beams

Blossom rains in moonlight
Soft breeze brings thy caress
Sweet the song of nightingales
All by heaven blessed

In charmed world of wonder
This heart calls out for thee
My lonely, yearning soul
Pleads for what might be

Come then my Cleopatra
And fill this empty life
Wipe away the tears
And end this lonely strife...

EchoesDawn is softly breaking
With gentle golden light
Painting faintest echoes
Of sweet enchanting night

Waves breaking on the shore
Herald rising splendor
Banishing the darkness
With touch warm and tender

Yet love forgets thee not
Breaching all defenses
Thine image in my heart
Stirs romantic senses

So my soul believing
Gives love its willful flight
In sweet intoxication
Of your beauty I will write...

Our Hourglass...Sands of oblivion
In our hourglass of time
Pouring without mercy
A trickle so sublime

Life so very precious
We often seem to waste
Missing opportunities
The wine of joy to taste

Will the page we're writing
Be marked with sad regret
Longing and not living
With doubt and fear beset

Journey then in wonder
Live and love and play
Use each precious moment
And treasure every day...

My RoseHow can I extol thee
Paint a perfect vision
Sing a golden sunbeam
Write what can't be written?

Soul of burning wonder
Angelic, perfect heart
Overwhelmed I struggle
To capture thee with art

How can words paint heaven
The beauty I perceive
The rising sun of love
Such words I cannot bleed

Unworthy this poor tongue
To ring with fulsome praise
To sing a truthful hymn
Would take me all my days

Daughter of creation
Sacred jewel of night
Within this lonely heart
Shines your radiant light

How to scribe such beauty?
One comparison I know
Thou my hearts desire
Art like a perfect Rose...

The Moons DaughterA gentle blue caress
The subtle touch of night
Your heart softly beating
Beneath this silver light

Sacred jewel of Nyx
I long to hold thee near
To share my lonely world
And stem the falling tears

Moonlights chosen daughter
I hear your ageless song
Are these foolish yearnings
Or with you do I belong

Something calls within me
I feel and smell your land
Forests bathed in silver beams
And serpents in your hands

In this place of wonder
May savage wounds be healed
Or deep dreams and desires
Be magically fulfilled

Still I hear thy music
Though sense bids hope to cease
My errant heart still lingers
In search of love and peace..

The FeatherThe world moved around me
And life just passed on by
No one spared a second glance
Or stopped to wonder why?
They saw so very little
They never looked within
As if the act of caring
Were a special type of sin
Perhaps this broken heart
Was never meant to heal
And that tide of loneliness
what I'm meant to feel
Sometimes though the burden
Well it just seemed all to much
And that final clasping hand
Perhaps a welcome touch
But then came my salvation
In the welcome land of sleep
A soft and gentle voice
That begged me not to weep
From the realm of heaven
A tender healing kiss
Tears that washed the pain away
Oh divine and loving bliss
Enfolded in an angels wings
I couldn't help but mend
Knowing on her love
I truly could depend
Was this just a dream?
A foolish flight of fancy?
A desperate hopeful longing
That echoes now so faintly?
Some I know would say
'by dreams you've been misled'
But they've not seen the feather
She left upon my bed...

The BrideBlue beguiling velvet
Heralds sensual night
And a liquid silver moon
Promises pure delight

From the land of dreams
My voice thy waking call
Servant of my passion
Thou art in my thrall

Come my sweet disciple
Unseeing through the night
Answering the summons
To dark and wild flight

Midst crumbling headstones
Seek thou my siren charm
Hungry for the fire
Found in undead arms

These hands shall free desire
Lace dropping to the ground
In this sweet surrender
Rapture thou hast found

My hands trace thy desire
I feed thy wanton need
Planting deep within thee
A dark insidious seed

Searching lips so eager
Taste my willing gift
De

Her CallSo soft thy siren call
Sweet echo in the night
Dreams silk ribbons cut
To flickering candlelight

Sensual and alluring
Enchanting heart and mind
Oh vision overwhelming
Thou my soul must find

Thy perfume on sweet breeze
To heightened senses call
I walk in velvet night
Serene in deepest thrall

Unerring through the darkness
Thy voice dost guide me home
Through silence I can hear thee
I can't bear to be alone

Oh beguiling vision
I pray that thou be real
To long by grief held captive
Such healing love I feel

Thy smile it lights my heart
Thy embrace, sweetest bliss
The desire of beating heart
The passion of thy kiss

Thy lips

The Shore of DreamsLove's unfurling splendor
Creates a perfect night
Deepest velvet blue
And softest silver light

Thine eyes the liquid pools
In which I float and fall
Lost in sweet enchantment
Thou holds me in thy thrall

Hair so soft and silky
I cannot help but touch
Sweet intoxication
To love thee, oh so much

Lips that softly beckon
The promise of a kiss
Thou my heart has captured
Upon a wave of bliss

Come then my sweet vision
And take this timid hand
On the shore of dreams
With thee I long to stand

Heavens Perfect WonderHeaven's perfect wonder
Sculpted in a dream
Born in lotus blossoms
Egypt's wondrous queen

High priestess of Isis
Within thee burning fire
Men could but adore thee
In thrall to deep desire

Caesar knelt before thee
Begged thou be his bride
Rome beneath his feet
Perfect beauty at his side

Oh bitter blade of hate
Thou saw poor Caesar bleed
Love lying in the dust
Cleopatra forced to flee

Then did comfort whisper
With seeds of greater love
Mark Anthony and Cleopatra
Love decreed from up above

Sweet and perfect passion
Two hearts that beat as one
Love by heaven anointed
Bright shining as the sun

Then tragedy unfolding
Greed

My Constant LoverSo gentle is your touch
That tender first caress
Yearning in your fingertips
That leaves my soul undressed

Naked here before you
I have become your toy
Knelt in thrall before you
Defeated I give you joy

Your hands roam unrestricted
Your touch so deft and true
Making such sweet music
There is no move you rue

Fire bereft of passion
Intensity without pleasure
Weakness and surrender
The qualities you treasure

Mistress all demanding
You know that I am yours
There is no resisting
The fire in dreaded claws

So deep you rip and tear
Such damage you inflict
You laugh to see me crying
At the pain that makes me sick

Joints you cau

Your fireThrough the day do you think of me
In the night do you feel my fire
Do you hunger and thirst and reel
And feel burning love of my desire

Girl, do you wake and call my name
Feel the yearning hunger of my need
Does the heat of love stir your lust
In the dark our passion do you feed

Through the day I think of you
In the night I feel your fire
Girl,I hunger and thirst and reel
Feel the burning love of your desire

In the night I wake and call you name
Feel the yearning hunger of your need
The heat of love stirs my lust
In the dark our passion I do feed

Separate worlds and separate lives
So much that does divide
And yet so strong

The one legged deaf ..........In Notre Dame Cathedral
Esmeralda cast a spell
Tried to bring her quasi back
But It didn't go to well

Her power levels dropped
She didn't get full measure
She only got a token
Of the one she treasured

She had envisioned Quasi
Her deaf and hunchbacked lover
But what she got instead
Well she conjured up another

He was a deaf hunchback
But he was only two feet tall
Esmeralda began to cry
She hadn't meant this at all

The midget shouted at her
Hey! I shouldn't have to beg
Get your wand back out
I've only got one leg!

Weak spotMy mistress found my weak spot
The one I tried to hide
I used to be the one in charge
But now she's turned the tide

My mistress found my weak spot
It's really gonna cost
I should never have told her
How much I like being bossed

My mistress found my weak spot
Thigh high boots and heels
My dominatrix queen
I cannot help but kneel

My mistress found my weak spot
Now she's bought a whip
She really does look very stern
When she makes me strip

My mistress found my weak spot
Now I am her slave
But please don't try to help me
I'm having too much fun to save......

I saw you....I saw you in the moonlight
A vision beyond compare
Your beauty left me speechless
I could only stand and stare

I saw you in the moonlight
Your eyes so brown and deep
Hair of raven darkness
Knew my love was yours to keep

I saw you in the moonlight
That moment changed my life
I didn't even know you
But I wanted you for my wife

I saw you in the moonlight
Couldn't help but fall in love
Heavens answer to my tears
A gift from God above

I saw you in the moonlight
Somehow you vanished in the air
Left me reeling drunk on love
This life is so unfair.....

Drunk on loveShe says she's drunk on love
I wonder what she see's
One thing I know it isn't
It really can't be me

She says she's drunk on love
And then she looks my way
I'm feeling kind of bashful
I don't know what to say

She says she's drunk on love
That I really do look fine
But I can't quite believe it
I think she's drunk on wine!

She says she's drunk on love
And no it really isn't wine
I think she might just mean it
She wants to be all mine!

My High priestessShe comes in golden light
To brush away my tears
A high priestess of love
To banish foolish fears

Her words are healing balm
There is magic in her dance
Healing knots she weaves
Leaves no element of chance

Peace she showers on me
Her love it heals my pain
No matter how I falter
Her love will be the same

Her Voice it call out to me
Her hand it holds my own
Unworthy though I am
She seats me by her throne

Unselfish love she gives me
Something I have never known
I know that she will heal me
My heart is hers alone....

Crimson Shard

Beautiful crimson shard
Glistening on the floor
Some say thou art broken
Though I see something more

Dancing in the candlelight
I see the heart within
Starlight's wondrous beauty
Caught and held herein

Sweetest Crimson shard
Thy radiance enchants
Lost in sweet surrender
My heart begins to dance

I'll hold thee forever
Make thee all mine own
Beloved crimson shard
My heart will be thy throne
