The Heights of Indigo

The Heights of Indigo

I dream of love, the greatest gift

Of emotions that tantalize,

Blending us together in heart,

Infusing us with points of light.

Strolling in fields of honesty,

I dream of love, the greatest gift.

Golden beauty in morning sun,

I am mesmerized by your glow.

When honesty shines down on me

And humankind bestows its fate,

I dream of love, the greatest gift

Dawning bright in December skies.

Night gives in to hush of velvet,

We scale the heights of indigo.

As pure passion binds us as one,

I dream of love, the greatest gift.

Soul Dancer

Soul Dancer

When the temporal sun descends into lavender mountains,

the night wind revolves in the sky and sings

a haunting melody, its lyrics undecipherable,

and I am moving backwards

in slow motion...

A penny for your thoughts, a dollar for your dreams

shall I pay the price, seek out the highest bidder 

to crawl inside the chambers of your mind

where silent music echoes down

halls of regret...

We meet in the damp shadows, in a rain of kisses,

my chest as tight as a shiny bicycle chain

cresting down full speed, over rolling hills,

hearts pumping like runaway pistons

as the race begins...

Your lips, your touch, your scent draws me nigh

and makes me melt like angel wings in spring,

savoring essence of night blooming jasmine

such a passion of weeping tied to my body,

the taste of nectar so sweet...

...and my soul dances, seared with curls of fire.

Rebirth

Rebirth

One

moment

stars aligned

midnight beckoned

from the summer sky

I saw need in your eyes

and found myself falling deep

into the crescent of your smile

timeless water rushing to my head

silent tears falling from my amber eyes

an endless ache was pulsing in my heart

crimson looping back through velvet veins

spirits entangled, impassioned

exquisite longing sated

by gentle winter snow 

a twist of fate yields

purpose, rebirth 

in brown eyes

shining

bright.
