Sanctuary

I would that I could hold you
And keep you in comfy warmth;
Wrap you safe and trance like
In my loving arms.
I would that I could hold you;
Hold your hand awhile,
Brush your lovely hair back,
And bath'd be in your smile
I would that I could hold you
And kiss your precious lips;
Hold you tight against me
And melt into your hips.
I would that I could hold you
And fill your heart with bliss
So nothing else could matter,
'Cause only we exist.

Wider Horizons

Stare trough the looking glass
And what do you see?
Fearful visions
And fodder for fearful dreams
But pull back a moment and you will find,
As your view expands
And your eyes start to see
The fearsomest things are tiny yet
When compared to the strength we have
And the strength we get
From loving to pieces
And peacefulness, too,
Each other,
Saying I love you..

Binary

See that unending flame,
See it burn
Not unlike the stars
That fill our brightened sky,
Hot and life giving,
Eternal,
And pure...

We are star-forged,
You and I.
We belong,
Hand in hand...
Together,
In the night's sky.

Sensorial

I melt into the walls
And am subsumed by the room
I'm locked in a surreal dream
With crepe curtains,
Walls with rugged, running spines
And talk that is neither here nor there,
Except I wonder where that might be...
Smoke curls around me
(The pipes are blowing hard tonight)
And I follow it -
The ups and downs of a life
Surrendered to the inevitable -
With an untrained mind
Struggling to remain in control
Of some sort or form.
I hope I find you again
I hope you find strength
I hope I do too,
Because it will take so much
To risk my soul again.

A Beat Escapes

I didn't see you,
In the real sense of seeing you,
Until you spoke
And in that moment -
The moment I first saw you -
I knew I'd seen you somewhere before.
I'd given you a name before the world was born.
You've tracked through my dreams all my life.
Every place I've gone,
I've looked,
Searching for you.
In books,
In stories,
In stony corridors,
Real and of the soul,
I've searched for you.

And when I found you,
Time stopped.


And then, with the softest beat,
After slowing my heart
For the longest second,
The clock ticked on again.

Vinculum

Two numbers sat together, two
One was me and one was you
A line was drawn to join us both
A tie of love, a sign of troth

A Ray of Hope

There's a ray of hope
Shining right here
There's a ray of light
For you
There's the possibility
Of true joy,
True joy,
'Cause there's a ray of hope
Shining in you.

Nothing matters more
Than you
Nothing makes my soul glow so
Nothing makes the world
Dazzle in so many colours
But you.

There's a ray of hope
Shining right here
There's a ray of light
For you
There's the possibility
Of true joy,
True joy,
'Cause there's a ray of love
Shining in you.
