So Lovely

It’s so lovely out tonight
Hills soft silhouette
On soft bright sky
Stars are shining
The moon is wild
Warm wind croons
It’s velvet sigh
 
I’m so lonely out tonight
I know I could be somewhere
If I just had the heart
I still see the cool clear fire
Of your eyes
I can see the promise
In your smile
 
And if I’m quiet
When stars fall from [...]

Shelter

Could you shelter me this time?
Keep me from the cold?
Would you lend some tenderness
To pull around my soul?
 
Is there room for me inside you?
Could you spare some of your warmth?
Would you hold me in your heart?
Still wrapped around my own?
 
Soothe me with your voice you’ve found
Whisper into me
All your secret knowings
All your mysteries
 
Keep me where I’ll [...]

Amber Blue and Green

 
Although you’ll never know
What thoughts I held for you
You could not miss the way
I held myself so close
And yet so distant
And still we looked right through
 
Amber blue and green
They looked straight into me
What were they thinking?
 
I can hear you breathing
And feel the swallow in your throat
I can hear the beating of your heart
In time with [...]

Sanctuary in Your Arms

Sanctuary in your arms
The place I’ve longed to be
Refuge I’ve been dying for
I find myself received
 
Sanctuary in your arms
I never would believe
A hunger that has always been
Has finally been relieved
 
Restless heart has always been
The lonesome guide in me
Now I find I’m home again
I never want to leave

SHY

Underneath a velvet sky
Walking on a moonless night
I watch the stars
So near, so far
Walking side by side
 
Taking in the harbor lights
Reminds me of another life
You reach for me
We all need
To just hold on sometimes
 
Looking in your quiet eyes
A world I’m lost in for a while
Bright and dark
A waiting spark
I feel my own eyes shy
 
Taking in [...]

Waiting

I waited
Your picture faded
With every passing moon
 
Nights I lay
Just waiting
Time after time for you
 
Hours wasted
Going crazy
Lonely in my room
 
I hated
This craving  
Like some psychic tattoo
 
Baby
Just maybe
You’ve got one too

Sparingly

I loved you
I did not really know this
Or I did, and I hid and I bit
It back
For the taste of this
Too sweet for you to swallow
 
While I could not show you
Neither would I conceal it
Entirely
Anyone could see all I spurned
For the moments you gave
Sparingly
Mine
Ours
 
I needed you
You did not really know this
Or. You did, but [...]

Torn

 

 
Remember
The first time

Breathless
And torn

Remember
Wondering
If now
Or never
If once
Or forever
Wondering
Whether
She’s yours
Remember
The last time
She held you
So close

Should You See Yourself

To you,
should you see yourself.
 
You who speaks of illusion, who never tires, ferreting out every shred of human decency wherever it still turns not it’s back on you; you who avails yourself of the generosity of strangers and even the very ones you have harmed; you with the lie on your lips and the log [...]

The Last Rape

My sympathy
Impotent
I reach to comfort
My hand unmet
My words hover
No ease given
Yet my heart remembers
The last rape of innocence
 
I am sorry
I would take this
From your soul, your body
If I could bear it
I would share this pain
I am sick with knowing
There is no grace for it
I have only this sympathy
Only, I am sorry, again.
