Lorraine DafneyBehind a black lace veil she waits- for his return from the bull fight hours pass, her heart fills with fright by now she's in a frantic state and then he appears, her lover as he lifts her veil of cover she smiles, for she loves her soul mate back to list |
Ryter RoethicleIn the firelights flicker I see your face A face that no longer looks at me The sparkling eyes I no longer see That looked at me with each embrace. I remember times in days long past And loving that was unsurpassed For those memories can’t be erased. ----- Heart’s Winter As the frigid winter wind chills the main So you froze my soul with your denial. No Antarctic blast equals that refusal And your indifference drives me insane. That fierce love which burned so bright Would shame the noonday sun light Has brought darkness and inward rain. Bitter tears flow into the cracks created Freezing there within, as is wont to do. Then like great boulders, rend in two, The crumbling parts no longer mated. How many times, if repaired, could we trust Before finally the pieces become as dust And what was love be never reinstated. ----- In Ash In ash, he wakes, because he wakes he weeps The past always takes, and we know not what it keeps The tears only leave a path of salt and ashes stain. But what of other things, things more dearly lost? Who knows the value of a heart and soul, what cost? And after that, the body still remains in pain And will do, for a soul severed never sleeps. ----- Nocturne Listen to the music our hearts are making Dance with me as ocean waves are breaking And the birds cry loudly to us overhead. As we love on a dark sand beach at night With bright stars and smiling moon for light What more could lovers wish for their bed? Listen to the music our hearts are making. ----- Lofty Thoughts From my lofty path way on high I saw the whirling, of the sky And the spinning of the Earth. I felt the hot explosion of the day Watched the sun speed on it’s way. Then saw the night slowly give birth And the aging day inevitably die. ----- Paparazzi A Tarantella upon the written word, Treadings once woven become a snare Creating in some a desire to lay bare Biased paragons of truth speak the absurd Catching the unwary in their vacant stare Hammering non essentials til they swear That black is white and always was preferred. Now games are crueller than realised in youth The innocent having to search for proof Media portrays the predator as the prey. Pursuit of lies, and none events occur Thus non justice cause the blameless suffer And read ignorance what the press portray Because the media bred all that is uncouth. ----- Para aprender amar Our bodies and minds conditioned by life Must show no emotion and be stoic in strife. To learn to love, you must first learn to cry For too long now, my heart has been asleep But slowly through joy, I’m learning to weep Offer your heart before love says goodbye Cut out the past with the sharpest knife. I have looked in your eyes and I see your tears You have held it inside you for all these years Now these tears cause your heart to open again. At last it has become the time for you to cry As anger and frustration from inside you die Not tears or sobs of a heart wrenched in pain But one of being held close, removing all fears. ----- Promises The noisy chatter of early morning rain Dark sonorous clouds have returned again Silencing dawn’s chorus with promises loud. As large droplets fall, but only offer wetness, Vague threats of an end to years of dryness Or just teases and stays within the cloud, Leaving the dry earth teased and in pain. Dry earth pleads for Mother Nature to share Far off flashes and crashes answer the prayer The distant thunder rolls warning, “I’m here”. Once again diamonds splatter on our screens Giving hope to all, and promises of dreams And for a while we see heavens tears, But dreams are often dashed to those who care. ----- Remembering Tiny pictures of our laughter dancing Fragment my memory in the fire's light Engraved into my mind the rhythm of your sight The end of evening and the end of wondering Your heart spoke to me in a whispered moment When loves doors opened and released a torrent Now is the time for passion and loves building Starting as a whisper builds to bodies speaking The night is left to learning the Braille of love Until the final moments with cries to one above Entering that world that is most appealing We are now wrapped within that heaven In sheets of love through time we have woven And fireside flickers serve for remembering. ----- Truant Not seeing you is like missing my heartbeat Time’s gone, I am left with a feeling of dismay And an empty night and a far more lonely day. A laggard, with slumped shoulders and dragging feet Would feel happier than I do at this moment If I could rid myself of this terrible torment And once again feel human and complete. ----- Victim of Deceit Have you ever walked an empty street, After the night has conquered the day? Feeling each step, took you a special way, Knowing that you could not retreat, Did you question what led you astray? Was there an author of a greater play, In which you were the victim of deceit? back to list |
Leny RooversHer satin skin warms to his hold as vigour mounts in bolder strokes of bow on trembling strings, invokes her song to open and unfold. Arpeggios rise up, resound, exultant climbing- peaks astound. Descending blends in moves untold. ----- Andante He rests his cheek against her skin, feels her vibrations move within; while fingers travel, touching snares, strong strokes of bow invite her song- cadence of rhythm- dance prolonged. In deep embrace both souls are bared, as on her belly rests his chin. ----- Rondo Between her body and his chin air trembles with the highest note- he licks the moisture from her throat as heat condensed on cooling skin. On gentle winds their music dies in rhythm with her fading cries; a dulcet flow runs deep within. back to list |
Trewir WintlekI’ll be here when the morning dawns And kiss away each fallen tear My love will last a million years My life’s existences, You Amon Our dreams are pure nothingness We’re the cure for our loneliness Affections we stumbled upon ----- Lost In The Blues Nothing seems to be the same Days and nights seem to be just another game Blue notes seem to enter each room Can’t seem to catch up with my favorite dream What seemed to be real, has evaporated like steam What happened to my baby, seems he’s out of tune Lost in the blues, seems like I’m the one to blame ----- Westerly Waves The Westerly waves crushed sea shells Pieces of life drown in the swells No longer to play crushed and torn Gone, are cruel days from past at last No thoughts of loving you, it’s past You left me scattered once scorned I leave you shattered sea shells Feeling colors of dark sea blue From the shore, I wander once more Empty hearted waves crashes on shore Sea shells, coral reefs in each wave new Freely I go to rid the past Tossing, spinning gasping can’t last Memories gone, by the deep blue back to list |
Nicola WynterThe robin chased the black-tailed grackle west, Sparrow looked on preening, her mood quite amused Watching the larger two flutter, for who'd Guess they were fighting, not dancing in jest To see which would find the window sill first, As grasses they carry to build or burst, A nest for the egglets, soon to be blessed. back to list |
Ryter and TrewirHow vivid are the colours of your heart, I know the truth and what you would impart What we do not know we can learn together. Do you wish to spend eternity with me And together discover what love can be? It’s not too late we have found each other Let our two souls finally make one part. How many colors does one see? Not knowing all the colors of any one together we’ll grow, answering questions having fun Eternity a life forever; loving ways for you and me Finding each other; was like an sensuously stimulating touch So rare, so fine, a once in a life time rush Two souls first and foremost, join together unconditionally free ----- Occhi Desideranti I have looked on thee with longing eyes Wishing my body was joined with thine, Having won thee, thou would become mine. I would not waste such a divine prize Rather I would worship such a treasury. My reward an eternity of pleasuring thee, And even more and all that it implies.br> Our eyes have spoken lovingly Spoken clearly in perfect unison Our love never shows comparison We value moments of loving entirely Moving far from where love was unkind Two lovers playing, romancing sublimed Our love now shows enthusiastically br> back to list |
