Hungry Desire

Even the moon looks down in jealousy
As she reaches for her desire
Grasping the heat with her hungry hands
Using it to fill her soul

Name It

Put a name to it
Feel it fully...
Embody it...
Experience the depth of it
Face it
NO! Really, confront it...
Battle it
Defeat it
Let it go...

The Sleep

As I sit here 
Watching you sleep 
So Peaceful
And so sound
I see you as a child
Innocent and sweet
Dreaming of
Faraway lands
I want to touch you
To kiss you
But I fear
You'll wake
Spoiling the 
Wondrous thoughts
In you sleep 
I smile to myself
Wishing I were asleep
Dreaming with you
In the peaceful deep

The Space Between


She was an all or nothing kinda girl
But there was Darkness in the All 
And Blackness in the Nothing
This time, at least,
There was a little light 
In the Grey space between 

~2019~

The Light

Over the years
Our love has grown
To lead the the way
Like the light of dawn

Down this path
It shines so bright
Even if trees try to 
Block its light

Following along
We understand
The strength we bear
Walking hand in hand 

Without your love
The light would dim
The dark shadows 
Would soon close in

Face to Face

After all we've been through
Here we stand
Face to Face 
Hand in hand

Your sunshine smile
Your warm laughter 
Will brighten my days
Forever after

You have made my life
Complete and full
Before you,
It was grey and dull

From this day on
I vow so true
My life is yours
I love you

Already Diving

I wish I could know
How it was supposed to end
Then I would know
Where, now, to begin

If you could see deep
Within my heart
Then you would understand
Why I am scared to start

To form a new relationship
With one, I believe, cares
Then to see him walk away
As if I wasn't there

Who would have thought
After all these years
You and Me,
We would be standing here
Facing the questions
Unwanting to answer
What will happen
When one leaves Asheville

You've become a part of me
That I don't want to lose
But, please, don't make me
Feel I have to choose

Between feelings and knowledge
It is hard to decide
When pain and heartache
Are still fresh on my mind

Try to understand
The way I feel
Like stepping in the water
That's not at all clear

The bottom is murky
But the top, inviting,
Right now, I feel, 
I am already diving

True (5-92)

You restlessly sit and clench your fists tight
Erect, proper, silently thinking through
Words that don't come easy, clear and exactly right
Your eyes search slowly, my face, for a clue
Blue, green, grey, they turn in need of light
A light in the depth of my heart for you
I can see your desire to put up this fight 
Because it would be easy easy to make one of two

But we are nervous and too scared to try
Whatever it is we are doing here
Honesty, truth, sincerity is nigh
You should feel you have nothing to fear
Look into my eyes so deep down in the blue
and know, my dear, I will always be true


Dark Eyes (90s)

Your dark eyes penetrate my soul
Straight to the core of my existence
Telling me of a longing deep inside
Maybe one only I can fulfill

Your touch leaves chills down my spine
As if it were a path of ice
Slowly creeping down my back
Then engulfing all of me

Intensity grows with every kiss
You hold me tighter against your chest
I can feel every muscle of your body
Tensing against mine

Passion rises from your lips
To gently caress my neck
Slowly exploring each line and curve
An continuing down my back

Where will this lead, I wonder
As I close my eyes
Thinking, take me where you may
As long as I am in your arms tonight

Thinking and Weeping (90s)



Thinking thoughts
Feeling blue
Far from home
Nothing to do 

Rain is falling
The sky is dark
How I need 
A walk in the park

Thunder claps
At the show
The lightning gave
Before running to go

Trees join in 
The grand applaud 
With help from the wind
That may leave them bald

I stare from my window
Hoping to see
A glimmer of sunshine
A Happier me

How long will you weep
I ask the sky
He answered "Forever...
My baby said Goodbye"




Alone (the 90s)

As I sit here alone
I think of my past
Where has time gone
It just doesn't seem to last

Many tears have fallen
Many smiles were shared
I hear my name you're calling
But when I look, you're not there

Memories flow like a fountain
Come rushing back again
I'd climb the highest mountain
Fight the fiercest rain
To have your arms around me
Like a blanket from the pain

I have lost that security
That once held me close
To protect me from harm
And loved me the most

One day that all died
Left me cold as stone
Crying in the rain
Sad, lost and all alone

You picked up with your life
As if I had never entered
Buried our memories deep
Far from your heart's center

I will go on without you
For, I know, I must
I'll find someone to love me
Someone I can trust




Burning Desire (5-92)

Burning desire
Flashing pain
Longing lips 
To seal a fate 

Blood is swirling 
In the dark
Passions growing 
With each beating heart

Red, purple
Black and white
Feelings that are 
Too hard to fight

Your breath is hot
Against my skin
I know I will 
Indulge in this sin

Your hands on my back
Smooth and bare
Slowly moving 
Where they dare

My longing body
Overtakes my mind
Freeing our souls 
To intertwine


THE PURPLE SKY (1992)

A YELLOW MOON FILLS THE DARKENED SKY
A STAR GLISTENS BY ITS SIDE
MY HEART LISTENS FOR YOURS TO BEAT
WITH THOUGHTS FOR ME, THAT YOU SEEK

THE WIND TOUSLES THE TREES ABOUT
THE RAIN IS BEGINNING TO  STREAM DOWN
MY MIND RETURNS TO YOUR GLEAMING FACE
MY BODY ACHES FOR YOUR WARM EMBRACE

LIGHTNING STREAKS THE PURPLE SKY
THUNDER SHOUTS FOR MORNING LIGHT
MY EYES WEEP A SONG FOR YOU
MY CHEEKS ARE WET WITH MORNING DEW

THEN THE SUN WAKES ITS SLEEPY EYES
TO GREET THE WORLD FROM DEEP INSIDE
IT DRIES MY TEARS AND HOLDS ME TIGHT
TO WHISPER, "IT WILL BE ALRIGHT"


Your Hands (2/92)

Your warm hands caress my back
Exploring every curve
Slowly moving down my spine
Putting a tingle in every nerve

Your embrace is strong but tender
Holding my body to yours
Heating the dark with passion
Engulfing me into your world

Your eyes meet mine and lock
As they look deep into my soul
To see that you are my weakness
My desire is out of control

I can feel the intensity of your passion
Your hand grasps mine
Willingly,I answer your silent question
Allowing our souls to intertwine

This World

In this world today

Even the best intentioned efforts

Can be twisted to sound like hate 


Choices

Right there is the mirror
Look into your own eyes
Look Deeply
See Clearly

You There
You have the Power
The Power to Change
To Change Yourself
To Change the World

Choices from here
Determine How you get There
Choose Wisely

In Peace




The Sun

The Moon

The Stars

Even the Rain 

Followed her into the depths of the ocean

Sinking into the depths of the blue

Wrapping around her

Holding her safely

As She floated in peace

For the first time in her life

You Will Let Her





She was like a drug

Always leaving you wanting more

She could reach into your heart

Take hold and never let go

If you let her...

And, oh you will let her

A Look




A Look

A Smile

A Touch

A Need

A Desire

Untamed

The Passion was once Untamed

Then that fire was extinguished

But deep within her that ember still lives

Burning in her soul

She pours it into other things

So she does not explode

I Am Worth It



He reached for me

I moved away

He said he would chase me

Let Him

Because I know I am worth it

Just My Hand

Go ahead and take it

It is just my hand

Not the window to my soul...
