Lavender Soul

I have thought

I have dreamed

My mind drifting

Wondrous visions

In my head

My heart lifted

By blessings gifted

I live and breathe

These moments

Then breathe no more

Stricken within

My mind in awe

What passion is this

I see your colors

Your Lavender Soul

I feel your warmth

End not your embrace

Ever

Raging Fire

How many thoughts
How many imaginings
Have I had of you today

How few breaths
How few moments
For me have felt this way

This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire

 

Oh your voice
Even a single word
Watching your mouth move

A long sigh
A longer kiss
Oh what am I to do

This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire

 

I feel for you
And I burn
I’d burn for you
And I fall to sleep
And I dream
I dream of you

 

Oh how I wish
I could take you away
As I hope only I can do

But it is I
Who is swept by your tide
And oh how I am moved

This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire

 

Yes indeed a deep desire

 

A burning heart

 

A raging fire

Listen to RAGING FIRE.

I wrote Raging Fire for singer and dear friend Gailene Grillo about 16 years ago.

Thank you for reading, and listening.

Aetheral

I am madder than I seem

I am almost mystical

How I hide

Look into my nothing

I am not here

I am shade

Take of piece of warning

Take a pound of flesh

There will be none

No reckoning

Only pleading

Only death

You cannot have life

You cannot die

You remain

As I

Forever

 

 

~CLS~

Regret

I know I will awake with a reckoning

A half-debate

I will abandon

I will face this again

The gorgon

God bless her

Has many heads

I Don’t Know

In a world gone dark

I feel something

I don’t know what it is

But it feels like rain

 

I don’t know but it

Feels like rain

 

In a broken heart

I feel something

I don’t know what it is

But it feels like shame

 

I don’t know but it

Feels like shame

 

 

I feel my anger coming

A black storm of lightning and thunder

The wind it brings stings and the clouds wear

The faces of my fathers

Torn from the earth in this torrent

Swept up into the clouds where

My soul fights its war and

Win or lose I end up falling

 

Win or lose I end up falling

 

I’m falling

 

 

So now I’m torn apart

And I feel something

I don’t know what it is

But it feels insane

 

I don’t know but it

Feels insane

 

I know

 

Insane

Illusion

In touch with a feeling

Far beyond imagination

Search for the meaning

Hidden in the blessing

 

An impossible dream

Is she an aparition

A Goddess she seems

In her love and wisdom

 

It’s been a long, long time now

Since I’ve been touched so

But I know that somehow

I’ll fail and let her go

 

I rush for an ending

Far beyond needs or reason

Deployed and defending

For fear of Love’s treason

 

An illogical need

Where the Hell is realization

I’ve fought to succeed

My soul given ultimatum

 

And it’s a long, long way down

To reach my soul

But there will be found

The truth you want to know

 

It’s more than it’s seeming

Soul to soul connection

I’m on my knees pleading

My heart needs protection

 

I apologize I am weak

Never felt this sensation

How can this be

A dead heart has such passion

 

Oh how love confounds

Thieves all elation

Tears me down

Complete obliteration

 

It is an illusion

Remembrance

We always remember the first

 

And we love them ’til the last

 

From time to time we wish time would reverse

 

And go back to that sweet past

Red Ribbon

Feel your pulse, it quickens

Feel the presence, it darkens

Cape entwined

Desire so blind

Red, red ribbon

Around a pale neck

 

Feel the hunger, oh satisfaction

Feed the demon, oh fascination

Moon so bright

Oh wicked night

Red, red ribbon

Around a pale neck

 

Found your love, love your bride

Found your fear, love you hide

One step back

Heart so black

Red, red ribbon

Around a pale neck

 

Found your love

Found your bride

Found your fear

It’s the love you hide

One step back

Heart so black

Red, red ribbon

Around a pale neck

 

Oh, wicked night

 

Oh, how you love

 

Oh, wicked bride

Once Upon A Time

You only come Once Upon A Time

And once again I lose my mind

It seems to me obvious that my

Destiny is ideed unkind

 

For I love you

It’s all I have

And I love you

With all I am

How I love you

I know it isn’t much

 

My heart tears, my mind cries

And once again I ask why

Must such a place within me lie

Is the Void so hard to find

 

For I love you

It’s all I have

And I love you

With all I am

How I love you

I know it isn’t much

 

It isn’t much for you

 

For an angel such as you

 

I have seen my life

Sink into a sea of longing

As time passes by

Without your hands upon me

Nothing for you

In this cold dark place

Nothing for you

In my empty embrace

 

So I await Once Upon A Time

With madness mute and heartache blind

And dream that you will come for me some night

Then take my love or take my life

 

For I love you

It’s all I have

And I love you

With all I am

How I love you

I know it isn’t much

 

It isn’t much for you

 

For an angel such as you

 

For the love I bear for you…
