Entombed Free Forever

v0_master

Unending side by side,
Encased in stony tomb,
A sight for folks to gaze upon,
Gripped forever in death’s womb.

Hands clasped now together,
As in life we held on tight,
Wondering future maybes,
In silent breezes of the night.

Buried are our bodies
In this dark, dank, musty place,
But our love goes on forever,
In the Universal space.

No stone to turn and bind us,
No dark to cover light,
Freedom through the galaxies,
Souls fleeing in full flight.

Dreamy You

Arrows of darkness,
Shades of night,
Fly over my windowsill.

Waiting, hoping, bated breath,
Could they be signs of you?

Smooth butterscotch skin,
Silken touch,
My fingers gliding, sliding.

Gently, softly, touching here,
Glide, touch down beside me.

Stretching so lightly,
Breathing soft,
Light ephemeral shadow.

Transparent yet real,
Dream to feel,
My deep wounded heart you heal.

A Reading of You

****

I read on
Deep in the imaginings
Of the cold winters morning
I lose me….

Gone the smile, the happiness, the dream,
Come the moment, lost I seem,
Dressed to kill and naked lie,
Dreaming of my loves gone by,
‘Tis but a lucid, momentary thought,
That task to do, the one I ought,
Yet here I lie, in sheets of blue,
Wait, with bated breath, for you.

Love In The Lee – No Guarantee

****

In the lee by the shore
I waited
My heart battered and sore

My lifelong love
She hated
Me more than ever before

I ‘d done the deed
I shouldn’t
Taken more than was my need

Forgive me now
She wouldn’t
No love comes guaranteed
