Grandma
I hear your voice so clearly
your hope
that see's me for me
you always knew
that my journey
was meant to be
even when others
wouldn't
you found that way to encourage me
even when the road was hard
your solace
allowed me to keep going
your wisdom
showed me which path to take
your love
smiles down on me
I hear your whispers
telling me
keep on going
and believe
within the truth
in your heart
Do you hear my mad cries?
A shattered mind,
Only understood by the ravings of
a madman!
A mocking reasoning
of those dreams
terrified,
No rhyme or reason
to those who see me!
Facing those inner demons
that race forever in my mind,
Sanity...
Mortal reasoning,
Delusions of grandeur...
Follow the path,
Isn't it clear?
Yes, I'm a misfit,
Yes...
I'm a castoff,
But...
I really don't care,
Rumors of power,
And really...
You think that matters to me?
Why?
Only the masquerade...
those bloodhunts
that rage in the night,
Visions of the Camarilla
dance past
what was once my soul,
And here I am
laughing at death...
And those who find a way
to betray it!
In that high forest of green,
Celebrated in the vision of time,
Harmony touches those who feel the wind of nature
that resides in the heart of all,
It soothes the troubled spirit
eternal in its memory
though only fleeting moments are spent
within its splendid grandeur,
Hear the distant melodies
floating on the wings of the velvet breeze,
Hear the secrets of days past
whispering faintly into your ears,
That magic pulsating in an element of green
Where its life touches your soul
sacred in nature,
Those fragrant scents
abound in a breath
misted in an aroma of time,
Those winds of love
touched just by being there,
A blessing felt surrounded by harmony
eternal ancient songs risen
in the winds of love,
And a silent prayer whispered
by the ancient ones of the forest,
Surrounding your leaden spirit
and lifting your torment & pain
as it is blown to the winds
and you can hear the cherubs singing your sad song
though you listen with detachment
for they have seized your sorrow
and allowed it to run through them
as that you may fully take pleasure
in the delicate brilliance of the lust forest,
And as you look
a unicorn rises its Majesty of its mane,
It touches on the freedom within the forest
and those who live in it,
For harmony touches on those souls
a heartbeat at a time,
A miracle in nature's eyes,
A dream found only once in a lifetime,
In the distance you can see
a herd of centaur
held only a breath at a time,
And in all its radiance and glory
white light surrounds you and warms your soul
as you tread through the city
and allow your heart to shed all hatred and pain
until you begin to hear the stunning melody
too remarkable for the human ears to detect
and you find yourself adding your own harmony
without even parting your lips,
Celebrating a miracle of love,
Completing that need that you've searched for
all of your life,
Somehow you finally found it,
Home....
sweet home
Arvanaith...
city within the trees.
Your touch falls upon me like
a kiss in the morning dew,
The gaze of your eyes
is like the touch of new born child,
the silence resonates with the sound
of your heart beating,
Could this be our love?
Wherein a shadow that touches
those echoes revealed in passion,
Look in my eyes
and see those dreams
as I do,
Hear those whispers
feathered in promises
near an image of time,
Promises touch like a summer day
that the sun never sets upon,
The passion of Thor's eternal forge,
The dreams of a child forever lost in innocence,
Could this be our love?
And in a never ending reflection
time stands still...
just to keep the moment
of our knowing each other,
Discoveries met
in an ironic voice that allows us
to sample a memory,
Moment by moment
like an explorer of a river of lost souls,
We will never give up,
We will never give in,
Until we find forever
all our love within.
Down Deep
beneath the dark earth
an earth spirit sound
knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him
those eons of time
where mountains rose
molten lava
gives life
as a blood stream
where sometimes it erupts
and spews like an angry god
other times
it's calm
like a beach
where its sister
the ocean
rolls its sand in its own rhythm
some it rumbles
as earthquakes reminding some
that they don't have
the final word
To walk that soft earth
where rhythms of life
find that special song
listen to the wind
and let it speak to you
Its whisper
reveals those secrets
that allow one to smile
listen to the water
and let it speak to you
its wisdom
reveals life
as it flows
around one
listen to the earth
and let it speak to you
its strength
comforts you
as you walk
down life's path
listen to the fire
and let it speak to you
its light
finds that truth
and peals back the shadows
that hide
the hurt
found in one's heart
listen to the spirit
and let it speak to you
its love
allows one to continue
that walk
we find ourselves in
that echo
we call life
my need for you
is near addiction
the way you smile
your simple little laugh
the way you tease
just by a simple walk
the way you hold me
when we dance
the smell of vanilla
in your perfume
kiss me again
in the shadows
as we find that romance
we both need
and we'll make love
the whole evening through
and wake in each others arms
first light in the morning
that smiling face
where your eyes
touches deep into your soul
I hear the whisper
of your sweet voice
as you wrap your arms around me
and we dance into the night
you whisper my name
and kiss me
where the anticipation
of the evening
where we make love
is overwhelming
your warmth
completes me
Can you hear me whisper
your name?
those sometime
memories
felt honestly
within the shadows
where romance
once was
and the emptiness remains
across that October moment
but somehow I find a way
to remain relevant
don't ask me why
because the answer
isn't that simple
what we had changed
as we both did
and yet I won't hold a grudge
that isn't me
I'll just smile when we meet again
and let you find
the path you choose
somewhere down the line
