The KnifeWith every passing moment darkness falls,Shrouding my aching heart with heavy dusk, 'Till I can see thee no more. Where is my light that shone so bright? From whence did these dark clouds of tears roll in? I see nothing, all sounds are mute. This ticking clock ticks on and on The pain within my heart's acute.. The NymphAcross strange countries I have journeyed,Far away from home. Amongst the bright stars I have travelled, Yet always felt alone. Whilst I walked one day, far away, Amongst the forests green, There came to me some music Ethereal as dreams. It winged its way to my ears Upon a sparkling wind, Dodging trees of every kind From Oak to Tamarind. I saw it not, yet still I knew That it did sing for me, `Twas music of a heart and soul So happy and so free. I rose and walked most quietly To find its beauteous source, Beside me ran a sparkling stream, I followed its winding course. Down there amongst the rocks and trees There lay a deep, clear pool, Within it bathed a sight so pure In waters sweet and cool. The bronzen nymph did sing a song Of beauty and of love, So moving was it that I jumped Down from the ledge above. She laughed and smiled as I rose Up from my watery world, She took my hand and in my heart New dreams of love unfurled. Into her eyes my soul was drawn Our bodies moved as one, Our lips aflame, our thoughts the same Our dance went ever on. We did not see the darkening shape That moved above our heads, It flew down swiftly from the sky With scales of burning red. I felt the cold claws grab my clothes And pull me far above, My sweet nymph cried and called out loud: "Come back, come back, my love!" Through dark skies the Dragon flew To lands I never saw, O�er cliffs that lay in wintry climes Where hard ice would not thaw. He left me there upon a hill Soaked in rain and sleet, I cried a while in sheer despair And looked down to my feet. The rain did gather down below To form a rippling pool, I leant down far to peer within E�en though I felt a fool. As my fingers touched the waves A thought skipped through my mind, I called into the watery world I knew not what I�d find. A stirring of the waters threw Me flying in surprise, Up from the muddy wastes once more My body did arise. I moved up to my whirling pool And saw there deep within, An image of my darling nymph�s Black hair and bronzen skin. I whispered softly words of love To my angel down below, She looked around and saw me then Her face began to glow. I felt a strange warmth fill me now A purpose made anew, I said now surely to my love "I shall return to you." Scooping water in my pouch I stood and walked away, I travelled on into the night Seeking the light of day. For years I�ve journeyed distant lands Yet never felt alone, For every night I took my pouch And heard her soft, sweet tones. I travel still and know that soon My love and I will meet, Though I am cold and lonely, soon My life will be complete. Words FoundYea a thousand wordsHave not the power To speak of my love For thee o star, O light divine That lights my soul That fills my heart With joy in knowing Always that you, My sweet, Are mine. THE DARKEST FLAMEAnd wherefore comes this passion of mine?This thing that heeds not space and time? It roars amongst my heart's dark flames This feeling of a thousand names. I see within a burning love From dark depths below to heights above That writhes and rolls in pains of need That neither man nor distance can impede. Cold as steel my face implies My thoughts are plain, yet these are lies. For in my soul a love does grow, The seeds of which my lover sowed. ALICEA voice of purest harmoniesIs all I know of thee, That and words so swiftly sent By electricity. We meet on desert islands Within the sea of dreams, And even though we're far apart You're close to me, it seems.. Every night I find your words Upon my silver screen, I forget myself and fall into A wonderland with thee. Alice, you are my favourite friend That ne'er have I met, And when your birthday comes around I'm the best gift you'll get! CARLAFlying from the mountain's cliffAcross the deep lagoon, I fly by night and close My eyes in memories of you. I see in starlit wonder The beauty of your lips, Such soft and warm sweet petals The wine of which I sip. Now diving through the ocean blue A silence fills my mind. The only sound your soothing voice, So generous and kind. A symphony of starlight Bathes my weeping soul, Your love shines on me from above And shields me from the cold. The soft warm rustling of your hair brings to my face a smile, The loveliness that shines in you Makes this wait worthwhile. DESTINYIn shining signs of destinyI ride along the flowing winds That blow me back in ecstasy As thoughts of freedom Exist within my mind. Rose lightning lights my night In leaping sparks of silence I ask you where my spirit lies And rise into the setting light Of soulful sincerity. The raining streets beneath the lamps Reflect the smile upon my lips In thinking thoughts of silken dew Running free around my eyes I feel your closeness next to me. TE EXTRA�OMi Corazon es tristePorque no estas aqui. Eres mi dia y mi noche, Yo vivo para ti. Mi alma tiene frio Necesita tu calor Tus ojos de cafe Tu perfecta amor. Eres en mis sue�os Cada noche que viene, Tu belleza infinita Que mi corazon tiene. Eres mi perfecta No hay mejor que tu, Te digo tres palabras Siempre I love you. THE STATION PIGEONO single star who shines so brightIn sparkling grace, in my mind's night. There was a time not long ago Alone you lit my clouded soul. But then at once Was something strange There blew sweet-scented winds of change. The hanging clouds did drift away And yet my single star you stay. Surrounded by a thousand lights That shine and change what once was night. Yet still amidst these sirens' calls You shine the brightest Of them all. SUNRISEA soft luminous oceanOf light laps against The shores of reality. A cup of liquid fire Is tilted gradually To melt the crystal ice, Sparkling in one still Moment of eternal time. Each footstep cracks The frozen earth beneath The woman's feet. Alone she kneels amongst The moon-chilled plants Removes her trowel, Begins to dig. Her face so old and frail But yet her glinting eyes In silent joy reflect The beauty of sunrise TIKAI walk upon the rocky beachThe stones beneath are sapphire blue Reflecting sparkles from above I stare at them and notice you. I reach down low to hold you tight Yet in my way the stones of distance Stop me. But then I think, All I see is but reflection The real beauty shines above! As I gaze up into the sky A single star lights my eyes I lie upon the cold stones beneath And watch. Time passes, eyes grow heavy The light seems so far away. I reach out to this shining star I call out asking where you are? My eyelids shut, darkness surrounds Yet as my body grows slowly weaker I begin to dream of Tika.. WORDSas hot as liquid firethe flame that they do light, and yet so cold as bitter ice their sharp and senseless bite. my beating heart its pace so fast knew all before twas said. and yet for moments infinite yet single the beating stopped. the floor that once had seemed so sure had dropped. I knew then what death must be. a silent falling drop of rain, the child of a clouded soul fell to earth and left a hole that surely will remain. |
