Off to the sky, beyond the clouds…
And the revolutions grow faster, but, slowly, I begin to perceive their pattern.
I am a slow learner, but I have been given...

Lovers Over TimeFire ignites in the body.
Pleasures that transcend life within life
and create tremors in the soul.
A kiss on the lips, honey drips.
Bodies entangled in embrace so tight.
Everything so right.
In euphoric ecstasy
in the presence of abiding love

Footprints

on this frost enameled morning
as I leave my footprints graffitied
across the white grass,
sending the noise of every step
to crunch my presence
into a wide, frozen silence.
I stop, marooned...

My Now is Just Your ThenAs the clocks creep,
unknown...
again,
my summer's call,
of Calendulas,
and Cotswold stone,

Unraveling mysteries, yet time remains unread and unknown.
From birth to death, its secrets keep winding,
Yet its origin, and ours, reprove our theories.
A journey through aeon, our pale...

When Death Stopped for MeBecause I could not escape from Life –
It rudely dragged me forth –
The chaos swirled, consuming all –
And Oblivion, my worth.
We raced through days – no time to rest...

Where my memory's goI had a moment to see
Flashbacks
Rewind,
Rewind my memory
I need these thoughts to breath
Fireworks to help me feel
Light my mind
Keep me spinning on this timeline
Moments ago, we touched hands and it touched my soul
Only my heartbeats...
