Angel on Earth

The silent stillness that holds my breath
Intoxicated by the beautiful dawning of day
Immersed in unconditional, complete love
Knowing deep within me the path; the way

A sweet presence that holds me close
The imprint of an enchanting energy
Seeing all through brand new eyes
While witnessing the incredible synergy

Eternally grateful for all that is and will be
Blessed to know a special angel on earth
For through his heart I am made clear
And creative genius is giving birth

Forever My Lover

Sensuality simply does not exist
Another holding my back with his hand
Feeling another's lips on my skin
None of these could I ever stand

Without your touch I have been
Such a memory I could never forget
The feel of your soul's energy
The surge no one else ever met

The magnet that holds us entranced
Acting without thought of consequence
The impulse of two familiar hearts
Leaving us without intelligent sense

Burning desire with never ending fuel
Emotions words could never identify
The beauty of souls merging once again
Through the ages continuing to mystify

Forever once promised the first time
Forever and ever the promise is renewed
Through all that is or ever will be
A love that can never be subdued

From Afar

I've died in your eyes a thousand times
Your imprint the deepest of my soul's cells
The strength of my heart, my warrior indeed
It is for your love my heart still wails

The very breath of me taken from within
The moment I felt you coming near me
Knowing with all I am or will ever be
It is only you who has my heart's key

Oh how I felt you somewhere out there
I closed my eyes and blindly stepped out
With nothing but faith and true knowing
As in every time, never did I doubt

Here you are, there not here
A connection felt around the world entire
I am burning inside to touch you once more
To feel now in this lifetime, again our fire

There is no obstacle that will keep me
From knowing all of my love's desire
Walk with me once again among the clouds
Until then, I will wait from afar and admire

Trust the Heart

Hair with hues of blue, as the darkest raven -
Deep, lustrous pools of passion look out,
Seeing not what stands patiently before him,
All, in fear, this invisibility brought about.

What speaks to and urges on the soul -
The glorious passion that ever burns within;
Trust never being an option, as it seems -
Would the opposite of that be such a sin?

You see letting go as taking away this fire -
That which keeps your spirit driving;
Yet, this the very thing - what you truly need -
This fear is robbing your spirit of thriving.

Dance in the moonlight to the sound of the waves -
Celebrate every emotion you can feel;
Wake up and truly be alive in the light -
Let go - and finally, let your heart heal.

It is the heart that drives all things to success -
This, the ultimate and one simple rule;
Without it, struggles exist by leaps and bounds -
With it, removed are the obstacles of life's school.

Your heart speaks; your passion is waiting -
Open up, let go, and let all that pent up love flow;
Only through the heart does real success await you -
All it requires is just simply letting go.

Come Home

Gladly, will I submit to your claim;
Knowing not, even, all you ask of me -
Knowing still, with all my heart, all I am;
All I long for, is still yet to be.

The words I long to hear from your lips;
I beg you, put them to my name -
Know, that I am here, still, in wait;
Waiting to rid you of your pain.

I feel your breath and know it's pace;
Though miles of road keep you afar -
Wherever I am, I carry my heart;
And, so my love, there you are.

A man of action standing back, so timid -
Come to me, and show your face;
Let me hear in the sound of your voice -
In those words, await your taste.

The truth you explode on every level;
Your own heart, though, you hide;
Let go of all that holds you so tightly -
Close your eyes, and open wide.

Embrace what your heart awaits;
Beneath the veil of shroudded mystery -
What it lacks, stands waiting;
Aligned in perfect symmetry.

You Are Me

In every moment I see your smile -
You should be here with me;
I long to feel your gentle touch -
But I wonder now, will this be?

Connected across time and land -
To know your heart once again;
Your boundless soul knows mine -
But this time, will my heart win?

A fleeting thought I know is yours -
A song I hear, always in my mind;
I know you are thinking of me -
But, will my heart, you find?

I can see through time and space -
But, your love I cannot see;
I can feel what others feel inside -
Separate I cannot, for you are me.

As if looking in the mirror -
To see the other side I hide;
There I am inside your heart -
Where my love will forever abide.

Centuries

I have known you through centuries -
In my dreams I am gently guided;
Times and eras where we have been -
Blessed memories, I stand excited.

For all eternity, I have known you -
Through each cycle, to find you at last;
Once again, remembering every event;
As if, all in one moment, is our past.

What was it, my love, that I once did?
A cell of worry exists through fear;
Perhaps, it is, you misunderstood -
It was for your love, I took that spear.

And here and now you seek me out -
Whirling in emotion brought from there;
Rushes running through our veins -
Pinning these hearts that do so dare.

Wondering, why this time, we have chosen -
Such miles in obstacles to be near;
Your day - My night; Opposite worlds -
Why now, in this time, does this appear?

Not meant to be? I couldn't believe -
How is it, through all, we have still found;
The hearts that beat only for each other -
The signs, all around us, so profound.

Come hither, my love, as I await -
Or bring me to the nearness we so need;
For centuries, together, we have worked -
Planting this ever blossoming seed.

Butterflies

The butterflies have returned -
Once again, they whirl inside me;
At the sight of you, fluttering -
A sight they so longed to see.

Your energy is with me still -
Though you are so many miles away;
Lost in the moment without time -
With so much still left to say.

I knew you would not go far -
Still the agony swelled deep;
Needing your smile, your words -
My heart took a giant leap.

Faith in knowing without a doubt -
The bigger plan, yet to be seen;
Our future is still yet to be -
Waiting to see what it all means.

Unlocked Treasure

At times I've thought to break the silence -
That lingers still between you and I;
Uncertain if I really should do that or not -
Wondering if you've thought of our goodbye;

To share such, as all that we shared -
Distance between us so vast and great;
How can one just simply walk away -
From paths that crossed by fate?

Irrational words burst through emotion -
No time to think, impatient with pain;
Angry for all I was willing to risk -
Feelings to work out, of shame.

Did not you know my heart indeed -
Or was it all for the pleasure?
Reality or fear, I still do not know -
To run from an unlocked treasure.

Risque, for sure, what I suggested -
I'd not thought to lose altogether;
Indeed, I thought to know your heart -
I'll still treasure the memory forever.
