Sometimes in the morphia of night

When the roads are white swathes

Of reflected dark and light loneliness

And the rear lights of an odd vehicle

Fade to wavering bandages of red

Leaving moments of unfolded silence

I wander aimlessly unable to sleep

Not wanting to dream the dream

Where in warmth you feed the passion

An old poet fighting against    
The echoing granite walls of time

Traces fingertips along gnarled grooves

Of an ancient dying oak

And with a tear bids it farewell

As pirouetting shadows are swallowed

By restless drifting dark clouds

And memories shrouded in past mists

Desperately play hide and seek

Itching for the taste of freedom

We may be miles apart                 *

But we will always be

In the same room

With emotions that remain

Overflowing with love

For you are in my heart

Which knows nothing of time

But only the last moments

That we spent together

Where are those poets                      *

Those that spoke of stars

And beckoned us to look

Beyond our daily habitats

To embrace love and honour

They have vanished in the mist

Becoming shadowed silhouettes

Frozen fountains of passion

Hiding behind shuttered windows

Waiting for a new beginning

Which will never arrive for

Every new beginning comes from

Another beginnings end

Was I an invisible nothing                   *

A cool breeze in your face

Just a speck in your mind

Or someone from yesterday

And only an easy goodbye

While to me you were

Always the light to my sun

Nothing but the world in my eyes

Holding my heart in your hands

Nothing but my life in your arms

Love is not some game           *

Of patiently wait and see

For the heart knows nothing

Of time and blank spaces

It is there to be embraced

Before it has vanished

Locked away in a cage 

Where unwanted tears reside

Love me as the sun                                 

Loves its reflections

On a peaceful calm ocean

Love me as the wind

Loves to make music

Whistling through the trees

Love me as the moon 

Loves to flaunt its glory

Shining in the night sky

But most of all love me

Because you do

Just a golden candle                             *

That slowly slowly burns 

In the kiss of your love 

This sweet melting, 

And tender burning 

Has paved the way 

For silver stardust

So mystic and bright

The heart breaks open 

Amid its sobbing beauty

And so vibrant it screams

Come - become me

The sound of a gentle rustle of soft silk

And the alluring scent of her perfume

Sent my mind wildly spin dancing

In a kaleidoscope swirl of emotions

Embeding them in a never to be forgotten
