A Little Love




This one was actually written for me by a young woman called Nikki.

Butterflies

Your eyes,
Just a look and the darkness disappears
Caterpillers of fear, lust and love eat into my head.

Make me a butterfly

I want to soar free
will you fly with me?
I think of you,
in the thunder storm
I lay in the grass and think of you
My body shakes
with every groan of the clouds
Oh the power and beauty
and what it makes me feel
I lie there, wet and satisfied
thinking of you,
shivering and thinking of you.


I Think

I think of her, and smile
At the storm in her eyes
when she's angry.
At a smile, so filled with light
it burns me.
At a soul so pure,
All others pale.
I think of her, and cry.


Soft Focus

I see you, soft focus
Fire in your eyes
Blood on your lips
Ice in your heart.
Faithless
Loveless
Yet still here!
No pain too great
No fear can touch
Because,
Though you love not
you are loved.
Deeply
Wholly
Eternally.


Sonnet #1

(for Sam)

A brief encounter sealed my fate,
In Azure seas, where I may drown.
Lost adrift to contemplate,
Etheric beauty, pale gold crown.

Again the chasm at my feet,
And on the other side you stand.
The greatest challenge I can meet,
To bridge the gap, and take your hand.

A gentle touch to know you're there,
Guide me throught the darkest night.
Lifts my soul from deep despair,
To wake with you by morning light.

And so complete, though left unsigned
Within these words, my heart you'll find.


Sonnet #2

Twist the knife inside my mind,
I fear the things I leave behind.
Cannot find the things I need,
Tongue like razor, my heart bleeds.

Lost to love I find myself,
Is this the thing they call true wealth?
Burned inside, to my surprise
The liquid fire, your wonderous eyes.

Soft spoken words, they cannot change,
The way it feels, I rearrange.
My life, to find the time to be
Exactly what you want from me.

I bequeath to you my every part
My life, my love, my soul, my heart.


Shattered

Shattered,
The fragments fall to the ground.
Scattered,
My dreams to the wind.
Alone again
with so many around.
Why can I not find
Solace.
A warm place
to rest my head.
A loving soul
to share my bed.
Anything
I would give,
these things to have,
to hold,
My very own.
My love
My life.
