ALL
You are all I fear and all I need
you are my darkness and my light
you lift me up on the wings of day
then take me down in the depths of night
Narcotic pleasure drugs my senses
in constant craving feed my dreams
you fill me drain me twist my hope
stolen from me as I scream
Without you I am half a life
the unsung song, a book not read
numbing pain without the pleasure
a body sleeping, left for dead
Give me all I am meant to have
spare me nothing my cup's but half-filled
love me and hurt me then hold me
'til my heart's frantic beating is stilled
A Magic Place
He carried me away
on wings so strong
they might be steel
So heavy was my heart
upon his trust I
laid my pain to heal
He carried me away
through time and space
that mortals dare not know
His every kiss, caress
a magic place
where all I am could grow
Soared high above the hurt
my loneliness and tears
did dissipate in mist
as in his arms I lie
his strength my own
I need not more than this
I see you from a distance now
the line's been drawn
I cannot cross
My heart cries out with silent need
my soul is empty
with the loss
I see you from across the room
you glance at me
then look away
I choke back tears and cannot breathe
I never had you
anyway
How could you know the damage done
the pain you caused
the dreams you stole
The only one to blame is me
I needed you
to make me whole
You filled my heart and kept me sane
you'll always be
my fantasy
Now what is left of me remains
to suffer in
reality
Inside
You know I've been to your heart
breathed deep the rain-washed air
I've felt your thrumming passion
and held the loneliness there
I've laid my soul beside your thoughts
and championed your dreams
basked naked in your sunlit joy
and bathed in sorrowed streams
I've ached for you in torment
your every hope is my desire
my eyes have seen through your eyes
I'm so warm beside your fire
My nerves are wrought with yours
in pulsing harmony within
I close my eyes and move with you
as if our bodies share one skin
Can you feel me as I join you
walking 'midst this hallowed place
drinking deeply of your wine
in the strength of your embrace
forbidden fruit
is hanging lush
in clusters ripe
from laden vines
well swollen
with desire
and yet within my reach
a mere temptation's step
away from fire
your eyes aglow
in claret smoke
inviting me to
taste your wine
to drink until I
overflow and
touch my thirsty lips
to thine
such heady nectar
stuff of gods
a bacchanal of splendor
drunk with wild abandon
as if sin was
ne'er conceived
now lost in tangled
passion dark
mysterious and tender
to drown in you
with sweet release
your Adam
to my Eve
masterpiece
nature's marvel
grand design
take my mouth
and all that's mine
loving art
master strokes
sculpted form
lust provokes
moving closer
cover me
with your body
ecstasy
fluid passion
flowing through
liquid heat
comes from you
I touch your flesh
so tentative
offering all
I have to give
nature's marvel
grand design
take my love
drink my wine
thief of my heart
love of my soul
tear me apart
the make me whole
take my world from me
mold it anew
make me a mirror
a reflection of you
fill me to bursting
drain me of fears
feed me with loving
drink of my tears
my reason for living
my darkness my light
take all I am giving
and love me tonight
THE HEAT FROM YOUR TOUCH
LINGERS LONG BEYOND THE MOMENT
BURNING TRUE
INTO THE REALM OF DREAMS
THIS SCORCHING ESSENCE
THIS BRAND
FROM YOU
HOW HOT MY BODY SEEMS
AN INNOCENT CARESS
OF FLESH PRESSED 'GAINST FLESH
RUNNING DEEP
THAT WARMS ME TO THE CORE
THIS TENDER CONTACT
A TREASURE
I KEEP
YET STILL LEAVES ME WANTING MORE
