I look in your eyes

And see eternity

I hold your hands

And feel security

I kiss your lips

And feel longevity

I breathe your breath

And love flows through me

November 2000

Soul of my soul,

you are my inspiration.

My reason for being.

The focus of my meditation.

You touch me like no other.

Without hands you caress my soul

filling the empty spaces.

You are that which makes me whole.

Passion echoes you

while shooting stars sensually explode.

Calmly.

My eyes smile.

All I touch is your silence

Piano resonates that sensual fear

Still I want your melodic cadence

You are so sweet, so sincere.

Logic of my mind,

voice of my heart,

Soul of my soul ...

I love you more than life.

Jan 2002

I dream of a canvas before me

And a brush in my hand

A portrait of you in my water-colour land.

Naked

Tangled in the sheets

Of a bright red rose bed

With moonlight in your eyes

And starlight in your hair.

I dream of a canvas before me

And a brush in my hand

A portrait of you in my water-colour land.

Rainbow skies

Fields of flowers

You in the middle

Asleep for hours

Pretty butterflies around your head.

I dream of a canvas before me

And a brush in my hand

A portrait of you in my water-colour land.

But alas, I am not an artist

And my words will have to do

I, your Mona Lisa,

Paint a portrait of you.

May 2001

He is the cure to all that ails.
Casting out the common cold
of a not-so-common life.
My cheek shows trails
of tears from fears too old to mention,
Demolished by his love,
which will never fail.

Dec 2001

Did I forget to tell you that I loved you?

Did it slip my mind?

That you carry my heart around your neck

Like a forgotten good luck charm

That is losing its glow and freshness

Did I forget to gaze into your eyes once more

And tell you how I really feel?

Did I bother you with my affection?

When I laid in your bed

Next to your sleeping body

Warm

Full of life

Did I forget to tell you that I cried for you last night?

Stale tears, losing their salty flavour

As they wet my pillow

Draining my soul of all reasons for existence

Did I tell you that I dreamt about you again?

A lost spirit that wanders through my coma

Like an empty continence to a closed mind

Did I forget?

I’m sorry

Softly as a gentle breeze,
Love crept into my heart
Crept so softly I did not notice

Until we came to part
'Twas then that love so suddenly
Grew fangs

And claws

And without warning
Clamped around my heart and left
Me bleeding and in mourning.

So shocked was I

By the attack,
That I did not beg you stay
And, frowning at my silence,
You turned and walked away.

I never knew, until you left,
How much you'd meant to me
And now you're gone, I know
Our love was truly meant to be.

Oh, how I’ve missed you, my old familiar friend.
I feel so serene when I’m within your grasp.

Empty and lost when you're not around.

How did we ever become so close?

I know you can’t live without me.
It seems I can’t live without you.

Or can I?
