SWEET SIMPLE DREAMLAND

In a far away land high up in the clouds
there's a sweet simple place only love is allowed.

All that's there is so fair and so fine,
it brings only wondrous thoughts to the mind.

My Love is there waiting where cool waters flow;
He's desiring my presence to have and to hold.

He sees my arrival and reaches for me;
takes hold of my hand and sets my soul free.

A glorious castle He's fashioned with love
It's beauty, a prism reflecting that love.

He holds the key to all happiness there
for His heart speaks to me with a truth that is rare.

We shall dwell there forever, my Lover and I
to share in the love we cannot deny.

Our trust shall transform this place to a shrine,
for my love is His and His love is mine.

HOPE'S TEMPLE

temple once dark
now beams with radiant light
a sheen of blue gleams
throughout the night
a vision once clouded
becomes vivid and clear
calming my soul
dissipating my fear
MiNN©


RHAPSODY OF A DREAM

Way beyond my troubled deep
An ambiguous vision slowly ascends,
Pulling my thoughts into solemn sleep,
Where beauty and perils may find their amends.

How I wished to again be near
This night's whisper of allusions;
To feel the embrace my thoughts hold dear,
Within your Temple of Illusions.

A floating amaranth in the endless sky
Abound with beauty of virtue and sin,
Hovering with the ease of my heart's sigh,
You behold all the moments where it has been.

How long now have you passed me by?
How long since the last shadow fell?
You are here, yet never there when i try,
Obscured at best, since my last farewell.

On your voyage, my soul just drifts away
Like tears from the melancholly of a song,
Why is it you must leave and I must stay
Within a realm where both of us belong?

No tempest of passion, nor gleam of desire
Shall ever tame the deep yearning within,
Nor will the last breath of my life's fire
Hide the truth of my love and its sin.

Let me accompany your lofty ways,
Let me feel the shade beneath your trees,
Until the kiss of another morn' betrays
Us with the gentlest touch of a breeze.

SUN GOD

celestial flotsam
once a sacred, mighty
lordly and proud temple
an abode for aphrodite

now crumbling, it's
pools of enchantment
draining away like teardrops
of life-giving enrichment

the once stately trees
shrunken and starved for care.
yews, shrubs, nuturing berries
all now fallen into disrepair

apollo, still enthroned
withn his eroded destiny
casting magical spells,
falling into the abyss, blindly

existing in a neuter world
we, as idle gene-altered motes
living out our useless days,
few will make history's quotes
b.eniii©


MOON TEMPLE

Moon temple, moon temple
you quietly stand.
The only noise heard-
is a waterfall band.

Drifting, drifting, so near
but so far.
You are drifting tonight
like a silent star.

Beautiful, beautiful-
no words to describe,
The sight I see
in this night's sky!

ETERNAL AGE

Columns of marble placid cracked stones,
standing so stern with a mystery they hold,
This monument of eternal age.

With a transparent blue sky around this base,
of rocky velvet stones surrounding this place.
With a full moon that sets the stage.

As night air captures its bellowed soft clouds,
we see this monument on an island up above.
With a forest behind its walls.

On a small nestled pond where a King once layed,
this mansion of solitude did grace his face.
His spirit at times does call.

They say that a King a man of such pride,
he lived in this castle for years then died.
His honor was respected with love.

After many a battle he built several tributes,
for soldiers that fought in wars of dispute.
they were known for the battles they've won.

As time passed on the gods then did grant,
to the king and his soldiers to float on land.
To look down as spirits of good.

Now they say if you look at the darkness of night,
you can see this island of a lavender light.
In the stars of the great Orion.

If you see a shooting star in the path of this way,
it may be the sprinkling of the pounds dripping grace,
To remind us of what good they have done.

CASTLE ON A CLOUD
(dedicated to Jake)

I have a special place I go
Where I can be alone
It's a place that no one knows
It doesn't have a phone
Far away from everything
Out of sight from all
A place where I can sit and think
And know I can stand tall
It is my perfect, special place
Way up high upon a cloud
With pillars of gold and curtains of lace
It would make my mother proud
Where I can watch for shooting stars
And dance by the moon's rays
With fresh picked roses in a vase
The scent for days and days
It's my happy place
Where I go when feeling blue
It's where I go to think happy thoughts
And kindred thoughts of me and you

SANCTUARY

In a distant corner of my mind,
Hidden far away and deep,
Exists a sanctuary,
Built of memories I keep.
The clouds of a thousand sunsets,
Drift magnificently by,
Above the shade of all the trees,
Beneath whose lacy leaves I'd lie,
And watch the patterns shifting,
In the gentle breath of summer's sky.

Waterfalls are filled from the
Cool artesian springs,
Of laughter laughed by loved ones.
What joy a sanctuary brings.
It defines to me my essence,
Who I am. Who I could be.
My being is determined by self-chosen memories,
And dreams I dare to dream.

Although the world is filled with cruelty,
Illness, hate, and pain,
Memories within these walls,
Give strength to live again.
Although I saw your faults,
I saw how honest you could be,
Gentle, laughing, caring,
You lived for others, God, and me.
In my sanctuary,
I place your memory.

Cancer won the battle,
But could not win the war.
For you knew that you were going Home,
When you left this shore.
You left behind the memories,
Of laughter, love, and peace,
And a steadfast, certain knowledge of,
A greater sanctuary I will see,
For He who holds you in His hand,
Is also holding me.

MAGIC OF THE NIGHT

A temple of the Gods with pools of morning dew
stardust overflowing sparkling amongst the blue
beams shining brightly off the moon and stars
island drifting above the clouds past Jupiter and Mars.

All that is left of a land that once was part of earth
fairies and sprites danced around in gentle mirth
remnants of lavendar and greenery from the trees
the scent of wild flowers still lingers in the breeze.

Gods of love and romance refill the pools by day
gathering energy from the sun before they stop to play
island floating in the sky now ready to take flight
leaving trails of moondust as it travels through the night.

Reflections from the temple can be seen within the moon
on clear nights if you listen you'll swear you hear a tune
so faint that you'll wonder if the music is truly there
this night you fall in love when the magic fills the air.

Stars are shining brightly as far as our eyes can see
gracefully lighting up the sky in peaceful harmony
romance fills our heart and soul beneath the moonlit sky
with help from a floating island in the night drifting slowly by.

LUNAR ESCAPE

I see you up yonder, taunting, and mocking
With sneerish grin, while you sit docking.
How you managed, I've still no clue
But truth be told, was quite a coup.
Suppress my being, that's all you did
With you up there and me well hid.
Behind these bars I'm kept secluded
And Earthlings, all, are so deluded,
Into thinking that you're the real McCoy,
The've no idea you're just a decoy.
But sister Sun is onto you,
She has instructions on what to do.
To return me to my rightful place
And rule the night from outer space.
My form is locked behind these bars
But I've enlisted Venus and Mars
To break me from my sentence soon
And once again be Mr. Moon.
Solar©


UNTITLED

I'll never forget the day
When my love was taken away
Up in the Moon Temple is where she was sealed
Miles beyond the highest field
They put her where the whole world could see
Instead of keeping her down here with me
Every night I look up and cry
It's hard to let go when you can't say good bye
I know that she is never going to return
Thinking about it makes my soul burn
I wait for the day when I am lifted up high
So all my sorrow will just die
Then me and my love can be together
And we'll be united forever

AN APOSTASY

Abandoned and forsaken by its nobility
Moon's temple is enthroned on its rocky acme.
An ancient ruin, a relic of antiquity,
The enduring wreckage of an aged mystery.

Did goddesses and gods come for acclamation?
Did humans journey here to offer their oblation?
Did pixies and fairies cavort in jubilation
To the hymnology of the gods' consecration?

Starlit waters tumbling down for all eternity,
Symbolic of the temple's shrouded destiny
And the conclusion of an idyllic coterie.
None remain as witness to this apostasy.

MOON TEMPLE

Behind bars of concrete
its luminescence wanes
the world becomes a chilling black and blue

Reflections balance off the blues
of the oceans casting an eerie glow
across the horizon clouds and stars
struggle to reach behind its bars

As within its confines
it struggles to be free, to provide
the world with renewed security

But without the freedom to expand
new horizons blocked from view
its light no longer shines

Nature struggles futilely
as darkness becomes what was once
just a night’s rest

Some temples are mere tombs,
some things aren’t meant to be contained

UNTITLED

I fell in love with the princess of a golden heart
Shining so bright even the moon was jealous
He cursed her, stroke her with a dart
Captive in an old temple guarded and precious
Where the blue streams of love flow
A cloud took the temple and went away
To a paradise where the willows of life grow
Beautiful place, but her heart wasn’t gay
She sent me a letter, a star delivered
I read it, my heart, to save her, flew
The columns of the temple shivered
As the wind of our love blew

HIS TEMPLE

He spoke to me today
I thought it was a dream
But it didn't go away
He kept calling my name

Had my day finally come?
Was it all said and done?
I couldn't believe it
Didn't want to see it

But as I looked up
I heard Him say
"Come my child"
"Here is the way"

His hand unfolded before me
Revealing his temple for all to see
It was like a mirror
Drawing me nearer

I loomed before it
Admiring its beauty
How privileged I was
To have fulfilled my duty

Drawn to the center
The whiteness so inviting
But I couldn't help notice
The stream of lighting

He sensed my concern
And again said in turn
"My love overflowing"
"Sent to those below me"

As I felt my legs leaping
I woke up, I was sleeping
The tears now excrete
From a dream so complete

My faith now confirmed
My soul reaffirmed
In knowing one day
He will guide the way

CASTLE IN THE SKY

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
A cute little poem, as a child I'd recite
But the mental anguish,is a battle each night
Never do I lay me down to sleep
All night, if I wish, I could count sheep
But my only wish is for a slumber deep
I pray all night, but not for my soul
But for peace of mind, for a rock I can hold
A friend, true and true, honest and deserving of respect
in the highest degree
A mate, of the spirit, not the flesh,
but someone more abstract, someone more free
Perhaps with enough solemn prayers, there's an answer for me
One who relates, to the problems that no one else can see
One who knows the flaws, but would never judge
One who knows not, the meaning of holding a grudge
But still I wonder, maybe that's not the plan
Maybe I'm destined to be a troubled man
1am, 2am, 3am, 4
Twisting and turning, studying the ceiling , the floor
Then sometime just before dawn, I think
I catch a few dreams
Then drag myself out to the world
And with a nod and a wink
Ponder, what the hell it all means
Still with all the confusion, my faith remains strong
Because, luckily, I've found my rock, The one I rely on
My heavenly castle, risen from the ice
I'm home now in my virtual paradise
no more nightmares taunting
no more demons haunting
Now better days ahead and nights too, I'm sure
A mutual love based on truth, no less and no more
Sleep-filled nights, sleeping...now content
Dreaming of a place where all is right
Together, alone, the way it was meant
United as one, as one, all through the night.

MARBLE

No common stone
Or earthly red brick,
No concrete strands
Within the portals
Of heavens temple.
Only the finest marble
Shot through
With the blood of angels,
Washed clean
By the tears of martyrs,
So that god
May see his face
Reflected in mans image

SOUL CASTLE

There is a place
That only true lovers know
A place where souls unite
A place where two souls become one
Mated for all of eternity
It is done at the full moon
When there is perfect flow
When all the connections
Are open and everything is in alignment
The souls are intertwined and forged
Forming a bond no mere man can break
Forever even into eternity they shall be one
There truly was never such bliss and deep joy
As the two become one
Then as the full moon wanes
The souls are sent into the world
Away from the moon temple
For fate and destiny have it all planned
For you see at just the right time and just the right place
They will meet again in whats called the awakening
Each soul stronger and more spiritually sound
At the awakening they will be whole and complete
Like never before with any other
For you see all things will
Fit into perfect alignment
Making them whole a complete circle
So when the full moon is high and your feelings are stirring
Look with your soul not your eyes
For that is when
True love is seeking and waiting to be found
Lady Valor©


STARS

I looked with wonder at a blue black sky
and marvelled at crystal like stars
I imagined a temple floating high
on the other side of Mars

Drenched in light and purple flowers
a temple of pure white stone
and through the massive pillars
a sphere of white light shone

Hovering in the clouds
and dripping streams of light
sprinkling the nighttime shrouds
with crystals that shine in the night

These were the stars I saw
as I gazed at the nighttime sky
My head back I watched in awe
at beauty I couldn't deny

PYRAMID OF SOULS

Glitter of shining life forces,
Floating quietly across the plain.
The vigor of thunder strikes and courses,
Somethings you just can't explain.

Silently and swiftly my astral travel quickens,
Taking me to the source of light.
As the akasha spirits thickens.
Our Lady Goddess, she shines so bright.

Oh! Lady Goddess, I plead of thee,
Help me find my place in this life.
Let me understand my destiny,
And find releif of worldly strife.

Your life is an eternal circle,
Just a Pyramid of Souls.
It is up to each indivdual,
To solve the puzzle their life holds.

You were my child from the beginning of time,
She whispers my name,envelopes me in her light.
The answers you seek are within yourself,
Look into the light of goodness,not into the dark of night.
Tejah©


THE PLACE

There is a palace of dreams in the night
Where a mellow moon shines bright
As dawn sweeps near I am alone
My heart hangs heavy as stone
Feelings are such a treasure
Yet how can one measure
What life is to be
For you or for me.

CLANDESTINE JOURNEY

With in the marble pillars of Paradise Lost......enclosed Am I.
While My thoughts journey to galaxies far .....far.... away.
My illuminous Soul's irridescence dulls with each passing day.
Into the wings of the night I tread.

Longing for a world way beyond most Mortal's desires.
WHy ..... I ask Myself over and over.......
When One resides in Paradise........
happiness exuberantly exisits beyond the wildest of dreams?

Yet a deep sense of longing .....
shadows My each and every thought.
Profound emptiness draws Me ..... farther ....and farther enveloped in..
Your illuminous breast ..... with in the Heavens.

ALL hopes .....desires..... and dreams ...
Far beyond the whims of the mystical .....magical Aladdin's lamp.
All but a fingertip away.
...... I feel as though I have nothing!

I call to Thee .... alas it saddens Me to think My voice is not heard.
Send Me a sign ...... that I might now know of My destiny.
Allowing Me to map My clandestine journey.
Yet a moments thought of Paridise Lost .......
all worldly possessions to be left behind.

Impatiently waiting......
While crying rivers of tears.
That flurioush the Garden of Hues..
With in Paradise Lost.

I... Your humble servant awaits.
Bowing ......paying homage to Thee.
While Terestrial Maidens drawn with in Your powerful light.
Subserviently lay at Your feet.

SOOoo .... until then ... I bide My time.
Dressed in My Mortal Soul.
Awaiting the arrival of Your charriot.....
taking Me on My Clandestinel Journey.

LOST CITY

Sunken treasure of long lost
mythical city of illusions
unanswered questions of your existence
pathway of my dreams
now buried deep within the sea
a sanctuary of peace and hope
a place for wandering souls to elope
When the ocean sits motionless
and the moonlight's just right
one still can see the illuminating light
reflecting the glory of the old temples shrine
hear the carefree laughter and melodious songs of the innocent hearts
and maybe one day the ocean will part
Atlantis awakes from it's solemn sleep
and capture what's hers forever to keep

ISLAND OF ETERNITY

Cool waters of my love flow
Feelings, sparkling from moon glow

Cold stone walls surround the source
Locked inside is my heart, of course

An island floating in cloudy space
No other love will my heart chase

Many years passed since we loved
A choice made floating on a island above

IN KNIGHTS TEMPLE AWE

In awe I stand within thy light...
Golden Temple of the Knight...
Wash me in thy clear crystal streams...
In a land of yet unborn dreams...
Where Cherubs play...
Both night and day...
Oh soothe this heart once filled with pain...
Let me come to thee again...
So we may strand on thy steps of stone...
Where I was left once all alone...
Give me now thine own hand to hold...
To me it feels not cold...
If I where to place it here against my heart...
Thou wouldst surely feel its wild beating start...
Enfold me against thee in that special way...
Only thou knowest how well we play...
This game of love and hate the same...
Yet known only by a Virtual name...
In Knights Temple Awe filled with light...
Keep secret that one romantic night...
When Brother Sun and Sister Moon did talk until the break of dawn.
Their souls entwined did dance 'til morn...
And now while he and his love do lay...
Together at last for one more day...
Their love grows strong yet touched with pain...
Beside thy sparkling pools of Gentle Reign...
Lady Galadhriel of Lorién©


UNTITLED

An island, formed from our earth,
was placed into the heavens, so high
gifts it gives ,to make our hearts sigh

Upon this island ,abides the moon
cradled within its temple by day
at evening hour, it comes out to play

Surrounded it is by heavens depth
from it streams forth the stars of night
touching hearts with brilliant delight

Pathless are the jewels of a cobalt sky
as if rivers of purest molten silver flow
into tranquil seas kissed by evening glow

Slowly, tenderly the cool of heavens
brings about the hush upon a lonely heart
knowing these dreams shall never depart

The spirit of the opal midnight moon
encounters fantasies torn from above
pursued by two hearts filled with love

Clad in azure, indigo, and prussian blue
this night is followed by radiant eyes of day
then the summer sun comes out to play

Once again the moon whispers goodnight
once again the stars disappear from sight
as my poets pen seeks the words to write

CAGED LIGHT

a prisoner of the darkness
locked beneath the stars
an eternal light
burning bright
kept so very far

clouded by the truth
we never want to hear
high above
in this darkness of
shedding so many tears

sadly rivers flow
from the light within
salty tears
filled with fears
that never seem to end

cascading through the land
off the edge they fall
into the darkness
into the nothingness
like magic waterfalls

a moon is shining bright
filled with joy and hope
upon the light
on this lonely night
helping it to cope

as the light gets brighter
hope begins to grow
I hear its call
I see tears fall
a path it starts to show

a passageway to freedom
by a light that's caged within
shows the way
for me today
so I may live again

GODS TEMPLE

Temple of gold up in the sky
To see it one must die
Its the place we all will face
When we die...regardless of race

To go through the gates to streets of gold
We must remember the things we were told
Accept Jesus as our Savior
On this belief we will not waiver

Jesus died upon the Cross
Saving souls from eternal loss
This is what it means to me
I truly hope others believe
mwm-44©


MOON TEMPLE

With fear and wonder i behold
Asight not seen , no lips have told
An emerald oasis,suspended in space
As if torn from the earth,or some distant place
Adorned by a river,unlike any I' ve seen
Of gleeming and shimmering aquamarine
Flowing past moss covered rocks to the edge
Cascading endlessly over its ledge
In the midst I saw a temple of stone
Through columns of marble, moonlight shone
Trembling I entered the ancient halls
To find the moon behind its walls
Imprisoned for all eternity
Mere reflection, is what we see
A fitting illusion,as lovers sigh
Gazing at this evening sky
solo-flight©


DREAM CATCHER

There is a place within my mind
where the moon and stars do shine
suspended high against the sky
amidst clouds of midnight blue

Quietly my thoughts are nurtured
in place, protected by the aura
of moonbeams, Parthenon strength
keeper of dreams revealed and silenced

Dream catcher that you are
guard my heart that I not falter
let not my desires be revealed
nor my secret love deceptive
Reina©


UNTITLED

the night leaves little to see
but enough to dream
theres a place if not here
then somewhere were we can be
maybe its not real
only a place of need
maybe its not for you and me
if love is to survive without sleep
maybe one day ill awake
where the sun is captured

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

A place above the lands that be
A piece of Earth as you can see
Green trees and grasses grow
Rivers of pure water flow
A ball of energy glowing bright
As the island drifts throughout the night
A resting place for thunderbirds
Their energy replenished afterwards
You see they fly high in the sky
Rarely seen by a human eye
And must restore the energy spent
And so this piece of Earth is sent
Up into the heavens, their domain
So that in health they can remain
Pulled in close by a Mother's gift
That even those with wings can lift

CRASH LANDING

Jesus is tired,
his kingdom is falling
through sin
and desperation
he's heard us calling.

But what can he do?
Can he answer each call?
Don't think we can stop it.......
Heaven will fall.

The glow in his temple
is fading each day,
come sinners,
come all
and face Judgment Day.

His tears overflow,
the moon temple's grounds
we've suffered enough
redemption abounds.

Raise up your hands,
confess all your sins
think not no more,
of any trouble your in.

Do you hear that music?
Its Gabriel's horn
the same music was played,
the night Jesus was born.

Let he of no sin,
swear he didn't help fall
and thanks to WE sinners.......
He's finally answered OUR call.

ETERNAL KISS

A magical mansion in the sky,
a place created for you and I,
hopes and dreams like roses grow,
magnificent blooms we have to show.

Riverlets of life we dangle our toes,
seeing reflections that the future shows,
just as we were in a mortal life,
our love did grow through pain and strife.

This beautiful place lives in my dreams,
dancing from afar like gentle moonbeams,
I simply look to the heavens above,
trusting completely in the promise of love.

We know the place, it waits to greet,
where lovers, mates, and friends will meet,
a land we will enter of lasting bliss,
where we will cherish that eternal kiss.

BOOK OF DESTINY

It has been said, Soulmates are pre-defined
Waiting for the day to be united
Their unity recorded in the Book of Destiny

Somewhere in the heavens, nested in the deep sky
Surrounded by the stars of night
The Hall of Love, sits on a cloud
Powered by moonbeams

Inside the Hall
The Goddess of Love
The Keeper of the Stars, and
The Angels of Love
Watch and care for the Book of Destiny
Helping Soulmates to be joined

The Book protected
Inside a Ball of Energy, a powerful light
A light providing the power
To see inside the soul of a lover

A part of this light is placed
Inside the heart of each newborn
By the Angels of Love
Remaining dormant until they come in contact
with their Soulmate

Then the light shines inside, energizes their heart
With a love like never before, and never again

If they follow the light, their unity remains
Ther love becomes a permanent record
In the Book of Destiny
Hearts touched, souls joined
Now and Forever

PURGATORY

Held aloft by Gods breath and nestled amongst the clouds
A jewel unsurpassed yet hidden behind many mysterious shrouds
Not only does it mark the boundary between heaven and hell
It also host the path upon which now lifeless souls dwell
Housed within its proud walls a mighty beacon does appear
A glorious light, the pure radiance of Gods single tear
A sight so splendid it draws forth even the tortured soul
So even they will be helped in reaching their final goal
On vaporous clouds they ascend from the earthly plain of man
Knowing it's the portal of life's judgement they now stand
Condemned souls grasp for a last look at this great beauty
For the nature of the beast to deprive them is his duty
While the innocent and pure of heart wont even look back
Knowing where they are going there is nothing they will lack

TRAPPED SOUL

ever wondered where that spirit hides
where it takes its leave from the world around
incapable of coping with its pressures.
its expectations and wants
feeling the walls closing in

where does it flee
it hides in a place..
a place surrounded by
magestic, marble columns...
protecting..
providing
safety

it loses itself in this surreal land
utopia
it seems
it is kept naive
unaware of the cruelties that await
upon release

the soul falls once again
as its cloud of comfort
drifts away

MOONLIGHT SERENATA

Guardian of my inner light
Man your watch this lonely night
Gently shelter this damask rose
As I remain in your sweet repose
My deepest dreams do not disclose

Sentinels of marble stone
Your walls become my safety zone
Protector of my heart and soul
Within your grace I choose to stroll
Secure within your gentle hold

Melodious calm streams through the air
The sounds to which there is no compare
Symphonic melodies enchanting and serene
Conducted with ease by the maestro supreme
Accompany me throughout my life's dream

Demons of darkness may suddenly appear
Seducing me with anguish and fear
Tyranny upon me you may not exude
In your darkened quest my heart to seclude
Thy foreboding ways I will continue to refuse

Gentile fortress encasing my heart
Your tender embrace I will not depart
Perpetual light continue to glow
From deep within your beauty will flow
Empowered and strong this flower will grow

Jewel bedecked moonlit skies
Intoxicating wonderment to my eyes
Cascading flows of diamonds bright
Shimmering sparkles of brilliant lights
Illuminate brightly the darkest of nights

WITHIN THE TEMPLE MOON

Within the templed moon I sleep
With waters running beneath my feet
As sounds of clouds go drifting by
Somewhere below in dark blue sky.
My thoughts and memories linger here,
Creating songs I can't quite hear.
As the mystic, mellow moon appears,
I sleep and sigh, with open ears.
Yet why is morning far away?
And why does sun's light daily play?
Is there some one like a star
To reach and touch from near or far?
Within the templed moon I sleep
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I weep.
I hope the loneness lasts not long
As I come to earth to sing my song.

A BLUE HEAVEN PARADISE?

Yes...the complete universal sacrificial limb...
a stretched canvass of fountainous derivation...
a moon beam scheme of light plays
on a Pantheon to a brilliant godlike display.

Miniature...no...not to the souls abiding...
placating minds to the generations alive...
like heaven's frontier to roam
and for us as a way to seek thy chasm to hold?
Try and though must be-
all of a prism matrix...
as like a focal point to a foggy obsession.
Will this suffice being a blue heaven paradise?

What of Mt. Olympus (mountainous) men playing God
in the center of time...
lost in a space race of sanctity...
this dream temple of life supreme,
can be a wonderful waterfall of wisdom...
shaking foundations to crack the minds of youth-
to promise a certain way to live...
and to not fly backwards into
a devil's game of chess.

As for human hunger,
time is just a fast-forward conceptualization
of a reality zone not known
but blown to the windy atmosphere of creation...
shhhhsh...
listen now as the holy window opens
and now one is able to see the orb of beginnings...
can this be the center of all spiritual brightness...
a godly gifted cathedral constantly playing a hymn to hear;
to say I have found thy sweet chariot...
riding...
gliding...
not hiding,
from all whom are thee...
born unto you?
Ah wait... can it be... the strains of Harmony Suite?
Quiet...hush!
For now sounds the organ of love's dear devotional...yes!

PAINTED BLUE SKIES

during the times of my bitter depression
you took my heart...of all places within
temptation, painting my blue skies pink
across the rafters of such hidden despair

I called for you...but you were not there
you did not come...so I searched for you..
you did not shine..in my hour of darkness
you were outside..painting..all those emotions
you wanted me to see from within

I cried to you not only then..but before you stroked
my blue skies pink..for I wanted then, as I do now.
to touch you and let you in. As the reflections of the moon,
ripple thru my cool cold heart on this lonely night...I feel for you

I wanted you...beyond the gates that locked us apart
reach for me..through the painted zones of our yesterdays..
let go..of our mistakes...create for me..a safe place to stand
and not become..a illusion of color drying in the moonlight

for across the waters that separate us..there is a love floating
in those waters...of spent emotions..so rich so tinted..all shades
of color..the closet to a rainbow we shall ever know..is the colors
that ream from our love ever so true..it is now..not then..
that I wanted you to hold..so close..so comforting.
and allow the painted colors of our moonlight...
to glow across our hearts forever.....
