Time flies
doves cry.
History repeats
hearts beat.
Moon glows
rivers flow.
History repeats
souls meet.
Magic enthralls
lovers fall.
History repeats
hearts beat.
Love reigns
heartache, pain.
History repeats
souls meet.
Doves fly
time cries.
History repeats
hearts beat.

Well, you're so stoned cold
oh so stoned cold, 
the birds they fly around you
searching for a sunny day,
you start to breathe 
and you go to speak, 
and then they begin to fly 
away,
you're so stoned cold
while I treat you like gold, 
oh so stoned cold
and it's getting old.

Well, you're so stoned cold
oh so stoned cold,
I reach my hand out
to touch your skin,
nothing do you see
as you peer through me,
you stand still in time
frozen,
you're so stoned cold
and you just don't know,
oh so stoned cold
just thought I'd tell you so.

It took a love she thought was true to set her spirit free.
She gave herself most willingly and only he did see.
With openness and daring, she flew into his arms.
More than all her dreams could see, he wooed her with his charms.

Never had she felt such peace nor warmth of loving’s fire.
They sealed their bond and pledged their oath for all that they desired.
The thunderbolts were sounding as they joined to seal their fate;
two loving hearts becoming one; for each soul a mate.

Enveloped by euphoric bliss and lost to love’s embrace;
blinded by resigning faith to tears upon his face...
as slowly he did turn to go without a reason why.
What had changed to make this so and why now did he cry?

Her sorrow overtook her, as she wept with disbelief.
If they had shared a life-time...this too would be too brief.
At first she held close to the hope that one day he’d return.
Her mind filled with thoughts of him and so for love did yearn.

Consumed by grief, her spirit died and left an empty shell.
She closed herself to all who neared and lived a living hell.
Her heart no longer knew of love for others or for self;
and slowly she did turn to stone and stand outside herself.

They say if you love somebody
Set them free and they shall return
For if they are yours, it's forever
If not, then your love will be spurned
How lucky are those who can let go
What a shame for those who cannot
For love cannot be captured and caged
For that is not love they have caught
So if you indeed love somebody
Set them free to fly back to you
And treasure the love of their spirit
And know that their heart is true

One of flesh and one of stone,
In the forest all alone.
One to loose and one to keep,
In the woodland still and deep.

Lessons, wise, are there to find,
Seek ever with a questing mind.
If you search then you might see
Answers that can set one free.

See how stone is quiet, still?
Sit silently and then this will
Open up your heart and mind,
Secrets of yourself to find.

See the flesh, how it lets go?
Letting loose, so all may grow.
Simple, yet, some seem to find
It hard to let go any time.

Lessons learned are sometimes lost.
To human kind what is the cost
Of looking not within the self?
Inside there's such a store of wealth!

Remember this, for it is true,
The knowledge is inside of you.
If you listen, you might find
Answers of a different kind.

Deep in the tranquil forest heart
Noble she stands under the wooded glade
Light filters though the leafy canopy
Shining down onto her sculptured face
Standing 'neath a moment just passed
A reflection of her for all of time
With outstretched hand let releases
And casts free the wings of peace
Sweet maiden of Loegria I call to thee
A purer beauty I have never known
Together we stand bathed in light
The light of the new day washes over us
Hesitantly we kiss, our lips join
While I gently caress thy slender form
Her fleeting touch arouses a fire within
A passion is unleashed inside us
Bathed in the light and the warmth
A deep and lasting love is forged
Fleuretty©

Paired and perching
On two outstretched hands,
One of flesh and
One of stone.
Resting from life
And frozen in cement,
Twins...
In a captured moment
Of admiration
For one another.
Ah! To hold that flight
For eternity,
The other,
Wanting
Eternity.
The gentile fingertips
Release a push
In the winds that blow.
All is quiet in the
Spread of a wing.
Anticipation that the scene
Will indeed change
One will keep its bird
In cold and pretty hands
The other sets hers free
Hoping life will visit again.

Cast down your eyes
an angel dances within
the morning shadows
The earth breaths a soft wispy sigh,
like a mist rising from ocean- blue depths,
It stretches, gathering towards the sky.
Each morning dance
swirls light and shadow into mist
until golden sun rays prance to
welcome the dawning day.
Her heavenly smile entices
as nature responds.
Shrouded under foliage
beneath the tender leaves,
Sweetly birds begin to sing
a song filled with bittersweet harmonies.
A moment in time , frozen.
Forever she dwells dancing in the mist
to the song of the morning bird.

From the stars
As people
Dance on the moon
In couples
Of one
Inside stone molds
Wanting to touch just once
But forever encaged
Witnessing
A torture of souls
Tears fall
From the sun
As people walk too close
Scorched from the heat
Turning to stone
Pretty Barbie
How pretty are you now?
Pile of rubble
Of which you always existed
Tears fall
From my eyes
As I ask the stars
And the sun
"Was it worth it?
To dance just once
With that whom filled your dreams?"
What is life
Without love?
But what use is love
Without life?
The dove cried with the sun
Pleading
To keep my feet on the ground
And not dare too close
To the forbidden fruit
That my heart longs for
But must be ignored
And that's okay
I'll let my heart cry its tears
Of betrayal
Scream into empty walls
Of want
And deprive my heart
Of need
But I would just like to know
Pile of stone
My Barbie doll
Was it worth it?

What has been done is done
Hidden by the shade of the sun
As it shines upon the present time
The past is cast in stone of lime
You cannot change what has gone before
Nor can you be certain what lies in store
Live in the light for all its worth
A life full of wonderment and mirth
Remember the past so that you may learn
For the events that occurred may return
But do not live there in the shade
For it will cause your light to fade
It robs you of your life to live
Taking away with nothing to give
Step from the shadows into the light
Embrace the life that is your right

The statue doth stand
Upon its' marble base
Thoughtful is her look
Strong and full of grace
In the coolness of the woods
Arises the morning mist
The dampness of the forest floor
By the morning light is kissed
Away the dove doth fly
With purity and light
Seeks out the sun
As it takes to flight
As the sunlight glows softly
Upon the lady fair
Shades of autumn leaves
And her golden hair
This lady full of charm
Her love she doth share
Reaches for all that's pure
To those for whom she cares
Happiness fills her heart
For a love that's fair
Lending and helping hand
The kindness she has there
Freeing the tether dove
Watches it take flight
Knowing how the freedom feels
Knowing this right
As the sun caresses her hair
A new day begins to rise
With happiness in her heart
Away the dove doth fly

Gentle mist blankets the silent, serene lake,
ripples of shadows dance, morosely in the wake,
mourning for anguished dove, and his grieving soul mate.
Ancient mother, cleaved in half, watches protectively over,
as dawn awakens between sorrowful dove, and his ethereal lover,
her bittersweet tears rain down, reflected as morning dew on the clover.
Quintessence twin souls wrenched unfairly apart,
she a lonely woman by day, he a broken dove at dusk's start,
only brief glimpses stolen, yet infinitely joined in heart.
Wings flutter a melancholy breeze to caress her vibrant face,
dove's precious gift to her deep sorrow, inside this mystical place,
majestic statuette weeps openly, in elegant grace.
The woman's tormented eyes, ride the shadows a-fore his flight,
shattered dove seeks high thermals, singing achingly for the night,
until then his shredded soul, will keep her beauty in sight.

Love touches her
her world is full
yet she yearns
and desires
and hungers
to keep his love close always
all the while knowing
that it  must be set free.
Her heart is full
and wisdom is her guide.
she knows not why she loves
 she only knows that she does
deeply
 and with her whole heart
through many a trial and
much error
she knows the best way
  is to set her love free
so on the wings of a dove
her prayer for her love
 is sent to the winds
not knowing if it is the end
only trusting and hoping
in eternal love

If i let you go
  set you free
  I fear you wont
  come back to me..
  I wonder of my inclination
  to thwart this feeling
  of trepidation..
  If i let you go
  into the night..
  and stand here alone
  heart full of fright...
  I wonder what the hell
  i could be thinking,
  to let you leave
  this heart that's sinking
  fast and furious
  my thoughts they wander...
  how shall i cope?
  on this i ponder...
  If i let you go
  my dearest one
  will you think me brave?
  after you've gone?
  I guess I must trust
  in divine intervention
  pack up my heart
  in a stone of protection..
  roll up my sleeves
  brush the tears away
  straighten my spine..
  till your return one day...
  If i let you fly
  on winged flight...
  remember the sacrifice
  i made this night...
  to let you go
  to set you free
  don't think me noble
  i did this ..
  for me.

With the setting of the sun at days end, she sets in for her rest
Stoic, proud, upright, beautiful, chaste and statuesque
Motionless she stands as a beacon to the forest
And a single dove has come to rest as her companion and guide
As strong as the tall trees that surround her, with the wisdom of age
Draped in the shadows of darkness she leans upon a pillar to brace
For the magic and promise of life within the heart of her grace
Deathlike in appearance, silently she nourishes all things living
With dewdrops she caresses new seeds upon the soil
Anointed by moonlight, prepared for the sun
Fragrant wild flowers open wide to partake
In the kiss of her wetness, her life giving rain
Where under the stars life is born without pain
Before the sun rises, a murmur echoes through the trees
And is carried on the soft breeze that signals a new day
The sun rays filter through the trees on the breeze
Giving life to the stone maiden who watched over these
Basking in the coverlet of mist that separates night and day
She steps from her mantle to inspect the evenings power
Stoic, proud, upright, beautiful and chaste
The statuesque woman and her companion make haste
To busy themselves in the blessings of the day
Free spirited and peaceful her dove fly's away
To return to her steadfast at the end of day
Once again her companion and guide to the promise
Eyewitness to the magic within the realms of her grace

All she said was "haven't I been here before"
As she stood looking out of deceptions door
Life for her was not as it was for others it seems
Because she had always been a prisoner of her dreams
With each new hurt or pain that she was subjected
A wall of protection around her she erected
But to many times had she suffered at others hands
Till a false image of herself in her place now stands
She stopped feeling with her heart and used her mind
But love was an understanding her thoughts could not find
Her soul no longer knew who she was meant to be
And thinking with her heart made emotions harder to see
She had became a living statute, as cold as any rock or stone
And outside of herself was the only place she was not alone
But kind hearts warm with kindness and in its heat the cold ends
And all she has to do is trust to fly free with the help of her friends
