IS IT RAINING WHERE YOU ARE??

Is It Raining Where You Are?


Is it raining where you are, I wonder
Are those sky tears running down your panes
Leaving silver tracks on all the windows?
Are you standing there watching your breath
Fog up the glass as it thunders
And can you see my reflection in the flashes?
I can see yours
It's there beside mine on the window
Just a shadow, but you, in all your ghostly glory
You, as you were when you loved me
And me, as I was when I was loved
I see us still together every time it rains
But just for tonight, I'll not turn around
To see the empty space that fills this room
I'll trace the palm print on the window
Lay my hand inside it until it melts away in morning
And though I know better than to believe in memory
I'll pretend it's yours.

THE SMILING DAYS ARE SOON TO COME

The Smiling Days Are Soon to Come

How sad is life, even in it's beauty

To travel all alone

How dark are days, even in sunshine

To share a smile with no one......................

For every creature, no matter how low

Should somehow find it's mate

The universe is set up that way

Call it God or Fate

Every hand has it's perfect fit

Every mouth, it's kiss

Every heart has it's nestled home

And every soul, it's bliss.

And those that find that hand to hold

And those that taste that kiss

Their hearts will know the joy of life

For life is made for this

And if you don't, what then is life?

What joy will fill your seas?

Your lips will hunger for that kiss

Your mouth will fill with pleas

I used to walk a withered earth

Soul bound to loveless death

Until I saw your shining face

And my lungs filled up with breath

I used to cry in midnight's bed

Till tears soaked every cover

I used to search the world in vain

Looking for my lover

And then the light broke through the dark

And tears dried instantly

Your hand pushed back that thorny hedge

And you reached out to me

I cannot say I'm not afraid

For I've been afraid so long

To trust another searching soul

Who tomorrow may be gone

I haven't smiled in such a while

I haven't felt sweet joy

My eyes, downcast, have met no others

For fear, not being coy

But give me time and we may find

That our hearts have found their home

For my hungry heart is telling me

That the smiling days are soon to come.

DANGEROUS

DANGEROUS

COMING AT ME LIKE THE WIND

YOUR EYES BLOW ME AWAY LIKE STORM

BURN ME LIKE FIRE

DRENCH ME LIKE RAIN

TOUCH ME LIKE PAIN

COVER ME LIKE DARKNESS

I RUN IN CIRCLES PUPPET- LIKE

WITH WEAKENED FEET AND

HOPEFUL HEART

WAITING FOR EMBRACE AND TOUCH

OF YOUR TWO HANDS OUTSTRETCHED TO ME

APPARITION OR MAN, I DO NOT KNOW

I DO NOT KNOW NOR DO I CARE

MAD WITH LONGING, I WEEP FOR YOU

IN DUSTY ROOMS FULL OF GHOSTLY WISPS OF MUSIC

FROM PIANOS UPRIGHT AND UNTOUCHED

BY MORTAL FINGERS AND SUNLIGHT OF DAY

I ONLY KNOW I NEED YOU

AND THAT YOU ARE DANGEROUS TO ME

I ONLY KNOW THAT YOUR EYES ARE DEEP AND DARK

AND THAT, IF GIVEN THE CHANCE

I WILL FALL FOREVER IN THEIR DEPTHS

OBSESSED MAD CREATURE THAT I AM

FOREVER LOVING THE FALL

AND GIVING MYSELF

TO THE DANGER.
