TUMBLING DOWN

this music inspired the poem!!!

Tumbling Down

Tumbling down

Into the midnight's glow

You taught my body

Things it did not know.

We kissed until our lips

Grew tired and numb

And smiled out loud

And wondered what we'd done.

In blankets warm

And fireplace paradise

We held onto each other

With our eyes.

And fingers clasped

And arms and legs entwined

We drowned in new love's bliss

Like vintage wine.

As winter wind sang softly

Round the trees

We hummed along

Like starving honey bees.

And all the while

The snow piled up outside

And true love found

It had no place to hide.

We laughed and loved

Till night became tomorrow

And joy replaced our long-held-onto

Sorrow.

Tumbling down

In bed of rumpled sheets

We found the hidden void

Where wholeness meets.

And wrapped ourselves

In warmth that thwarts the cold

Two lonely broken hearts

Became one soul.

THERE'S NOTHING

There's Nothing



There's nothing as wonderful
As a smile on the face
Of someone who loves you

Nothing as glorious
As love shining in the eyes
Of someone who loves you

There's nothing as delicious
As the loving that lives in the passion
Of someone who loves you

Nothing as inspiring
As the joy that lifts up in the praise
Of someone who loves you

Nothing so dark
As the spark that goes out in the heart
Of someone who loves you

There's nothing as low
As the grief that you'll know in the loss
Of someone who loves you

When every full room
Becomes full of the gloom when it's emptied
Of someone who loved you.

 Nothing by Kevin Montgomery, one of the saddest, most beautiful
 songs I've ever heard..................

ALIEN EYES

Start the music now................join in the cosmic dance.

Alien Eyes

Dancing after midnight, dreaming

With eyes as black as coals

Floating off the dew dropped meadows

With sadness in our souls.

Silver vessels watching us

As we begin our dance

We'd journeyed long looking for solace

To seek our second chance.

The darkened space, a hungry mouth

That swallows by degrees

We left the galaxies behind

That would not hear our pleas.

On angel's wings we do not fly

Nor walk the way of men

We dance step like the evening breeze

That's the way it's always been.

Music from the Universe

Fills our inhuman hearts

We long to join the symphony

But we are shunned apart.

But dance me now, my shadow lover

Dance me to the dawn

For night will end and with the morning

In silence we'll be gone.

Celestial beings love the earth

Like earthlings love the sky

But they will never know this freedom

Until the day they die.

We dance in light, we live in night

In joyous sweet despair

We watch them as they walk below us

And they never know we're there.

Our slender hands now joined together

We dance around the moon

And sigh to leave this place of beauty

For we'll be flying soon.

The earthlings do not often treasure

And rarely recognize

The wonder of this world we covet

With our dark alien eyes.

We love this world, we love this sky

That they barely give a glance

But tonight it's ours and we are happy

Tonight we come to dance.

GREATER THAN THE LAST

Greater Than The Last 

     

Pain.......

Intangible but nonetheless...

Real

Like nothing else in this life

It blots out the joy like a cloud

The sky

Darkens on a sweet summer morning

Thick and full and stifling

Like heat from a thousand ovens

And cold like the loss of a coat

In the snow.

Pain.........

Enveloping, grasping, tightening

Smothering

Death

That does not die

But only

Hurts

And goes on and on without mercy

Until the next heartbreak

Comes

When you are not looking

And when you have

Un-clenched your hands and sighed

In relief.

It's then........

That the devil in the corner

Of your eye stands front and center

Punches you senseless

And pulls the barely beating heart

From your breast

And steps on it......

And every pain that comes

In this life...............

Is greater than the last.

THE REALM OF SLEEP

 The Realm of Sleep





Walking in the darkness
Drowning in the deep
I see the things I cannot see
Outside the realm of sleep.

I see the dread and deadly things
The strangers in the night
I see the ugly, monstrous things
That dawn keeps out of sight.

I feel the ancient yearning for
The knowledge I don’t know
And reach for dangers in the dark
That mystify my soul.

And yet the urge to wander on
Keeps me from drawing back
Exploring continents unknown
And swimming through the black.

I walk a warrior in my heart
My step, unheard and light
I bound to mountain top and sea
A creature of the night.

In that dream world, I feel no fear
I feel no self disdain
I master every challenge there
And dance upon the rain.

Not every sleep will take me there
Those visits seldom come
But when they do, I hurry in
Like a lost child going home.
