Running With The Wolves

BEWARE!

This song is a magic song. If you listen at least three times
it becomes part of you and you're addicted to it.
sounds incredible with headphones.

Running With The Wolves

Running with the wolves
In forests dark as night
We wait to play and sleep all day
Keeping out of sight.

But when the wolf moon peeks it's head
Out behind the cloud
We run so fast and howl for joy
And we sing our songs loud.

The other humans run away
They do not understand
How wolf and woman can become friends
(But they're only mortal man.)

They do not know the way we feel
When the wildness in our blood
Begins to blaze up like a fire
A fire that feels so good.

We have to run, we have to howl
We have to set it free
My brother wolves, my sister wolves
(And none as wild as me.)

A wolf inside when I was a child
Not knowing what I was
Wanting so to just let go
And scream out just because.

But I kept my secrets locked inside
And did it well, it's true
Not knowing another with his wildness hidden
Was there till I met you.

And Still It Rains

AND STILL IT RAINS

     

    play together......
               

      

                                                     

And Still It Rains


Midnight

And it is raining
Again
The night is quiet, 
The streets are quiet
Except for 
The dew of Heaven
Except for the beating
Of my heart
And the sounds of my breathing.

I have been dreaming of you 
Again
Dreaming the forbidden
The passion and desire
That lives only in my dreams
Now.

I still feel your lips upon mine,
The sweetness I crave,
The mouth that claims me
As it's own
The mouth I give myself 
To.

I lick the taste of you
Off my fingers
Like chocolate
And honey
And my taste buds
Cry out in ecstasy.

But you're not really here
Are you?
You are in the realm of sleep
Where you await in lucid dreams
And fantasy.

So why do I
Hear you in the raindrops?
Feel you in the wind's caress?
Touch you in the flesh
When I close my eyes?

You are here
Aren't you?
I just can't see you
With my eyes open,
Only closed, only closed.

It's then I can love you
As you love me
Kiss you
As you kiss me
Touch you
As you touch me.

I need you
Like a garden
Needs rain
Like a desert
Needs a flood.

I am parched for you
My monsoon
I am hungry for you
My banquet
Thirsty for you
My hurricane.

Let me feel
Your waterfall
Drench me
In this midnight
Let me feel you
Fall into me
With every drop of rain.

For the rain is you
And the rain is me
Falling into one another
Like silver
Like gold
Like love.

Listen!
Do you hear that?
It is our hearts 
Communing
Calling out to one another
In the night..........
Beseeching and taunting
And teasing with promises.

Our hearts call
Unbidden by our minds
For our minds are afraid
And shy and inhibited 
By our schooling.

But our hearts know
No boundaries, no laws,
No teaching.....
Other than what they teach us
Themselves.

Our hearts
Cannot be tamed
Or imprisoned
Or contained in any way
Because they are wild 
And free.

And only they.......
Know how to access the realm
Where you and I meet
Know where the doors are........
The locks.....where the keys are hidden
And know how to turn them.

This is the secret
That very few know
But we know
Don't we?

And when it rains,
We run there happily
Like children who are innocent,
Yet wise
And we play in the rain
And we love with abandon
And joy.

And tonight, my love
We have met once again
We have revelled in desire
And bathed in bliss
Given ourselves to passion
And taken only 
What we could carry in our hands.

For though we are selfish
And we need more and more,
We know that longing for something
Only makes it sweeter,
Only makes it more cherished.

And having said that,
My heart is still hungry,
My mouth is still thirsty,
My arms empty and reaching
My body cries out for another hurricane
And still it rains.

Strangely Vulnerable

 Strangely Vulnerable


Always been a steel butterfly
A stem that bends, not breaks
I had to be a woman early
For all my siblings' sakes.

I sacrificed my childhood
Though it was truly not my choice
I had to grieve in silence
And pretend I had no voice.

While deep inside, I yearned for
A life to call my own
Someone to make me feel loved
Someone to feel like home.

And years went by in sadness
And no love showed it's face
I looked to find that treasure
And made for it a place.

The sadness made me stronger
The pain gave me resolve
An enigma and a puzzle
That no one dared to solve.

I stood alone, I lived alone
A warrior in the fight
No armor bearer, no sweet companion
To help me bear the night.

And then you came into my life
With love there in your eyes
So much like I, it made me cry
And feel I'd won a prize.

And all my soul I gave to you
And all my love and heart
Feeling you fit into me
Like we'd never been apart.

But to my surprise, I found that I
In surrendering all of me
Became a little girl again
That only you could see.

That strong oak tree that I'd become
 Became a willow, swaying
And the warrior woman so tough outside
Became a schoolgirl, playing.

That love would make me vulnerable
Was not part of my plan
I only meant to show my strength
Like I'd always shown a man.

But not with you could I do that
However right or wrong
I found myself surrendering
And not wanting to be strong.

For in your arms I felt at last
The woman and the girl
I'd always been but was afraid to be
Alone there in the world.

But you have the power to crush me
And your words can bite and sting
Just as you have the power to endow
And the gift to make me sing.

So strangely, strangely vulnerable
I've become and yet I find
It's comforting to be a part of you,
Your body and your mind.

What heals can hurt, what hurts can heal
It's odd how love can be
The humbling vulnerabilities
In turn, can set you free.

You'll hurt me though you don't mean to
And heal me if you can
Through it all, you'll see, the woman- child in me
Will make you a stronger man.

For fear of love doesn't make you strong
But weaker every day
For your heart slows down and eventually stops
Every time you push love away.

These are the lessons that I've learned
In the life wars that I've fought
And that love is the most highly prized of all things
But it's something that cannot be bought.

So I willingly give myself to you
For my heart, though battle-worn
Is soft and pliable in your hands
Like a heart, just newly born.

The Woman-Child Who Found Herself

Found On A Blue Green Sea

Found On A Blue-Green Sea

We sailed upon a blue-green sea

My love and I, that night

Beneath a moon of solid gold

And stars, silent and bright.

We clung to love with wanting arms

And spoke of things to come

Of fire and cold and growing old

And paths that lead to home.

We drank the night like it was wine

And whispered in the wind

Laughed at all the lonely years

And what almost could have been.

We'd found the faces we could love

In crowds of loveless hearts

And made our pact, no going back

To romantic stops and starts.

(Maybe love is magic

And maybe love is glue

And only love can mend the seams

Of a life that's torn in two).

But in that lovely little ship

Beneath those stars so bright

We solved the mysteries of our lives

As we sailed into the light.

Sometimes we don't know who we are

Till in a lover's eyes we see

All we ever hoped and dreamed

And all that we could be.

We nestled down in harboring hearts

Like treasures found and kept

While wind and sea carried us to shore

And in arms of love, we slept.

The song that inspired the write

The Promise by Secret Garden

the most beautiful melody I ever heard.......

A Lot Can Happen In Four Minutes

A Lot Can Happen In Four Minutes


A lot can happen in four minutes...

The world can end...you can fall in love
A car can be totaled, a web can be spun
A cup can break and be glued together again
A human being can be born while another human dies.

A lot can happen, does happen, has happened
Is happening all the time
But time passes, stands still, moves on, stops
In the blink of an eye and the beat of a heart.

There are those that can read the unwritten,
Hear the unspoken, feel the intangible
And move the unmovable
But those are few and far between, like us.

We belong to the category of "the few"
We don't think like "the many"
We don't live like "the average Joe"
We live in dreams that make reality "bearable."

Poetry is the language we speak
The purpose for our pain,
The reason that we breathe,
The thing that makes our hearts beat.

A lot can happen in four minutes......

I don't even know where that came from
The sentence just fell out of the ethereal
Into my mind and then my fingers caught it
And ran to get it down in print.

Who originated that thought? That phrase?
I have no idea. I only know it must be true
And if it's not, who cares?
 It sounds like a poem that someone needs to read.

Somewhere on the other side of this planet
(And, no, I don't believe that the Earth is flat)
I mean, look at the sun, the moon, the other planets
Aren't they all round?! Why should Earth be square?

And there on the other side of this God-shaped marble,
There are others trying to articulate these same thoughts
But very few, for this world is made up of the conformed
Square pegs desperately being forced into round holes.

Unlike us, we, who are neither round nor square
But uniquely shaped and bent and artistically formed
Into beautifully strange beings, hell bent
Upon finding other beings like ourselves outside of Heaven.

Only creatures like us see the heart shape in a fallen leaf,
A drop of crystal on a rose, the hidden smile on a granite face,
Hear the song the wind sings, the music of the stars,
Find the love in a heart that has been crushed beyond recognition.

A lot can happen in four minutes

Look at what just happened.......
You can receive a thought, peruse that thought
Write down that thought and share that thought
Like I just did. With you.
