Breathe on Me

Breathe On Me

Breathe on me
In me,
For me,
Because of me,
In spite of me,
Despiting me,
For love of me
Or like of me,
Just breathe on me
Give life to me.

For I am crushed
Like trampled roses
Like tangled moss
And battered moths
Descending to 
Discarded gardens
Like rain
That has no where to fall.

Breathe on me
This broken bird,
This haunted flower,
This dying sun
I am but yours
As stars, the sky
As moon, the magic
As life, the death.

Breathe on me
Resuscitate me,
For I have plunged
To darkest depths
To deepest dark
From highest heights
Breathe on me
For I have crept
Where heartache slept
And despair lives.

In your eyes,
Your darkened eyes
My life and light
Lie hidden there
And yet you wait
And yet you sigh
And watch me die
In hesitation
Do you not know?
Can you not see?
The we inside
The you and me?

Reach forth your hand
And teach my hand
Teach my soul
To fly again
Teach my mind 
To think past pain
My heart to blossom
There in your rain
Teach my mouth
To smile in storm
To pull the coldness
From the warm.

Dance with me
To this, my song,
For night is long
And dawn has fled
Feel the lightning
In my touch
The sweetness sleeping
In my bed
Taste with me
The wine and wonder
And all the treasures
That love bestows.

Walk with me
And run with me
Out in the meadows,
Upon the sea
Touch the clouds
The silver sky,
All that's tarnished, 
Purify
Lift your face
And look at me
Let your eyes see
What I see.

I need your breath
I need your voice
I need your hunger
I have no choice
I need your arms
I need your kiss
I need your shadow
In morning mist
I need to burn
In midnight's flame
The way your lips
Caress my name.

Breathe on me
Above, beside me,
Without, within me,
Instead, inside me
Breathe on me
Breathe for me,
Breathe, breathe,
My love with me
For love of me
For love of me
My love, my breath,
For love of me.

Fantastic Bellydancer

Fantastic Belly Dancer I'm a belly dancer but I wish I was this good wow she's fantastic

wingless horses

wingless horses

and we were like wingless horses

running across the sky

pounding hooves like rolling thunder

fleeing from the clouds that cry

you and I, so much in love

you and I, so much in hate

you and I, too young to carry

all that worry, woe and weight

we didn’t know what we didn’t know

we didn’t see what we couldn’t see

our hearts would look for hidden treasures

found only inside you and me

days when love would pass like strangers

nights when dreams would burn to ash

weeks when life would slice our fingers

as it hurried by so fast

and then it slowed and then it stopped

and then it drowned in pouring rain

and then it died of great neglect

and then it came to life again

great breaking hearts inside our breasts

grew stronger with each pain and tear

no separation put asunder

the union of our love and fear

you and I, we fought like lions

you and I, we sang like birds

you and I, we killed each other

with our passion and our words

but we rose up like wingless horses

that didn’t know they couldn’t fly

and raced the winds that blew against us

let them raise us up so high

until we reached the pinnacle

until we left the lowest depths

leaving madness far behind us

and sang to love with our last breaths.

Unbound

Unbound

When I am with you

My soul is unbound

I am free as a bird

Flying high above ground.

When I am with you

I feel no fear

I fear no trouble

If I know you're near

When I am with you

I love without terms

I live to teach you

I live to learn

When I am with you

My soul soars so high

And no one can hurt me

Or make me to cry

When I am with you

I burn with your fire

Take you inside me

And feel your desire

When I am with you

My heart feels at rest

I sleep like a baby

With my head on your chest

When I am with you

I'm up, never down

Your love sets me free

Unfettered, unbound.

Unbound like the wild wind

Unbound like the sea

Like an eagle in blue skies

When you are with me

When I am with you

I do not touch the ground

For I'm no longer mortal

But a spirit unbound

And you are my true love

Just as wild and as free

Unbound and un-tethered

When you are with me.
