I Dreamed I Was a Slave Girl

I Dreamed I Was a Slave Girl

I dreamed I was a slave girl

Kneeling at your feet

Occasionally you glanced at me

With a smile not sour nor sweet.

I didn't know what I should do

I didn't know how to act

I tried to give my heart to you

But you just threw it back.

I learned the slave girl dances

I was schooled in slave girl charms

I was told that if I learned to please

I would soon be in your arms.

Though you barely looked upon me

And ignored my foreign face

But if I stumbled in my duties

You would put me in my place.

Each night I danced before you

As you ate your evening meal

But I never knew if you were pleased

Your heart I could not feel.

I danced in veils of silken threads

With belly bared and taut

With bells around my ankles

And wondered what you thought.

But I was never summoned

To your palace chamber door

I tried so hard to give my best

But you never asked for more.

And then one night I threw myself

Down on my bed to sleep

And swore I cared for you no more

And no more for you would weep.

I no longer tried to catch your eye

But flirted with your brothers

Dancing far away from you

And closer to the others.

I twirled my silks around them

As I danced to beating drums

They begged for my attention

And I coyly gave them some.

I fed them grapes and poured their wine

I kissed their fevered brow

I never looked your way again

But you looked my way now.

One night you reached your royal hand

Out to summon me

But I danced away out of your reach

And darted away free.

Then later when the house was quiet

I was summoned by a slave

I told him that I could not come

And no excuse I gave.

I lay all night in darkness

Wondering my fate

They told me I would surely die

If my master, did forsake.

For a fortnight I was left alone

Not knowing what you'd do

But then one night, your servant came

Saying "He has need of you."

I bathed, perfumed and oiled myself 

Dressed in my finest silk

Adorned my body in jewels that gleamed

Against skin pale as milk.

And I let myself be led away

To your rooms by candle light

And then prostrated myself before

My master there that night.

For minutes there was no sound at all

No movement nor a word

And then you said the strangest thing

That I was not sure I'd heard.

You raised my face up to your face

And kissed my trembling hand

"You are a woman before me now

And I am just a man."

I didn't know what I should do

Or what words I should say

What trick is this, I wondered

What game is this you play?

I frowned at you and raised a brow

As you went down upon your knee

"My queen, I am your slave tonight

Feel free to command me."

My heart raced wild within my breast

I thought it was a dream

I didn't know if I should laugh

Or run away and scream.

 "I don't know..." I started

But you hushed me with a kiss

"So long, you've driven me mad and now

Look, it has come to this."

"And what is this?" I queried

"I've tried hard to bring delight."

"No game, sweet slave, true joy you gave

"Now, dance for me tonight."

And I knelt and contemplated

As your musicians gathered there

Waiting for my dance to start

As I trembled 'neath your stare.

Then a boldness came upon me

Like a tigress running wild

No more a timid slave girl

No more so meek and mild.

I danced for you with pleasure

I danced for you to see

How much I'd always loved you

Now I knew you wanted me.

Your eyes narrowed with your wanting,

Your body losing it's control

I danced till I was satisfied

That my soft hands held your soul.

And I fell down before you

As the night turned into dawn

And the candles all were melted wax

And the musicians all were gone.

Then I stood up and with my eyes

Commanded you to be

King, no more, Master, no more

But servant unto me.

And you let me lead you by the hand

To the bed of paradise

A slave girl who loved her master so......

But a Queen now in your eyes.

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.
❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Calling Your Name

Calling Your Name

(I stood alone calling your name

The clouds hid the sunlight and made way for the rain

Your name echoed back off the hills unto me

And my sad lonely shadow was all I could see.)

I'd sought you all of my life

Since I was but a child

I knew you were out there in the world

Somewhere in the wild.

For my dreams gave me glimpses

That my eyes couldn't see

And I knew that you existed

And were looking for me.

But my life took it's turns

Just as all lives, they do

And it distanced and detoured me

From the finding of you.

I met other lovers

I married and left

Two lovers who broke me

And left me bereft.

And I gave up on love

I gave up on life

For who needs a love

That's imprisoned in strife?

But my dreams never left me

They stayed buried, asleep

Laying stagnant and hidden

In my heart, oh, so deep.

And one day to my surprise

To my shock and my awe

My dreams were revived

By the face that I saw.

And the face was your face

A face I had known

In a dream, in a place

In a world of our own.

Where we walked hand in hand

As we walked through the world

Watching ages pass by us

As our dream lives unfurled.

Oh, and we were so happy

To just be we two

For I knew you loved me

And how much I loved you.

And I was your love
And you were my sweet boy
And our days and our nights
Were filled with pure joy.

But what we didn't know

Till much passage of time

That only in that dream world

Could you really be mine.

Till the Fates co-conspired

With the Heavenly plan

And allowed this sad woman

To once again find that man.

We had always had hope

That someday, and somehow

Our two dreams would collide

In the here and the now.

And they did in the last place

That we ever had thought

Stumbling there upon the one thing

That we always had sought.

What a mystery and joy!

What a sweetness divine

For my heart still was yours

And your heart was still mine.

And our souls meshed together

And our bodies belonged

Just as sure as a melody

With the words of a song.

But what cruel turn of fate

Like the changing of weather

Once again we are parted

And cannot be together.

And I call out your name

Like a prayer on the wind

Wondering how long it will be

Till I'm with you again.

For even a dream 

Will eventually die

And the reflection of your face

Will fade from my eye.

But my heart won't forget

When I take my last breath

That it loves you with a love

That is stronger than death.

 I'm calling your name again now

My sweet boy, my dear

Hoping this time you'll answer

And say Yes love, I'm here.
