Shape Shifter

 

Shape Shifter

I am a gentleman, you said

and kissed my hand, raising your eyes

in the process to meet mine

in the candlelight

Promise? I queried and withdrew 

My hand from your tightening grasp

I wouldn't hurt a fly, you answered

And certainly not the heart

Of a fair lady

And I believed you and went tumbling

Down into the spell you cast

The web you wove

The love I needed so badly

For days on end and nights

Forever

Falling for you and your lies

And then the spell was broken

And the web began to strangle

True colors came to light

And cruelty took the place 

Of tenderness

I saw the true you in full sunlight

One day as you shape shifted

From knight to ogre and reached

Out to crush my soul in your hand

You sneered at my fear and laughed

At my pain

You sir, are no gentleman.

You sir, are no gentle man.

You sir, are no man.

I PLAY FOR YOU A VIOLIN

I Play For You A Violin  (repost)

I play for you a violin

And song so soft and sweet

I keep my eyes downcast, demure

As I sit at your feet.

I play for hours at your request

Till time has lost it's meaning

And candles burn down to their wicks

And night is slowly weaning.

Before the dawn has fully come

You hold your hand up high

And bid me stop my melody

Arise and say goodbye.

You do not look back at my face

Tearstung and raised to light

You do not see the love I bear

As you pass from my sight.

A servant girl, that's all I am

With gifted hands to play

Sweet melodies to comfort you

From torments of your day.

A king of royal dynasty

A man of power and yet

You find no peace in power's grasp

No love in life's plan set.

And so I play and so you listen

In silence, just we two

Night after night till daylight breaks

And my heart breaks for you.

You have no inkling of the love

I feel there as I play

Pretending you are mine alone

Till morn takes you away.

To kingly duties, kingly demands

The power of life and death

There in your words, there in your hands

There in your very breath.

All day I wait till midnight comes

For the summon and the call

Your weary face so full of woe

Till at your feet I fall.

And I play for you my violin

Pray peace into the gloom

Wait for your sigh with tear filled eyes

As my love fills up the room.

GOD MADE THEM....... in memory of my late mother

God Made Them

When I watch rain falling

I don't just see falling water

I see silver droplets coming from Heaven

And flowers that will bloom

Because God knows the world needs beauty

So He made rain.

When I see birds flying, birds in the sky

I thank God for thinking

That man might need some spirit-lifting tune

Even when he's too tired to sing himself

So He made birds.

When I see the sun

I don't just see a blazing ball of fire

I see God's smile when He thought for awhile

And decided that man needed light in his darkness.

So He made the sun.

When I see my mother

Singing as she lovingly cooks my meals

I don't just see a woman of service

I see the angel that told God of her loneliness

So He made me.
