PEOPLE MADE OF LOVE

soundtrack for piece

People Made of Love

I sit here waiting for the man that I love

The stars are shining in the night skies above

The moon is hanging just over the hill

And all of the world is silent and still.

My love throbs inside me like the beat of a drum

Waiting for him and the moment to come

When my eyes fall upon him and his eyes meet mine

And he kisses my mouth with his own, sweet as wine.

These are moments I cherish

These are moments of bliss

His dark eyes full of passion,

His mouth burning kiss.

I will wait for his shadow to fall upon me

I will wait for his eyes to acknowledge and see

I will wait for his hunger as hungry as mine

To make it's need known, to show me it's sign.

And there in the darkness when the whole world is still

I will give myself to him, I will bend to his will

I will stand there before him with my candle and spark

And we'll love like before and we'll dance in the dark.

He's a phantom and ghost

He's a thief in the night

He's a mythical man

That only lives in my sight.

I conjured him up one night in my mind

And I created him from my own special design

And I loved him to life with my need and my want

And gave him my heart to dwell in and haunt.

And he lives there in shadow, a spectre and myth

The man that I long for and want to be with

Just a thought in my brain that I breathed into form

That took on flesh and blood with no need to be born.

They might say I am mad

And they may rightly think so

But the man that I made out of love

Doesn't know.

He's as real as I am

And I will always be

But what only I know

Is that my lover made me.

He made me of dreams and wishes and wants

And gave me his own heart to dwell in and haunt

And we met in the darkness when the full moon was bright

And we clung to each other and we danced in the night.

And when morning had come with it's bright yellow sun

The night fled away and we two turned to run

For we couldn't exist in the exposure of day

And we held hands there tightly as we faded away.

 But we met soon again

When the white moon was full

And the forces of wanting

With their pleasure and pull.

Drew us back to the yearning

And to love's glowing spark

To take form out of shadow

And to dance in the dark.

I don't know if forever is a word meant for us

We who don't know of breathing or heart beat or pulse

We are creatures of dreams, substantial enough

To take form for short moments

Though we're made out of love.

People made out of love

And magic and dream

Not made like mere mortals

Who are just what they seem.

We are haunting and haunted

And we know of none else

I am created by him

And he sprang from myself.

And now I sit here waiting for the man that I love

Again to appear with the full moon above

The passing of time is a blade that cuts sharp

For people like us that exist in the dark.

We didn't learn how to hold back the time

I just wanted his love and he wanted mine

So we conjured and created but something went wrong

And our moments are magic but they do not last long.

Perhaps one day we'll learn that trick

From magicians who are much more clever

And my love and I can live and love

And dance here in the dark forever........................

SHATTERED

S h a t t e r e d

I never knew you were made of glass

Until today.........

I thought you were made of steel and iron

And could take on a lion or a bear

Until today..............

 I never knew what  a rose petal I was

Until today....................

I thought I was the strongest  woman in the world

And could stand and fight with the baddest of the bad

Until today.......................

But today I saw myself being carried away by wind

Unable to stop myself from floating and flying

Not of my own accord but by someone else's

And I was terrified..................

Floating, floating, there on the wind like a rose petal

Trying to hold onto anything I could grab

But there was nothing to grab onto.

And I just kept rushing away carried by that angry wind

All the time watching you standing on a distant shore

Watching me watching you

There were tears in my eyes at the thought that I was losing you

At the thought that I would never see your face again

And yet at the same time, you seemed like a perfect stranger to me

And someone that I didn't even know and never had.

I watched you climb a mountain then that appeared on the shore

And you stood on that mountain as you watched me

Being carried away by the wind,

And you screamed out my name, once, and you jumped

You jumped off the mountain top as I watched helplessly

And you shattered into a hundred million pieces there in the sunlight

And covered the shore with crystal shards of yourself, of your heart

And all that you were and  ever had been.

And suddenly the winds changed direction

And carried me back to that shore

And dropped me there upon the shattered pieces of you

And I lay there, a tiny rose petal, who had loved you with all it's heart

And I wept like a thousand hurricanes

Full of tears for you and all you'd meant to me.

Until one of the shards of you fell on me

And tore me to ribbons

And we were both shattered in that one moment

And both stunned at the realization

That we were not as strong as we thought we were

We were fragile, so fragile

And we were dying.........................

And the world would go on in it's never ending cosmic dance

Without us.

TAKE CARE OF ME

Take Care of Me

Take care of me, baby

I'm your lover girl

I'm the one you that dream of

There in your distant world.

Take care of me, baby

I'm your sweetest thought

I'm the one that brings comfort

When your plans come to naught.

Take care of me, baby

Hold me in your arms

Show me how you want me

Thrill me with your charms.

Take care of me, baby

Make my senses reel

Kiss me like you're dying

And I'm all you want to feel.

Take care of me, boy

And I'll take care of you

Show you all the things you've missed

There beyond the blue.

Take care of me, baby

For I've been a lonely girl

Needing something I couldn't find

Here in this lonely world.

Take care of me, love

Forbid my eyes to cry

Open up your heart to me

And I'll teach you how to fly.

Take care of me, baby

I need a gentle hand

I need a warm and tender touch

From a good hard loving man.

Take care of me, baby

I need you here, right now

And if you've never learned to care

Then I will teach you how.

It's not so hard a job, you see

I do not ask for much

Just a kiss that lasts for hours

Just an electric touch.

Just undress me with your eyes

And clothe me with yourself

Love me like a hurricane

Till you have nothing left.

Then I'll rock you like a baby

And spoil you like a child

Let you dream up new fantasies

And allow you to run wild.

For you and I are much the same

And no one else has ever cared

For us the way we need them to

No one else has dared.

For they saw the wildness in our eyes

That they could never tame

They ran away from passion's fire

That fire that has a name.

And it's your name and it's my name

And it longs to hear the voice

That can call it like it needs to be called

As though it had no choice.

Take care of me, baby

Make your heart my home

I'll be your fire, your one desire

And I'll care for you alone.

I'll Take Care of You

I listened to this song

ARE YOU AFRAID?

The Last Butterfly

by

Wodkah

Are You Afraid?

Are you afraid? she asked of me

But I answered not her query

For I was much, so much afraid

But thrilled and much and very.

So long I'd waited for her call

So long I'd dreamed of this

Waiting for her promises

Waiting for her kiss.

And dreamless nights had turned me back

When no dream could be found

And I had wandered far and long

On wearied feet and ground.

Waiting on her special isle

Beyond the field of flowers

I sought her every tear-stained night

And waited many hours.

Until my heart had given up

And I turned myself away

To leave that place, with saddened face

And then I heard her say.........

My love, where goeth thou this night?

Why hast thou lost thy dream?

I've watched thee, lo, these many moons

Hidden by the stream.

I made a path of roses

I sang a lover's song

I lit for you a shining light

I waited all night long.

But you looked in all the wrong places

You heard not my sweetened tune

Your tears put out the candle's glow

And your darkness hid the moon.

Come here, beloved, come to me

Rest your weary head

I'll tell you tales to make you well

Of living things and dead.

See how my dark eyes shine for you?

See how my sweet lips smile?

I am a mystery, this is true

But in me, you'll find no guile.

I feel your heart like a thousand drums

Press against my own

I feel your blood rush through that heart

Like it's racing to get home.

Shh!!! Don't speak, don't say a thing!

There's time enough for words

I only want this sweet communion

That our two hearts have heard.

I know you've searched a long long time

And I have evaded you

But I had to prove unto myself

That you, my love, were true.

I'm not like other maidens

Who tease and employ tears

For if you make me weep, my love

I simply disappear.

And all you'll see is a fading glimpse

Or a shadow of my smile

You may hear a snippet of my song

And in dreams, hold me a while.

But not for long and not always

Will your eyes behold my face

For the shadows will take me if I cry

To a dark and dream-less place.

Until my heart is healed and whole

And my soul is once more well

For up till now, no man has learned

To break this cursed spell.

Are you the One, my sweet, sweet man?

The man to set me free?

For if you're not, turn now and run

And let this maiden be.

For if you're notturn now and run

Amd let this maiden be.......
