Slip Through The Portal

I

Can't

Stay Away From You

Instrumental

Slip Through The Portal

Slip through the portal tonight in your dreams
And fear not the dragon for he's not what he seems
Meet me at midnight on the shore by the sea
And together we'll run far away, you and me.

We won't let them catch us or keep us apart
For they can't dismember this love in our hearts
It's as big as a mountain and as deep as the sea
And always has been and always will be.

I just want to be on this ship in your arms
So far away from the world and it's harms
I just want to see all the joy and surprise
Looking at me in your hazel green eyes.

I just want to taste the sweet kiss on your lips
Feel you caress me with your fingertips
I just want to know that what I feel is true
And sail into that dream world on this ship, with you.

WORDLESSLY

 I Can't Make You Love Me

Wordlessly

Wordlessly, I speak volumes
To the deafness of your heart
I tell you how I miss you
Whenever we're apart.

Wordlessly, I try to say
The things your ears won't hear
My eyes cry out my love for you
Whenever you come near.

Wordlessly, my sad soul begs
For the love you cannot give
For you no longer care for me
Or if I die or live.

Wordlessly, I sing a song
That I wrote just for you
And your lips tell me I'm lying
When every word is true.

Wordlessly, I'm breaking
Like a stem holding a heavy flower
I try to hold my head up high
But my heart can only cower.

Wordlessly, I breathe your name
And bare my needy flesh
Seduction that always worked before
Works no more now, I guess.

Wordlessly, I scream out my pain
To ears that do not care
Ears that used to love my words
Ears no longer listening there.

Wordlessly, I bow my knees
And beg your love to stay
But you look down in your disdain
And kick my love away.

Wordlessly, upon the ground
I lay in hopeless woe
My eyes full of such bitter tears,
I watch you turn and go.

But before you leave, you say to me
Words I can't believe are true
Don't waste your time, girl, grieving me
I never did love you.

Then wordlessly, you close the door
On all our love and life
You never were my husband
But I was your faithful wife.

Wordlessly, my life goes on
And I survive it day by day
But the day you left, my mouth fell silent
And doesn't have a word to say.

I cannot write another poem
I cannot compose a song
I cannot say another word
Now that my muse is gone.

You took the sun out of my sky
And stole my joy from me
Now everything I cannot say
My heart says wordlessly.

It Was That

Dogwoods blooming by crystal streams

Twilight drifting past your shoulders

And touching my cheeks with starlight

We kissed our first kiss………….

It was that innocent, that special.

Mistletoe falling from Christmas trees

In a meadow draped white with snow

And decorated by angels

We danced our first dance………………

It was that breathless, that pure.

Cathedral bells chiming in the new year

In a golden city with silver streets

And champagne filling every mud puddle

We became one at our first joining………..

It was that beautiful, that forever.

And we breathed each other’s air

And walked upon one another’s feet

Arms entwined like ivy through lattice

With lips that sought no other mouth……………

It was our life, it was our love.

Van Gogh painted us,

Monet decorated our house,

Chopin wrote our love songs,

And Da Vinci was our teacher……………

It was our future, it was our history.

We grasped life with eager eyes

Living every moment

With our souls woven in wonder

Devouring love like bowls of bread………

And never getting filled.

Dandelions pushing through newly born grass

On a May day so golden the sun was singing

And wrapping the river in heated arms

We felt our first inkling……………..

It was that puzzling, that inconceivable.

And Autumn came

And the leaves did not turn orange and fall

The trees fell instead

And with them, all the colors in the world……………..

And left a canvas gray and without sun.

The gold of the dandelion

Turned to fragile wisps of fluff

Though the stem stood tall and straight

As long as it could stand…………..

And the winds came, dispersing all it’s glory.

What do you say when the book is finished?

When symphonies lapse into silence

And landscapes fall from their frames?

How do you recapture dreams that die at waking

And retrace steps that have vanished on the shore?

Dragons breathed upon me

And swept the sky of stars

The last rose wept and laid itself so gently on your heart

And every light blinked in the dark……………

And our house bowed it’s head.

Wildfires burning through emerald forests

Clear cut mountains that used to be green

Dust and ashes where there used to be life

We said our first goodbye………………….

It was that desolate, it was that sad.

Run To Me

Run To Me

Don't run from Me but to Me

Don't go but yet draw near

Don't hide your face now from Me

Don't look on Me in fear.

Don't shout "Oh, God!" in anger

But call My name in love

Don't think I do not see you there

From where I live above.

Every day of your life is an integrity test

To see what character you build

You can't win the game by exalting your name

But only when to Me do you yield.

I have only such good thoughts about you

I have only true love for your soul

I have much success and so much I will bless

If you make serving Me your one goal.

My child, don't turn your back on Me

In this world of hate and harms

I wait to heal your aching heart

When you run into My arms.

a word the Lord spoke through me and to me

EASILY PLEASED AND AT THE SAME TIME DISCONTENT

Easily Pleased And At The Same Time Discontent

I am an enigma boiling in my own juice

Of confused red ripened heart

I think to myself in song-less rhymes

Unborn yet ageless in their need to be

And silently screaming, I shout down

Every faded gray wall within my soul

Until I fall into the newly broken day

There you are! I think. There you are!

And I reach forth

Tiny, outstretched fingers digging

Their way out of my being

To grasp the only thing that means anything

In this world to me

Or ever will:

The love I threw away

The love I still see shining on your face.
