Moon of Red

Moon of Red 

Moon of red in a midnight sky

Omens of life sent forth to die

Cries of passion, cries of fear

Drenched in drops of rain and tear.

Where comes the night that has no day?

Whence comes what takes the dream away?

Who hears the voice of voiceless plea?

Which pours from lost ones just like me?

I ponder as I sit beside

The pool of tears from all who've cried

I wonder as I think on this

As panthers prowl and serpents hiss.

I do not know nor do I care

If there's a reason for me there

For reasons come with every task

And mock before you even ask.

The screech of owls, the rustling leaves

The sighing of the soul that grieves

The sounds surround me sitting here

And fill me with the feel of fear.

Higher now, the moon of red

Swiftly rises above my head

The air, electric with ethereal breath

Inhales life and exhales death.

And those who know the plot and plan

The few, the remnant of mortal man

Reach out to grab what's blown apart

And hold it tightly to their heart.

Trailing my fingers through the pool of tears,

I bend to watch my reflection appear

The red moon has tainted what in sunlight was fair

But alas, no reflection of my sad face is there.

Just a red moon, a red pool,

A dark sky of black

I'm afraid and I cry out

But get no answer back.

I Can't Un-love

You Are The Reason
violin

I Can't Unlove 

In my life, I know and I can count

Men I've loved on just one hand

There are those I like and like a lot

And a lot that I can't stand.

But there are not many I can say I've loved

With all of my little girl heart

Because I learned real young that men can be mean

So I cautiously don't allow love to start.

I have run away from and I have run to

But I don't usually stay very long

'Cause most of the loves I thought were so right

Just turned out to be very wrong.

I really don't try to play hard to get

But most guys think that I am

I've just learned to see deep inside of a man

And quickly know if he's worth a damn.

But oh, the few that I have loved

I've loved with all my soul

And I've lived to please them with all of my heart

And make their joy my goal.

There isn't anything I wouldn't do

If I loved a good, sweet man

And I I knew he loved me true right back

And I felt safe in his hands.

I would climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest sea

I would fight for him till my dying breath

If I knew that he loved me.

That's the kind of woman that I am

And I will be for ever more

But if a man unmasked shows another face

I will show him to the door.

For life's too short and death's too long

To live without true love

And there's no time to waste on Earth

Before you fly above.

But I have learned to live alone

When no true love can be found

It's best to live alone, I think

Than in strife and stress, to drown.

I've got a heart full of poetry

And my soul is filled with romance

And my body burns to love somebody

And to dance love's sweet slow dance.

But if I cannot find the man

That feels the way I feel

I will just live on without a song

If I can't find something real.

But I know there's something real out there

Because I've loved before

And I still love them though they are gone

When those ships crashed on the shore.

I can't unlove the ones I've loved

Though there have been so few

Once I fell in love, my heart still cared

Even when love came anew.

It's just the way I am, I guess

And you must believe it's true

And even though your love has died

I cannot unlove you.

You will be a part of my woman's heart

Till to Heaven my life I'll give

And even then on that golden shore

My love for you will live.

I can count on one hand those I've loved

The sweet and the not so nice

But when I think of you, sweet man

I know I'll count you twice.

You Are The Reason




Can't Unlove You

 

Caught

 ❤❤❤❤ "CAUGHT"❤❤❤❤

                                                                     

Running your hands up and down my skin       

              You gently pulled me in

Bathed in the darkness

                Of irresistible pleasure beyond measure                

The shadow people watched in envy

                          by red candlelight 

As I claimed you as mine 

                                          forever 

Lightning struck on the timeless stroke of midnight 

              And I followed in unison 

As the rain poured down 

                  On that old hotel's painted  box windows

I saw it in your fevered eyes

As  yearning entered your inner sanctums

That greed for unadulterated passion

That old yearning for this world's kaleidoscopes 

Of intense joy 

             and the overwhelming urge to......escape

That I alone can express for you                  
That I alone can give to you

Now as you lay before me
 Totally vulnerable
              on that

sweet bed of red Roses,

I beckon you.....pull you up to me     

               

 

                                                  

                                                                       

and you begin to take off that red dress

To step willingly waist-deep

               Into the deep recesses of other- worldly ecstasy

Look me in the eyes

            And all your dark fantasies confess

For I am the conqueror of all In and In-between 

I see you now and listen to your whispered pleas

Just hidden beyond all that blue ocean

                                 Of separation

           And those snow covered mountains 

                 Where I write unseen 

                                      In the dusk of evening 

For you know.......we know 

I can take you wherever you want to go     

and you know inside 

                   What is to come

You have been caught 

                        To never again run away

But to swim forever in love's river of gold

                     A new world to view and review

In treasured memories of tomorrow

                                 Whenever your flame burns low

                         And your heart grows cold.....................

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 beloved one?

The man to set me free?

For if you're not, turn now and run

And let this maiden be.

For if you're not, turn now and run
And let this maiden be............

I will Always love you

Alien Eyes

start the music now......join in the cosmic dance.

Alien Eyes

Dancing after midnight, dreaming

With eyes as black as coals

Floating off the dew dropped meadows

With sadness in our souls.

Silver vessels watching us

As we begin our dance

We'd journeyed long looking for solace

To seek our second chance.

The darkened space, a hungry mouth

That swallows by degrees

We left the galaxies behind

That would not hear our pleas.

On angel's wings we do not fly

Nor walk the way of men

We dance step like the evening breeze

That's the way it's always been.

Music from the Universe

Fills our inhuman hearts

We long to join the symphony

But we are shunned apart.

But dance me now, my shadow lover

Dance me to the dawn

For night will end and with the morning

In silence we'll be gone.

Celestial beings love the earth

Like earthlings love the sky

But they will never know this freedom

Until the day they die.

We dance in light, we live in night

In joyous sweet despair

We watch them as they walk below us

And they never know we're there.

Our slender hands now joined together

We dance around the moon

And sigh to leave this place of beauty

For we'll be flying soon.

The earthlings do not often treasure

And rarely recognize

The wonder of this world we covet

With our dark alien eyes.

We love this world, we love this sky

That they barely give a glance

But tonight it's ours and we are happy

Tonight we come to dance.
