wingless horses






wingless horses



and we were like wingless horses
running across the sky
pounding hooves like rolling thunder
fleeing from the clouds that cry

you and I, so much in love
you and I, so much in hate
you and I, too young to carry
all that worry, woe and weight

we didn’t know what we didn’t know
we didn’t see what we couldn’t see
our hearts would look for hidden treasures
found only inside you and me

days when love would pass like strangers
nights when dreams would burn to ash
weeks when life would slice our fingers
as it hurried by so fast

and then it slowed and then it stopped
and then it drowned in pouring rain
and then it died of great neglect
and then it came to life again

great breaking hearts inside our breasts
grew stronger with each pain and tear
no separation put asunder
the union of our love and fear

you and I, we fought like lions
you and I, we sang like birds
you and I, we killed each other
with our passion and our words

but we rose up like wingless horses
that didn’t know they couldn’t fly
and raced the winds that blew against us
let them raise us up so high

until we reached the pinnacle
until we left the lowest depths
leaving madness far behind us
and sang to love with our last breaths.

Unbound








Unbound


When I am with you
My soul is unbound
I am free as a bird
Flying high above ground.

When I am with you
I feel no fear
I fear no trouble
If I know you're near

When I am with you
I love without terms
I live to teach you
I live to learn

When I am with you
My soul soars so high
And no one can hurt me
Or make me to cry

When I am with you
I burn with your fire
Take you inside me
And feel your desire

When I am with you
My heart feels at rest
I sleep like a baby
With my head on your chest

When I am with you
I'm up, never down
Your love sets me free
Unfettered, unbound.

Unbound like the wild wind
Unbound like the sea
Like an eagle in blue skies
When you are with me

When I am with you
I do not touch the ground
For I'm no longer mortal
But a spirit unbound

And you are my true love
Just as wild and as free
Unbound and un-tethered
When you are with me.

The Beast Calls



The Beast by Rhythm X Revival

The Beast Calls





























The Beast Calls

The beast calls at midnight
When the moon is full and high
And I hear his mournful wailing
Like his soul's about to die.

I can hear him in my dreams
When I'm lying fast asleep
I can hear him running toward me
Up the mountain tall and steep.

I can hear his ragged breathing
Hear his panting in my ear
Hear him beg me to go with him
Though I pretend not to hear.

I can see his eyes upon me
Devouring me with lustful mouth
I can feel his teeth cut through my skin
Though the door has kept him out.

But he stands outside my window
Sending secrets to my brain
Telling me how much he loves me
And wants to be with me again.

But I cannot let him near me
I know I can't let him inside
For the man that once he had been
Is a wolf, the man has died.

But he begs me oh, so pitifully
That it breaks my loving heart
For I loved him, how I loved him
When our romance had it's start.

But the wolf girls took my lover
Took him in the full moon's glow
Kept him till he gave compliance
And they would not let him go.

So they hit him and they bit him
Changed his nature from a man
And they made him into something
That I cannot understand.

But he will not leave me here alone
He will not give me up
He tells me we'll be lovers once more
If I'll just drink of his cup.

And I tell him no time after time
I won't give in to his plea
But I do not know this very night
He has planned to deceive me.

A woman comes then to my door
Knocking softly like a friend
Smiling sweetly she asks if I 
Might be so kind to let her in.

And not thinking this could be a trick
I open up my door to her
And she pulls me out into the night
Into arms so soft like fur.

And they take me to their lair in chains
The wolfen girls that he has sent
Hold me prisoner till he comes for me
Behind iron bars that can't be bent.

I'm so frightened I can barely breathe
I can hardly stand to see
Then I feel his breath upon my face
As he puts his claws on me.

Please don't take my life away from me
My form, my face, and all I know
I beg softly to the man he was
But he shakes his great head, no.

Then I feel his sharp teeth ravage me
And I scream with all my might
I hear him say he's sorry in my mind
For the thing he does tonight.

Then he licks the blood off of my skin
Cradles me within his arms
And I drift away to deep darkness
Sheltered then from further harms.

In the morning I am still myself
As the me I know to be
 I look at my hands and feel my face
Fearing what I might soon see.

The change is slow and deadly certain
And I  can feel the savage blood
Flowing violently through my veins 
Like my sisters said it would.

And they took me from my prison
Then removed the chains from me
Gave me clothes to hide my nakedness
And they let me just go free.

I hid myself from all of nature
Hid myself from lion and loon
I hid from every living creature
But there was no hiding from the moon.

And the midnight came and took me
To the meadow bright as day
And the full moon did it's magic and
Took my human-ness away.

I became a thing I did not know
And I did not want to be
Screaming out my pain to Heaven
Then I saw him watching me.

Coming to me in the moonlight,
I saw the man turn into beast
And he howled out an invitation
To attend his ghastly hallowed feast.

And he took my hand and ran with me
Through the forests dark and green
And I saw with sight I'd never had
Things that I had never seen.

As we ran, my inhibitions fled
And I embraced what I'd become
My body changed, mind rearranged
And the forest  began to feel like home.

I could feel the joy within him
I could see love in his eyes
Finding our love had never died
Was to me a great surprise.

I never realized that creatures
Not humankind, could still feel love
Even wolves, slaves to the bidding
Of the full moon up above.

And as time passed, I so adjusted
To the life that I now led
Hiding in my human costume
With pure wolf thoughts in my head.

Longing for the lunar phases
To do their cycles and begin
To see the moon in all her fullness
And to run free once again.

Past and Present




Past and Present

The music of the past poured out
Into the heart break of the present
The long-ago of the far-away
Into the here and now.

He heard her voice so soft and low
Like a tender angel singing
Filling holes within his heart
And never knowing how.

How could that piece of wax so old
Contain such a healing touch?
He didn't know the singer's name
But he loved her very much.
