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 
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.
