“Lovers travel in and out of my life
Like travelers returning home and wandering out again
They pour into my cornucopia of Ecstasy
a part of their infinite essence
Making me a heady tale beyond words
Such that words scamper away
And I am left with the solitude of a feeling
One that I call love…one that gentles my strength
Into the softness of a woman’s bosom
And her splendor arched naked
To an all-consuming fire…
And I am reduced to humility
Surrendered to the worship I feel
Uniquely for each of my lover”
“As you pull me into your passionate embraceDear Lover, you feel like you’ve arrived back
Like I knew you before…
Songs of a desert hum themselves quietly
A long voice then when you departed
A life that slowly drifted away
Amid the wait for your arrival….
And now that you are back,
My mind cannot believe
What the heart is already excited about
How can I but share this secret with you
When you yourself know deep within
The promises we shared before we changed our lives…
Now all I can speak of is about this love
Which I know has come to roost a while
Like a splendid pelican on its journey
For warmth…
For food of the soul…
For Love that only the Spirit can contain…
And while I know the time is nearing
with every passing breath we share
in the stillness of these nights
ebbing and surging like waves on the sands of time
I surrender to you betraying all my possession of values
Just so that you can take away that part of me
That you have made yours so long ago
And leave me empty this time
As I let you go with quiet eyes
For ever beyond return”
