Communion

That love which is only taken
To warm the heart forsaken
Shall only burn
If not returned
Then quickly turn to ash.

Two Chords

Two Chords
Being sweet to each other
Two Chords
Sharing a dance toward opposite sides of the room
And if the music stops
Will they keep existing
And will they still be standing
In the middle of their destiny
Two Chords
Having a fight over nothing
Two Chords
Being as simple as they can possibly be
And if the music stops them
From being who they really are
Will they still be standing
Should they find that it's a fantasy
Being
Two Chords
And not
One Song

God Is

Good Goddess
Lover and Midnight Sun
Bestower of Tides
Beholden to none
But shines the light
Of Helios
Ever She, the Faithful One.

Badge of Courage

Excuse me if just for a moment I wear
A broken and shattered heart on my sleeve
As a badge of the courage it takes to pretend
I am loved, alive, and not dying inside

Holding Back

Love smiles
Holding arms open wide
And waits
Should you choose to walk
And not run

The Masque of Cupid and Death

Lie fierce and wondrous eyes
fearful
Alone, and forgiven of might
have
been

Masquerade

Behind the mask of the belle of the ball
Emboldened in her second skin
Lie fearful fierce and wondrous eyes
Alone, but forgiving of might have been
Her heart moved yet
And carried on
Dancing out her destiny
While might became what could have been
And what it soon will be

Howl

Howl
Remain
Still Vigilant
Prey
Not upon defeat
Prowl
Obtain
Her heart enchant
Stay
Hot and seeking heat

Until Morning Comes

Your eyes once beheld the best of me
You hid within my arms of rest
Your heart once beat as joyfully
As any could attest
But soon came the phantoms and eternal night
Our lips unlocked to catch a breath
Our souls sought for the secret truth
That forges lover's death

We Are Here Together

You held me in the arms of love
You helped me find my self
Created with me, hearts of gold
And dreamed of growing old
Together two, from first to last
And even yet apart
This promise we have made is true:
 I am here for you

The Last Word

The last word spoken in the room
Fell upon no mortal ear
Ethereal, untied from tongue
A sound of love and fear.

Avoirdupois

Merry
Love
Together rejoice
Marry
Age
Avoirdupois

Again the Morning

Again the morning of the undertaking
Of laughing children and starving dogs
Of headphones and solitude
Again the happiness of afternoon
The anticipation of the hurried
In the magic of smothered light
Again the intimate forsaken night
Does ache as the heart in a hurt reborn
For the donning of tomorrow's armor

M

Through mourning storm
In cloud and gloom
Of Acheronian twilight
Fell
Soul and dust, fired and star-forged
Into womb
And her arms of light

Should Night Arise

Should night arise within your heart
Your face become the haunting shade
Your hand become the instrument
By which an innocence departs
Step not again into this realm
Of guardians and iron might
Who limb-from-limb shall liberate
The dark to give back to the light

Prayer

Give us this night
In forgiving dreams
Alive and in love
For tomorrow
Give us these children
We wished we could be
Scarred not by yesterday's
Sorrow

In a Word

Breath becomes
Vibration setting
Cataclysm or repair
Of a new illumination
Born of hope or dark despair

Not Guilty

I am forgiven I am free
Though the sun has set
Your eyes are upon me
Though darkness
Never bring to light
That dark too dark to see
Your gaze is all I need

The Death of Me

Down to death did I dive
Deep into this sunken heart
Where none dare go
But for love
And with holy strength of
The fabled god
Drowned the kraken
Within its own blood

Holy Hot Damned

My timer stopped
My heart beats
I live
But dead
To all but you
Eternally
Through holy Heaven
And the hottest Hell
