you are angel honey
dripping sweet over feathered wings
from a darkened place fell
into my lap.
I am the hunter
You are my prey
illuminated moonlit paths
beautifully accented
lead the way
barefoot through the evening dew
chills my skin, quickens my pace
racing to your entry point
from where you were to where I am.
You've fallen before and I
I played the role of saviour and saint
the role of siren and seductress
Temptress to stay on this earthly plane
Your honey, my angel, drips too sweet to let such a source wane.
My earthly shell is no match for your purity and grace
in the darkness of the night
by candle-flame
can I reveal my true face
I am Psyche to your Eros
bare ankles and cheeks flushed
your laughter follows me, warms me
a true lady's blush
a maze of thorns I'd suffer, endure
to receive your gaze, your touch.
A trail of pennies leads me to your door
breathless, restless
searching for more
A door, from world to world
What demons lurk waiting for me if I step through?
What price to pay for time with you?
The fog thickens, it darkens
as if to warn
This path is treacherous.
As the night's rain falls against my breast
Your honey still drips sweetly under these uncelestial orbs
And I find that I cannot rest.
At your door with pennies I wait...

I Thought Love Once…
I thought love once
was meant to be a toxic thing
Cupid's arrows only shot one way
his poison seeping through his victim's veins
Us all - just puppets
Love the ultimate puppeteer.
I thought love once
was a never-ending battle
Fighting the good fight
rooting for the just cause
drawing lines, creating boundaries,
knowing when to pick your battles
Us all - just pawns
Love the ultimate game.
I thought love once
was giving in, giving up
settling for what you thought best
compromising because
this is the really real world
And because ghosts (and second chances) don't come back.
I thought love once
was a slow and simple thing
sickly sweet like honey
that clots and stays, infused everywhere
If only I could get in
Us all - just bees
Love the ultimate nectar.
I thought love once...
was....
I thought wrong.

Lucky 13
Roll the dice for me baby
and don't think twice
Time just started winding its way around the bend
again
and I'm not cashing out
So don't you pout
and don't you cry
Santa may have closed up shop
but this is the New Year
and there's 12 months to play naughty and nice.
Lucky 13
I ain't superstitious
not in cards, not in love
not even for things unseen
It all just is or it ain't
So you wanna know will this be the year...
well the year for what?
gamble on the red of life
or the black of night
pay the queen her due
or dance with kings
Make 'em or break 'em, lay it all on the line
It's another year and we ain't got nothing but time.
Aces high, deuces wild
I've got the soul of a 5-year-old child
who likes odd numbers and takin' chances
Playin' with angels and earthly romances
Then you walked in and gave me a smile
And I put it all on Lucky 13.

Life’s Ride
Take the last train And catch me by bullet plane The wind whispers, "tonight, tonight, tonight" My suitcase full of Instances of your love My heart lulls, "make it right." That flaunty spring breeze Plays peek-a-boo with the trees My forehead cold against the glass How it separates us still Distance holds us against our will Time crawls on so slowly past. We weather our showers Our struggles for power Seeking more, yet time for less Divine Inspiration No time for anticipation The soul just one big mess. So take the last train And meet me unrestrained Open and real and free We'll ride on through dawn Eternity and beyond Together - just you and me Together - on this amazing and wild journey.

Missing You
Your absence echoes
Through the walls of my heart
Off the walls of our room
When love packs its bags
For work
No plane is too quick
To return you back to me.
