EVERY BREATH OF LYRICAL GRACE
Every breath of lyrical grace may lend voice to a song
Give lift and lilt to a note to entice lovers to gather
And so it is ...
The breath of a whisper draws me to linger . . .

IF THERE EVER WAS A JULIET
If there ever was a Juliet to be dying for
Be it one man's storybook or a thousand more
If there ever was a Cyrano de Bergerac
Who touched with words that never need be . . .

GIVE ME BREATH
My love gives me breath
To wake and wonder
To stand up tall
Against lightning, thunder
My love gives me voice
To raise when I'm weak
To speak plainly, directly
For those hungry and . . .

GYPSY POTION
Long to be your most prized wine
Savor the flow of your senses
The way you're intoxicating mine
Oh, yes,
I want to be the flow of wine
The succulent food when you dine
The delicacy of . . .

THE SMALLEST OF WORDS
P.S.- (maybe this isn't rightly a post script so let's call it a pre script or prologue to the verse)
One night my love seemed to be in a dim and lonely place.
She sat on . . .

THE MAGNIFICENT ACCENTS OF LOVE
I have long walked the lengths of a winding river
And have had the melting of the sun on my skin
Heard birds sing, my spirit saddled up on their wing
But . . .

SPARK OUR FIRST KISS ANEW
The delicate warmth of a candle flicker
Recalls the innocent simmer of first kiss
But now it does blaze across fire tempered face
As it trails down into the hollow . . .

WINGS TO FLY
Once I had not a clue
Of where my rivers end
Nor how high or blue my skies
No, not a clue of up or down
Nor east or west
Before I looked into your eyes
But now I have these wings . . .

SMILE
The cast of your wondrous smile
Will wash sunshine across my face
And that light will show me paradise
For your eyes do guide me truly

A THOUGHT ON REALITY
When you dream
Reality disappears
When you feel alive
Reality disappears
When you feel joy
Reality disappears
When you find laughter
Reality disappears
When you find love

NONE BUT FAMINE CAN LAY ME OUT
When the earthquake breaks, it loosens my burden
When the volcano blows, it releases my fire
When the flood waters flow, it cleanses my soul
When the hurricane turns, . . .

THE VINE WE CLING TO
They say the world can take you
Into mud way past your boots
Or try to split you... pull you from the roots
But we're so entangled and in so deep
We couldn't just slip... . . .

THE TIDE OF AN EROTIC SEA
I come home weary and wounded from a late night at work. The nights have become tiresome and numbing. I imagine you sleeping, but I open the door to the bedroom. The . . .

THE MIST OF OUR MOISTURE
When a lover’s many efforts come storming
Tossing the sweat beyond body and brow
When lips like clouds bring on raindropping kisses
Falling into the mouths of rivers . . .

LOVE’S ROSETTA STONE
To decipher Love’s Rosetta Stone
I have a way to go
Shall I engage my heart in calamity,
spit on it from the start?
Or shall I hope for a carousel,
to swing . . .

OUR FINAL BREATHS TWIN SPEARS
The eyes come unfearing, as bold as desert sun
But held in the soft shading of eyelids and lashes
Lips are shown as sunbeams, parting the clouds, my lips . . .

The stem, the leaf, the head of rose
Does it crave what gentle lover's kisses bring?
Can it feel the handle of my fingertips?
May I roam throughout as . . .

There along the nose and shoulders
Your freckled expanse rose up in tones
Rising like tiny rebel roses blooming . . .
