She was “Old Style” like a 54 Ford
Easy to look at & traveled real nice
She was a turnkey woman
Easy to start and a deep warm sound
Her lines were classically beautiful
She drew fond glances when you took her out
Running my hands up and down those lines,
Always makes me feel like a long ride would be good

She saw through the veil of nature,
As a queen sees her heaven,
As if the Oracle spoke to her of love,
Thus he stood before her
Filling her eyes with destiny.

Oft times the rhythms,
Of my soul‘s pain,
Play on the strings,
Of my lonely heart.
And the river of my tears,
Let loose the siren’s cries
As an ocean of lost feelings,
Find their way to my lonely shore.
So this old sailor longs,
For his sultry ocean,
To crash over his burdened shoulders,
To cleanse his weary soul,
And free his lonesome heart.

“Will the Monsters Win”
It is then that that the old pains return,
Suddenly they seem more in control of my psyche,
Stronger then when I first became resilient,
So suddenly I fear losing this battle.
I fear that this lifetime war,
May not end as I wish,
Will I become as those from my past,
Who tortured me into the small corners.
Corners that held back my soul,
Will I not find again it’s purity & power,
The power to let loose my love,
To let my talents fly free again
She said I had sad eyes, so very sad
I opened those eyes to her passionate warmth
I bathed in the luxury of her eyes/lens
She made me smile for a while a deep new smile
A smile I had longed to have for a hearts eon
It came from a part of my soul that I just cant hide
So now I was a man opened raw and vulnerable
I sometimes fell short of her deeper needs
Oh woe is me now for I have been lashed
Her anger reached out and touched me too deep
I fear I have not comprehended just how to love
So now I am on the whipping post of my own fierce whip
So she called me out as a runner she did
It’s not a run when you take cover from the lashes
It’s the pain uncovered from places unknown but deep
So now I am spun into the dark reaches of the universe
Sometimes the pain cuts deeper than my soul
The tears fall faster than I can run
The fears dance like knives on my flesh
The visions fly like demonic winged vultures
Consuming my thoughts like ravenous vampires
Sucking me dry and bleeding my heart of hope
So the blues call me to dance in the rain
To feel the pain in every beautiful refrain
Go ahead you demonic warriors come for me
For I am a gladiator of the heart & soul
I will rise again to love even deeper than before
This is my path to fight for loves highest ground
So take me as low as you have ever taken a soul
Then watch my wings spread in the beauty of love
Watch me fly to my hearts true destination
A place of love and creative passions expressed
I spoke to you , but you did not hear
For truly we were separated by the abyss
An abyss filled with darkness, with fear
So as I cried out , listen to me
You set your fears free
Free to roam and rage in the halls
of your desperation to be understood
So you cried out loud with your desires
Desires to be set free of your path of destruction
for truly we set out, without the proper maps
into an uncharted territory for you, for me
and in this wild uncivilized jungle we got lost
Forgive me for I should have held the compass high
So you could trust in me not to get lost in my own cavern of darkness
So I ask you now to let the light shine bright and forgive me my darker days
As you traverse these new halls with better guides who have a stronger compass
I ask of you to trust in my desire and ability to learn too as we grow together and seek the higher plain
Let us go to our music together and seek out the music and the proper refrain
To let us both sing a song of freedom , freedom from our darkest fears
Let’s dance in the rain and cleanse our souls to open back up to one another
For truly my bright and wonderful child even in your darkest hour did your soul shine bright
Like a pure and glowing star in the sweet uncharted skies of all the night
Let the fires of our world
Consume me, if they must
Whilst I listen to music,
for truly, many a lonely night
has the strumming of a guitar
& the crying of a violin,
reached in this beast’s soul
and inspired ,
the calm beauty of an artist
and soothed,
the wild crying of a man
As the leaves in the trees,
whisper Louise
My Eyes & heart
Whisper Silvia
As the warm summer breeze,
caress’ me gently
I crave the sweet taste,
of your flesh
As my eyes are enticed,
by the soft floating clouds
I drift to thoughts of our floating bodies
seeking ecstasy
She walks among the wounded
Smiles with love and listens to the pain
While she hides her own deep wounds
Behind invisible scars
She seeks love and truth
In herself and others
While gracing them with hers
Smiling with her gentle eyes
She lives in the moments of true passion
While expressing her beautiful vision
Holding you in her gaze
Here you now feel at peace
For all facets of her love are deep
Whether platonic or romantic
She has a power of genuine warmth
A soft yet strong hold that you revere
For always has your heart longed for this
Often have you felt the lack of this
While travelling your winding path
You only dreamt this might be real
