SPIRITUAL UNION:
The night rolls in
Like waves in the clouds
Sparkling out loud
With twinkling whispers
And peaks of silver linings
Only dusted by our thoughts.
Naked branches
As we lie at their roots
Swallowed in the comfort of their home
Undone from what we knew
Fading into the ground,
Our voices cry out
Singing with the night.
Our tongues are the flight of our dreams
And wind carries them through the night
To the land that is yet to be seen.
Shadows - they beckon us
Stepping onto the breeze
Swirling up with the leaves...
And we dance there
In the space in-between.
Your lips drip the dew
From the soft blades that grow below us
As we fall upon each other
Covered in earth
Drunk in her welcoming embrace.
And the creatures we call walk curiously toward us
As the birds begin to sing.
And the once silvery, glistened sky
Becomes brighter once more
From the fire that's inside...
And we shall never die.

(for a tale of enchantment & forbidden love
may only begin thusly)

Once Upon  a Time ~

on a night when a thousand thousand stars
gleamed in the Camelot skye

I, being rogue & far too bold, approached her chambre
from a respectful distance, offered my appeal
that we might make a song in unison ~ a ballade
that has been writ by no minstrel nor maiden
her elegant quill to calligraphe upon my impudent parchment

out of intrigue, perhaps, or pity, she accepted the dare
and bid me wait in my lonely barracks
after nights of anguish, I received by flighted delivery
upon the back of an eagle, her poetical engraving

unorthodox was her voice, & her hand a-lined the page
with rebelist grace ~
were a lyric of more beauty rendered in other days
my eyes were not worthy to chance upon it

I hastened to proclaim my gratitude
and reached for her hand upon bended knee
such humility as is strange to a scarred warrior
she bid me rise, & by some efflorescing of ardor
she kissed my hand ~

my vision at once was obscured by the vilest tears
for a knight is a soldier, & a soldier never cries
man of iron – weeping would but rust his armor
my sword has slain heathens
whose code was to rape & pillage
my hands are stained with the blood of dragons
whose breathing fire seared my flesh
Crusades have beckoned me to unholy lands

yet I am not brave nor brash enough to embrace her
such a voyage may only be traversed
in the realms of sleep ~
dreams are as vacant as dead stars, & I will not dream

I, who am neither Galahad nor Lancelot
pledge to my Guinevere, who is not Guinevere
but the Fairest Nicole ~

were all my days & nights heaped upon the pyre
and my legend dwindle to sailing embers
I would remain

Your Cherished

Lost among the stars is our love,
How I never dreamed it would end.
I reach for you, you're all I knew I called you my friend.
You took me up, you sailed me to the milky way, then to Jupiter I thought we'd stay.

You held my hand oh so tight I loved that we would never fight. You made me believe, you showed me things I had never seen before.
I closed a door just once more hoping we could survive.

You took your lips and firmly pressed them against mine.
In that moment it was there I knew it Your soul would forevery be mine.
I drank you up in a small cup now your inside. I swallowed you whole now you know there will never be another home outside of me.

You are my love, you are my heart, you are my very best friend now I can love till the very end.

Our nights together are crazy
The laughs are constant
The days I was crazy and you were crazy along with me
The times I was mad you made me laugh and smile
Saying I love you and actually meaning it
I smile at everything you do
The nights I cried over you and the nights you cried over me
Mornings are much easier because I have you
The love I have for you is beyond what I thought I would ever feel
I dropped everything for you
That’s crazy because
I would never do it for anyone else
I vision our lives together
Its crazy funny hectic but also perfect
Not saying you and I are perfect
God knows we aren’t
But when we are together
It’s the most perfect thing in this universe

Love ala Fantasia

he was sitting on the park bench
all alone, looking lost and weary
I wandered near and he looked up
his eyes as green as the leaves
of summers gone by

eyes meeting, so deep we drowned
moving blindly towards each other
grasping hands meeting, holding
I moved into his embrace
feeling his strong arms folding me in

the music played for us
soughs of the wind, rustles of leaves
twittering birds and chattering squirrels
we danced lithe and nimble
swaying together clasped in bliss

we flew towards the skies
touching stars and travelling constellations
listening  to the choirs of angels
and sounds of triumphant trumpets
until we touched earth again

In our perfection,we waltzed
and as we walked away to our Elysian garden
we looked back once more
to see our tired bodies sitting on the bench
just two old hobos dead of weariness.

It was no extraordinary day
I didn't expect it.
I sat on the green seats
But I should mention

I had my head in the clouds
My senses moderately awash
With the Nectar of the heavens
My face a bit flushed

Like a mirage it seemed
But, oh, this was real
A goddess,  A Queen
She appeared, supreme

Lost love, Candle flames
A desire, once tamed
Now Burnt my insides
I felt overwhelmingly alive

Her dress was turquoise
Her smile was timeless
She sat across me
Oblivious to my presence

In that moment
Everything seemed trivial
Everything but the thought
Of her lips on mine

But then she stood erect
And straightened her dress
Walked away
leaving a brother in a mess.
