Poet Introduction
I'm just a shadow in this world
Soft_lilac
In the odeon of dreams,
she comes to me,
gliding her hand onto mine.
The love of two souls,
breaking the mould,
into the lilac breeze.
Where are you now?
My angel unbound;
why must it end this way?
We were untouched
in an ocean of lust,
longing to kiss you someday.
she comes to me,
gliding her hand onto mine.
The love of two souls,
breaking the mould,
into the lilac breeze.
Where are you now?
My angel unbound;
why must it end this way?
We were untouched
in an ocean of lust,
longing to kiss you someday.

Strange love
Softly dimmed lights
in the shadow world of time.
Two lovers lie naked;
perfectly entwined.
The peal of muffled church bells
in the delicacy of night.
Her sweet perfume on my skin.
The scent of sexuality,
drifting on a wave of sensuality.
Whispering our sins
in the den of lust.
in the shadow world of time.
Two lovers lie naked;
perfectly entwined.
The peal of muffled church bells
in the delicacy of night.
Her sweet perfume on my skin.
The scent of sexuality,
drifting on a wave of sensuality.
Whispering our sins
in the den of lust.

Unfaithful
Let's take it slow tonight
Just let our lips
find each other
Everything melts away
when I am with you
So many wasted years
without the touch
of a woman
Now my heart
is open to love
if only you could
believe in me
No man will ever love you
the way I can
So why do you run from me?
Just let our lips
find each other
Everything melts away
when I am with you
So many wasted years
without the touch
of a woman
Now my heart
is open to love
if only you could
believe in me
No man will ever love you
the way I can
So why do you run from me?

I don't belong...
I don't belong in this world.
I can't escape the demons
that lacerate my dreams.
I don't belong in this world,
but I can't find a way
to terminate this game.
I don't belong in this world
because love has abandoned me
and left me in a garden of pain.
I don't belong in this world
because I no longer
believe in hope.
I can't escape the demons
that lacerate my dreams.
I don't belong in this world,
but I can't find a way
to terminate this game.
I don't belong in this world
because love has abandoned me
and left me in a garden of pain.
I don't belong in this world
because I no longer
believe in hope.

Tender
I can still smell the scent of her
Just an effervescent memory
that lingers on my skin
when we kissed on the stairwell
You made me feel alive
now I am lost
in the vagaries of love
fading into time
as the river of our destiny
is swept out to sea
Sometimes I dream of you
bathing in the water
the reflection of your beauty
spills into my heart
I don't like the thought of you
being with another man
it makes me feels so helpless
but I know you can't resist
the passion...
Just an effervescent memory

Sometimes I dream of you

spills into my heart

it makes me feels so helpless
but I know you can't resist
the passion...

Untouched
The sea of words has turned to sand;
A tired wind retreats.
Why must I feel this weariness?
Erasing all belief.
This curtain call of summertime;
This isolated beat,
Is drumming through a pleasure-dome
Where love is bound to meet.
I struggle to convince myself;
I struggle to believe,
That all I ever visualized
Is just beyond my reach.
I contemplate a better life,
Where love is truly found.
The entrance to Elysium
has left me underground.
A tired wind retreats.
Why must I feel this weariness?
Erasing all belief.
This curtain call of summertime;
This isolated beat,
Is drumming through a pleasure-dome
Where love is bound to meet.
I struggle to convince myself;
I struggle to believe,
That all I ever visualized
Is just beyond my reach.
I contemplate a better life,
Where love is truly found.
The entrance to Elysium
has left me underground.

Tapestry
A swinging lamp
in Autumn rain
immoral thoughts
and coffee stains
She scribbles notes
on serviettes
a phantom kiss
upon her neck
The wicked deeds
she has in mind
between the words
she underlined
The smell of oak
and leather straps
her body drips
like candlewax
To a place
the devil knows
she lingers long
as semen flows
On a wave
of shallow need
her fingers delve
through tapestry
in Autumn rain
immoral thoughts
and coffee stains
She scribbles notes
on serviettes
a phantom kiss
upon her neck
The wicked deeds
she has in mind
between the words
she underlined
The smell of oak
and leather straps
her body drips
like candlewax
To a place
the devil knows
she lingers long
as semen flows
On a wave
of shallow need
her fingers delve
through tapestry

Silhouette
Her obscure silence
Is the font of empty words
In the spectre of a verse
From the cotton well of mist
Apparition of a kiss
She is silent overseas
In this luminescent dream
Just a silhouette of blue
In the shadow of the moon
Is the font of empty words
In the spectre of a verse
From the cotton well of mist
Apparition of a kiss
She is silent overseas
In this luminescent dream
Just a silhouette of blue
In the shadow of the moon

Twilight
We kindle the realm of destiny
Through the embers of a dream
Naked as the southern wind
That whips the saline waves to sleep
The velvet ink of twilight
Ebbs and flows into the new dawn
Severing the day
In the guillotine of time
Captured by her distant words
I ruminate in silence
As the first kiss of Autumn
Breathes through the wilderness
Siphoning the love
That spills through my heart
Through the embers of a dream
Naked as the southern wind
That whips the saline waves to sleep
The velvet ink of twilight
Ebbs and flows into the new dawn
Severing the day
In the guillotine of time
Captured by her distant words
I ruminate in silence
As the first kiss of Autumn
Breathes through the wilderness
Siphoning the love
That spills through my heart

Discarded
I think I disappointed her
She said I was "wasted"
It was the look in her eye
"Don't commit suicide"
Why would she say that?
It's a struggle to maintain hope
When someone close is torn away
But nothing has broken me
So why do I feel discarded?
I'm just a middle-aged man
Drifting through life without a purpose
Storing all the hurt
Inside a padlocked box
She said I was "wasted"
It was the look in her eye
"Don't commit suicide"
Why would she say that?
It's a struggle to maintain hope
When someone close is torn away
But nothing has broken me
So why do I feel discarded?
I'm just a middle-aged man
Drifting through life without a purpose
Storing all the hurt
Inside a padlocked box
