Wyoming Spring
She was a red-headed beauty
From down Santa Fe
And her eyes were as blue as the sky on that day
He could never forget
And that's why he sings
A song about a Wyoming spring
Her laughter ran down
Like a clear mountain stream
Into the valley below like a deep lover's dream
On a Rocky Mountain night
And that's why he sings
A song about a Wyoming spring
That Wyoming spring took the measure of the man
He laid all of his heart in the palm of her hand
And as the ice caps were melting the flowers began
To bloom in the...

The Great Unknown
Souls wander aimlessly
through fields of grey and ash,
unable there to separate
the future from the past,
wondering in agony,
so many seeds unsown
all vanish in
obscurity
within
the great unknown.
A pirate vessel
moaning,
creaking
on an endless sea
of dark mists rarely broken
by moon or star
and never sun.
in undiscovered waters
sometime drifting,
sometime blown,
always lost-
tattered sails all twisting towards
the great unknown.
A tunnel to a cave,
a pool within a cavern,
luminescent...

Now
when i held you in my arms
i was young again
the best man
i've ever been
in love
like a fire
burning everything
flaming wings
soaring on the wind
perfection
in my hands
on my lips
never before ever
felt anything like you
beautiful
elegant
sensual
incredible
imagine me
dreaming of you
unknown bursting through
known
laughing at all that was
embracing all that is
now
i was young again
the best man
i've ever been
in love
like a fire
burning everything
flaming wings
soaring on the wind
perfection
in my hands
on my lips
never before ever
felt anything like you
beautiful
elegant
sensual
incredible
imagine me
dreaming of you
unknown bursting through
known
laughing at all that was

Avalon
I longed to hold her in my arms
And kiss her lips
For endless hours
Yet I watched her sail away
To dwell among the crystal towers
Of Avalon
We forged an oath
That we would meet
Whenever the moon was full
To dance upon silver tides of light
This misty magic
Willed
in love and passion
Alas each dawn our fate revealed
Our magic done
Our passion stilled
The morning star our parting sorrow
My doom awakened on the morrow
When she returned to Avalon
This secret tryst we made
And kept it...
And kiss her lips
For endless hours
Yet I watched her sail away
To dwell among the crystal towers
Of Avalon
We forged an oath
That we would meet
Whenever the moon was full
To dance upon silver tides of light
This misty magic
Willed
in love and passion
Alas each dawn our fate revealed
Our magic done
Our passion stilled
The morning star our parting sorrow
My doom awakened on the morrow
When she returned to Avalon
This secret tryst we made

Nectar
I want to sip your body,
nectar running down
from the flower of your face
and eyes,
petals of golden red hair
spread about
the pillow.
Flowing,
breathing,
over your breasts
a river of
honey on my tongue
quenching the
thirst of a thousand years.
Reaching,
merging
into your cries
I plunge through
the waterfall,
breaching with
a scream of exultation
The cold clear stream of joy unbounded.
Awakening on the sandy shore
Spent,
Amazed,
One with you.

grown
love is just a word
like "beautiful"
or "fool"
until united
with a deep
unbridled
passion
mutually
embedded.
Oh what
truth and real
meaning couched
in words we say
like fleeting
pages turned
as tales begun today,
tomoro forgotten
as we play.
Come love,
Speak.
What do you seek?
A message in the wind?
A tree
leaves rustling
whispering
secrets from below
where flowers
become fruit
fulfilling
the promise of
seeds
thrown
upon the ground
like...

holdin you
You're gonna break my heart
Knew it from the start
Like a sweet seductive secret
Tearin me apart
What you kno,
Won't let you go
All you feel
Like bars of steel
Holdin you

This moth loves the flame
Burnin in his brain
Like a flickering lovers shadow
Drivin him insane
Yea you're gonna break my heart

A little bird told me so
I told that little birdie

Dreams so real
