Within My Heart
- Within My Heart -
Prelude: Mountain and Moon
“The mountain looms so rugged and so large,
Over the buildings of my lonely home town…
And come the cool of night, the moon’s arch,
Shall become before my eyes a forlorn frown.
That is, if by chance the crescent it becomes!
But I must smile as I might, and be so patient,
For my heart, to the distant horizon beckons!
I follow love as if it were holy commandment.”
Part One: Beyond the Dawning
Beyond the dawning hours of the sun’s rising,
I can hear the singsong of birds, in a melody.
Their cheer should never be all that surprising,
Because, they share one another’s company!
I too shall sing and my song shall so beguile…
The heart of a man or woman, who is moved,
By the truth of the love that is my own style…
And by the love I show, my heart be proved!
I fan myself whilst clad in red and white attire,
A true lady always, like from a bygone age…
Longing for her beloved, to come and admire.
Yet I know not who it is, for I am not a sage!
I blush, redder than the maples in the autumn,
When I think of the passion I long to enjoy…
And the thought makes me so giddy just then!
So I work a spell, with art only I can employ.
Somewhere you will feel the magic I do work,
And that is when you will desire me the most.
Perhaps we shall meet through this odd quirk,
Of you reading my poem by some lonely coast.
Part Two: My Shameless Spirit
I am waiting, here at the path near my garden,
Waiting for you, and wondering, at the hour…
Like a ghost in a dream, waiting to live again!
Yearning, as I am, with all my spiritual power.
The world fades about me as I clear my mind,
Letting naught save a single thought, enter in…
This thought became a poem, that here I bind:
Into words that have formed from deep within!
I kiss the wind, imagining I am kissing a lover.
My soul is in that kiss, and my spirit’s essence,
Sent out unto the air, for your lips to discover!
Shameless, and yet I have no need of penance.
Do not forgive me for I am beyond redeeming,
I wait only for love: thusly my heart is purest…
Do not seek reason, for in love all is dreaming.
I am a slave to my hopes, powerless to resist!
Somewhere a flute is playing, and I listen rapt.
The bells of the shrine are ringing, as rain falls!
A memory of another time: a dear one, I kept.
I am listening for when love to me finally calls!
Part Three: Dark Lady’s Desire
Look within my heart, and see there: laughter.
See into my soul, and there behold the light…
Be with me, and be most happy forever after.
Let us flit like fireflies, making love in the night!
Be my strength when I am weak; be my heat,
When I cold; be my hope when I am errant…
So long as in the darkness, in love, we meet.
Bring the lantern, and let desire be given vent!
Lay the fruits of the season upon the tabletop,
Bring the drinks that are, the most delicious…
So long as you drink of my lips never to stop!
Let us feast therefore, and savor life precious.
Behold the cool of the evening in my blue eyes,
And let yourself be lost therein, and I in you…
I want to be your angel and soar on your skies.
So be my lover and let our dreams come true!
Somewhere a cricket is chirping and it is eve…
The stars will be out there, many and sparkling.
If in such a fair place, for me would you leave?
I am waiting for love, waiting and so harkening.
Part Four: The Music of Pleasure
Let the music play, and let us dance together…
Until the stars burn out and the void stretches!
I want to hold you and be held by you forever.
Let bear witness, each spirit that thus watches!
And when our passion is spent, let us lie still…
Listening to the fast beat of each other’s heart.
Quickened by love and strengthened by will…
Pleasure the canvas on which we paint our art!
But where is my lover and how shall I know…
When the mate of my soul has come unto me!
Will there be lightening or will the winds blow?
I need your love to show so that I might see…
What form or face, with benevolence to grant.
I have waited long and in silence I slumbered!
Awaken my spirit, and be my loyal celebrant.
Come to me amidst clouds darkly thundered!
Somewhere an angel is singing and I am she…
I sing, as I wait for my kiss to find a true mark.
Like an arrow, loosed from a bow of destiny!
Listen, for my voice, and in love’s name hark.

What beautiful scenarios. I love the fireflies, that flit together, making love in the night: as usual you are awesome, Jessica.

Thank you very much, Grace! I always write from my heart, from the depths of my soul, and I am glad that you and all my fans find my poetry so pleasing.
I love to go outside at night in the summertime, when the fireflies come out and the moon is high in the heavens, amidst all the brilliant stars. The beauty of such a moment is something I go back to in my poetry from time to time, as it is truly a sublime vision for me. I only ever wish that I had someone to share those kinds of moments with, a hand to hold or lips to kiss. But I keep the faith and keep the hope alive, reminding myself that it will be only a matter of time before the love I seek finds me. :) And in the meantime, I write and I share my dreams and feelings here at Deep Underground. With my dearest friends, such as you!
