My Work from February 2003

I saw you standing in the startling ruby sunset
I realized how beautiful you are to me
and if we are preoccupied with passion
is it for the moment
you will always be beautiful to me

Is it an illusion that I dare doubt
we climbed our pyramid to the stars
embraced the dawn with our fears,
our joys, our flaws...

we learned they were carved
in the ancient statues worn down
by heavy rains and desert winds

can we withstand such assaults
and remain stand side by side
to watch the startling ruby sunset

You will always be beautiful to me

bentfeather


I was your shadow
not aware of your pain
you could have told me
trusted me with this
why did you deny me
why do one of us
have to be the shadow

in your shadow I drew
succor from you

that was the illusion that I dare doubt
it was your pain
that I was your shadow

bentfeather


In your absence
my hair turned to silver
I am old
you have not changed
your shy smile
your wrinkled brow
are still endearing
your strength has not waned
your muscles grown flabby
the strong laugh
so full of life and youth
you are the epitome of chivalry

If you wish click the last rose...

The above song is cut short, I have no idea why? :-(

I liked that last one, the best of the three.

The roses were a nice touch, too.

you have not changed

Your face remains the same
The only difference I see
are the smudges
from where I have kissed
your dear picture

Your body is identical
It fills my mind
in the same loving way
your sweet curves
filled my hands

Your voice remains
Singing as a seraph choir
filling my nights with song
my days with joy
and my heart with hope.
