The Courtship
The lace-edged handkerchiefCame firstAnd then you sent me a singleperfect roseIt’s the twenty-first century andyou’re courting meLike it’s eighteen hundredand ninety-five
Where is the red-hot passionthey talk aboutWhere is the look so filledwith meaningThat it can bring me right to theedge of surrenderDizzy and steaming with heatand blind with lust
You’re one of the nicest menI’ve ever metBut…

Joy in the Morning
Joy in the Morning
One minute I am
Balancing my checkbook ~
The next I am standing
On a childhood porch ~
Smothered in pink
Sweetheart roses ~
Smelling like the
Dawn of all creation ~
I can almost feel ~
The delicate touch of the
Early morning air ~
Cool against my skin ~
It feels as if there’s
Birdsong in my veins ~
My knees and elbows tingle ~
In that one moment
It all comes flooding back ~
Those magic moments

Expectations
Following the sweetness of the blossoming
The fruit tastes strangely tart
Upon my Tongue

Colors of Love
My love is black ~ or so he tells me ~My adoring eyes see only sweet warm brown ~To match his eyes and complement his hair ~My skin is fair ~ my hair pale gold ~My eyes are blue or gray to match my mood ~And when we lie exhausted in each other’s arms ~Our limbs entangled and our breathing slow ~We make a lovely picture ~In the spill of moonlight ~On the bed ~

More Than a Fairy Tale
More Than a Fairy Tale
There were elementsOf alchemyThroughout the houseThe very air was filledWith mystery
And in the darknessDeeper shadows lurkedAnd movedHinting of mattersSacred and profane
Of secrets too long keptAnd far too dangerousEver to seeThe light of day
I don’t knowWhat drew me inHow I came to beStanding as ifMesmerizedBut I sense thatIt is timeFor me to go
But as I reach for itThe handle turnsAnd…

The Greatest Force
Love can make usFiner than we areTrue loveCan make usFiner still
“Love is patientLove is kind”They tell usBut they do notTell usThat true loveCan burn awayThe blinders fromThe lover’s eyes
Hearts and soulsFilled up with loveCrowd out allBaser feelingsAs the LightDestroys theDarknessIn its lovingWay
The only forceIn all the UniverseAgainst whichThere is noDefenseIs Love

Not Enough
My heart is crackingBreaking ~ shatteredBy the knowledgeThat I can’t unknow
The enemy has capturedOne of my belovedA child of my heartBut even soThe pain is as intenseAs if I’d borne her
There is no treatmentThey have no cureThere is no ransomWe can pay ~ this tragedyHas struck at random
My prayers are all I have(And my anger)But so often asI give control toMy higher powerSo often do I tryTo…

Unfair
You see me and you smileAnd just for one brief momentIt feels the same ~ untilI see the faint touch ofConfusion begin to formBehind your lovely eyes
It’s clear you know me thoughYou can’t remember how andI trap the tears inside my heartBut as I stand here huggingYou hello I realize I’m alsoKissing you goodbye
And I am angry on your behalfAnd I am frightened tooAnd I am lost without youWe’ve…

A Lover's Promise
We lie facing each otherGazing into each other’sEyes and feeling the feelingGrow until there is danger ofSome kind of cataclysmic event
Will you forget me you askWill there come a time whenI am not your first thoughtAnd your last each day andI am able only to reply that
Ages will passThe mountains will crumbleAnd I will turn to dust andBlow away a thousand timesBefore I will forget you

Womb to Womb
Womb to wombThe knowledge passesThere is no other wayIt could have been
Sisterhood is not a mythOr if it is it has achievedIts mythic size and shapeO’er countless generations
In secrets whispered bySmall flickering fires andPainted on the walls of darkCaves through the ages
Many of us they reviledAnd burned as witchesFrightened by our woman’sPower and our magic
And even now when we areAt a…

The Greening
A lovely SpringFoams onto the horizonWhere it shimmersFor a brief few weeksBefore disappearingAs quickly as it came
It leaves in its placeAn embarrassment almostOf greenery and a paletteFull of summer bloomsSo achingly beautiful thatI can hardly bear it
I have wondered often ifA person can die ofToo much joy ~ simplyOverload and expire ofEcstasy at the beauty andThe mystery of it all
I give my…

Of course this meansAnother stint in rehab ~Just one more of the…

Everyone Has a Story
Everyone Has a Story
I’m riding the train ~Listening unwillingly ~To overheard slices ofOther people’s lives ~
Hearing a painfulPrivate conversation ~Played out in theOnly time he can makeHis collect phone call ~

Her weeping breaksMy heart ~ and sheWill never know ~

Primal Thoughts
I know we’re meantTo take the journeyFor the journey’sSake alone
So is it weakness thatI yearn to get someRecognition or applauseFor what I’ve wrought
And why should I careI am noLeader of societyNo one is hangingOn my wordsOr ever will
But sometimes I am lonelyI’m only human after allAnd when the quiet isToo much to bear
I scream …
