Sealed with A Kiss

I try to steady the drumming of my heart

as I wait to catch a glimpse of you

though I know my feet are on the ground

I feel like I’m floating, too.

My hopeful eyes seek you out

a desperate search far and wide

I cannot stop the longing I feel

this ache for you down deep inside.

 

At last I see you in the crowd

as I watch you drawing near

I try to gasp for precious air

as I enter your celestial sphere.

 

My heart it soars on feathered wings

it’s so hard for me to breathe

I pray your eyes will drift to mine

and finally take notice of me.

 

I gravitate toward your beautiful soul

like a moth drawn to the flame

I’d give up my wings for the chance to hear

your sweet lips whisper my name.

 

The ground disappears beneath me and time stands still

as you lift up your handsome face

I tumble headlong as our eyes collide

and I know that I’ve fallen from grace.

 

The connection is instant, our hearts entwine

drowning in a sea of bliss

we step into each others arms

and seal our fate with a kiss.

YOUR FIRE, MY HEART’S DESIRE (reblog)

Speak the words that ignite the flame

and without flinching, nor a sideways glance

though my heart does tremble, for you I wait

as your fire prompts my feet to dance.

In painful consummation my voice may wail

and down my cheeks tears leave their trail

yet I will trust in you forever without fail

your fire strengthening my heart so frail.

Though mortal fear seizes my hopes and dreams

and I cannot see what is after the end

the light of your fire is a lamp for my feet

the consort of pain my teacher and friend.

Oh search me, know me, and cleanse me with truth

fanning passion for your purging fire

all my pearls and flaws too, I lay open for you

I will stand still in the judgement and not expire.

For your strength I desire, and your heart I require

all that makes me your own

keep me alight with your flame of life

so much glory to me have you shown.

May I be counted worthy and true

a jewel set in your crown

through trial and turmoil, wickedness and strife

may all my words be a pleasing sound.

My earthen vessel I’ve emptied, now offered up to you

fill it to overflowing, and send me out into the night

a quest for my King, a message to man

my battle armor ready, I stand willing to fight.

I close my eyes and breathe you in

your face is all I can see

I invite you inside, my lord and king

rest your fire upon me, make known your decree.

Though shadows fall, and terror descends

I stand here before you, I will not flee

steadied by your words, I will trust in your love

as I watch and wait for your glory.

FOOLISH HEART!

The smile on my face falters and vanishes

like the sun chasing away the remnants of morning mist

The shattering of my heart inside my chest is a searing pain

a terrifying audible sound in my ears…….

The cold, empty room banishes any lingering warmth

I had left to feel,

my warm body traded for the coldness of a corpse.

I stand there and stare at you

the shock of your words vibrating through my bones….

There is nothing I can do to stop the panic I feel

my breathing so harsh it threatens to consume me in blackness.

At this point I could turn and walk away, but I can’t

I am rooted to this very spot,

 afraid to take my eyes off of you….

afraid you will disappear with the blink of my eye.

How could you turn on me like a venomous snake,

an unthinking, unfeeling beast?

Have you come to destroy my heart and soul?

Was it your plan from the beginning to steal away

the biggest, most vulnerable part of me?

Righteous indignation now swells to bursting in my veins….

my eyes narrow and glower at my target,

fueled by the raw, aching wound of your betrayal.

I am now an unwilling captive of of this torment…

yet you stand there unscathed, unharmed and unaccountable for your actions.

I tremble with rage as I walk toward you,

but freeze before I can strike out at your face…..

I am gripped by the very love I have for you,

the love that is now a perverted, twisting plague that I know will devour me if I cannot escape it…..

It isn’t fair…..

It isn’t fair…..

You give me that small smile that used to make my knees weak

but now only makes my guts clench, making me ill….

For I know I shall never turn in my bed to see your face again

smiling at me like some beautiful angel

as the morning sun shines through the window on your face…..

No…..I cannot forgive you….not now, not yet…..

and no I cannot accept you back into my arms,

though you say you are truly sorry and profess your love…..

Where did this get me before?
What will come of me now?

Though it kills me and goes against everything inside me,

I turn and walk away…..

Away from the one person I ever loved more than life…..

My mind knowing I must get away to protect what is left of my heart,

to try and seek healing and somehow survive this…..

My heart begging me to stay and pull you in my arms, to comfort you in your regret…..

FOOLISH HEART!

I falter in my stride away from you and turn to glimpse you

one last time…..

But you are not watching,

you cannot even look me in the eye.

My heart twinges in pity and love for you and I hate myself for that…..

Just when I feel I will go back to you,

I turn and run as far and as fast as I can,

not daring to stop or look back again…..

I WILL SURVIVE….

SONG OF MY SOUL (reblog)

There is a song that is written just for me

I hear it playing, crooning so beautifully

it strums over my heart igniting my soul

restoring the passion my enemy stole.

Sizzling sound waves lap me in sensual lush

my blood pumping forth in a dizzying rush

purging my mind from worldly dissent

cleansing a heart that was utterly spent.

The melody ushers in delightful sensation

worships my body in it’s godly creation

with me sharing secrets that have never been told

my hips sway in rhythm to a ballad of old.

At one with the music that graces the night

I dance with my heart and all of my might

conjuring the elements in breathless desire

all the earth burns for a taste of my fire.

I dance here below but am joined with the spirits

their presence so close to mine I can feel it

I am ushered into their ravishing power

In return my euphoria on them I shower.

Muse, where have you gone? A lesson.–(reblog)

Oh muse, my muse

where have you gone?

Without you I become mute

my words are withdrawn.

An empty sheet of paper

and pen in my hand

I sit and wait to hear

and try to understand.

But the words are locked away

shut up and sealed tight

My mind in constant struggle

just to get one sentence right.

Not feeling like myself

from empty paper I look away

a tear of frustration slides down my cheek

my thoughts too battered and frayed.

This empty paper

stares back into my soul

is it there just to mock me

my despair it’s only goal?

Oh muse, dearest muse

I long for a touch

I need the release of my words

I fear this is just too much.

A prisoner of my own tongue

Oh where is my creative spark?

With wings it did soar and left me behind

the light in my mind has gone dark.

But I guess it’s times like these

that I’m forced to contemplate

to examine things that need tending

till words return to a mind abate.

So it’s not only the destination

the importance of the journey I now see

I just needed some patience long enough

for my spirit to sing and guide me.

Now it’s not just an empty paper

but a canvas to hold words of gold

a masterpiece of my choosing to create

a story of love from my pen to unfold.

Right here and now I know

my muse did not me leave

she quietly waited inside of my soul

another journey’s lesson for my heart to believe.

First days of Spring

tears fall from brown eyes

as rain pours from the heavens.

Haunting Glory (experimental no edit)

 This was NOT in any way edited. This song played as I wrote, setting the ambiance in my environment….. Here goes…..

All encompassing, a buzzing in the chest and mind,

the body as in post coital glow,

the nerves played as musical notes that hum throughout in discordant harmony,

settling over the body in a blanket of warmth,

swelling the heart, losing the spirit,

breaking open the stony dams that withhold the strength of deep rushing waters……

A terrifying humility that comes in the presence of the culmination of all things,

a reverence so deep the pressure forces one down, dropping them to their knees…..

Fear and adoration whisper through quivering lips,

hearts cry out while trembling bodies press low their chests and cheeks to the ashes scattered along the hardened ground.

OVERWHELM ME…….

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! ~ ‘A Thousand Years’ + Haiku

Haiku:

Eyes meet and lock across the distance

a connection stronger than time

found at last, fated lovers come together.

~ Celeste ~

Lyrics to song:

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehowOne step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Destiny

Pristine white wings, dipped in blood

not marring their perfection, nothing could.

A wicked twinkle in endless, loving eyes

passion burning bright, no way to disguise.

A hand reaching out to touch across worlds

the magic of desire seizes and unfurls.

Enthralled and flushed crimson, staining soft, ivory skin

to want someone so deeply must surely be a sin.

A song of love yearning, a fever in my veins,

lifting arms to capture, if just a tiny strain.

Powerful notes through the universe surge

birthed from the flames, two souls emerge.

Immortal eyes to mortal ones, lock in surprise

a connection so strong it ignites the skies.

Oh that the world were a merciful place

that I could but touch his lovely, burning face.

Gazes hold with conviction as two hearts quake

reaching for the other, afraid for the moment to escape.

Like Icarus that flew too close to the sun

helpless to stop it, in desperation I run.

Consumed deeper than need, all earthly cares I shun

with abandon he hastens to me and destiny binds us as one.

Lightening strikes all around, energizing the night

as our fates were sealed together by love at first sight.

One Little Candle (reblog)

There isn’t enough darkness in all the world

to snuff out the light of one little candle.

Robert Alden

Betrayed

When fear nurtures scorn, evasion belies

the truth of the muse’s heartfelt cries

erecting fragile walls in turn

what sweet bridges were now slowly burn.

In sluggish form my steps retreat

shame hangs the head and drags the feet

silence devours, feeds the soul’s endless screams

demons torment the sacred place of rest and dreams.

A chord of pain escapes and drifts through the night

a desperate prayer uttered with no strength left to fight

seeds planted with no warmth to grow

dies in the ground with no life to show.

Behold the garden of weeds and lies

no more see the blooms reach for blue skies

Twas here we made our promise and spoke our vows of love

our orchard now neglected, echoes cries of mournful doves.

The heavens turn gray and she opens up wide

forlorn, I stood there in the rain and cried

prayed in vain for the water to wash away

the painful scourge of love betrayed.

~Celeste~

Be Bold

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Groovy kind of Love

For the man responsible for my healing heart…..every smile, every look, and every thought of you fills me with peace and happiness…..thank you for giving me the gift of true love and showing me what it means to really live life.
I will love you forever, long after death,
and whisper your name with my last dying breath……
I love you Jeremy…. ♥

When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When you’re close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can’t control the quivering inside
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When I’m in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don’t care
Wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh
We got a groovy kind of love
