Promise to You
Ne'er the judgment of your pulchritude sent
Nor of the title gauged or ones value made
But of thine sweet inner passions scent
From soul to heart of deep desires spade

Reaching to the heavens with loving sigh
And from what lie within a soul so pure
But the capture of perfect lullaby
Which soar my heart into exquisite lure

To pine with pure of heart from soul within
Above and beyond thine boundaries thought
A love so precious to my sweet I send
Tis the bleeding heart of my chalice brought

With charity and faith adorned with trust
Shall the heavens heart beat in lover's thrust

Love's Truth be Wanting
In the sworded night of true lanced romance
And light of gentile cages guarded shard
A piercing word in flight of lovely dance
Holds the lyrics rapture in spirits bard

Can angelic wings more tenderly be
Than the captured scent of the heavens wind
With only the precious of heart be free
Will my love be truly spoken again

A glimpse of silkened beauty's face I seek
And in my sight of captured skin so rare
For the voice mine soul to no other speak
Beholding your beauty of perfect fare

So sweet is the sound my heart does bring
From the comfort of love's beautiful sting

Top


Reflection of a Man
What of mine eyes to desire your face
I'm captured true in heart by written phrase
Tis not beauty of sight that I embrace
But the silhouette of your soulful gaze

Not gray haired short or bald a matter make
For into my heart a friendship stands strong
Nor tall dark and handsome a journey take
Knowing you from within I shant go wrong

Hear me now you in gentle shadows keep
I shant be hungry for sight of picture
In completely loving your tempers sweet
Only thine heart of soul be mine allure

Be safe in thine shadow of love's fantasy
And in written words together we're free

Top


Passion's Swoon
Into the depths of mine lusting beauty
Let thyself feel the glow of lovers thrill
Upon the tide of my unbridled sea
With a smile, a smile of ethereal fill

Come into me with your passion of fire
Surrender yourself into loves embrace
Give me your strength which I desire
As mine lips covet with delicious trace

With thine hands dance upon mine body nude
And into the dungeon of your abyss
Let thine intensity of flight exude
Into erotic whispers of sexual bliss

Fare thee well who lay in love's sweet bloom
That you may fall into passions swoon

Top
Farewell
Tis the tormenting sound of his goodbye
Overwhelms her heart with deepened sorrow
In the sadness of her dear poets sigh
As the tortured heart has no tomorrow

She shall not grieve for thee lost in the pain
Yet wish thine soul of days soon harmony
And her tears that flow furious as rain
Die a part of her in his agony

Beckoning voice from deepened spirits brought
Sound words to her of tender sweet adieu
She beholding true to thine wishes sought
And with accepting heart will ne'er be blue

Sweet tender Romeo bare your heart ease
And sing lightly upon the heavens breeze 

Top
Tortured Heart
Thoughts do ramble within the tortured heart
Without you to console the worries which haunt
My life useless and without a cause to live 
Is this the day of all days end be near
As the ending seems so clear

Reality hits the heart with great force
It has ripped the soul of purities source
One truth is another ones lie
One life begotten now to die

Bitter sweet ending now descending
This time no pretending
To a life of love and happiness
Now lay sadness and darkness

Misery and everlasting doom
Upon the hearts hurt to loom
Does the heart turn to black
As breath never seems to full come back

Can it be possible my heart is lost
Will the tears of loneliness bare my cross
Will the feelings of emptiness last
What a life without love
Will it ever pass

With no answers in my head
I struggle with life of dread
In the consequence of this broken heart
Lies a heart torn apart
