I STILL CLING TO YOU

 

I still cling to you

For fear of drowning

In your arms

I feel secure

But it’s an illusion

Its false security

Despite your deceit

And betrayals

I still cling to you

Instead of swimming free

Not for fear of drowning

But fear of being alone

THE WONDROUS BEAUTY

The wondrous beauty

Of your pale white skin,

That seductive landscape

Pure as exotic silk

Fresh as winter snow

And as cold as your heart

GRACILE

 

Moving Gracefully

Like a snow-white swan

On a glassy lake.

You came into my life

 

Like an angel

Descending from heaven

On pure white wings

You changed me forever

 

But your gracile elegance

Mesmerized me

And blinkered me

To your true nature

 

Because hidden from me

Beneath the surface

And belying the grace

You were no angel

SILENCE IN THE MEADOW

 

Silence in the meadow

As we lay amidst the flowers

Young lovers entwined

In the moonlit hours

When love is keenly felt

We succumb to cupids’ powers

But as night gives way to day

The love we feel is ours

LOVES FIRST STING

 

In my autumn days

I fondly remember

Loves first sting

And how my heart sang

Loves perfect melody

In loves sweet spring

HIS AIM IS DEADLY

 

His aim is deadly

When cupids arrow lets fly

No one can escape

AT THE NUPTIAL ALTAR

 

A girl in virgin white

An intangible essence

A trembling creature

Wantonly pure

At the nuptial altar

Bearing passions blush

Blooming on her cheeks

Belying her innocence

Her thoughts portraying

Through lustful overtones

The girls growing want

Then without regret

A kiss preludes

Innocent stripped away.

And a woman remains
