Carolina Moon

Only a sliver of a moon
dimly lit at twilight

Mirroring my mood of fading blue
wanton to take flight

Up into the rolling dark clouds
to stay for the night

Floating high like a lost firefly
glowing with the moonlight

Looking down from the Carolina sky
with the coastline in sight

I see everything clearly illuminated
in the quiet of tonight

turn the tide

He came in quite unexpectedly
Slowly opening the door of desire
Finding my well-closeted passion
Entangled in life’s barbed wire.

He gently coaxed out forgotten cravings
Setting my jailed heart afloat
Out onto an ocean of big love with
Sensual breezes powering my lifeboat.

He released the abandoned sensations
Of my passion once denied.
Now forever in his tender care
Drifting along together on a euphoric tide.

Some day

   

Inside THE Dark

I have heard from others
That they are drawn to THE light
I prefer to keep a safe distance
Remaining ever curious
Along the fringes of THE bright.

There are things in THE shadows
That intrigue me the most
Slower, quieter, harder
Stiller, deeper, sweeter
Things that do not boast.

I have heard from others
That they are scared of THE dark.
I want to wear it too often
Knowing full well
The silkiness of THE dark.

when it happens
you're never ready
IT jumps out of nowhere
FAST, twisted and steady

you are dazed
confusion continues
IT remains unfazed

you hold on with blind faith
there IS a reason and IT will work out
trusting that karma will rightly prevail
but deep inside your heart, you have doubt

you are dazed
uncertainty swells
IT remains crazed

all at once, IT becomes surreal
dreamlike time, not enough tears to cry
now only the TRUTH can fetch the breeze
for your injured wings to again fly high

you are dazed
there IS hope
YOU are amazed
