Don't judge harshly
that which the soul
pours forth in its own discovery!

HOLD
Chasing jungles to the shore
‘Til above the sea the eagles soar.
Dreams survive, yet rivers cease to flow-
I’ll hold...
Onto visions once my dreams
Impossible or so it seems.
Ocean floor retreats some more-
I’ll hold...
Out for silver shores to wander
For a pure love I ache and ponder.
Is it you to search these eyes of blue?
I think then, I’ll hold onto you.

EFFORTS OF THE HEART
So I’ll run
Across Americas I’d run.
Around the Islands I would swim.
I’d cross any land or water
Just to be with him.

TO REMEMBER
I will walk through gateways of memories
Silenced beyond fortune’s waterfalls,
Driven blind by the sands of time.
Searching for the purest thought
I ride feathers of vast angelic wing.
Drifting on the currents of you soul.

THE EVOLUTION
Like a breeze that blows
As time descends,
Your name sounds off the sun.
How many times must I call,
Sounding love,
Until the sands no longer run?
Centuries past
A reality time can bend-
Our souls were one.
Another world, fighting darkness.
We loved,
But now we run.
An angel streams pacific tears
Calming distant seas.
Swimming in words of holy water,
He calmly speaks to me.
Wisdom rides the waves
Where soulmates find eternity.

TWIN SOULS
Time long past, we once were one.
A soul that Spirit created whole.
Lives of distance, yet parallel distinction-
Lead us here, in the recesses between our worlds.
Soulmate union, we shall now journey together.
Our of heaven’s door,
Into earthly bodies, our spirit’s pour.
Bodies sometimes distant, yet souls aligned.
Spirit touch we’ve missed so much
Is what we seek to find.

FOOD WILL PASS THE TIME
So you say there ain’t no man around
Got no one to hold you tight
Life ain’t servin’ up a soulmate
Bet a trough of cheesecake’d whet your appetite.
Girl I ain’t no stranger to those
Wheel of Fortune blues
Just say, Mr. Destiny will soon be mine
And until then, food will pass the time.
Just go on and defrost your luck,
You know its time to chow
Just grab a shovel and load it in
Or would you like a plough?
Mandolin solo
Sweet passion fruit ambrosia
Feasts upon your soul
And those Bill Cosby puddin’ pops
Really test your self control.
And for that moment of destiny
You haven’t gained an inch
Good thing coz he’s in line
When you order that bucket of coffee and fate sandwich.

OUR LAST EMBRACE
I can feel you heartbeat
Though I’m far across this land
And I can trace your fingertips
Just as if I held your hand.
Hey darling
I can still see your face
Even though it’s been so long
Since our last embrace.
I can feel your teardrops
Like the rains in my sou
And you know I’ll be there for you
When time makes us whole.
Bless the soul that I see
Beyond your eyes divine
And you know it’s your sweet smile
That makes my heart shine.
I can still taste your lips
Your kiss warm upon my skin
And you need not say a word
As I can hear you within.
Spring 1994
THE MEETING
Against the odds they met.
To each other’s sides they joined.
And with a smile,
They began again.
Time blind,
Souls aligned-
As if they’d never been apart.

THE NEW MOON
By fate’s amorous design
And guidance by the winged divine
We wandered into the same time and space.
You- your presence filled the air with warmth
And your peaceful eyes traced my glowing face.
The moon was dark.
Our journey here has been foretold.
As now your smiling face I behold.
Let our souls sing of sweet salvation.
I- I waited for your angel to come to me.
Inspiration from celestial visitation.
And the moon was dark, yet increasing in light.
I have been your love before
And so between our hearts the water of love shall pour.
The New Moon holds a power that unites you and I.
You and I- we radiate our own higher and Holy light.
As between us our souls unify and sanctify-
When the moon is dark.

NOW NO MORE
His lips spoke a sweet goodbye
And solemnly our souls caressed.
My face and brow felt cool
Now no more to my lover’s breast.
The seasons pass like midnight
And shift within these nameless hours.
With every delay, darkness prowls closer
And to my heart devours.
Now no more is our glory
Unless fate transforms us as I write-
Placing you soon within my path
So we may once again unite.
My heartbeat steals the silence
Each tortured moment takes too long.
Blessed future holds the man I adore,
But here my soul cries now no more!

FOURTH TOMORROW
Once impossible dream
Once imprisoned heart
Freedom-
Once gentle encounter.
Twice shattered hopes
Twice shackled soul-
Saviour-
Twice angels remembered.
Third time
Three times sublime
Lord-
Three prayers answered.
Fourth tomorrow
Four arms outstretched
Faith-
Four arms embrace.

ONE
Too soon the time will wander
When no longer do I hold your hand,
And Father Time will pass us by
To spread our ashes across this land.
So many prayers were answered here
As angels guided from above.
And on each of our encounters
We never ceased to feel His love.
Holy were the moments
When you walked within my soul,
And precious were the angels
Who sought to make us whole.
There are no forgotten answers
To any prayers from within my heart
And I remember every time the Lord
Gave me strength when we’re apart.
Though our distance makes me ache
My faith and love are real,
Though I know not where you are today,
Nor what tomorrow will reveal.
Still I know the Lord will smile
When our love outlasts the Sun,
Through distance, life and death
You and I are One.

UPON FULL MOON
Time shackles spirit
Lord knows it’s been awhile.
But this once thirsty soul
Is now drunk upon your smile.
Sweet intoxication
I begin to feel your presence.
My once forsaken heart,
You now swim within its essence.
Upon our next encounter
Earthly pleasures we will share.
I ache to feel your touch,
Upon my skin so bare.
Irresistible attraction
Allure of your caress.
Undeniable hunger
Until my body your arms possess.
Devouring darkness
Your soul reflects a light divine.
And though the moon is dark,
When full, you will be mine.

OUR SONG
Time finds us apart today,
Our yesterday’s tomorrow.
Distance favored the closer heart,
And left mine here filled with sorrow,
I know she likes your smile,
This love that you have found.
Yet, no longer at your side,
Still my love will be around.
Closer to your body,
She wakes upon your touch.
Yet here upon my pillow,
Your spirit rests as much.
I know I’m in your soul,
Though she’s the one you’re near.
Patience, power, soulmate love,
I stand in faith and have no fear.
Distance, time and angels speak,
With her for now you shall belong.
You need this time to love with her,
Until destiny sings our song.
