Stargatekeeper's Stuff

Bound

Earthbound am I
Stranded on the shores of fate
I find myself desolate
My soul deserts my spirit
My body is an orphaned shell
and empty house
Where no one dwells.

 

Beyond the curves and contours
and the folds of shadow
Lies a darkness
that is illuminated
by the reality of life
We are birthed into doom
We are born into certain death
And our lives are the times we spend
Thinking up our wishes
and waiting for our dreams
until
hope
regret
dreams
life
and time are gone
Such is the gift and curse
of being human being.

 

Enchanted Fall

Summer Rain

Hope blossoms in my heart like Spring,

Until chilled by Winter's Night

And its mystery makes me shiver.

 

Hope hides death

only for a time

the inevitable sleep

comes to us all.

 

Listen
Lean in
Longing for lies...
Leaving out the truth is as good as a lie, right?
Let me hear the
Lies you don't say...
Lie again
Lily
Lie.

 

Oh for all the wrongs that I could right
Timeless now but out of time
My deadline, My expiration is at midnight
Without reason, I stumble on this rhyme
Oh for all the wrongs that I could write
But I wake to find
Myself sleeping, naked, crying
In the corner of my mind.

 

Further down falls my failing heart
Broken so badly it just might stop
I need some mending
I need some tending
Rescued only by a heart in need
Only then is my heart freed

 

The birth of love is a joy to behold
but even better to feel in your own heart
It fills you with laughter, with love for everything
and there is great promise in a brand new start.

 

The air you breath

freshens

The colors of nature

brightens

Anything not beautiful

fades from your sight.

When you're with your love

a touch, a glance

is more meaningful than words

Your heart explodes freely

and your body lets you know its right.

 

A collection of gems! I love "Bound" - I love the "orphaned shell", the soul the abandoning parent, the implicit decay once spiritual nurture has fled. "Lily Lies" is intriguing.... all are poignant, understated and beautiful.... Thanks - I'll keep my eye on you!

 

Thanks skinny.. still getting my collection out of mothballs.. I'll have some more oldies and some newbies on line soon..


Thanks again!!

 

*rubs hands together gleefully* Ooh goodie!

 

Impressive words, man!

 

what brightness you write in...

how i see this world in your colours
life and death change day night
all here in your words

love n peace from saff

to quote little skinny
a collection of gems.........

 

Thanks all... u r all sweet!!!

Couldn't sleep last night
Had to get up and write
it just came flowing from my pen
let me know what u think... again...

ok ignore that but read on...

 

Her scent, the breath of love
Whispered at dawn
and at twilight
whe bodies break under the weight of tremendous days
Into nightly beds, resting weary heads
and finding a hand to hold throughout the night
and its dream filled flight
in the warm comfort
knowing
we face the world and tomorrow, together...

 

We touch with our eyes
Speak in silent smiles
Whisper to each other's lips
Feel all the corners of our secrecy
Peel off our confidence
Until only trust remains between us
Allow my mouth to embrace you
Let me roll your thoughts around
on my tongue
Until you breath fire
on the embers that burn deep within
Let us be engulfed in the dance of the flame
that burns with high heat
then dies down
but glows
ever smoldering
just under the surface
Just barely under
control.

 

Those last two are cute....I especially like "Let me roll your thoughts around on my tongue".

 

Tell the tale of predator and prey,
How strange the dance of death does play
It's toy now a life once was
And how it does vamp until end has come.

 

Your beautiful honesty was felt, and your collection so far has had a wonderful impact on my morning! I particularly enjoyed Bound, Being Human Being, Lily Lies, and, when you're with your love. Night Flight and touch, speak, whisper, feel; were my favorites though, as I've been in a casanovic mood. Those two were pure pillars of mounting passion I found myself reflecting
