Golden Chimes

Softly I turn to your eyes,
Burning with love...
How true this all feels,
Destined to do so much more.
A path from above awaits,
Talk of it does it no justice. 
To the pealing of golden chimes,
Alone I kneel, together we rise.

Swear

I'm drowning in your eyes
I burn at your touch
No longer able to breath
Should have sworn
By something
That could have hurt me
It felt irreverent
To swear our vows
By each other
When we never have
We never will have
Couldn't possibly be
Together

The Burning and The Cold

The burning when we touch
The cold when we part
The hollow remains
Of my once beating heart
Pulled into pieces
Remade and reborn
The endless circle
Of love and forlorn
The distance and the silence
The closeness and the peace
One day it will vanish
Patient cares will cease
Till the stars finish shining
Till sun and moon go out
Hold me here beside you
My love never in doubt

Comet

Oh my bright and burning star

Some would stay you’re falling

It’s just that you blaze so radiantly

The Earth has turned her back on you

You have a path, a steady course

Returning to give us bliss

Never altering your initial trail

Although we may not see its plan

Some may see a heart of ice

Some may see a trail of fire

I see a journey half completed

And the future yet to come

Wondering

Wondering

I’ve lost my footing along the way

I no longer hold my head up high

Would anyone wonder why?

Whether at work or at play

No longer able to throw cares away

Ever wondering why

This has to be the way

Life is lived in brief spans

Mine seem to be mainly tired

Longing for holding of hands

Filled with a burning desire

But eminently lacking in plans

Ending in a gulf of fire

Human Nature

Human Nature

The burning of desire

The banishment of grace

The fall from heights so lofty

That it tangles with men’s fates

Aestheticism becomes you

And chastity is best

It’s hard to get in trouble

When you simply want to rest

But now to take it further

And heavenward and more

To be pleasured by the punishment

Attracted by blood and gore

We always take it too far

Can’t stop at satisfied

Heaven forbid we stay at even keel

Though it’s been a lovely ride

Extinguished

Kiss me a thousand times

Let me feel your lips against mine

Hold me gently

Brush my hair back

With your elegant fingers

Light my way into the night

Spiraling even higher

Soaring on gossamer wings

Pulled into ecstasy

Burning with passion

Then

Extinguished

Taste

A taste is all you receive

Too much turns sour

Only a brief tease

Never enough

Only a shining moment

Burning so hot

Fire volcanic

Then burned out

Go before it is begun

Oh Candle,

Flame brightly!

But never seem

As though you

Have been lit

Obession vs Adoration

Obsession

I can’t tell why I like them

It’s an indescribable need

It’s a burning fire

I fixate on little details

I can tell you everything about them

I don’t want anyone else near them

I know every appearance

I see their latest movie but I don’t remember the plot

I threaten others if they violate their space

But if someone else comes close better to make them feel insecure

Because I feel insecure myself

But they’re insecure right…

I swear they’re winking right at me…

I think I’ll go see them

It’s not like I don’t know where they are…         

Adoration

I love the things you do  

You make me better everyday

Learning more about the best you are,

Helps me discover 

More about the person I want to be

Exploring new avenues of learning,

Expanding my mind

By the breadth of you

No longer needing to hide

The light in you brings out the light in me

I read an article today about celebrity obsession and thought I would do a side by side comparision poem.  The difference between the two, in my mind, one is about how “I feel”, the other is about how the celebrity influences the writer.  Just my little contribution to the debate about Celebrities and obsession.

Rampage Unbridled

Remaining just out of reach

Longing

No longer a requirement

But a burning raging fire

It feeds itself, growing

It no longer can be controlled

Who would want to stop this inferno?

Let it burn everything to the ground
