Starlight, Starlight

 Starlight, Starlight

Starlight, Starlight made of dust

Grant to me, the one I lust

Brightest light up in the sky

Bring to me the same light in my eye

Falling star, lost from grace

Grant one glimpse of their face

Burning in the black of night

Bring to me untold delight

Extra Mile

That feted face
That stunning smile
Hasn't been seen
In quite a while
__________________
It might not be my place
Or seem like my style
Not even my mein
To accept this guile
__________________
Bring back the grace
Leave off the bile
When joy is lean
Give the extra mile

To My Dark Love

Your hair is thick with chestnut curls
Your eyes with amber waves
I feel my life begin to whirl
I must be strong and brave
Adrift on unquiet endless seas
My mind begins to haze
The world is filled with a humming breeze
As time comes into phase
In your gaze, my eyes are caught
I fall and fall with grace
This lesson we all must need be taught
We will all find our place
Together the world seems all right
Falling in love in the dark of night

Continuation

Fly home to me
A call is too far
For love and sharing

Come here quick
The light will guide you
With grace and bearing

We can handle it all
The looks and stares
Our love we're declaring

Façade

Façade

We choose the face we show the world

And lose our grace as truth is hurled

Flung far and wide as others take

All our lives we live as fake

The price of love is what you pay

As all your friends you will betray

So we give up goodness sake

As our lives we live as fake

In the end the lie is real

As we forget how others feel

Then another heart will break

As all our lives we live as fake

Sad Eyes

Sad Eyes

The sad eyes sat in the corner so pale

Their soul, their sorrow showed

Remembering days of suns without fail

When they soared and feasted and savored

The knowledge showed in great detail

Falls from grace are meted

Hubris is a twice told tale

That often is repeated

Careful heroes never fail

But rarely are they feted

When inner demons rage and wail

Sad eyes will be entreated

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

Grace

Running Wilde

Heartbeats Calling

Something is telling me

To count now

Four, Five, Forty, Three

I’ve lost count

‘Tis a pity

How can I bare

To resist thee?

This visit must last

It can’t be a ruse

We must go into the light

Not into the darkness

Together

Is what counts

I feel as though

I am blessed

Amazed

With grace
