yet it has happened
Though it has been stolen
by unkind deceptions
before you ever came
For this reason, I am wary
Having been torn from my bosom
so many times before
I have kept careful vigil
That I might avoid that
Cruel little death I so abhor
Cut by jagged foul blades
so cruelly and insipidly incised
Obsidian rending flesh
while I screeched in ever
increasing and unyielding pain
So mortally damaged and deranged
I locked and barred the portals and edifices
Of the bashed and battered
mound of now pulpy flesh
That none would do such harm again
and then came a gentle rapping
and a kindly yet urgent voice
sweetly singing at the barred
and barren portal so ensconced
NAY say I, none shall ever
be worthy of interloping here again
No more injury could occur inside
without imminent death of being
Off with ye, none has trodden lightly afore
Still, I heard a tapping
and the sweet singing
that was present here before
and now words can be
heard within the gentle song
aye tis another grand deception
thought I, one more cruel trick
with which to mortally flay me
But this entreat was different
it came with a ring of truth
No bold professions of everlasting
and undying falsities
And as I listened, these words
were different than all before
there were no if's or but's
maybe was never uttered
Clear and untroubled it came
expressed in simple words
honesty, compassion, hope
Intrigued by this
I threw one bolt to better hear
Naer once did I hear the one word
I had been fooled by so many times before
Caring, kindness, healing
I heard these, for the first time
And for the first time, sensed
A simple profound truth within
Locks opened, the door inched
apart a fraction that I might hear
"I will not hurt you" and even though
these same words I'd heard before
The gentle manner in which they
were expressed, was unheard of
" I will heal you if you let me in"
" I know who you are"
What is this? None came close
to this before.
The chains dissolved,
locks, door and all turned to dust
I was understood
I was healed
New Love
by Firewerks
Soft as the springtime my love that is new
Warm is her river of Love coursing through
Her gentle sweet spirit swept down into mine
Mingling and mixing and roiling through time
So strong and deep this current it flows
Into our hearts, our passions, our souls
Two riverine paths now joined into one
Bursting up bubbling and rayed by the sun
Waft ever downward, the rivers so wind
Cooling, caressing , Loving to find
Merge of our spirits, setting hearts free
We'll dance together, down to the sea
In My Heart
by Firewerks
When first I looked into your eyes
matching April's evening skies
I knew you even then my dear
before you spoke a word,
you were in my heart
When I first held you in my arms
breathing in your female charms
I knew you even then my love
before you touched me
you were in my heart
When I first kissed your tender lips
and placed these hands upon your hips
I knew you even then sweet grace
before you kissed me
you were in my heart
When first we lay together then
And both discovered sweet soft skin
I knew you even even then dear lover
Before you caressed me
you were in my heart
When pyramids come tumbling down
when mountaintops crash to the ground
We'll know each other to the end
Before we loved
we were in each others hearts A life mostly good, but sometimes blue
And on rainy days when I'm feeling down
Just knowing you're there, brings me back around
Every day that passes when you're far away
somehow it seems so tinged with gray
I know you'll be back, as your heart is mine
Knowing you're there, makes me just fine
Someday soon back here you'll be
and in each others eyes we'll see
while we were parted our bonds grew
Just knowing you're there, says I Love you
