I am an island in the middle of your ocean

Seeing you everyday

I feel the tides of your emotion

And I hear every word you say

You could engulf my grounds

You choose to keep your bounds

And the ocean whispers to the island not today. 6/81

If I were a flower

You would be the rain

Bringing me the shower

Attributing to my gain

Helping me grow. 9/29/81

You are the thought

That brings a smile to my face

A memory caught

And released to float endlessly in space. 10/81

It's fall and it's storming outside

I call for you in my sleep

Wanting you at my side

As the night air comes to creep

It makes me so cold

My mind is so exhausted

And my dream tells a story never told

When I awake I've lost it

Lightning sends a chill down my spine

The thunder loudness becomes too much

The wind howls trying to find

Leaving nothing outside untouched

The lightning lights up the sky

Tonight being alone makes me cry. 10/5/81

My eyes are sitting in a valley of tears

My heart in a valley of spears

I just want to run and hide

But where, I can not decide. 10/81

If I said, I wanted you

Would you come my way?

If I told you, I needed you

Would you stay?

If I told you, I loved you

Would you run away?

If I said these things to you

What would you say? 10/81

Selfishness betrays

Becomes an act

A common phase

A known fact

And it destroys love 12/5/81

Chariots and winged horses

Love has been the greatest story ever told

Fate plotting everyone on its courses

Watching warriors becoming brave and bold

For the love a lady becomes the fool

Fighting till death in a dual -- 12/6/81 3:00 p.m.

Love is like a river flowing

It may have rocky ridges

On the path it is going

Running into bridges

And having its fall

Never weakening never stopping

Until it gets to the dam walls. 12/9/81

Dying in a Dream

I look into the mirror

And see an aging line

I look a little further

To see what I may find

Behind me you are sleeping

So very peacefully

I turn to look in the mirror

And I don't see me

And I don't see me

I look inside my conscience

And ask have I done my best

It answers only once

And I knew the rest

We may not always been happy

There's no place I'd rather be

I must awaken to tell you

Tomorrow may be to late for me

Wake up, wake up I shouted

There is something I have to say

And when he finally awaken

The time had passed away

The time had passed away. Jan. 3, 1981

You are the light house shining your light

Of love over the dark and stormy sea

I am the ship lost in the night

Not finding a light to thee. 12/10/81

Star Calls

From dust to dust, death stalls

Living ones life, star calls

Peace in love, life and happiness

In touch with ones physic sense

Going beyond the suns rays

Existing to the planetary days

If one should reach equivalence

Then one succeeds in ones existence

From dust to dust like desert sand

To me, I am in total command

And to succeed one has its falls

And to know, one will hear star calls

Bringing one back to one's beginning

To the light, forever sending. 1/17/82

Love Blossoms

The dew rest upon the bud as upon my rest

You are wonderful to me if not the best

The full moon shining so bright upon our bed

I fall asleep and rose buds blossom in my head

And when the flower becomes full grown

And all the love that I have shown

There will always be more to give

For all the days that we shall live. 1/15/82

I am the moon that shines in the night

You are the sun that gives me light

see my phases

they are traces

of you. 1/15/82

Fear Suspends All

The first breath is fear

And so is the last

It suspends all when near

The present becomes the past

Can one survive the painful emotion

Fear of danger or solitude

Life in alteration

When fear over powers you

Fear suspends all

And all becomes everything

The most you can recall

Is death is better than being. 1/17/82

I know a man who walks in the shadows

Following an unchanged path, to darkness

Not knowing how far or where it goes

Or caring how mentally dangerous

Anxiety that was high now is low

Trying is left to lie in waiting

The heart and soul craves to know

But the mind keeps contemplating

If the question is never asked

Rejection is never the answer

And if the question is never asked

You will never know for sure. 1/20/82

Message from a whisper of a dove

His cup overflows with love

Actually he has a hidden sword

Using you till he gets bored

The sweetness will become tart

The sword will tear the heart

The cup now filled will become dry

Words of love is just a lie. 1/22/82

Apple blossoms

Growing on an apple tree

You go to smell some

And the blossoms are me

You think I'm beautiful

You touch the flower

I become fruitful

Green and sour. 1/26/82

Planetary Persuasion

It is a planetary persuasion

becoming a universal equation

Between the sky and the earth

A new relationship gives birth

Stars are their guiding lights

Moon bringing out other invites

Taking passion from the horizon

Their energy comes from the sun

Thru the cycle of days and nights

Is love under the heavenly lights. 1/28/82

I kiss your lips softly

The angels kiss your night

I hold you ever so gently

The moon holds you in her light 2/82

Tonight I am a weeping willow tree

Standing all alone

Feeling gentle words of the breeze

Mixing with my own

You are the breeze that touches me

Caressing me tonight

A moon so full shining beautifully

Giving us her light

I find your touch most stimulating

I sway when you speak

The night makes it all fascinating

Our relationship is unique. 2/6/82

Slowly Fading Away

Our relationship is in a shade of gray

Slowly fading away

And when it turns to black

There will be no turning back

You are the artist painting the color

Of a relationship being over

Every brush stroke and every line

Is darkening this poor heart of mine

My heart can not find much more room

For the color of gloom

Our relationship is in a shade of gray

Slowly fading away. 2/14/82

Starring out my window tonight

It is one of those nights I can not sleep

Outside the stars are shining bright

With the secrets that they keep

The stars know where you are staying

They can not even give me a clue

All they do is twinkle in their playing

How will I ever find you

I talk to the shadows outside

I have tried everything that I know

You are so hard to find

Thinking of you starring out my window. 2/20/82

You Are Love

You are my solitude

You are my diligence

You are my gratitude

You are my confidence

You are love

You are my patience

You are my aspiration

You are my conscience

You are my satisfaction

You are love

You are my sorrow

You are my pain

You are my tomorrow

You are my gain

You are love

You are my anticipation

You are my challenge

You are my foundation

You are my change

You are love. 2/17/82

I am the moon an enchantress of the night

You are the sun a light of truth and insight

As my rule I am powerful in a passive way

You are a winged sphere incandescence of the day

I am receptive, reflective and of consort to you

I hold the wand of dreams, magick and love that is true

You are penetrating and radiant when you kiss my lips

And we become a cosmic complement when in total eclipse. 3/3/82

A Cursed Tale

Sometimes I think my love was damned made

Gave birth somewhere in the depths of hell

Becoming a satanic trade

Just to become a cursed tale

Testing the heart's tolerance to pain

To see if loneliness could cause you to die

To see if love could drive you insane

Or if it only makes you cry

Lord why was I blessed with love as an adversary

Sitting like a black widow in her web

Having love becoming such a burden to carry

With the tide of emotion becoming ebb

Why has not my love been a contented bliss

As beautiful as a full moon in the night

Instead of being kissed by a reptilian hiss

Overcast by the shadows of demons in flight

The goddess of fate has me on a blinded path

Always seeing love where there is none

Then illusion becomes a reality with wrath

Every time I fall in love with someone. 3/13/82

Whispers of the Wind

Her love shines like the sun shining upon the earth

Her love shines on you all day long

The wind whispers in its silent breath

Her loving you isn't wrong

Even when the night is filled with stormy weather

She finds her way to you

Sometimes love may not always be forever

Her love is to you. 5/30/82

Angels tears are falling down

Is the dew upon the ground

Seeing a love that has lost its way

And has not left one shining ray

And as the sunsets

One forgets. 6/24/82

A trying love grows and reaps

A dying love cries like a willow weeps

And sometimes time does not pacify

Blind roads have dead ends

No matter how it curves or bends

And sometimes time does not justify. 6/24/82

I looked for love at the end of the rainbow

And you know

The colors took me for a ride

Every cloud has a silver lining went to find love there

Looked every where

Found no love on either side. 7/7/82

Turn the pages in walks love, turn the pages there love goes

Creating the highest high and the deepest lows

Love has beauty like that of a yellow rose

When love withers, the thorns pierce the very soul. 8/5/82

Nothing can hide the color of lies

They shine as brightly as the highs

Of being in love. 8/31/82

The sun sets and the night's hour of darkness comes to creep

The earth's multitude of colors fades and falls to sleep

In my deepest sleep, you fill my dreams with rapture

Released and detained into the subconscious capture

I am drawn to your peacefulness and what your silence implies

Drawn to you looking at the colors of the storm in your eyes

The only explanation I have found in all my nights of wonder

Is your beauty is magick and that is the spell I am under. 10/31/82

Loving you is a feeling one can not explain

I am sure there is a reason some where to be found

A feeling like lightning during the rain

Touching the heart like it touches the ground

Why it happens when it does is left a mystery. 10/82

My love goes farther than you can see

Unless you can see endlessly

My love bears the reflections of the most precious stone

Shining with the beauty of giving, never to own

Through trial and tribulations time has proved

My love is a mountain that cannot be moved. 12/82

When the storm arises she is in search of

For the only man she could ever love

She rides on the sound of thunder

Looking for the man who left her to wonder

Her love is the lightning separating the sky

The formation of the clouds are her moods asking why

Her voice is the winds asking in her want to know

The rains are her tears for the love that left years ago. 2/83

I soar through time in its own reflection

Having the power of vision seeing through love in deception

Fly with me... If you dare to follow

To the dimension of looking back on the tomorrow

Deception clouds the diamond that is symbolic of your love

She is a serpent hiding behind the beauty of a dove. March/83

Two hearts becomes a seed that grows

Two hearts share the beauty of a single rose. 3/83

You are the rose I hold in my hand

You are its fragrance in memory

Are you finding it hard to understand

Why is it, this is how you are to me

You are my love, you are my energy

The beauty I see is only to me. 4/83

He may be the man in my dreams there is a likeness

He may be the climax that leaves one breathless

He may be the warmth that brings the blossoms in the spring

He may be the love in the songs the angels sing

He may be the storm that stirs the seven seas

He may be the calm at the most a gentle breeze

He may be the inspiration behind the creation of fine art

He may be the beauty that excites the poetess's heart

He is the beauty held captive in a heart woven tapestry. 7/16/83

Love is a beauty like that of a rose

Until the thorns pierce the very soul

Yesterday's sorrows

Are today's tales of woe

Mourning nights and seemingly no tomorrows

Is the heart's scenario. 7/83

If our love should fold or fall

To the point of not existing at all

Is because where I painted the calm

You painted the storm

Love rocks without an anchor

And will sink for sure

Laid broken on the bottom of the ocean floor

Like a lost treasure. 3/4/84

I guess it is senseless to prolong the agony by not excepting the goodbye...

With useless talks and anger and the wondering of how and the why...

The one that goes can not know how the one feels that is left behind...

The emptiness, the sleepless nights and the qualms of the unsettled mind....

Nothing seems to justify the ways and or the means...

Nothing pacifies the loss of the hopes and the dreams...

Cherished moments had, would of been cherished moments kept...

And I would of been the one you would be coming to- not the one you left...

My feelings of love for you will go on longer than you will ever know...

Because how I so strongly believed, it was easier to love, than letting go...

6/9/84

It took ten months to go from heaven to hell

My heart once filled with love has become an empty shell

You see the intensity of my anger from the hurt and confusion

Now maybe you can understand the intensity of my love in profusion.

3/25/84

Like a spiders web love intertwines

Not any two are exactly the same

Like a snow flake in its designs

Like a candle's burning flame. 6/26/84

I am a child of fate

Daughter of the night

My predominate trait

Is insight. 7/2/84

You were once my brightest light in my universe

When it came to giving love you were my first

Your light has now casted upon me shadows

And the heart has tried to escape the sorrows

You still shine but the brightness has faded

The beauty I once held... Darkness has invaded

And love was traded for a taste of hell

And the feeling is all mine and only mine to tell. 8/15/84

My love is without doubt

This is what love is all about

My love is with trust and sincerity

To believe - you will find serenity

Loving you holds highest precedence

All other men are shadows without essence

Shadows can not sway - there is no substance

Love without doubt does not fall to circumstance

My love and my word are both given with honesty

And time will show you what you now... can not see. 1/12/85

Love is of the sixth sense

Priceless

Given and taken without substance

Words cannot express it essence

A translucent bliss

Portrayed by the touch, the kiss

Outer lust? Nonsense

Inward oblivious? Yes

Given falsely - treacherous

Given truly - timeless

To give and be given to - happiness

To equally share is harmonious

A God given promise... 2/25/85

The soul captures

Through the eyes

That which can not be seen

Only felt through feelings

That which can not be touched

Voices of the mind

Creates thoughts in silence

That which can not be heard

Until written, and read

By the one it is given to

That which the soul first felt

Creating the thought. 2/14/87

"Love-Lies-Bleeding" is a book I did of 500 plus poems in the 1980's. Eve
