shall our worlds ever become one?

no more secrets held from those in our lives or from ourselves?
no more sleepless nights or tears as our paths carry us apart?

closed doors opened at last to each other
to hold you in my arms while standing among kindred spirits and kin without fear of discovery
to sit beside the fire and share time with those who have only been names for so long
to walk a path together you have walked alone

i long for that day

to lie alone in wonder as the moon makes her journey into dawn and the taste of your kiss swiftly fading is torment in its purest and coldest form

lover, let us replace torment with paradise
let those in our separate worlds dwell in curiosity as we walk the night as one

let me take from them that which i so desire
i would embrace their precious treasure which is you before them
those eyes that find me alone day after day finding something new
finding us

my majestic muse, allow me the honor of one world together

there is but one dawn for each day
let us share them all

my muse dances again

she is not the fea, though she wears wings of gossamer to carry her among the branches throughout my grove
she is not the dancer i have dreamed her of being, though her enchantments dominate my soul time and time again.

as a gypsy she is unchallenged
as a muse she is unmatched
as a lover she is unchained

she dances on the edge of oblivion, tempting a fate of her own design.  closer and closer to the boundries of my existence she spins, daring my unmoving soul to follow, fully knowing that as stone i cannot
this path is hers and hers alone to walk
with each note of her song, with every move, she moves ever closer to a reality without stone

she is neither of this world or the one beyond

her joy is a sunbeam
her rage a tempest
her kiss fills my grove with vibrant colors
her love escapes words

she rides the winds of an autumn breeze high above me.  her dance is as erratic and spontaneous as a child's delight.  never allowing herself to touch ground or green for longer than a heartbeat, never allowing her flight to bring her any closer to my soul which she has ever been a part of

her dance takes her to the brink of nonexistence and draws her near enough to me to feel the heat of her breath.  the wind from her wings take the dust from my form and her love carves me free
the light of her eyes begin to reveal me for what i am
amethyst purifies my awareness
while iolite lights my mind's eye
alexandrite gives voice to my dreams
as the Apache's tears keep my thoughts from wandering
and jade binds soul to grove

is it i that is ethereal and untouchable
or is it reality that is but a phantom

my muse returns
and i will be free

i guess you remembered why you turned away

so many soft words spoken in the dark turn to forgotten memories as dawn breaks

promises lasting only as long as i hold you close

i no longer want to be that secret you fear being discovered

i no longer desire to stand outside of your realm, awaiting the shortest of moments in which you may cast your eyes my direction

i long to hold you throughout the night, keeping you safe from foul wishes and nightmares, keeping you warm as we lie flesh against flesh, satisfying any and all of your carnal desires and most innocent needs

it is wrong what you have done to my soul, the enchantments i feel when your song is heard in the night, beckoning that i shall dreamwalk beside you among the mysts hand in hand.

twice bitten but no more

stand beside me or fade to black, my muse.  i tire of the game that has just begun anew and i will not be cast aside at your whim. 

i am not the fool you take me for, though the stars in my eyes may make me a liar

i know of your sins and trespasses.  i know of the tome of lies you have penned.  i know that i would be a fool to return for one more kiss

i am flesh again as the autumn breeze invades my once beautiful grove

i will return to stone when the time is nigh
