Two Poems

Two Poems

As I place my hands
On each side of your waist
Gently moving down
Across the curve of your hips--
I find myself in a dark forest at night
Following the sound of one bird singing
Singing to me of a dream
I let fly away from me,
Escaping from my life to be free,
But now it has returned,
Charmed by your beauty
And by this touch upon your hips
In this night of quiet ecstasy.


Two Sisters--An Alchemical Tale

I marry a prince
He shines like the sun
A cup, I overflow with radiant love

I marry no one
No lover, no friend
Alone, abandoned
I taste disgrace

When night comes
Darkness is my friend
A time to unite
A timeless sea of ecstasy
The songs of dawn
For us rejoice

When night comes
There is only emptiness,
Shadows, cobwebs, cellar doors leading no where
I am silence
A bell without sound
Never stuck, never rung

I flee
I know not--
They send noble knights in search of me--
I wander forgotten, forlorn
Despair is a face I wear

The royal couple ride out
For me they call out
But I am lost
Their search I know not
Down forest roads and narrowing canyons
I sit by a mountain lake
I await a dark fate

Two white horses stride
There where the sun does rise
For me their love abides
The tide turns
Love returns

Who tells this tale?
Which sister cries
Tears of sorrow
Tears of joy?

One marries the sun
One marries no one
But in the end
The lost is found.

In the heart, the same darkness
Is a story of loneliness
And a song of love.

Hello Pyrhums :)
I liked the poems :) The first one was quite...errr...steamy? lol! Reminded me of a lost love returned.
The second one sad. It reminded me that in the end, all relationships are temporary. We all say goodbye whether it is by death or by one lover's choice. It all hurts either way. So we have to live, love and enjoy people in our lives while we can.

Blessings to you!
The trees reach out as silent witnesses always willing to listen to your troubled heart. Nature offers her ears to anyone who speaks into the omnipotant silence. There are places that wait for you. You are loved....you are wanted....you are cared for. You are not alone.....you are not alone.....you have never been alone.
