She was...

She was my first breath and my last thought
In our union I was reborn
Each moment like a new dawn
No perfect pleasure or absolute pain
Sensuous splendour no refrain

She was the ritual of my life
Beyond any mortal conception
Enduring love of mystical inception
Our reasons many our explanations few
A spiritual fusion of old and new

She was the secret to my completion
Surreptitious lover of the night
Rapturous beauty of naked sight
Gifted caresses to liberate desire
A radiant baptism of fire

She was the water that bathed my soul
A graced spirit of esoteric creation
United as one since mortal formation
Ephemeral alchemy in each embrace
Lingering memories of her face

A Moment of Regret

A moment of regret, cowardly flight
Uncertainty of soulful intimate delight
My life haunted by love incomplete
Happiness is fleeting, loneliness replete
Communities of longing await its call
But bound by our egos from grace we fall

This pervasive righteous myth of love
With rituals that maintain its rights and
Unspoken truths dangling in the night
Its dark and deep knowledge has no part to play
In our dreary day, too painful are its blessing
And so with unfaithful hearts we mess

But lust shames this hallowed grail
And frightened souls hide beneath their veil
Seclusion thrusts us into solitude’s arms
Whilst licentious nymphs wield their charms
We fear the look within fragile eyes
And solitudes exposed naked lies

No sanctity within promises broken
Ancient love acknowledged but unspoken
Love screams its unheard call
But we substitute normality for all
Silent thoughts nurture our original sin
False devotion incongruent splits us within

Weep for those who shy from its precision
For they abdicate hope and any decision
Love heeds not pleas to wait
For destiny is never late
Our senses eclipsed seek its union
Unprepared for soul’s communion

I am Mortal Now

I am mortal now,
Lessons learnt,
Humility earnt.
Limp love,
Passions jaded,
Extraordinary to ordinary.
Where was my solace.
I understand now,
Mortal flight mortal fright.

Generations knowledge,
Building tomorrow,
Power, wealth, glory,
Ancient blood long term sight,
Destiny determined,
Twilight.
Dreams squashed,
Colours faded.
Blind to wisdom,
Eroding knowledge.
I am mortal now.

Our Souless Torment

My passion is restless, fickle and free
Our heroes have fallen and flail behind
Scorned companions caught in my debris
Jealosy wretched consuming is aligned
To our social insatiable ids, forever demanding
Boundless egos march onwards
With loins shouting in our networks
Feast on me feed me take me
Limbo is lost and redemption mourns us

Our tragedies are tired
Our required humanity
spoken within hallowed halls plots
to avail us not from merciless fates
Descendent shouts mask our union
We were bred not born
Subdued meanings like mould passively spread
Technology whispers in our sleep,
Hard and edgy, brittle and sharp
Our insolent prodigal child
Conflicted are we over natures gift

Muddy, dirty and decaying
Our prisoned learnings hold us fast
Hail to truths glorious reign
Yet dogs we are, picking bones
Nurture, nature contempt to both
Furtive moments intersect our lot
Mashed and hashed, cracked amd potted
Lament not for freedom
For they have fled, we leave behind
Generations to come shall know our score
And our soulless torment

I didn't Know Love Well

I didn't know love well
Our paths never crossed
We never dated
No smudged kisses
No good nights
Our thoughts were of others
Occasional drunken glances
Lonely last resort chances

I didn't know love well
We were both alone
Common friends and faces
Glasses of wine in places
Shallow exchanges
Hollow and polite
No turning out the light

I didn't know love well
No letters posted
No waiting by the phone
No missing you no missing me
No lingering chemistry
I could see the beauty, the allure
But didn't long for more
All that is left is to pray
For we are strangers to this day
