Vampire Heart Me

your voice at my window
calling me out tonight
in the city like lovers
though we were friends
for life

taking me by the hand
past the cars we ran
stop! you turn to me
kissing me right there
and then

eyes to got lost in
your lips bloodied
as you described
this far away look
in mine

don't let me go
be my baby tonight
bring me back to you
i want to be in
your life

The first time I felt loved

You thought I was perfect
I saw the stars in your eyes
When they looked upon my face
And traced every line

Fingertips fell on lips
Perfect you said and wished
That they were yours
And as long as we kissed...

Did you desire this forever?
Sorry you just were
Not good enough for me
I did not love you, no, not really

Not like I ever knew, so
Have you finally given yourself
To someone and won? It was you
Who was perfect all along

Cellar Door

i slammed shut the door of my heart
so hard when you left
that all the windows shattered

now you see right through
to all that really mattered

winds wrack a crouching form
shivered to the bone
part of him's just a lost child

who wants to feel safe
and not so alone

another winter without you
ended so I welcome light
this spring I'm rebuilding

life will fill complete
even with an empty spot remaining

tears are left here when falling
so there's always a spot for you
should you ever knock at my door

Of light hearts that day brings

Today I cried for hours
Those kind of tears
Took my stained heart
Until it was laundered

I daydreamed your face
Imagining the rest of you
In faerie wing and lace
Until you fully took shape

Here I told you good-bye
Feeling the magic fade
Storms lost their rage
My heart on display

Can you see it?
It's not as fragile
As it used to be
Finding friends again

And if you ever
Think of me sometimes
Smile, I'm finding happiness
Even if I'll miss you always

My Love, My Wife

here we are
with our legs entwined
a little planning
a lot of design
like a horizon
telling the sun
you are mine

this feeling
of a first date
my smile
searching for your face
i want you to want me
'til the pull of your eyes
has me amazed

by the fountains
holding hands in darkness
leading me to city lights
where we hugged and kissed
in the middle of the street
as hundreds passed blessing
our next ten years with bliss

Princess Adora

she walks as one with the light
her smile a warm delight
with a kiss that can win a fight!

angels don't always have wings
their pasts sometimes carry pain
but their hearts never carry strings

we love the eighties
we don't want to grow old
we are still just babies

among the purple cats
no longer afraid of curve balls
when life puts us up to bat

and instead we carry flowers
for she is in her finest hour
our lovely princess of power

Set your love on fire

I have become obsessed
With wanting to touch everything
Such an elegant fabric
To this clothes I'm wearing
My fingers do dream
Of that dark hair
You toss while turning laughing

The back of my hand
Wants to kiss your cheek
These lips wish to follow
Holding your breath with mine
My sight wants to capture
The smile of your eyes
So black they shine

To bring the stars down
And touch them all night
Recalling your childhood memories
I want to make them all mine
To touch your very soul
I know that it's shy
But love in time
