Untitled Opus

I look at you and see the warrior that you are,
the man-child.
Old soul...yes...so very old
yet younger than the first rays of the sun upon the dew.
Untitled Opus

I hear your words and your voice
I sense your power and the arrogance
that is the man that you are
and I tremble wanting to know you.

A piece of me tells me to go carefully
be wary...do not trust.
My gypsy soul says to me
dance this dance...
Raise my arms to the silver beacon that lights the night sky
and allow myself to fly.

Have our souls known one another?
Have I slept in your arms
in a time and place that came before now?
Have we faced the dark that is within and conquered it
or have we been mortal enemies
warriors in battle.

I long for the romance that was in times of old.
Seduction.
In a time when seduction was more
than just a grasping in the theatre
or a struggle at a door.
When men knew how to win the hearts of their ladies.

Have you seen
La Belle Dame sans Merci?
Will I be your Enchantress
or will you Enchant me?

Strong noble warrior
You have battled your own demons
and won against them.
What path brings this crossing of stars?
What dream was dreamt that manifested you?

Fire King...Ancient Watcher
Gabriel of the West?
Raphael of the East?
Who are you?
Why have you come?

I await this dance to see where it leads,
what the day will bring.
And with this last thought,
I leave you to gather the petals of the rose
and drink deeply of its nectar
Sip the silver tear that courses down
a downy cheek.
Then when you lay in your bed
and dream.
Dream sweetly
and sleep...my Love...sleep
