Mystic Scenes

and if my days fail to find you
know that in my dreams
you are everywhere,
reigning still...

The Great Ultimate

she listened to the conversation
but kept her thoughts quiet
letting them dance around in her head
smiling, as she thought of him
as she always did
during this time of day. her evening,
his morning
yet, it was the same time.
it was almost magical in a way
if you looked at it just right,
through the eyes of the smitten
through the lens of so amazing
how profoundly wonderful,
knowing that everything is possible
in this realm where we belong
this place of me and you
yin and yang...

Head Over Heels

we gaze upwards at the same sky
and I wonder, wistfully
are we thinking the same thoughts?
feeling the same smiles
around our souls,
throughout these miles that stand between us...

the beauty of your voice
catches me off guard
and I'm soaring inside,
flying high as I glide toward these fields of ecstasy
and this thrill of you and me

with you, it's all brand new again
these tender moments
quiet times
beyond sublime,
and I'm falling
head over heels...

Unconscionable

It’s this kind of
love, I want to know
more
about.
Won’t you share your life
and dreams with me?
If I asked in a very diplomatic way
would that naked question
stand out?

The mere thought of you
fuels an inner passion previously
placed aside.

Harder now
to decry,
With each passing flame
and scorching refrain
I press my way and yet
you,
fill my waking days with thoughts of
tortured sweet relief
for only two.
How can we deny
this delicious appetite
between me and you?

Unconscionable …

Observations

it's the little things
like kisses in the dark. that call
that shows you dared
to love again

laughter,
swirling around
each word and phrase.
shared

full
and rushing fast.
colliding with excitement,
his and hers

those little things.
how they mean
everything

(4.4.09.ajs)

Enamored

you move me

beyond mere words on a page
more than any other,
profoundly so.

I am thunderstruck

stirring me in ways I've only dared to imagine
each lingering caress
leaves me wanting more,

so enraptured I've become...

(3.27.09.ajs)

Spellbound

what is it that makes me completely stop
everything.
forget anything else
that's not about you,
each time we speak
I am in a daze,
enchanted ...

how does everything fade away
lose its appeal,
dim down to nothing
fade against the background of
no longer relevant,
every time I hear your voice?
mesmerized, I am

others, left hanging
are dumbstruck,
without words...

and I can hardly stop smiling
for this is exactly what I have often dreamt of
on those occasions I dared to.
and now
you, so alluring
me, beyond fascination
I am rolling in rapturous delight,
spellbound

Why Angels Sing

for in the gentle caresses of the ocean waves upon the sparkling sand
there exists this undercurrent of passion abiding
until it's appointed time,
the flowers bloom in that far garden
heavenly scents do intoxicate so!
trade winds bring them near
and I am alive again ...

like the whisper of a morning's kiss, the memory lingers
and I would be remiss if for no other reason than
to have one chance to taste this bliss,
so utterly divine a favor
I request and do send,
with wings to mount and fly away
towards that certain paradise that awaits
if only for a moment,
if only for a glimpse

oh! how the sun does shine and smile lovingly
across the land where the promise dwells,
the table is set as the banquet begins
as the universe agrees.
for this melody is so sweet,
and now I know
why angels sing ...


(ajs.02/26/2009)

Unconditional

as for me
I can adore you
with this perfect love
that knows no bounds
inside the confines of what we know as time
allotted to us here,
between this level of our destinies
the one we managed to share or did we seek
that open door?
to reach between and steal
just a little peek,
and yet, I am better
for knowing,
for we did catch a glimpse of those certain imaginings
as time stood
for you and me

this thrill
it is enough
and I am free
without a need
and will forever be
grateful,
for your love ...

I Still Believe

how can I forget
the promise of a million smiles
and laughter rich with expectancy
of you and me,
dancing under these swaying palms
waiting here,
so patiently ...

time stepped aside
each time we met
so glorious!
the angels sighed with great relief
with stars bowed low in the lunar sky,
paving the way
for us inside
that place of joy reserved,
preserved, for only two

I'll be here, my love
my heart light flames
around your name,
oh! how can I explain this ecstasy
this great imagining,
except to say
I'm yours
for all time.
I'm waiting for you here
I still believe ...

Our Time

and if our paths were to meet
on that day destiny decides to
bring to us
all that we've longed for
ever believed in.
would we be ready?
to greet that day with open smiles
and a willing heart
to step into
this time of us ...

or would we turn
and walk away
unwilling to receive,
fueled by doubts from lesser times
that never could believe
and why should we now?

misery does love its company
and craves at every cost
the broken dreams of unrealized scenes
to wallow in the fire
those catastrophic bleeds
it's all its ever known

how can we expect them to understand
this melody sublime,
of hearts and souls that sing this song
this dance of new revealings ...

(ajs.2.9.09)

Reasons

and if the flame dropped
rolled away and expired,
what would we do?
those of us still standing there
mouths opened wide,
would we turn and walk away
realizing we just died
or at least the passion felt,
no longer to abide
in the lives of those affected ...

would we simply wring our hands?
continue on that well worn path
now, without a reason to give
gone without a fight,
trudge along our every days
without a spark
to fuel the name of all that is
of all that makes us be

or maybe we'd beat our chests
and cry towards heaven above,
pleading for just one more chance
to find a reason to love ...

(1.28.09.ajs)

Destiny

what if I told you
this is our destiny
to be here like this
in this moment,
serendipitously
you and me

and what if you
are all that I imagined
trustworthy and true
everything I need
here,
me and you

across space and time
you came to me
on the wings of an angel
straight through heaven’s gate,
blessings unfold
let's not hesitate ...
