Jump

 

Adjourn my heart to yours

Take care and lift me in

To dwell inside your flesh

A home.


We don't need to sign the blues

In our impetus love

Only die so we may live

Breathe deep

Take my hand

Jump.

At Home

 

Take all the pleasures of this world

The flashy cars and latest styles

Front-row parking and youth-filled vials.

For me?

Give me the flash of her smile.


Take all the peaceful moments in a day

A luxurious bubble bath

A shady chair and Grapes of Wrath

For me?

Give me the pitch of her laugh.


With all that life can promise me

In success out my front door

Today I'll take the joy and motherly pride in store

At home.

Weak

 

Like the resilient surf

Beats violently the shore

So does a lover's fist

In absent blows

Yet meek voices whisper

Desperate prayers

Consoled in arms

Now wet with tears

Which administered the scars

With the years

Despondent hope now

Sallow, empty sockets.

She cries

Then dies.

My Love

 

An ubiquitous fire encompasses

A diffident soul,

Exulting passions yet unknown.

Be still my heart,

Press gently on my lips and

Give me breath

My love.


Graceful turns on measured steps

An evanescent duet,

My Lead and lover in minuet. 

Be still my heart,

Spin your dance for me and

Take my hand

My love. 


[1998]

P.S. I love you

She dared not open her lips to speak. Her mouth was already full of his name.
