swept away
on a rush of emotion
thoughts spilling into forms
dancing the circle swirling bodies

hiding behind faces of stone

the rose so fragile in the moonlight
taken too quickly leaves her mark

blood warm wise living a tear descends
to the lips to taste the pain of truth


petals fall forgotten
love me
love me knot

love me
love me not forever

the wind scatters the words silenced

the night cradles the lonely

wrapped in tales of a thousand encounters

sleep only a doorway to vast landscapes

i travel softly i go on
