sweet surrender and such... 3 for 1

bring to me

this




sweet surrenderthat lives within these shades of grey days of grey
days of grey

i come undone
when you're away
you're away
you're away...

sweet surrender
painful and sweet are you!
sweet surrender
is all i can do...

i come undone
each time your face meets mine
and we stand before this love
sublime...
i come undone

o' i dream
i dream
i dream

Until the spell is broken
 broken
 broken
all the while wondering if you're true...
true
true

if you're true...

do not take
from me that which is ME

let me always know and be at comfort
with the unknown

for we speak
we share
we commune
we devise
we plan
we exist
we acknowledge

the unknown does not frighten ME
though i have been known to frighten the UNKNOWN

for he or she knows of the Beauty
that i seek...

oh, if i were you my love
i would settle in to those feelings,





the unknown
has bequeathed
upon you
and in turn me...
to not bend with such
and dance with awhile, would be
ever so sinful
a gift as this should not be
ignored
forgotten
or displaced.

can't you see this love?
or does it simply
resemble all
others you have seen?
is it different?
something special,
something charmed and magnificent?!
is it ordinary
or extraordinary?!

is is unreal or real?
you tell me my love
lend me your thoughts, love

for mine are laid out like
a platter filled with feast
symbolic of the feast of the gods
that lay at your feet and mine...

shall we partake
what a treat that would make
but as long as we do not forsake

oh my love, where shall we go?
do we flee?
or simply lay it to rest
my love

oh my love

ohmy
love...
if i were you...

dance of Autumn...

the dance of Autumn
charmed by the crisp, cool air
alive with a musky
heavy laden scent of what's to come!

imagination dancing...                               flourishing...
                           preparing...
                          rendering...

challenging the senses
awakening the muse

airing of the stale, old, dead...
reveling in the newthat is illumined by the harvest moon

life quickened before its pending sudden halt
as it lays to rest at winter's edge
where dormant lies the earth
where souls retreat to regain

  mother earth will once again be at rest
yet, at this moment
Autumn's joy is felt
with visions of country churches whose steeples peek through
painted hilltops of gold and crimson
aglow with a morning mist; a veil delaying the day's entrance for just a little while longer...while pink swirls attempt to be seen, reaching out
morphing into skies rendered in vivid blues
till late day winds blow
churning skies of grey
tempting to wisk it ALL away
away...
away...

when ALL that is wanted
is for her to stay

Like lovers holding on as long as they can
whose stolen momentspaint the soul
 while holding...
to Autumn's final dance~
darling, do not go as Autumn doesas she bows once more before a standing ovationbegging an encore
do not go!stay, as long as you can
rest in these armsstay...stay...
let them embrace you like the shroud of Autumnembraces the earth
if only, for just a little while longer...
