Once I Loved You
I loved you once as deeply as any man could Will
and, if the darkest truth were known,
in my heart I love you truly still
Though the distance that lies between us
may seem so very far apart
space and time will not unbind
the aching, raging heart
So farewell my love and lover once
and, as lovers ever true,
we will live and laugh and love again
like lovers that are new

Ashes to Ashes
Love sick,
Love torn,
Love lost,
misplaced trust,
not in God,
but in us,
in I and you,
what was lust
turned so quickly
to earth scorched
red as angry rust.
There ain't no God, Mister,
there ain't no God,
but those who believe
believe in what they must
until that final day
when boxed and earthed
we will return
ashes to ashes
and dust to dust.

The Kiss
the kiss shouted passionately
you anguished tenderly
we kissed a placid mouth late
a desire loved us
the flower cuddled the languishing kiss slowly
she anguished desperately
a breeze anguished
the nice kiss anguished
a misery danced for you
the stormy love shouted tenderly

like no other love before
in your your eyes I see true love
on your lips I taste the sweetest kiss,
a long lifetime of waiting
is the smallest price to pay
to find the one and only love
who loves and is loved
with full and equal measure
to stroke your long dark hair
and to caress with tender gentleness
your velvet skin, white, soft and fair
disarms and leaves me helpless
boundless with emotion,
a raging...
