Moonlight Lovers
half-moon hanging
between two lone stars
the night air filled
with the scent
of moonflowers glistening
white against the night
i feel like smoking
but i gave up
cigarettes
long ago
i think of the
endless evenings
we sat on the loveseat
out on the patio
talking half the
night away
and then made love
beneath the stars

Only For A Moment
only for a moment
as the rain
fell on my face
your body long and lean
played on my memory
it was winter once more
as we lay
in each others arms
fireplace ablaze
so far away that place
once was none as laurel farms
i was still
so unsure reaching
for you in the night
words so softly spoken
as your heart beat
close to mine
then the sun
came shining and warmed
the sand beneath my feet
as quickly as
you came i felt you
leave my memory

Since Then I've Gladly Come To Know
since then i've
gladly come to know
you cry, as do i,
at sad shows and your
fantasy life is
as rich as mine
i suspect we've
both wondered what
if we were curious
enough to try our
dreams on for size
since then i've
gladly come to know
you will not harm me
nor judge me for
the things that
i have done
and when i say
let us go slowly now
for once you've done
a thing regrettably
you can't undo it
you understand, nod
your head and say
'sure baby, i'll try'

Sometimes
it makes it difficult
to love you when you
withhold things from me
like you are keeping
secrets and things
sometimes
it is sad to see
you trying so hard
to be somebody because
we're all somebody
trying to be our best me
sometimes
we used to have such fun
you could make me
laugh till i had tears
filling my eyes
i understand you be ill now
sometimes
so many sad memories
floating in my mind
like how you stayed
out all night and
i woke up with an empty
space beside me in bed
i still think about those times
sometimes
