POETIC FACTS: Paradise Lost - The Art of Melancholy...




So long, so far away
So close, the sun's warm face
seeping through my window pane
drawing me home
to a far away land
never forgotten
But somehow, laid aside, by time's distant memory.

I woke this morning
Peeling upward blinds that keep you hidden from me
So long, so far away
So close, the sun's warm face
seeping through my window pane
drawing me home
to island scents and sounds

I struggle through tears
remembering the embrace of your morning sun
Nudging me now
Captivating my skin into rippled memories
of lush mountains and green-blue seas
A sweet island breeze
so long, so far away
So close, the sun's warm face
Smiling
Reminding
There is no place like home

Ah! To be in paradise again someday...
So long, so far away
So close to my heart
my island home...

LOVE FACTS: Sci-fi kinda Love...outta dis world...


Starry Night With Tardis by Terry Lightfoot

I'm gonna take you back in time
REWIIIIIIND!
to sublime thoughts of you and I
Our first kiss that made you high
Our first touch that made me cry
to know the day was here
finally,to hold a True Love,so dear
To be held by a love so true
To whisper the words 'I Do'
To hear those words said to me
your voice,unmatched, rang such sweet poetry
The day we vowed to love forever
was a day of honor
And as I look at my ringed finger
with heart troubled, mind clouded with tears
I remember the years
the journey we have made
The  sorrowful yesteryears and joy filled days
that have all played together to makes us who and where we are today
And I don't think I knew what Love was then, as 'I Do', now.

LOVE FACTS: Fingering about Love...

No-one plays the guitar the way you play my innermost parts
Not even Santana could pluck strings the way you do my heart
Nor could Miles have trumpeted as loud as my heart beats for you
rhymes for you
The music you play upon my Soul is electric
The cadence of your voice - eclectic
An instrumentation that fills me to the brim
I am in a trance - all out on a limb
Possessed by your love

...Ahhh...

spellbound
as I dance to the beat of your hips
Desiring to press upon pursed lips
begging to be devoured by their rhythm
Play me a song...

LOVE FACTS: My Valentine Dance...

Your eyes draw me closer in to you
Your hand beckoning me to where you sit
leaning confidently
at ease in the crease of the couch
I am afraid of your love
unsure of it's ability to cover me
to keep me safe
So I hesitate to react.
You move forward to pull me in
I step back
We are in a dance
a Tango
You pursue,
I withdraw
only to suddenly be yours
as the music of our hearts comes to a crescendo
Rushing me to your arms
I am lifted up
unable to resist
I need you
I want you
even more
as you wrap me up into you
pressing me against your heart beat
It plays like a drum to me
beating out a rhythm
soft and strong
my life-song
in a beat, beat, beat, boom!
I wonder at how I could have resisted this dance with you for so long
You are all that I ever imagined
and more
I love you, Lord.

LOVE FACTS: The aRT & Poetry of Love...and pain...

I wrestle so with memories long
Of times past and gone
Feeling you inside of me
Center of my Soul – love rhapsody
Did not know then the cost
Gave willingly my trust
by letting you into my core
Only to desire you more
while you loved me less
And I’m strung out on the mess
The mess in my mind
The mess that no time can heal
And I feel I feel like screaming!
My mind reeling
flooded
Soul muddied
by an inexplicable pain
This ‘thing’ we had forever a stain!
Sullied memories of love lost
Or was it lust?
And I don’t know how to leave it all behind
I wrestle then climb,
wrestle then climb
And still I remain in this pit
This dark and containing place where my Soul is split
Wanting to continue my plight
Reach up and fight
To breathe again
To love without pain
But so afraid of my memories of me and you
How to start anew?
…start with Love…
