Lovers

Lovers
I see about me
stars of destiny and hearts of love
entwined by magic threads
of passion and desire
so strong
they weave through space and time,
through appearances and circumstances,
through common sense and moral constraints…
it seems as if nothing can impede
the penetration of such potent energy
into the continuously created
fabrics of our lives.

Once We Were Lovers

Once We Were Lovers
Once we were lovers in the pale blue.
Long, long ago in the dawn of time.
Beyond the mists of memory…
Beyond the mystery of time and space
that in cloud and darkness surrounds
our hidden origins.
That buried memory rises up
even here and now
as true love will…
That death-defying love.
That truth that rams its head
through every obstacle in its path
’til it reaches its heart’s goal.
