As the silk now shrouds my shaking body
I move into the light of the radiant sun
A skeleton from my dark past reaches out
And with fear I am frozen, weighing a ton
Veiled in grey to hide my beautiful hair
Sad tears of denial fall from light eyes
Oppressed in man's world; a time so unfair
Simplicity reigns king forever disguised
Sins are kept locked by a key of destruction
Red Lipstick hidden to paint seductive lips
In these dreams I dance as a majestic queen
Shaking to the drumming with undulating hips
Kings enter from a nomadic land of my youth
A vibe given off says "innocence betrayed"
Holding on tight as I wrap tighter the veil
Chagrined blood would take place if I swayed
Pandora's box remains locked below ground
Death would be certain if it were revealed
So I move away from the fire burning inside
This Pharaonic dance be forever concealed
Convergence
A seraph, perched
Atop an opaline moon
Honey tears bleed from crystalline eyes,
Falling; tumbling stardust
To nocturne zephyrs; insubstantial.
Darkness is no stranger
Nor secret here; cryptic truths rest
Behind the reflection (quivering)
Of dissolved memories.
Trail of saffron scintillas
Disintegrating into amber snowdrops;
Star-kissed notes, trickling
To meet the night.
----------When an angel cries...
Aurous veils, glimmering,
Windblown from eastern skies
Liquid sound spirals in a golden chalice,
Falling; tumbling star-song
To nebulous landscapes; ethereal.
Magic is no stranger
Nor secret here; hidden hopes sing
Within the warmth (trembling)
Of melted fantasies.
River of golden dreams
Cascading into brilliant light;
Sun-kissed hearts, rising
To meet the dawn.
