Leny RooversA losing race you're running, love, why not give up a losing race? False promises you can't embrace, they leave you with an empty cup. Your prize is one last, bitter sup- a losing race. ----- As Angels Weep As angels weep their tears are caught in sky-ships' holds. As angels weep, Aeolus herds the ships like sheep, his breath unlocks the flock, unfolds the dancing sails, freed from tight molds, as angels weep. ----- As lightning strikes As lightning strikes its fiery forks lick skin, ignites, as lighning strikes. As voltage raises higher spikes my body is an arch of light, it radiates into the night- as lightning strikes. ----- Behind Closed Doors Behind closed doors we cry our tears in touches missed. Behind closed doors, where once our blood and passion soared as hungry hands searched, bodies kissed, sweet love was recklessly dismissed- behind closed doors. ----- I celebrate I celebrate my love for you, in every phase I celebrate. If passion flowers in soul-mates, soft glowing embers spring ablaze; when love shines from your eyes in praise- I celebrate. ----- I close my eyes I close my eyes and feel your heel against my shin, I close my eyes; my body curves into your thighs- our blending skin brings harmony within. Your arm feels warm against my chin, I close my eyes. ----- I hear your call I hear your call. Across wide seas and continents I hear your call. Soft whispered words keep me enthralled as heart-strings echo your laments; we'll build a bridge to still torments- I hear your call. ----- I'm breaking down I cry inside; because I feel I've let you down, I cry inside. Behind high walls I fled to hide my tears, I laughed and played the clown- the world would not accept my frown; I cry inside. I'm breaking down the self-protecting walls I raised. I'm breaking down, to dare new roads beyond this town that kept me in a shackled state; I'll hold my head high, shut the gate I'm breaking down. ----- Meditation I turn within- When silence reigns inside my heart, I turn within. I feel the breeze caress my skin as in me chants of mantra start; I hear them blossom, then depart- I turn within. I turn within. Each repetition I behold, I turn within as slowly barriers grow thin; my thornless rose gently unfolds, her inner light a shimmering gold- I turn within. ----- Migration's Dance Against grey skies my sky-ships stately dance and flow against grey skies. As flocks of birds cry out, arise in playful dip and turning show, dark shadows of cold winter grow against grey skies. Migration's dance is in birds' blood, can’t be denied, migration's dance. They're bound to follow, take their chance and cross both sea and land in glide to winter's pastures that provide- migration's dance. ----- Our Dice Are Cast Our dice are cast; in time we'll know we win or lose- our dice are cast. Grown by lessons from the past, life offers us a chance to choose and cherish purple autumn hues. Our dice are cast. ----- US Open Game, set and match. A love game, followed by a deuce- Game, set and match. As players run and try to catch each well placed ball, there is no truce; they do their utmost to produce game, set and match. On every smash spectators rise, recite their names. On every smash they watch each serve, then dive and dash; unbeaten, only one remains- his name and face is put in frames: on every smash. ----- With touching feet~ Sukhãsana With touching feet my knees form wings, as butterflies with touching feet. As wingtips kiss the floor in meet, my elbows rest upon my thighs; in concentration peace may rise- with touching feet. back to list |
