"Saga"

Saga

I'm writing now the saga of a woman and a man

Within each other's hearts but not their arms

They wandered for a long and painful span

As they watched the man bring endless harms

For many, many lives, the pain went on

Reaching for each other and the dawn

Of life of love created by their kind

With soul that needs heart's learnings so refined

On the precipice, they stand today

Peering past this life to find the way

How many more before the loving comes

When hearts and arms respond to beating drums

"Thunderclap Too"

 Thunderclap Too

I've been trying to find a way through the course

Of twin obstacles of pain and remorse

For so many lives, I took on the load

Dismantle the twins, and all that they bode

The wreckage of life that we deigned to continue

Is all but demolished, released from within you

The tremble I feel is the tremble of life

Unburdened of all of the meaningless strife

Another, the fine culmination of love

That which I sought I await the taste of

When into the fires of the furnace I stride

The blazing of brilliance along for the ride

My patience has stood all the tests for so long

Just a little while more, and I'll blaze in that song

"Thunderclap"

 Thunderclap

I find I owe myself a debt

For passion's empty room to let

For just a little moment more

Before it's time to write that score

An instrumental symphony

In minor mode with heart the key

The minor notes for bittersweet

Of all the lives it took to greet

The heart and soul with joy is done

The way is set, the hurdles none

The burden gone that weighed a ton

With thunderclap and rays of sun

"Beginnings"

 Beginnings

As I gaze into your loving eye

All of life becomes a loving sigh

The answer now has come

The beating of the drum

Takes on a wondrous rhythm as the score

Moves on to cast all love as something more

The rhythms of this life take up the beat

The view of loving life described in heat

The fever of the dream of life is real

The cataclysms at my feet reveal

All of life is coming to the love

In shattering the sky from far above

I don't know how you do it.  I don't need to know.  I just celebrate it ... across eternity.

"Transcendence"

 Transcendence

I touch you lightly, gently with my lips

And all the world of meaning slowly tips

I set to make the love so real it bleeds

To let the senses trip, the heart be freed

Transcendence  of all life begins to spin

With sense of love's convulsions deep within

In the aftermath of your release

I pray this flesh on flesh shall never cease
