It was the key that led me beyond my life of forgetfulness. It brought me out of my amnesia, my blindness. I now hear the wind, it's voice calling, it's message clear. I feel the rhythm of the Earth beating in my very core reminding me of my beautiful humanity and my purpose. With every heartbeat, every cherished breath, I am alive.<br><br>
Though it seeks to supplant me, undo my dreams, it is no match for the power of an awakened spirit. This plague, this reminder of human frailty will not take me without a fight. We are what we make of ourselves above what the world imparts upon us. I refuse to submit to its guile. This cancer, borne of an imperfect world will now know what it is like to come eye to eye with a soul of the Earth.<br><br>
Born of love, faith...dancing in the wind, basking in the glow of the setting sun, awash in the waves of reflection. This diagnosis, this ephipany no longer my weakness, but my victory.<br><br>

As I walked along the garden path<br>
moonlight entwined with mist<br>
I spied a rose laying softly upon the bench<br>
sealed sweetly with a kiss<br><br>
I've seen it lo,<br>
these past two months<br>
when night quietly descends<br>
My secret lover these<br>
gifts doth bring<br>
my passion's fire to tend<br><br>
I do not know my admirer's kiss<br>
his touch nor his embrace<br>
Yet I live to feel his love alone<br>
imagining his face<br><br>
To one night upon the misty moor<br>
engage in love's delight<br>
Realizing this my only dream<br>
to have my love in sight<br><br>
This love as a sweet red rose<br>
vulnerable, fresh, new<br>
Would cover him til morning's light<br>
mingling with the dew<br><br>
How come he to know of me?<br>
To tease me with his heart?<br>
Inspiring such passions yet unknown<br>
such longings in the dark?<br><br>
I sit alone red rose in hand<br>
holding it to my breast<br>
Praying he is watching me<br>
his love to be confessed<br><br>
I bring my lips to kiss<br>
each delicate petal as they fall<br>
I feel a presence<br>
my heart be still<br>
as I long to hear his call<br><br>
The gentle breeze caresses me<br>
as it carries forth my wish<br>
To have him come to me this night<br>
to steal me with a kiss<br><br>
I see a shadow against the moon<br>
he speaks declaring his love for evermore<br>
He is the man I always loved<br>
but silently adored<br><br>
We lay as one beneath the garden wall<br>
our secret ours alone<br>
Our hearts now one<br>
our love transcending all we've ever known<br><br>
Now each night as twilight falls<br>
as the moon beckons soft and tender<br>
My admirer-my lover<br>
brings me one red rose<br>
and his sweet surrender<br><br>

Tears...<br><br>
For innocent love that springs anew...<br><br>
For love ending in the grey dawn...<br><br>
For passionate hellos...<br><br>
For bittersweet goodbyes...<br><br>
My time on Earth made richer and fuller by experiences that touched my soul and shattered it.<br><br>
All culminating at this moment - this final moment as light fades and fills my consciousness with a new light that will never die.<br><br>
For all I have learned of love...<br><br>
For all yet to learn...<br><br>
For senses heightened by desire and longing...<br><br>
For sweet solitude shared in moonlight...<br><br>
Play on sweet music for love, for beauty, for us, in tears... jmJMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747173002704507245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18531664.post-7739977659730308992014-06-04T18:35:00.000-05:002014-06-04T18:53:14.532-05:00~Indulgences~<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAdVuDwOztfTW7It8Mz4oXjIVrFpYMNIBuDh3Ov3_prJuP_wehQ0BjJ-htK7ptj8auz5jo4nI_ptiTnUu7qWc-6gtml-84D1KudIm7dhBMBPp091l1vk4UCItprvQkveRJ6nTW/s1600/kinuko+craft_calendar08_12_jena.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAdVuDwOztfTW7It8Mz4oXjIVrFpYMNIBuDh3Ov3_prJuP_wehQ0BjJ-htK7ptj8auz5jo4nI_ptiTnUu7qWc-6gtml-84D1KudIm7dhBMBPp091l1vk4UCItprvQkveRJ6nTW/s400/kinuko+craft_calendar08_12_jena.jpg" /></a><br>

Hold me in your love<br>
let the rose petals fall<br>
upon my skin<br>
as I touch those places<br>
deep within your heart<br>
and drink your soul within<br><br>
Indulge me in the pleasures<br>
of my wicked fantasies<br>
for my desires are most real<br>
though I feign modesty<br><br>
Enveloped in soft satin<br>
the night as velvet black<br>
my heart yearning to love you<br>
and never again turn back<br><br>
For you are the manifestation<br>
of a lifelong reverie<br>
I am but your fulfillment<br>
take me unconditionally<br><br>
Let us not be bound<br>
by Earthly supplications<br>
we are our own destiny<br>
we must make our revelations<br><br>
Indulge me in the pleasures<br>
of a passion undenied<br>
for one night alone with you<br>
refutes the man nights I've cried<br><br>
Hold me in your love<br>
let the rose petals fall<br>
upon my skin<br>
you are my despair's ending<br>
and where eternity begins...<br><br>JMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747173002704507245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18531664.post-82535473480234881742014-03-14T19:35:00.001-05:002014-03-14T19:38:37.588-05:00~Pearls~<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQeXXARJRgs5fIBB6HOoSsZGOvsHYXlvasvw0M0HUoEPWegx5Ag09XoMoWvAx_1mJYgBq2KtzXP1pcULA7XaECAyP1pdH_OH8epyN1MlEfFGjkSg5k0aK-BMEL3icCT_1Pg1W/s1600/thumb_pearls.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQeXXARJRgs5fIBB6HOoSsZGOvsHYXlvasvw0M0HUoEPWegx5Ag09XoMoWvAx_1mJYgBq2KtzXP1pcULA7XaECAyP1pdH_OH8epyN1MlEfFGjkSg5k0aK-BMEL3icCT_1Pg1W/s320/thumb_pearls.jpg" /></a><br><br>
Creamy white perfection<br>
Silly, smooth<br>
Strung in endless circles<br>
Upon my skin<br><br>
Each one representing<br>
A year spent in happiness<br>
An outward expression<br>
Of the love he feels within<br><br>
Young and in love<br>
Each night a fantasy relived<br>
Making love under the stars<br>
Wearing nothing but his gift...<br><br>
Years passing quickly<br>
Our love multiplied by two<br>
With hope and trust enduring<br>
Passed on to love so true<br><br>
This day another promise made<br>
A vow to be forever one<br>
A time of celebration<br>
As we gain a son<br><br>
These circles of white perfection<br>
Silky, smooth<br>
Now strung in endless circles<br>
Upon her skin<br><br>
To make new memories<br>
Share new dreams<br>
Untouched by age<br>
Trusting in the love<br>
That brought them to this stage<br><br>
As we gaze upon the couple<br>
So happy and in love<br>
We remember those nights<br>
Spent in young passion<br>
As we celebrate the future<br>
With the moon and stars above.<br>

You and your pretense<br>
Your airs of perfection<br>
Your feigned concern<br>
Using my feelings to hold me to your will<br><br>
You think you are irresistible<br>
You claim to be brilliant<br>
Yet, you are ignorant<br>
Of what true love really means<br><br>
Sitting on your throne<br>
Expecting people to bow to you<br>
Thinking love is all about<br>
Your satisfaction only<br><br>
You pushed aside my love<br>
You spurned my loyalty<br>
You gave me nothing in return<br>
For my everything<br><br>
Years spent thinking only of you...<br>
Loving you...giving you my all...<br>
Just to find you never even cared<br><br>
My energy expended...my faith shattered...<br>
My heart, broken<br><br>
So what now?<br>
Am I to continue the charade?<br>
Continue giving you all my heart can hold<br>
While being invisible to you?<br><br>
No.<br><br>
Truth has been my salvation and my pain<br>
The truth that you only love you<br>
That you have been blinded and bought<br>
Stripped of what once made you beautiful...<br>
Of what made my soul long to be part of yours<br><br>
How sad that for you in the end<br>
All you will have is your reflection<br>
Empty of the presence of one who loved all of you...<br>
Unconditionally<br><br>
I, now swept away in a tidal wave within forever...<br><br>
Broken.<br>

I gave my love a bright red rose<br>
As we watched the falling snow<br>
We embraced within the shadows<br>
Underneath the mistletoe<br><br>
Carols in the distance<br>
Reminded us this night<br>
Of the reason for the feeling<br>
That makes our hearts so light<br><br>
For on this night of wonder<br>
So many years before<br>
Came to us the gift of love<br>
That all the world adored<br><br>
Twas then the revelation<br>
Only this season can impart<br>
Gifts of wrap and fancy dressing<br>
Are no match for a loving heart<br><br>
So we walked amongst the trees<br>
To a clearing far below<br>
Where we heard the songs of Angels<br>
Beneath the stars aglow<br><br>
We stared in abject awe<br>
At one star amongst them all<br>
That had a special brilliance<br>
As to us it did call<br><br>
Bells rang as the trees swayed<br>
In the incandescent light<br>
As we gave to each other the greatest gift<br>
On this very special night<br><br>
Then we knelt and prayed under that star<br>
For the Babe in swaddling clothes<br>
As we laid the rose upon the ground<br>
And our tears began to flow<br><br>
For we realized the splendor<br>
Of the true gifts from up above<br>
Laughter, joy, friendship<br>
Passion, faith and love<br><br>
We will remember all our lives<br>
This night spent in the snow<br>
That he was the gift that yielded love<br>
As the winter snow yields the Rose.<br><br>

Softly he passes by<br>
His perfectly shaped feet<br>
Caressing the ground he walks on...<br><br>
His body firm, smooth<br>
Glistening against the reflection<br>
Of the river bank where I lay, waiting...<br><br>
The scent of honeysuckle and hibiscus<br>
Fill the air<br>
Intoxicating my senses...<br><br>
My longing for him intense<br>
As the noonday sun...<br><br>
Slowly I rub oils on my skin<br>
Anticipating the ecstasy that awaits...<br><br>
No other thought, only to please him.<br><br>
At last, he comes...<br>
We lay among the flowers<br>
Two lost souls now become one<br>
Lost in each other...<br><br>
My dreams of a thousand years<br>
All fulfilled with one embrace-<br>
One touch-<br>
One kiss...<br><br>
Apples fall from trees above us...<br>
We eat of them-<br>
Succulent, juicy, sweet as his love...<br><br>
I pull him towards me again<br>
My longing insatiable...<br><br>
He comes into me, into my soul<br>
My heart, my essence...<br><br>
His movements as one with mine-<br>
His mouth soft upon my skin-<br>
His hands firm around me -<br><br>
Our pleasures immeasurable...<br><br>
As the summer breeze and waning sun<br>
Give rise to the moon and stars<br>
He takes me again in his arms<br><br>
With whispers of his longing for me<br>
Filling the scented air...<br>
We melt into the velvet night<br><br>
Never to be seen again.<br><br>

Stormy skies across the sea<br><br>
Dark, forboding, mystic...<br><br>
Haze shrouds the moon<br><br>
Anticipating the impending squall<br><br>
Winds exhale, waves thrash<br><br>
Keeping him from his love<br><br>
His lonely heart still filled with hope<br><br>
That this voyage shall lead him home<br><br>
Yet desire cannot quench<br><br>
the thirst of an angry sea<br><br>
It tosses his dreams<br><br>
overboard into the depths of despair<br><br>
Gasping for breath<br><br>
he calls for God's mercy<br><br>
to save him from this fate<br><br>
Swirls of violent blue summon him<br><br>
as he calls out his beloved's name<br><br>
Blackness overcomes him<br><br>
as he falls deeper into the abyss<br><br>
Yet a strange calm<br><br>
overcomes him as he fades away...<br><br>
The song, how beautiful<br><br>
how lyric it's tune<br><br>
Is it his beloved<br><br>
calling him?<br><br>
Nay, it is fate<br><br>
leading him to this deserted shore...<br><br>
The siren's song<br><br>
the Seductress of the deep<br><br>
Calling him so sweetly...<br><br>
Is he to be her victim<br><br>
her bewitched<br><br>
her lover damned?<br><br>
He must think only of his love<br><br>
Of her hair as the golden sun<br><br>
Her eyes as the stars in the heavens<br><br>
Her lips sweet as red wine<br><br>
He sees the Nymph's illusion<br><br>
as she pulls him into her dimension<br><br>
Her beauty unsurpassed<br><br>
Yet her heart decayed<br><br>
He must not give into the seduction<br><br>
It is evil though like nectar to his tongue<br><br>
His desire strong as she kisses him<br><br>
His passions rise his thoughts not his own<br><br>
How strong be his love-<br><br>
the remembrance of her face?<br><br>
Will it conquer his mortal lust<br><br>
and defeat the executioner's song?<br><br>
A keepsake floats before his eyes<br><br>
The locket he was to give his love<br><br>
His soul renewed he takes it as he pushes her away<br><br>
surfacing to meet his true destiny...<br><br>
The Siren's powers now vanquished<br><br>
by the strength of a loving heart<br><br>
She retreats to her watery grave<br><br>
to curse him no more<br><br>
His beloved greets him as he awakens<br><br>
Shipwrecked for days...was it all a dream?<br><br>
Had his soul reached out for redemption?<br><br>
Had the sea answered his call?<br><br>
As he embraces his love he pledges<br><br>
Faithfulness forever<br><br>

Longing, Frustration, Impassioned Desire<br><br>
The elements that feed a lover's fire<br><br>
True love is like water, a quiet stream<br><br>
That quenches the thirst, fulfills the dream<br><br>
Love is the essence of our souls<br><br>
It is the consummate virtue that extols<br><br>
The heart not just in us to beat<br><br>
but to comfort us in our daily retreat<br><br>
Without it we are merely shells<br><br>
That shrivel away with nothing to tell<br><br>
Nothing to feel, nothing to learn...<br><br>
Love is what makes our passion burn.<br><br>

The warmth of your smile drew me in<br><br>
Like a moth to a flame<br><br>
Oblivious that flying too close<br><br>
Would singe my fragile wings...<br><br>
Fluttering so closely<br><br>
Trusting in your words<br><br>
Enveloping all of my being<br><br>
Into you <br><br>
Nights spent in ecstasy<br><br>
Thinking of you alone<br><br>
Believing your words<br><br>
Imagining your kiss<br><br>
Believing you did the same<br><br>
Suddenly, cold was the flame<br><br>
Barren the eyes I once looked into<br><br>
The heart that ravaged my soul<br><br>
Was now the hand that robbed my senses<br><br>
Your love was for another<br><br>
Someone with riches who<br><br>
Filled your selfish whims<br><br>
I, who loved you so long from afar<br><br>
Unworthy...<br><br>
Yet, still loving you...<br><br>
Still hoping...<br><br>

The sun illuminating the world<br>
The moon a beacon of hope through eternity<br><br>

Like the tides crashing onto shore<br>
The wind caressing the desert sands<br>
The stars that shine ad infinitum<br><br>
Our love is immortal...<br><br>
Like the cry of a newborn baby<br>
The laughter of a happy child<br>
The ecstasy of love discovered<br><br>
Our love is immortal...<br><br>
Even when our time on Earth expires<br>
Our hearts within us cease to beat<br>
Our spirits will go on forever<br><br>
For our love is immortal...

Body yearning...<br><br>
Desire strong-<br><br>
Wanting to taste your every flavor...<br><br><br>
Your love-<br><br>
Dripping down upon my tongue...<br><br>
The fantasy I savor...<br><br><br>
Lips upon skin-<br><br>
Sweetness complete-<br><br>
Total concentration...<br><br><br>
Thoughts alive<br><br>
Only of you-<br><br>
Immersed in this sensation...<br><br><br>
Blood rushes-<br><br>
Heart pounds...<br><br>
Sensual essence fills our senses...<br><br><br>
Strong will is denied-<br><br>
As passion<br><br>
Breaks down our defenses...<br><br><br>
Driving rain-<br><br>
Beats down<br><br>
As the thunder rolls...<br><br><br>
Intense-<br><br>
As this ecstasy<br><br>
Shared by wanton souls...<br><br><br>
Envelop me-<br><br>
In the arms<br><br>
Of this lover's mystery...<br><br><br>
That I may once again<br><br>
Feel the rush-
Of Love's Intensity...<br><br><br>

I want to hold you to my breast<br>
to comfort you in your pain<br>
To make you see this abiding love<br>
in my heart that shall never wane.<br><br>
I want to be held close to you<br>
in your misery<br>
So you will know a love pure and true<br>
a love that was meant to be.<br><br>
You loved and gave you heart before<br>
to one who was untrue<br>
Who knew not of the ways of love<br>
or how to comfort you.<br><br>
When one is loved it must be done<br>
sincerely and mutually<br>
Each heart and soul must feel that joy<br>
that pure ecstasy.<br><br>
A selfish heart can never know<br>
what lovers truly feel<br>
Their joy comes not from the love they give<br>
but from the love they steal.<br><br>
The love that lives within my heart<br>
comes without a cost<br>
It will be there in your brightest hour<br>
and when your dreams are tossed.<br><br>
It will laugh with you, cry with you<br>
comfort you in your tears<br>
It will dream your dreams, scheme your schemes<br>
Dispel your wants and fears.<br><br>
So as you come into our bed each night<br>
to be shown unbridled passion<br>
A love as you have never known<br>
shown in true lover's fashion.<br><br>
Believe this lover's vow I make to you this night<br>
please seal it with a kiss<br>
Let me hold you, love you, give you solace...<br><br>
My dreams are made of this.

From all the mountains I have climbed<br>
To the seas tossed and stormy as my life<br>
To lands of unseen beauty and mystery<br>
Which brought me to the serenity of your being<br><br>
I have taken roads less traveled<br>
My journeys fraught with adversities<br>
Yet you have been my guiding light<br>
Along life's dark path<br>
Making my pilgrimage in this world my reason for living<br><br>
I shall continue on this road to the unknown<br>
Enduring whatever life holds in store<br>
Feeling you are beside me in spirit<br>
Knowing within my heart it has not been for naught<br><br>
As I lay my head beneath the starry night<br>
I imagine the perfection of your face<br>
My heart is filled with inner peace<br>
Knowing that this journey of my soul shall bring me home to you.JMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747173002704507245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18531664.post-26643289649322721162013-05-23T09:02:00.001-05:002013-05-23T09:03:18.225-05:00~Seduction~<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GjbpuuWwwEI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>
you are the moth to my flame...<br><br>
the wind to my bending branches...<br><br>
the thorn on my rose...<br><br>
there is no desert I would not traverse to drink in
the oasis of your desire...<br><br>
no ocean I would not sail to swim in the waves of passion
in your eyes...<br><br>
you have bewitched me completely beyond all expectations...<br><br>
my soul forever lost to every whim of your heart...<br><br>
my senses heightened longing for every tomorrow...<br><br>
my mind and body now with only one purpose-
to seduce you as you have seduced me...<br><br>
and I will come to you...<br><br>
and I will have you...<br><br>
and we will drown...<br><br>
and burn...<br><br>
and thirst...<br><br>
and bleed...<br><br>
and be swept away...<br><br>
and you will then know the greatest love
of all your life...<br><br>
that started with this seduction.<br><br>

Alas, I thought I would see you no more,<br>
Yet tonight you bring the moon to my door<br><br>
Shall I believe you have come to your senses... would I be remiss?<br>
To believe you come alone for my sweet kiss?<br><br>
Doth your love shine brighter than this heavenly light?<br>
Shall you again arouse my heart's delight?<br><br>
How sweet the passion beneath this beautiful orb that once our souls did make<br>
Fate called you away and with you it's majesty you did take<br><br>
Tis this now a dream a fancy that brings you back to me?<br>
A desire so strong within my heart I willed this night to be?<br><br>
If so I wish to never wake the light of day to see<br>
I wish for eternal moonlight for eternal ecstasy<br><br>
As I place my lips upon you your flesh warm upon mine<br>
I realize this is most real yet a dream most sublime<br><br>
In the light our silhouettes form the perfect kiss as stars shine above<br>
I now know the moonlight pales to the luster of our love.<br><br>

I could not live this life without you<br>
I could not bear not having you in my arms<br>
To never see the sunrise in your smile<br>
To never know your many charms<br><br>
I could not walk this lonely earth without you<br>
To see the beauty through my eyes alone<br>
To never hold your hand and share those tender moments<br>
Would be as if my soul were hard as stone<br><br>
I would not see the moon and stars without you<br>
Their luster would be as time fades into space<br>
To never feel the soft night breeze caress us<br>
Is simply something I cannot face<br><br>
I shall not feel my heart beating without you<br>
I shall have nothing else I can believe<br>
Your existence makes my life worth living<br>
I love you, please say you love me<br><br>
For all my life I've waited for you<br>
A heart and soul without a place<br>
I shall not be complete without you<br>

All I want to do<br>
is forget the world<br>
and stand beside you<br><br>
In your arms so strong<br>
I know I belong<br>
standing here beside you<br><br>

our lives begin<br>
walking here beside you<br><br>
I have waited many years<br>
and cried many tears<br>
living here without you<br><br>
All the years I spent<br>
in lonely sorrow<br>
thinking I had no tomorrow<br>
now I see forever in your eyes<br><br>
You have come to me<br>
with love so sweetly<br>
now you own my heart completely<br>
And on this sand awaits<br>
love's sacred prize<br><br>
As the moon shines bright<br>
we will make this right<br>
as I lay beside you<br><br>
Making love til dawn><br>
out of two one born<br>
as I lay beside you<br><br>
Souls upon the sea<br>
calling out to me<br>
telling me its you<br><br>
All my searching done<br>
nevermore alone<br>

the planter of seeds<br><br>
healer of the earth...<br><br>
fierce, passionate, independent<br><br>
loving, compassionate, strong...<br><br>
the essence of life<br><br>
the procurer of peace<br><br>
the missive of justice...<br><br>
a lover, a fighter, a friend<br><br>
but never bound by <br><br>
attempts to dismiss the<br><br>
amazing power I represent...<br><br>
the power of grace<br><br>
the power of honesty<br><br>
the power of humanity<br><br>
the power of love<br><br>
I am woman... I am hope.<br><br>JMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747173002704507245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18531664.post-73711251258261413112013-04-28T21:45:00.002-05:002013-04-29T18:45:30.327-05:00~You~<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6x7_jbqzRUdOytLW_ZnNMjQCLx-u_JbH69pwp0HEwcYvc8x90aAcbAOANjxdlCYM1zs7dLTxH3V7WlyU7SWHs4ha0JNP1VdIv-xSXYp6itFVlHDbYF_iLkfYcc72Ik8ftawEa/s1600/you.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6x7_jbqzRUdOytLW_ZnNMjQCLx-u_JbH69pwp0HEwcYvc8x90aAcbAOANjxdlCYM1zs7dLTxH3V7WlyU7SWHs4ha0JNP1VdIv-xSXYp6itFVlHDbYF_iLkfYcc72Ik8ftawEa/s320/you.jpg" /></a><br><br>
You intoxicate me<br>
You make me feel<br>
You make me love<br>
You make this real<br><br>
When I touch you<br>
You are the fire<br>
And voraciously<br>
We feed desire<br><br>
You excite me<br>
You make it true<br>
You make love sweet<br>
You make me blue<br><br>
When I see you<br>
You are all there is<br>
And I get lost<br>
Inside your kiss<br><br>
You remind me<br>
You make me see<br>
You are my love<br>
You are eternity.<br><br>JMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12747173002704507245noreply@blogger.com0
