Enchanted Forest

I carved our love in the wood

Of the tree we once stood

In that enchanted forest

If those trees could speak

The forest would burn in flames

From the passion we shared

Under the veil of night

Secluded by the life of the forest

We exchanged our lust that night

In the enchanted forest

We became one with all

In remembrance of us

I marked the spot

Where we revealed ourselves

The universe circling above us

I placed your head on my chest

You felt the heart pumping

That drumming beat

Became the rhythm of the forest

Then we began our dance

Intertwined with one another

Tied to the night

Tied to the moment

In the enchanted forest

Time stood still

As we became one

Bound in unity

Bathed by the moonlight

We shined ever so bright

Our stardust sparkling

When caught in the beams

The spark of creation

The magic happening

So native

So free

Within the enchanted forest

Is where we found our truth

Hidden deep within

The Playground

It’s form is a child

Watching over the playground

Always hunting its prey

You may think on the young at play

It’s going to feast

I assure you not

For truly you see

The young are its heart

Full of life

Vibrantly free

That is what it protects

You must see

There are those it hunts

Just outside the playground fronts

Here are the predators that be

Very violent

So obscene

You must stay clear

Or in danger you’ll be

Remain and be seen

And leave them to me

Keeping this playground safe

For you and I

Rescue Of The Wolf

The wolf is on the prowl

Listen for the howl

Feel the surge of energy

Rush over the body

You begin to soar

As a caged animal

Set free for the first time

With your wild heart

All is set in motion

To give you the thrill

Of sweet freedom you seek

To fill the urge

You crave so deep within

All your paths are revealed

The choice is yours

Where to go from here

Like a savior

You rescue

This fading heart

Bringing it back

From the abyss of darkness

Scars

I’m here to bear witness

Of a universal renewal

Every time you attack me

All these scars burn

For all the torture

For all the pain

For all the blood

For all the tears

No more in silence

Because that’s violence

You tried to kill

What could not be killed

You tried to undo

What cannot be undone

You crossed the line

Your fate is sealed

Which is concealed

In the after doom

In the gloom

Of my despair

Where I was left

In pain to die

Bruised and bare

Holding on to life

Fascinated by the light

That even death

Holds a bitter sweetness

Wanting relief

Yearning to be free

I take refuge

In your light

In your love

Even in the stillness

Of your darkness

You heal these scars

Upon this heart

Change

   Change of rhyme

Change in time

Change of mind

Change of wind

Change within

Change of reason

Change of season

Change in tribe

Change of wine

Change of shrine

Change in change

Change of flow

Change of emotion

Change in motion

Change of heart

Change of beat

Change in style

Change of theme

Change of scene

Change in genes

Change of speed

Change of tide

Change in nature

Change of pace

Change of space

Change in life

Change of texture

Change of color

Change in age

Change of design

Change of structure

Change in all

Remain

One day you’ll look for me

You will not find me

For I have returned to the earth

From dust we are made

Dust we will return

Make wise of your time

What you pour your heart into

So you will have a everlasting flame

That will burn for all to see

For all that you love

To always remain

Let love in

Let love live

Don’t give in

Don’t give up

Keep going to get that flame ablaze

Make your everlasting flame seen

Than a part of you

Shall always remain
