Entering the dark circus
is courting madness

Some dance to a haunting melody
no one else hears

Some dare to believe they are dancing
with loves long buried

Some surrender to the surreal surroundings
and think they hear the dolls.

Do not buy a ticket.
Do not enter.

Step right up take a spin
There is no harm.
Don't let the jester give you alarm

Do you see the Jester?
He'll steal your soul.
When it is over he gets his toll

It was quick
And it was fun.
The ride is over and it's all done.

Hiding your madness
After hours is folly
Play your joker
Win the game
Make crazy
Your ultimate fashion item
Free your inner femme fatale...

I draw
her rose water bath
she removes
her warpaint
her face of the day
I stand behind her
we reflect
such elegant lines
in these mirrors
Beauty translating
to desire
Artistic sensuality,
behold these eyes
of fire.

here, beneath this shield of bone
a transcendent harmonic resonates
caged in my wild heart it sings for me
a tender blue symphony

Sensual grace of their
Lips locked embracing
Eternity
As the ache and the burn
Flow deeper into their
Hearts
Flaring the wild flight
Of the birds dancing
To their personal ode
Oh the mysterious dreamer
In me once again
Sees thru minds eye
The Lovers Film.

This feeling we share
joy is on the horizon
a change we both need

moonstruck on a magic night
dancing in the midnight silver glow
making romance bloom and grow
swept away while dreaming awake
sweet Selene and her lover Helios

I'm Jellyfish
she said
you can see me through
no lie envision in me
soul's and flesh's alike
but just forgotten words
as daily rainbow
I couldn't say "goodbye"

Early hour thoughts
Heartaches a tender sorrow
Those thoughts turn
Heartache turns to angry sorrow
Your love kills my soul
My heart wants to flee from you
My will compromised
My heart is crushed by your will
Early morning thoughts

2 lovers entwined
Complete trust
In the other
Dreams coming to fruition
They drew a card
The passion they knew
Between them
Building itself
A reality all their own
Like Romeo & Juliet
Willing to die
To love each other
Heaven in each other's arms.

I can't believe
I am dreaming of a dream
My life a tragedy?
Comedy?
I rather belive I am
Born to be a romantic

This sea of feelings
And hypnotic desire is
Suffocating me

We trespass the light
Wrapped in flames of dark promise
Dressed without regret

Silver's magic kiss
Misses my blackened wild heart
And my empire lives

To hold a dream, do we not all yearn to experience the wonder of it, the breathless tender magic of it? Drowning in moonlight, silver-fire filling our lungs to bursting, this is the power love can wield, but to waken is to know we are alone in the cold dawn.

Apocalypse
souls rising
no hidden corners
today is the day of truth
clawing in hard
stained hands will talk
crying won't help
too late to repent
