We held each other, as our dance,

Shaken by the world being torn.

I wiped your tears as you wept

This great loss and the place

Whence we came

Sank into yesterday’s buried

In memory became dark

Only our light shone for Eve

We saw her sadness and gave her Adam

A howl came from the remnants of heaven’s choir

And fury shook the rafters of hell

Heaven and hell

Were clamouring a storm of steel

Fire and brimstone

Stank up high heaven

They began to stone you

Never having touched hair or feathered flight

I shielded you and with the power of human passion

A word from breath beat them back

They scurried whimpered, recoiled

Falling over each other

Until the quiet came

I poured thought and pondered

Running my fingers through the lion’s mane

I forgave them and turned and looked

Into your eyes and remembered …

Whence we came…..

DARK CHERUBS II 

In your eyes, I fell so deeply

Caught in the waltz of flames eternal

Stars and sun’s at my feet

In your arms Aurora’s ribbons swirl

About us the crown of time is light

Fate and destiny above us bright

The kiss I give you loving bride

Gently raises the ocean tides

Stills the evening wind to a breeze

Makes the leaves quiver from those trees

And the mountains bow and shrink

Back from your soft lips our eternal link.

The ground beneath us rumbles

A prayer of thanks blessed by your presence

The kiss sealed upon you gave the sparrow song

Our lips danced upon the breath between us

Gave flight to the Golden Wing Monarch

Butterfly and moth

Love, life, and light

Rose to the sun and stars.

The charge that came from the gale of the storm

The intensity between us gave thunder its light

And the gentle power to raise a crocus

Out of the tundra.

I touched your cheek

And made angels sing their chorus

The look I gave you in love

Made hell grow dark and cold;

And when I whispered in your ear

Eve gave Adam his first kiss.

A tear of joy ran from my cheek

And you wiped it dry

Before it touched my lips.

The universe spun around

As we danced in its wake

Leaving life behind us to quake

And move the oceans and ground

We loved one another in a field

Open wide and bring starlight

To a shaded evening where dusk was our shield

And the sun burnt memories into the sky’s twilight.
