BOON AND BANE

That first night had so much meaning
Feelings that I truly gave you
When you took me in your arms
And I felt your cuddly warmth
When you held me close to you
I felt safe, like never before

That first night had so much meaning
Tender kisses, skin to skin
Caresses, gentle, full of caring
Looks of true love in our eyes
Oh, that first night was like heaven
Right down here on mother earth

That first night had so much meaning
Morning came, we were still dreaming
And we looked so beautiful
Making breakfast in the kitchen
Your eyes never leaving mine
We were complete, fulfilled inside

That first night had so much meaning
Made me crave much more for you
As your tender kisses showed me
Patience had to reign in me
Wait for when you would be ready
To admit that you were mine

That first night had so much meaning
Softly sleeping in your arms
Holding me like I was treasure
That you wanted all your life
Now it’s only dreams remaining
Sand that's slipping through my fingers

That first night had so much meaning
Tears drops, shining in my eyes
sweetest love my benison
As you gave me peace and freedom
I'm still waiting patiently
One day you will return to me

DAISIES

I can hear your heartbeat
singing to me in a rhythm
that says; "I love you."


I can feel the stroke of your hand
touching my skin, caressing me
physical and equally spiritual


Your sensual kisses
painted all over my body
tattooed your words, in my heart


You became an artist in my exhibition
painted all colours of the rainbow
over me and then on canvas


I welcomed you in to my haven
of sacredness, let you rest
so that my soul could sail in yours


Endless hours of creating
irresistibly engaged in each other
embracing confessions of love


Not just to hear, but to feel,
to see, like a divine revelation
in the minds eye


You painted that masterpiece
of happiness and joy
like no other ever


My memories of you
every morning when I wake
make me smile, make me warm


My thoughts of you go yonder any other
restless waves of sea capture me
I miss you


Will you come and paint this summer
will we dance away the nights
and sleep in the reverence of angels


Bring me a bunch of daisies when you come...

YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK

Read me like your favourite book
hear me like a love-song
let yourself be embraced by my heart
drown in my sensuality
savour in my spirit
enjoy every moment of my laughter
for it can make your heart leap with joy
dance with me until the morning hours
sleep like an angel in my arms
wake up to my sparkling eyes
love me for what I am
for what I give you
comes from the depth of my soul

Take what I give to you
hold it with passion
reap from what I sow
because it is pure happiness
recognize the inner light
which shines in me
and let it enhance every of your days
the nights will be brighter than moonlight
and the stars will sing to you
a beautiful symphony
never to forget its sweet sound
bury it deep in your heart
So that you will always remember my love

UNTIL I SEE YOUR EYES

If I was an angel
I'd fly to you
Through time and space
Through clouds and rain
And hurricanes
I'd spread my silky wings
And fly, fly the skies

I'd fly to you
No matter where
The wind would blow
In heavy storm I would still go
Yet sunlight's shining on my wings
To make me warm inspire things
On this long flight

Through time and space
I travel now
As mother earth turns
Whilst my heart yearns
To end this flight
Be in your arms
And hold you tight

Through clouds and rain
Wings carry me
Yet they are soaked entirely
They slow my flight
To my destination
Thinking of you
Is my gratification .

And hurricanes
Blow my wings dry
From all the rain gone by
I need my strength
To concentrate
Not to be swirled away
To far from where I head

I'll spread my silky wings
Now dry
From hurricane gone by
Now sun is shining
I can see
Here from my flight
Its destiny

And fly, fly the skies
Until my wings touch home
I'm living in a storm
My heart just can't be torn
Away from loving you
You're living in my soul
Until I see your eyes

HOW DO I LOVE THEE

I walk by the ocean
on this gentle soothing night
my dream of you lingers on my mind
the gentle breeze enlacing me
impressions of days and nights gone by

I drink the moons reflection
which lingers on the sea
it soothes my hearts yearning
but patience I abide
for in my soul you do reside

Though now so far away
an ocean us divides
yet I do see you walking
and standing by the sea
as you thus silently think of me

Embraced by something wondrous
not easily extinct
nor vanish the loving moments
those which embrace us close
and never disappear the dreams we behold

"How do I love thee? Do let me count."

Your smile feels like a summers breeze
Your touch like velvet yet off steel
Alights me like a burning flame
Your words so linger on my mind
Your manly voice so sweet and smooth
Your melting gaze or piercing glance
Undoubtedly so full of love
And when we kiss it promises infinitude
Not only this do I desire
I love your words, the ones you write
For there is where we two unite

Unboundedly could we achieve
what many of us do just dream
without it ever being real
yet in compliance we would be
if we would write our poetry

For yes, you do inspire me
in mind and inks conspiracy
undoubtedly you have erupted
my never-ending poetry
as I do hope that you abide with me

No one I've met had what you have
and continuously give to me
gather the words I throw in the air
they talk of love and unity
a gift that I behold for thee

ROOMS WITHIN A ROOM

I am in my kitchen preparing something I call 'Koenigsberger Klöpse'. Somehow I feel you looking over my shoulder, pushing my long hair aside smelling my perfume. Placing a soft kiss on my neck. You glance into the casserole, and let yourself emerge in to my world of spicing the dish. "Hmm, is that German cooking?" I hear you ask, whispering the words softly in my ear. It seems unreal, but I'm in your kitchen.

I am finished with the preparation; a white sauce, with capers, lemon juice, black pepper and all season spices. A dash of 'créme culinaire' enhancing the dish. I gently put the meatballs in to the sauce. Now it just has to simmer.

Rice is already steaming its Basmati aroma trough the room. Though a rather exotic rice, I prefer it a lot with the dish the hint of Jasmine flavour making it tasty, though that’s not traditional. I've prepared a cucumber salad with a chive dressing to go with the dish. It's a nice combination, refreshing. The spices are enveloping us, and our nostrils are now being filled with the sweet aroma rising from the oven where my almond cake is baking.

You give me your radiant smile, my sweet reward for having made an almond cake. There is nothing as warm as your smile.

I leave the kitchen. Still, I feel your shadow moving along with me. I enter my bedroom, I think…

Yet as I open the door It's your bed standing there, big, firm, proud, in the middle of the room. The curtains now, midnight blue, not purple velvet like mine. You give me your favourite dress for me to wear, night blue silk fluently fitting me. You ask me to dance, again you move my long hair away from my face and whisper these words to me. I feel your hands gliding down my back, until you hold my waist firmly in your arm ready to tango into the night with me.Enlaced, skin to skin.

The scent of the Almond cake brings me back to my senses and makes me walk back to the kitchen. Yet still I feel that I am not in my place. It's like walking through rooms within rooms. It must be my wish, my longing for you that bring these visions to me, or perhaps that's where you want me to be, even now I can feel you touching me.

I want to lay the table, it's already been laid. Just like you do, pleasing to the eye, in the middle of the table a bunch of wild roses for joy, romantic aesthesia. You take my hand and lead me to my chair "Mademoiselle," you say, as you pull the chair for me to sit down. I kiss your cheek, love in my eyes…

Can I awake? Can this vision be real? Or will I always be seeing...

Rooms within a room…

MOON CHILD

I'm a moon child
Lighting up the dark
Mysterious wonder night
I'm a moon child

Set light to candles
Secret smiles come
From loving eyes
Incense burning

Flavoured breathing
Perceiving touch
Of our hands
Oblivious to time

The bewitching moon
Shines down on us
We bathe in the light
It spells on us

I'll stroke your skin
Hear you breathing
Deep within, as you
Relax to my magic touch

Surrounded by a sea of
Light shining on us
Romantic plight
This moonshine night

Oh you feel it deep
Start to touch my
Need inside I feel
Indulged for more

Like me and you
Mars and Saturn
Residing at each
Others side

Yet I'm a moon child
I caress your skin
Some more, softly
As you cling to me

Your kisses deep
calming my need
Enlightening it arouses
My fire deep inside

You are the fuel
That I need to ignite
Keep me aflame
Never let me die again
