The Enchanted Mill

 

Serpent Desires

Belladonna eyes

Bewitching senses.

Temptation building

With the rhythm of

Her dark enchantment.

 

Eden’s promise.

Sweet seduction.

Warm caresses.

Serpent desires.

 

So he falls

In boundless

Ecstasy.

 

Passion

Leads to

 

Bliss.

 

 

The Rhythm of Life

He knew when he first saw me

We’d hear the same crazy drumbeat.

We’d dance with the moon by the river.

We’d sing to the rhythm of life.

 

I knew when I first saw him

We’d walk the wild path to freedom.

We’d have no fear of tomorrow.

We’d see the world through purple shades.

 

Now those tatty old shades may fade

But a purple moon shines brightly

When I see his smile each evening

And the rhythm of life plays on.

 

 

 

A Future Painted

 

The world is stained a different shade

When I look back and see your face.

My mind selects a darker hue

As memories fall into place.

 

For twenty years we shared a home.

I trusted you with all my dreams.

I felt with you they were secure.

You took that trust and ripped the seams.

 

You left without a single word.

A secret exit, planned without

A thought for those you left behind.

A coward’s way, there is no doubt.

 

The children cried a thousand tears

But we survived and carried on.

You thought we’d crumble, think again.

Our lives are richer now you’re gone.

 

So now you’re back with sorry smiles.

A coward still, you left her too.

This endless round of to and fro

Will stop, there is no place for you.

 

The world is stained a different shade.

My mind selects a brighter hue.

This is my life and now I’m free

A future painted without you.

 

 

 

Chasing Rainbows

Our tale’s unwritten, missed potential
Greets the dawn then fades away
A contradiction caught in silence
‘Will they, wont they?’ - let it play

We touch the stars and feel them tremble
Kiss the twilight, let it dance
So many games are lost in stalemate
‘Will they, won’t they?’ – just a chance!

Trust and friendship, mixed with laughter
Soul mates now and ever more
As for passion, well I wonder
‘Will they won’t they?’ - are you sure?

Shattered rainbows, false perception
Mar the journey on to bliss
We are too wrapped in imperfection
‘Will they, wont they?’ – did we miss?

Trouble is we’ve been and done it
Oh so many times before
I could love you, then it falters
Will they won’t they?’ – where’s the door?

So here’s the challenge, if you’ll take it
Grab the pen and let it scrawl
I’m tired of chasing shattered rainbows
‘Will they, won’t they?’ - it’s your call.
