Shadows Light Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..... I love thee from here to the sun and around the moon My love for thee can not be measured in breaths or glittering gold My love for thee is not for what you can do for me or what I can do for you. My love for you just is….it can not be bought, and it can not be sold. My love for you is not sewn with lies… but in sweet heart melting sighs. My heart soars on the wings of a hawk above the clouds and green earth. My love for you is real and that is something no one can steal. Nor mortal man can curse what the Goddess births. Take away all mortal trappings we hold dear but you can’t change the way I feel. I love thee.... S.L. Link to comment
Shadows Light Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 A seed is planted lying still in my bosom Picking me as its chosen Quietly, gently, tip toeing permeating body and mind Seconds, minutes, hours, days roots bind A friendship is formed the seed takes mass Time flies and all of a sudden we have a past. Building on times gone by two hawks take wing and fly. Arm in arm and Wing to wing. Flying over the ramparts And sing…. Bring it on what ever you dare to bring. To warmer climes We dare until the early spring. We dare the winds to be our guide. We dare the fates that test our pride. We dare to laugh, love and be merry… Going where folks aren’t so countrary. Building our nest and raising our brood. Letting in the light all that is bright Where we are not subject to others mood And feeling one with the world and alright. The seed is no longer in germination Its sprouted on the vine Nothing left to the imagination Like red red wine….Intoxication. Pushing off, letting go, a flutter of wings and a bow…. It’s off toward the stars and through the clouds. S.L. ----------- Work in progess... not titled. Link to comment
Shadows Light Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 So you chug-a-lug with engine sputter Lugging all that baggage, try as you might putter Toss the blame at spark plug and lack of sizzle While anyone can see its getting old and drivel. Those wet behind the gears relate very well. And think your spit and shine is chrome. You might spin a good game of RPM’s But when it comes to it you lack the evolutions. Top end in harmony with bottom True torque moves a body forward You have all the subtlety of golem And the speed of a found on the side of the road… Ford. So move your silly arrse over and let the hawk fly Rolling on into the curves and leaning into the by and by. You might try to fix that carburetor It’s coughing stuttering the same dead tune Sounds like a dry percolator You’re bound to hit bottom soon. Turn your head the other way As I pass in only third gear Laugh and jeer if makes you, and you must But until you learn to live and lean into the wind…. Eat my dust. S.L. Link to comment
Shadows Light Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 The sun will come up on the morrow. Shine down upon me as I take my ease Rolling on the throttle, laughing in the brrrrreeeeeze. Can you hear my heart sing? Can you hear my joy? Ride to live and live to ride… the road we’ll take Side by side. A Hawk on my shoulder and one on his breast. Two different reasons Both hearts put to the test. You fly your way and I’ll fly mine. You twist your throttle and I’ll twist mine. I’ll chase you and you chase me Sometimes side by side And sometimes I’ll ride behind. The wind plays through your hair Mounted on your chrome covered steed. Black leather and shades As we waltz at high speeds. A squiggly sign my heart begins to race The sensuous dance of the road As I give a merry chase. I pass you and you pass me Look out for critters and road debris In the wind can you hear my glee? Side by side we fly as Hawks watch from the sky Bit by bit we chew up road as we ride. Moving forward on a bike no reverse In the rearview the past looks perverse Into the night and into the light By the sun and by pale moonlight The hawks ride. Side by Side. Can you hear my heart sing? Can you hear my joy? Ride to live and live to ride… the road we’ll take Side by side. Link to comment
