The roads that find me  

Take me every which way

One night I stumbled into her temple

And there at her alter

the Venus flower lay

I am not one for gods

But just this one time

I couldn’t help but pray

She blessed me with a glimpse of her beauty

And it has scarred me to this day

What the crow’s can salvage

From the subconscious mind,

Secrets carried  in-between
Feathers;

The many truths I’ve left to die.

I hear her sweeter whispers

She calls to me in threes

To tempt my soul to flicker

a dying fire aided by the breeze

I know not which way  to answer

As she is now  knocking on the trees

Why is it that you visit me

O lady  of my dreams

The smoke, not the fire,
Got in my eyes;
The idea, not my brain,
Lives on outside;
Our love, not the heart,
Allows us to thrive.
Long will we live
Long after we die.

Is not something to save,
Share it,
Let it multiply
