Elixir of the Soul

It was a night so beautiful that your soul seemed hardly able to bear the prison of the body. ~W. Somerset Maugham

Out in the open of night

Where this place seeps into the heavens

And the ceiling of day has been lifted

My eyes can see God

I want to move closer

And reach out my hand

To touch His face

That is where I feel

What true salvation is

The elixir of hope

That only God and angels

Can give

Floods through my veins

My thirst for God

Never ends

But each night I return

 like an old man to the church for prayer

I pray for you

I pray for me

And for another night of stars.

"The moon lives in the lining of your skin." 

~ Pablo Neruda

Like looking

 into the eyes of a lover

I find myself spellbound 

at the sight of you

 I look on 

in your direction 

every chance I can

like a man 

with a beautiful

woman in view

my eyes follow

the curves

and it feels like

you follow me 

on my path

do you feel

it to?

the pull

the longing

to be closer

or is it 

just a

spell 

that 

you 

have 

cast

upon

me

alone

like 

a

forlorn

gypsy

may

pickpocket

a fool?

If I

shall be

a fool

then

let it be

yours!

Mine is the night, with all her stars. ~Edward Young



I have settled my heart within her blanketed fold
where my gaze lingers on sparkling eyes
it is the comfort only she can provide
deep in my dreams that
rise up in her arms
at midnight
our dreams
become
one.
