1. colours of lust the setting sun eclipse of your heart tears on your cheeks 2. rise of your breasts mist of your breath mist on the moors it doesn't have to make sense still you turn me on

After writing an article; The Art of Silence, and upon further reflection, I penned the following poem. In light of the books and music I have been indulging in of late; this took the poem down a darker path, than initially intended.
everybody should be quiet near a little stream where the wild roses grow and just listen down to the river we ride be silent, listen to your heartbeat take my hand, I'll take yours to much madness and sorrow the loudest words are not spoken living in this age of rage down to the river we go walking towards the light this beautiful place wearing many guises sending me down the river tonight my baby and I the river runs clear in the night no words needed to uncover an ability to let things go take solace in the silence an inner absence of preoccupation masks the hidden messages of compliance do you know where the wild roses grow down by the river together you may get away baptised in the river cleansed be delivered

intimate, hushed solace in the silence conversing by delicious touch seduced by a smile & flirtatious wink
the beauty of the silent bond that ties two stars into orbit requiring no response other than a soft touch or knowing look
the day fades to grey shifting from grey to dark before we long for the promise of a new day we cling to the dark

which runs deeper blood or love which runs thicker which cuts deeper there are ties that blind blood ties, love loosens the bonds love is worth the sacrifice moving beyond break the chains rattle the locks break the cage loosen the ties that bind no not sever let me show you what love can do break the pillars shatter the foundations spread that love come now my darling just lie in my arms its you and I that now remain let me show you what is possible with love

your mask is slipping your slip is showing your many masks slowly fall away the presence of your beloved lovingly liberates the masque's the many layers enfolding one slowly peel away like the layers of an onion as the onion is degloved tears are its byproduct so to with us.... the many masks bring tears and pain as some masks are ripped off like a too soon scab the scars they leave over time become badges worn comfortably at times with pride the comfort of our new skin allows us to look fondly upon the discarded masques when we gaze into the mirror the face that looks back becomes more recognisable more loved by the ego and the beloved
