These Magic Moments

 

These magic moments that you share

Will be embossed inside your cells,

For in that spot where all is square

There is that dream that none dispels.

Tomorrow comes. Tomorrow tells.

 

The telling truth is at your door.

You hear it rap, you know the kind -

The here and now forevermore

To be at hand for you to find.

It's in your soul. It's that enshrined.

 

The shadows flee, appears the sun,

The truth of truths that turns the tide,

A heart of hearts that's next to none,

A promise made that's bona fide:

You prayed for love. Now love's on side.

 

The blessings had you dreamt about,

Now come to you as answered prayer

For you believed without a doubt

These magic moments yours to share.

And so they were. You put them there.

 

She Shakes The Shadow

 

She shakes the shadow, is the light,

The sun at hand because of this.

It matters not for nudge of night

She's beauty-bound and borne of bliss.

Her praises sung she's earned the right,

Phenomenal her quasar kiss.

 

One step ahead of all the rest,

She moves the moon that rides above.

A heart of gold within her breast

She knows to wield that "golden" glove,

The gods themselves now surely pressed

That they should name a greater love.

 

In velvet eyes her soul revealed,

Those portals wide for all to see,

The scent of rose sent far afield

As though to test Eternity.

Borne this in mind one's fate is sealed

Perchance aligned their destiny.
