A fire in her eyes the Siren tells no lies
lit pyre of the sky as the sun so slowly dies
in the ashes of his heart

I am a handle to hold what the mind enfolds
soft in a lovers ear or quiet as a mothers tear
i can draw you close or make you run in fear
I can be long or short or one or two or in the middle too
I am the same for me and you but not the same its true
because I am the things my friends call me too

moon in a dream of water
her eye in a sky of blue
a river on which souls arrive
or souls departing
for love is but a memory to some
a hand full of days
seeking shelter from the wind
in the paradise of youth

lonely as her eyes the seasons turn
a fire lit and on silence burn
the thoughts in which a heart returns
but they were only gentle hands
growing flowers in a garden

love was the moon in her eyes
waxing sliver on which a soul does rise
round and round the earth with reaching hands
a ship made of dreams in forgotten lands
singing songs which the flowers hear
as they spread their beauty both far and near

clouds in grey fleece
gathered by the shepherd of the sky
to bring the lovers rain
and paint this earth,its thousand shades in green

those penny's about your brow
the only crown to which I bow
kings and queens on their own feet
whose hands not stranger to a plow

dreams grown tangled in beloveds lace
haunting the night with loves embrace
and soon the shadow of the moon will rise
drawn by the gravity of my muses face

not riches in gold like sultans crave
but heart be pure and soul be brave
shafts of arrows your thought engrave
while laying petals on Omar's grave

In the hall of hands
where the red god runs with the yellow deer
time is a sea immortal
embedding the magic of mind in shape
with smell of smoke and song of flame
guiding fingers in paint
for I pray to the shamans of a different dream
homage to the first of my kind

sky in water and clouds in the shape of her face
a door to light in shadow though which my soul sought grace
for spring is the time of butterfly's departing
and casting paper airplanes to the moon

lost from the moon to wander
across nights which hold the stars to ponder
unto the souls of a speaking tree
which sings the dreams of the free
while she dances beneath a scarlet sun
with the eye's of a lions fire
