Tristan und Isolde: Prelude
Tristan und Isolde
Twilights ascension unto the underworld
has opened a heart to nature
seasoned kindling added to the fire
stokes time catapults closer
to warm effervescence
still the curtain of dawn opens wide
the stage door
as hands reach out and souls do bind
filtering out the clamorous ways
of wayward wanderers
held close and firm to the homeland
hear what beating intertwined hearts
and breath to lips does say
sing unto the song of oneness
ebb and flow together
So near and so far
cries of long lost love
echo and volley across the landscape
Down a corridor of a house well known
shadows move from sparkling light
across cool marble floors
in the solitude of night
alone and weary
from the struggle
love is a stranger to the heart
which yearns and toils unrequited
mournful, sullen
longingly, languishing
reaching out into a cold starry night air
as darkness descends upon this knight
forthright and free
lost in love and never going to be
Shadows envelope and descend
from the heavens
extinguishing the soul
walking alone
desiring for an end to be
motionless awaiting fates grim tale
the solace of nature in soothing
sensual sounds
wash over and comfort
as unknown before
the heart fills
and bursts from within.

Song of Destiny
Out for a step into eternity
as the clouds form in uncertainty
at last a pace that might erase
this uneasiness etched upon my face
Looking upon the landscape so dear
One foot holds me here
The other one has no fear
Love lost within a tear
Songs of destiny swing low and bright
heard in their complexity
sing you back home tonight
rolling like a stone within the light
Soaring above the love lost
let the sound of falling free
guide you upon every turn
be yourself no matter the cost.
