TUCKED deep inside my loneliness
Heart zig zagging all day
In the haze of imagination
I saw the light
In a blinding flash
And suddenly darkness came...
Then the radiant Queen
Walked by smiling broadly
Spreading her airs
And aura....
Illumining the serenity
Of my silences.....
The First time I saw you
Rain swallowed up the famished
Paths
Bringing back a sudden freshness
Soothing frayed nerves
And redeeming the times...
The first time I saw you
I saw beyond the beautiful face
I saw deep into your heart
Full of love and truth....
Yes the first time I saw you
My silence was silenced
And beauty caressed my being
Bringing back memories
Of life well lived
before the rain that washed
Away the vegetations
and swallowed up the nest
Of my crib....
The first time
The first time I saw you
Resistance died
In me
Denouncing the celibacy
Of my vow..
For I am human
Made human
Now I have seen you
And in your heart I live
In your love safety is wrought
And my life decorated
With rich plumes
And diadems of gold.......
Now when the loveless
Scamper
At the call of thunder
Your breath draw me closer
To the beauty of your lightening.....
You are a fair Queen....
You are a fairer heart
You are golden
