The Calling - A Collaboration with Poet Todd A. Carter

A calling amidst the moon and stars
of a love so divine that transcends
A longing of the hearts desire
a completion of the counterpart

Silence reigns the days and nights
as sorrow takes hold of existence
Hoping to be heard in the whispers
of the sublime nights beckoning

The longing felt is much deeper than
the shallow desires of mind
Two souls still intertwined eternal
long after the flesh untangles of carnal lust´

You feel a hunger that never ceases
as the heart pangs to be nourished
sense the haunting radiance
The slivers tease, of moon lit nights

Calling
            Calling
                       Calling

On a distant shore, loves sublime
be the sole possessor of the key
The one who shall unlock all
of which resides within heart

Such sweet mysteries to unravel
within the mind, body and soul
In the silence of nights whispers
carried upon the autumns breeze

Listening
                Listening
                              Listening

......Of closed eyes and fingers tips
Lips softly trace the trail of tears
and taste the salts of long dead seas,
where the sirens call was laid to rest

Sweet music like chimes in spring
inebriated in the scent of rose
and the velvety smooth, petals touch
as the whippoorwill sings

Calling
           Calling
                      Calling

Awaiting a sign amid the silence
hearing the captivating melodies
Enraptured is the essence of being
as I yearn to yield to song anew

To awaken in true loves embrace
as days, go by in tell-a-tale fashion
Where nothing else exists – absent
a mere moment in time, at a standstill

During the night as I listen…
                  It is where you listen…
To the beckoning of another’s core
In each heartbeat filled with sorrow

Star-crossed

I gaze silently at the stars
Shining so brightly above
Lost in thought so deeply
A calling unto the essence
Longing to feel a presence
As my whispers are carried
Upon a soft spring breeze

Known is what resides in core
Utterly sublime be this notion
So immeasurable – so timeless
The undying silence bestowed
Unhinges all reason – disbelief
Grows within mind – uncertain
Be these thoughts – disturbed

Longing to reach out – touch
Another soul – as did my own
Ever so deeply, now imprinted
A missing piece called in time
In sweet melodies of the night
Through visions once revealed 
Inside the window of my soul

Sharing these divine mysteries
Unknown – be the light of day
Known – be the calling of night
Communicating, in minds-eye
Gifting the power of knowledge
When darkness now descends
Underneath the moon – stars

We become one with nature
Absorb every sound – listen
In which, it shall tell a story
Unfolding a destined course
Seeing what eyes will not see
Hear the sweet calling within
Ascending as the spirit soars

Traveling, betwixt space – time
Feel the warmth of a soft touch
Held close, in such sweet rapture
Wrapped around in times of need
Serenity – be solace unto the soul
Listen to the melody of the heart
As it calls out forever, voicelessly

Rise Above

I rise - I fall
With the coming of fall
Nature takes hold
Within each, every turn
I scream upon deaf ears
No understanding - Indifference
I look through eyes of darkness
In this light - I take flight
Soaring through darkened skies
My silhouette against moonlight
A vision - Pure, yet simple
In the dark there is light
Amongst light, there is darkness
Not all seen is good
Only the blind can see
In this constant battle
Back and forth
A constant swaying motion
As you look upon the sea
The coming and going of tide
Beautiful in light
A splendor cast within moon’s light
A picture captured
Yes, the true essence
The fine line we walk
Capture this motion
Sweeping all in my wake
I see the light in darkness
Other’s can see light in day
Look beyond the naked eye
Fear not darkened forms of beauty
Dance within its light-
A beacon that shines - Guides
In moonlight whispers
Calling through distant shores
