Precipice

I stand upon the precipice of your heart.

Lost in love, but hesitant to enter, for

the winds of change are blowing strong

and still waters run deep.

Among the echoes of my ruminations

I listen for a clue. Should I enter or

should I abstain? How can I see into

the shadows within your heart?

You say your love is true, but how

can I tell what is real, when everything

in this world, lasts only for a period,

like some cruel illusion.

We are born, we love, and then we die.

So, how can you say, that our love will

last forever, when the silence of the

grave, will quiet both our hearts forever?

As my tears fall into the abyss, of true love,

I now stand upon, the precipice of your heart!

The Jaguar and the Rose

In silence, the Jaguar stalks its prey,

amidst the jungle floor. While the

laughter of maidens is heard far away.

Among the reflections of love, glisten

hopes and dreams, kindled from the

fire and passion between the Jaguar

and the Rose.

Embers glow, in the darkness, as

vows of love are exchanged. “Te Amo

Mi Amor!” Sacred words of the soul,

become as blood oaths to erase

the emptiness.

Whispers, are felt not heard, as

silken lips hold court before a captive

audience. Until the dawn awakens and

whatever was before, is no more.

In the morning light, two pairs of

eyes meet again, as if for the first time, and a

smile is born. Afterwards, they part ways,

only to meet again within the secret place

where the memory lives.

The Jaguar disappears into the midst

of the jungle rain, falling now within the

human soul, for soon two lovers shall meet again

within their minds, and as they lose control,

a rose is born upon the jungle floor!
