Thirteen Tigers

Thirteen Tigers

Walk up to the gate in the ancient wilderness
Seven cobras guard the sacred waterfall
Cross the wooden bridge to the mystic portal
Thirteen tigers guard the passage between realms

Step through the sands of time, to another life
See the threads of destiny, which connect your life
See the threads of fate, which connect us all
See how love can rise like the phoenix
From the ashes of violence and war

Journey through a kingdom of hypocrisy
Past the aristocracy, and the corrupt elegance
Past the theocracy, and the soothing eloquence

Arrive in a town of mysterious lunacy
Where no one has a shadow, or reflection
Where women dance naked, and cry redemption

When the final grain of sand falls from the hourglass
The reaper will laugh at your mea culpa
And your deathbed epiphany, to finally seize the day
For even the reaper cannot stop time
From eventually devouring us all

Mortality is melting away
Like a careless vampire
Who gets caught in the sunrise

The sorcerer is laughing
Cause the sky is falling
Memento Mori
A new day is calling

Rendezvous

We had breakfast in bed
And watched the sunrise over the ocean
The strawberries, grapes, French toast, and orange juice
All tasted like the sweetest ambrosia

After breakfast I held you in my arms
And we kissed
Within the sanctuary of your love
I felt complete

At noon, we walked barefoot along the beach
In the shallow water, where the ocean kisses the shore
We talked for hours, and really connected
Body, mind, and soul

As evening approached
We stopped at a deserted part of the beach
And made passionate love

Your vanilla skin moved smoothly across mine
And I gazed into your deep blue eyes
I tasted the romance on your lips
But failed to notice the ominous clouds on the horizon

Exhausted from passion, we eventually collapsed in each other’s arms
Still sweaty, and breathing heavily-
We looked up at the magnificent display of stars
Our naked bodies illuminated by the moonlight

As a shooting star danced across the sky
I turned, kissed your strawberry lips, and said “I love you”

As if my lips tasted of poison, you immediately pulled away
And began to weep bitter tears

The more I tried to comfort you, the more you pulled away
Eventually saying, in between tears
That our romantic rendezvous would soon be over

I promised to love you forever
But you cast me out of your heart
Like a fallen angel from heaven

Heartbreak began to swallow me like quicksand
And I begged you to reconsider
Still myself confused from the sudden turn of events

You kissed me one last time, and then vanished
From the sanctuary of your love, I was banished
Left alone to sink in the quicksand of heartbreak
And eventually drown in an ocean of loneliness

Surrendering to despair
I lay my head down, closed my eyes, and began to drift away

As my last bit of consciousness faded
My alarm clock rang
And I awoke in a cold sweat of freezing tears…

Most dreams eventually fade
But the memory of your deep blue eyes
Which were both as gentle and ferocious as the sea
Never have
