Ode to Kris

	’T is a vision of true loveliness 
	  ’T is Heaven on Earth 
	Soothing music, sweet perfume, soft touch 
	  A haven for thou poignant heart 
	Generous pillows of comfort 
	  For which to rest a weary head 
	They are twin orbs of golden flesh 
	  Feminine charms of artistic grandeur 
	They are the most glorious of treasures 
	  Virtuous temples for admirers to adore 
	’T is her bountiful breasts which 
	  Fill my dreams and ignite my soul 

	’T is her magnificent teats 
	  Alluring buds of rosy pink 
	Ample adornments on her majestic breasts 
	  Succulent berries of nurturing delight 
	Wanton in nature, enticing lustful desires 
	  And yearning for a tender touch 
	But chaste of heart, and virginal 
	  Desiring endearment from only a true love 
	’T is the sultry nipples of her august breasts 
	Which my passionate lips hunger to kiss 

	’T is only a woman 
	  ’T is only Heaven personified 
	An individual of enticing beauty 
	  Pure in body and soul 
	A beauty of numerous treasures 
	  A visage of sparkling gems, radiant sunshine 
	Of charity for all, giving of all 
	  Bringing only joy and warmth 
	’T is only her virtue which she preserves 
	  Chastity, sweet chastity 
	She is clad in a belt of chastity 
	  Stronger than steel, fragile as a rose petal 
	’T is heartfelt love which has kept her vestal 
	  For only of this is her belt fashioned 

	’T is her name the wind whispers 
	  ’T is her bounteous breasts 
	Beautiful eyes, charming smile 
	  Her captivating voice, her winsome laugh 
	The curves of her body, its firmness 
	  The gentle sway of her hips, her breasts 
	’T is these things which deluge my thoughts 
	  ’T is her which brings me joy 
	She is the reason the sun shines 
	  She is a blossom waiting to bloom 
	A delicate flower yet to reach its full glory 
	  Eagerly anticipating the warmth to come 
	’T is this angel my tingling soul covets 
	  And my trembling fingers wish to caress

	              Sea of Life

	’T is a young girl who set sail alone 
	    Scared, curious, bewildered 
	’T is answers to a mystery she seeks 
	    Life, love, happiness, pain 
	On a sea of uncertainty she travels 
	    A prisoner of the tides, currents, and winds 

	’T is a young woman who sails alone 
	    On a journey between two shores 
	’T is in the eye of a hurricane she sets 
	    Turbulent past, present calm, uncertain future 
	Only knowledge from her past, and wisdom of the future 
	    Will show her the way 

	’T is a beautiful woman who must find her way 
	    To land on a far away shore 
	’T is a long, arduous voyage, but 
	    ’T is answers to the mysteries she will find 
	Her distant shore lies just beyond the horizon

		      Shadow Life

		Many, many years ago 
		  Forever it seems 
		A wondrous miracle occurred 
		  A girl was born 

		Yet, a terrible tragedy befell 
		  She was a boy 
		Her heart and soul was female 
		  Though her body male 

		Few, if any, understand 
		  Their words cut deep 
		She has to hide what's inside 
		  Living a lie 

		Dreams, wishes, and prayers were made 
		  Day after day, year after year 
		Sorrow and suffering wax 
		  She can only cry 

		A shadow is all she is 
		  Not really alive 
		Existing because of her body 
		  Which is not really hers 

		She wishes desperately to live 
		  To live as her true self 
		Death has often looked sweet 
		  She longs for peace 

		Will tomorrow be different? 
		  Will hope be born? 
		Will the mirror ever reflect herself? 
		  Will she be released? 

		She is a prisoner 
		  She cannot love 
		Though she aches with passion 
		  It, too, is trapped 

		She desires an understanding love 
		  Someone who sees her 
		A love who knows her deep inside 
		  The woman she truly is 

		A shadow is all she is 
		  Lost to life 
		Lost to love 
		  Hungry for peace 
		Yearning to be set free

		   She Is

	     She is the sunshine 
	       The moonglow 
	     A silver bead of dew 
	       A tender drop of rain 
	     The twinkle of a star 
	       A diamond on black velvet 
	     She is a rose blooming eternally 

	     She is mysterious as the seas 
	       As majestic as the mountains 
	     As captivating as a harvest moon 
	       Serene as an eagle in flight 
	     Joyous as children at play 
	       She is a heavenly angel 

	     She is a shooting star 
	       A lighthouse in a sea of misery 
	     The full moon illuminating the dark of night 
	       The rising sun, a painted sunset 
	     A rose's fragrance 
	       Its delicate, tender petals 
	     She is love 

	     She is the passing of time 
	       The learning of a child 
	     The sowing of a fertile field 
	       Reaping of a bountiful harvest 
	     The gem which adorns my life 
	       My inspiration, my deliverance 
	     She is my true love

	                    Somewhere

	       Somewhere 
	     Through the haziness, the corruption, the hatred 
	   The cruelty, the evil 
	     Through the despair, the hurt, the Solitude 

	       Somewhere 
	     Beyond the foul city streets, the dismal fog 
	   Or the downpour of the cold, heartless rain 
	     Beyond the biting, numbing Cold 

	       Somewhere 
	     Far away from the bewildered eyes 
	   The questioning stares, the disgusted sneers 
	     Far away from the judgmental Hypocrites 

	       Somewhere 
	     Past the never-ending horizon 
	   And the vaporous currents of time 
	     Past the realms of this World 

	       There is a Place . . .

			Twilight Shadow

		Twilight on a moonlit night
		 Past the never-ending horizon
		  In a forest of old doeth stands a tree
		   Nothing more than a shadow and a whisper . . .

		A shadow is all I am
		 Lost to life . . . lost to love
		  A fallen star filled with pain
		   In my heart, I am all alone . . .
