Soulless
Copyright @ 1998 Joyce Tres
A hint of destiny in your eyes,
tribulation in your voice,
thoughts of passion like lights reside,
cloaked behind immoral deeds.
Twisted rhythms beating fast,
isolation in your dreams
iron cages made to seal,
harvested unforgotten scenes.
Childish notions have begun,
to destroy my woman's ways,
previous words of condemnation,
insane gestures become ardent praise.
Wisdom fosters sights unknown,
glimpses of my wildest dreams,
parting breathes life to see,
remnants of a path pristine.
Out there glistening in the sun,
victors tale that wants to be,
thoughts of soulless have begun,
like blackness to the open sea.
Oh So Elusive Me
Copyright @ 1998 Joyce Tres
Some things you cannot hold,
a snow flake that melts in your hand,
a spirit that is fiery and free,
the sun that shines down where you stand.
And the oh so elusive me.
These things you cannot hold,
the writing made by a plane in the sky,
the air that we breathe until we die,
a kiss that is thrown in a good bye.
And the oh so elusive me.
There are some things you cannot hold,
a whisper softly spoken in the night,
the gentle breeze rolling off the ocean's coast,
a star above glimmering so bright.
And the oh so elusive me.
But for the things you cannot hold,
a memory is made in your heart,
of a time when you enjoyed each one,
no matter how brief until the part.
Even of the oh so elusive me.
Sadness
Copyright @1997 Joyce Tres
Sadness is just
the flip side of happiness,
so I'll stand on my head for awhile.
And everyone will look and point
and think that girl sure has style.
Just another bimbo gone wild,
just another woman beguiled,
just another sexual denial,
looks like another frustrated child.
But soon the sadness will pass
for we know moods never do last.
So it is better not to do anything so rash
best just to organize and take out the trash.
For tomorrow will be another day
r and it is always better to play then pay.
Especially for a woman who is light of heart
and believes each day is a brand new start.
Reflections in Time
Copyright 1996 Joyce Tres
Reflections in the moonlight,
like memories in time,
dancing upon the water,
like glimpses through my mind.
History through the ages,
are etched here to find,
memories like looking glass,
cresting the waves of time.
Some are based in reality
some are elaborate tales,
handed down from generations
lessons to learn unveiled.
Distant moons of time
call to us, places just out of reach.
Reflections, mirrored in the moonlight
for all the world to teach.
A Woman Bold
Copyright 1998 Joyce Tres
I have been bold, as a lioness
hunting for prey in my youth,
sensual touch, getting my share,
blissful nights, lonely no more.
Something in your eyes,
I know that look.
I have felt the warm body,
illusion of closeness,
need fulfilling need,
the conquest-- having was
important not the man,
I know that style.
I have tasted the freedom,
been a player in the game,
moved on out of boredom,
never going back,
not a second look.
I know you,
I see my reflection.
Hopeless
Copyright 1998 Joyce Tres
Gently weaving
a thread of chance
that once was life's
hopeful dance.
Flowing freely
taken by fate
love's distance
virgins silently wait.
Snuffed candles
smoking in the rain
torrid games of love
nobody claims.
Weeping silently
darkness of night
dragons slain
spirits flight.
Innocent death
left empty with rage
embittered, engorged
middle aged.
