Pondering

I turn on to a crossroad. Which path do I take?
Both look like each other. No difference do I see.
I could court adventure or take the Narrow Path.
The roads may lead to fire or a beautiful bright crystal lake.
What happens when a tree blocks the path in front of me suddenly I've noticed all around me is fake.
Life is merely an illusion. Pictures we conceive.
Life has shades of color. It's not just black and white.
When we can't see the details, we argue and fight.
If we choose the right road, it helps us to believe.
So take the small steps carefully, the big ones fast.  
Take a deep breath and remember, this too shall pass.

Ritual

I'd love us to be together
I hate it when we part
There's no storm we can't weather
Bound by soul and heart

Hearts and minds and voices
Combined in glorious song
All life is based on choices
And we pray we are not wrong

When we finally join in flesh
As mind is joined and heart
Our souls will full mesh
We never more will part

Ribbons

Ribbons on wrists
Stronger then wire
Feeding my ecstasy
Bringing me higher
More than gravity
Holding me down
Put in my place
With a smile or a frown
You hold the power
Over my soul
Fulfilling my body
Making me whole

Fear

Afraid is such a broad term
But currently how I feel
Afraid of what I'm feeling
Afraid it could be real
Terror down to my bones
Anticipation and dread
If this isn't terror or fear
I cringe at what's being said
This world is crashing down on me
Anxiety closing in
As the curtains fall dark and slack
I recounts all my sins
Fear is knowing you aren't best
Your best isn't good enough
No matter how you play the game
You play a bit too rough
No one will ever think on you
With stardust in their eyes
Or longing speak your name
With a heaving hearty sighs
The world is full of us
The normal everyday folk
The ones afraid of everything
Too scared to even joke
Our numbers they are legion
Out of cities we do rise
But no one ever hears us
For silent are our cries

Untitled 789

Wither you wander
I wander too
Following everywhere
Lost in you

The world fades
Sounds dim
Except for my heartbeat
A loving hymn

My Sweetest Apologies

I present to you
My sweetest apologies
How must I prove it
That this is no tease
Coming forth as you will
Hands and feet and eyes
Your puppet for a day
Beware how the time flies
Amends mending while we play
Working your way up my thighs
Trying to stay silent and still
While part of my Soul slowly dies
As you eat my heart bit by bit
I think I've achieved my prize

AU

I wish you were always by my side
There would be nothing left to hide
In your arms, I'd be content
With no more sins to repent

The view is grand from here
No longer blocked by tears
Picturesque and heaven sent
With no more sins to repent

I fold into your arms
Knowing I'm safe from harm
Is this what the Poets meant?
With no more sins to repent

I wish you were here by my side
With no more sins to repent

Haunting

In a wave of memory
A scent drifts past me
I knew you couldn't quit it
I knew you couldn't quit me
Haunting me in bursts
Shame I thought of it first
I wish I could quit you
I wish I could quit this
Painful and joyful the same
I'm dying to call your name
I fall over and over for you
I fall each minute for you
Souls forever bound
In your heart I'm found

Naive (Pantoum)

We share a heart so tender
Some do think us naive
We two have only surrendered
We allow ourselves to believe

Some just think us naive
They are unaware of the cost
While we allow ourselves to believe
The real world can be lost

They don't perceive the true cost
That we two have sundered
The real world we have lost
While we share our hearts so tender

Dankbar/ Grateful

Ich bin Dankbar...
Dass ich immer noch Luft zum Atmen habe.

Ich bin Dankbar...
Dass ich jetzt mehr über meine Familie weiß, dass ich jeden Tag mehr lerne und mich über die Feiertage mit mehr Familie verbinde.

Ich bin Dankbar...
Für die Freunde, die ich in der Vergangenheit hatte, für die Freunde, auf die ich in der Zukunft hoffe, aber besonders auf die, die ich jetzt habe. Du bist die Liebe für mich und ich liebe dich.

Ich bin Dankbar...
Ich bin reich genug, um viel zu essen, ein Dach über dem Kopf, eine Krankenversicherung zu haben und mich derjenigen bewusst zu sein, die es nicht sind. Ich versuche diesen anderen zu helfen, wenn ich kann.

Ich bin Dankbar...
dass ich zwar die Sprache lerne, aber nicht zu oft in Deutsch schreiben muss.

I am grateful...
That I still have air in which to breath.

I am grateful...
That I now know more about my family, that I learn more every day and connect with more family over the holidays.

I am grateful...
For the friends I had in the past, for the friends I hope for in the future, but especially those I have now. You are the dearest and I love you.

I am grateful...
I am rich enough to have plenty to eat, a roof over my head, health insurance, and to be aware of those who are not. I try to help other people if I can.

I am grateful...
that I although I am learning the language, I don't have to write in German too often.

enkel (simple)

Jeg er en enkel kvinne
Jeg snakker enkle ord
Jeg ønsker en enkel mann
Jeg vil leve et enkelt liv
Noen ganger er det enklere enn komplisert

I am a simple woman
I speak simple words
I desire a simple man
I want to live a simple life
Sometimes simple is better than complicated

Vivir

Deseo vivir en tus ojos
Están llenos de galaxias de estrellas
Quiero hacerlos mi mundo

No podría querer mas
Las lágrimas que contengo
Dame paz

Solo llama y vengo
Y ponemos combinados
Escuchando canciones que compongo

I desire to live in your eyes
They are filled with galaxies of stars
I want to make them my world

I couldn't want more
The tears that I hold back
Bring me peace

Just call and I come
And we lay combined
Listening to songs I compose

Imagination

You are in my head,
But you are not real
Watching everything I do,
What I think and touch and feel

Curling up next to me
A ghostly figure in the night
Arms wrapped around me
Holding me tight

Phantom hands holding fast
My head bowed low
Tears flowing freely
Knowing what I know

You share in my pain
Helping me to heal
But you are only in my head
I wish that you were real

(Pantoum)

I tuoi occhi, Solo noi due esistono
Nous ne vivons que l'un pour l'autre
I nostri cuori e le nostre anime sono piene tra loro
Cela devait être

Nous ne vivons que l'un pour l'autre
Mis ojos ven estrellas en los tuyos
Cela devait être
Me tienes embrujado

Mis ojos ven estrellas en los tuyos
I nostri cuori e le nostre anime sono piene tra loro
Me tienes embrujado
I tuoi occhi, Solo noi due esistono

English translation

In your eyes, Only we two exist.
We live only for each other
Our hearts and souls are filled with each other
This was meant to be

We live only for each other
My eyes see stars in yours
This was meant to be
You have me bewitched

My eyes see stars in yours
Our hearts and souls are filled with each other
You have me bewitched
In your eyes, Only we two exist.

Forevermore

Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true
You get to be as free as can be
While forevermore loving me
Even though now it's hard to see
And you can't believe it true
Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true

Falling

The moon begins to fall
The distance I thought so far
It seems was not far at all

Far off a bright shining star,
Beckons a clarion call,
The cry feels so bizarre,

The journey starts with a crawl
Accompanied by guitars
While Moon furthers falls

What is Sexy

Kisses cooling on my collarbone in the breeze
Hands wound in my hair
Nibbles on my nape
Pulling me so close we co-mingle
That naughty little v
The difference between up and down
Experimenting with both
A happy medium

Respect (katauta)

Velvety smooth soft
Laying upon your mercy
Bow and show respect

Embrace

I bear the brunt of blue stares daily
Seeking comfort in well worn arms
Hiding in the warmth of your soul
Not wanting to leave it's shelter
Inhaling the fragrant aroma of you
Sharing space and feeling and touch
Time stops for a moment
As you rest your jaw on my head
We now exist as one

Untitled 617

Crystalline conversations with the stars
As winds chill my bones
Talking to the forgotten
Talking to myself
Only you would know or care
Who shares these whispered words
Secrets told to ghosts
Memory held in bond
A fire banked and ready
Feed the flame

Frame

The columns frame the stars
As we share pieces of our souls
I heard the midnight bell toll
The sound seems so far

We stay safe where we are
Tucked in our little hole
With columns framing the stars
Sharing pieces of souls

I hear softly playing guitars
The night is almost controlled
Someday we will pay a toll
For taking our love way too far
When columns framed the stars

No More Tears

The clouds have filled the darkening sky
And all the world seems black
When your love has said goodbye
Even nature feels your lack

Raindrops hide the tears so well
And wind obscures its marks
Walk inside your own sweet hell
Watch as lightning sparks

Moving into safer spaces
Feeling loneliness grow
Longing for a familiar places
Knowing pain now shows

If only you were here
There would be no more tears

Return

A patient pause gives way
Two hearts fluttering in time
As space between them builds
Their peace slowly dying
A beautifully staged play
But now the page turns
No longer bound as one
The world crashes and burns
All things are ending now
As everything eventually must
Time has come to concede
Return this relationship to dust

When The Dusk Meets The Dawn

When the dusk meets the dawn
The time is short but shared
Our night will soon be gone

In this time our souls are bared
Laid open for exam
The time is short but shared

Like a sacrificial lamb
Two hearts beating a review
Laid open for exam

The sun gives us our clue
Our time is near an end
Two hearts beating a review

We've become more than friends
During our rendezvous
Our time is near an end

I'm glad that it was you
During our rendezvous
When the dusk meets the dawn
Our night will soon be gone

Sense

The essence of you
Distilled
Waifs through the air
Carried on a silent breeze
You murmur sweet nothings
In my ear
As you run light fingers
Over my salty skin
While we watch the sun rise

Lost and Found

Bright and brilliant blue
Shimmering, resplendent
Reaching into my soul
Curing my ills
Warming my heart
Filling me with your love
My whole body trembles
With the thought
You turn your eyes to me
And I am lost
Find me

Power

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

I breath into tinder
Sparks fly into the air
Warmth flows all around me
Power, raw and laid bare

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

Drafts meander and glide
Bringing storms from the west
The mist begins to form
The storm starts to crest

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

The rain falls gently
New formed fire hissing
A cold comfort now
Reminding of all that's missing

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

Behind stout built walls
Laid of earth and stone
Bring the fire inside
Make the house a home

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

Elements contained
Outside brought within
The power is in ourselves
That is where we begin

Fire warm me
Air surround me
Water nourish me
Earth balance me

Space

You fit so neatly behind me
Like the missing piece of a puzzle
Cozy corners
We share a space never meant for two
Wrapped in a haze of blue and gold
As the world lays silent and waiting
The sun touches the horizon
I am alone
This space has grown
Now meant to hold two
I feel small
Waiting for you
To return

Haunted Dreams

My cheek with hand you pressed
As rain poured slowly down
Others saftey you did stress
I quieted you with a sound

You realized what came next
My cheek still in your hand
I told you truthfully yes
No, I could not stand

Together we cried in stress
And kissed one final time
My cheek with hand you pressed
As if a fatal sign

Then while I breathed in pain
The last sign of distress
You held me to the last
While my cheek with hand you pressed

Barriers

Colors shared back and forth
Send love along the ancient line
Filling hearts with joy and mirth
Beating in Rhythm and Rhyme
Between us now are left no walls
Removed are barriers too
Free to hear beloved calls
The answer always rings true

Darkness, Stillness, Silence

Two entities
Dwell within this room
You, motion, sound
Like a flower in bloom
Then there is also here
Darkness, stillness, silence
And these you shall not fear
Feel yourself dwelling
Within the darkness, stillness, silence
There you are at peace
If you are willing
Like a babe within the womb
Carefree, full of life, rejoicing
You dwell within the darkness, stillness, silence
Like bluebirds dwell in June
Feel yourself slipping
Away from pain and fear
You are happy again
No more silence tears
Life is nowhere near you
And all you know is gone
What's left is all that's in your soul
For that is what belongs

The World

Through your eyes I see your world…

I watch the people passing by,
                       I see reflected lights.
I see them stop and stare.
                       I watch your mind achieve new heights.

Through your heart I know the world.

                       Your patience and eagarness marks your soul.
You are calm, showed me how to care.
                       Your love makes it easier to find my own.
If all the world were you, no one would fear how I fear losing you.

With Eyes, and Hearts, and Hands we go through this world together.

Love Remains

Ties that bind
Can not be unwound
Blood we share
Shall not be impaired
Words we say
Are not in our head
Places we go
Show love we spent
Things we do
Or places we hid
Love remains

Make It Count

Calendars are ubiquitous
Making time tick at us
The counting of hours
Both pleasant and sour
Reminding us all
Of deadlines that call
Timing could be perfect
Or things could be wrecked
Depending on your planning
There is only one question remaining
Is it time?
Or not?

Rumours

You say, We've got nothing in common
No common ground to stand on,
And we're falling apart
Every time you take me out boy
We see another girl whose held your hand
And she acts like she doesn't care with me
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
' Cause anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

Pastoral

This field lies fallow
Ready for the crop
Fill it over the top
Leave no hollows

Your people lie sallow
Almost ready to drop
Dependent on a well filled pot
And drippings and tallow

Time is now to plant and seed
Follow the cart, removed the weed
Challenges faced, Plans at the ready
Moving forward, Careful and steady
So when the clock rings dinner time
The fields will be sewn, weeded, and primed.

Thoughts

I think of you and weep for days gone by
Why did you choose this path, this way
Days go by so slowly in this place
The pace is so idle it's almost a statue
Can't you just feel the time fall away
One day we will miss it, the days that have gone
Dawns and sunsets viewed apart
Hearts beating together in sync
At least, I think

FadeAway

Brilliant binding buoys me
Bringing me back beneath your
Beauteous blue-green eyes
Everyone envies this eternal entete
Never noticing the keening and the noise
So they simply stay away
Absence and alone are real
Don't desert those who are dear
They need you most of all

Sonnet In Gold

I call upon our sacred vow
Use it to drag you in.
In this world of rot and sin
I need you so much now

You reside beneath my skin
Like some powerful ancient Jinn
You wear me like a stolen flask
A procrastinated, uncompleted task

The time has come to cast the binding
Cord renewed, remade
Not that love could alter or fade
But sometimes it needs reminding

The simple elements remain true
But what never changes is me and you

Notes in time

Quick while no one's looking,
Let's run away from the world
This madness and confusion,
It's too much too take anymore
Who needs explanations?
Let them puzzle over it for a while
(But I have obligations)
They can be dealt with I think
I just need to be with you now
Before the world comes crashing down
(You're crazy you know)
Completely mad
But that doesn't change my feelings
My love for you
(Ditto)
We need the time away
I need to see you
I need you

Timing

This isn't the optimum time...
Not to tell you
Not while the world is spinning this direction
Certainly not for me

But baser urges...
Will not be denied
Cannot be cullified
Have no chance to the change the wind

What was started here...
Cannot be undone
Won't be on spun
Finds us all the closer together

Blue and Gold (Terzanelle)

What's good in this world is blue and gold
What frightens us black and red
The tell tale signs of the loving soul shows bright and bold

The perfect sky and sea wonderous to behold
With words that are better left unsaid
What's good in this world is blue and gold

Under rigors that would make a better men fold
Take for a fortnight or more to bed
The tell tale sign of loving soul shows bright and bold

These are the days of which stories are told
Filled with foreboding and dread
The tell tale sign of a loving soul shows bright and bold

Bring warmth to darkness and cold
Out of the abyss we are led
What's good in the world is blue and gold
The tell tale sign of a loving soul shows bright and bold

Untitled 555

Storm rising on the horizon
I remember dancing among the lightning
It never touched my body
Only my soul
Scorching where it hit
Binding us together
As we walked
Hand in hand
Calmly
In a forest of lightning

Protection Sonnet

Protect this house and all within who dwell
Depart all who mean to vanishéd the peace
If one doth come ring on alarum Bell
Awake, turn on the light, take up the feast

Raise the sea wall, crashing sound, dumped and drowned,
Ready the lights and powder the flares,
Draw the windlass to cover the ground all around,
Open the vent to allow for the flow of air

Thieves will be followed, cut-pursed and leery,
Goods will be sold back,when caught in the act,
Violence left, only for those who deal with Moirai*
Schooling criminals and shame, justice and tact

Please bless this prayer make its words heaven sent
And show those who would have harmed it, punishment

* In Greek mythology, the Moirai or Moerae /ˈm ɪrˌiː/ or /ˈmiːˌriː/ (Ancient Greek: Μοῖραι, "apportioners"), often known in English ...fates.

Le Soleil (The Sun)

¿Es-tu prêt?
Arriver comme le soleil
Brûler mes os à travers
Ce résidu réchauffe mon âme
J'ai enterré les restes de mon âme profondément dans la cendre
Je me LYE passer à l'acier
Si je devais changer mon âme ou mon cœur
Je ne suis pas prêt.
Mais pour vous, je vais essayer.
Je viens à vous avec des os carbonisés et l'âme de cendres et de lessive dans mon coeur,
Connaître
Ce bateau est à vous
Pour travailler votre volonté sur moi

Are you ready?
Arriving like the sun
Burning my bones clean through
This residue warms my soul
I buried the remains of of it deep in the ash
There I lye turning to steel
If I had to change my soul or my heart,
I am not ready.
But for you, I will try.
I come to you with charred bones and soul of dash and lye in my heart,
Know,
This vessel is yours
To work your will on me

Untitled #828

My eyes are like unruly hounds
They waver, close, and fall asleep
Encumbered with compassion
And the secrets that they keep
Until the moon grows thin
Until the seas run dry
Until the stars go dim
No inconstant, inconsistent love am I

...But....

Too many nights lay heavy
Burdened with my pain and your lies
I hope you know that I am ready
To carry your secrets and rise

....So....

Until the clock strikes elevens
No need to take it in your head to flee
Lying side by side
The pressure of you against me
I feel your burgeoning love
Laying aside me and mine
No need to move right now
The world itself will be just fine

....Because....

Everything has a beginning
And everything has an end
The middle is sitting right here.
Time and two and twice again
The sky turns blue and gold.
Morning seeks to part this pair
Should the universe achieve this goal
The whole world will find itself stripped bare.

Diventando(Becoming)

Tu vieni dentro me lentamente
Come un seme che è stato piantato
Si inizia a fiorire
I tuoi colori sono belli
Il mio meglio è il meglio di te
Il mondo è posto meraviglioso
Per due diventando uno

You come inside me slowly
Like a seed that has been planted
You begin to bloom
Your colors are beautiful
My best is the best of you
The world is a wonderful place
For two becoming one

La Noche/The Night

Cuando se levanta la luna
Y las estrellas comienzan a brillar
Yo sostengo tu mano en la mía
Empiezo a temblar

Asustado de perderte
La fase fresca del amor
Quererte para siempre
Ten piedad de este pobre pecador

When the moon rises
And the stars begin to shine
I hold your hand in mine
I begin to tremble

Afraid of losing
Love's fresh phase
Wanting you for always
Take pity on this poor sinner

Sight

Call on me in that darkest hour
From your dark and hidden cower
I'll be what you need me to
Do what no one else can do a
And take you to my hidden bower

Our love is your secret power
When the rest of the world seems sour
I know you're feeling blue
The world will see what it wants

We enjoy the grandest flower
Grown and strewn from highest towers Bloomed in love so true
You know just what to do
We possess all the power
The world will see what it wants

Untitled 567

Open your mind and free your soul
The world is more than you know
Real life can take it's toll
Stopping your life energy and flow
Moving while standing still
Meditate to clear your mind
Unlock and take your fill
The world will be yours you'll find

Knowledge

Sleep beside me forever
Claim your portion and peace
Let fears drift into the aether
Pain and sorrow shall cease
Tomorrow is light years away
Consequences fail to show
By my side you'll stay
There is nothing else to know

Healing Kisses

Healing begins with a kiss
Such a kiss can only fan the flames
Don't blame me if I shudder under your touch
It doesn't take much to take me higher
The fire grows deadly but I don't care
Share with me Healing Kisses
Who cares if our bliss is seditious

La Pluie (The Rain)

Vous pensez que le monde tourne autour de vous
Mais vous n'êtes pas mieux que moi
Nous sommes tous égaux
Et la pluie tombe sur nous tous

You think the world revolves around you
But you are no better than I
We are all equal
And the rain falls on us all

The Harvest

My world begins in your hands
It's flame is fanned by your breath
Build it carefully
Breath life into me
Inhabit this new world
Fill it's mountains and plains
With riches and fruits
Reap the harvest

Willpower

As we lay, hip-to-hip
Breathing each other in
I call upon ancient gods
To worship with me
At the altar of you
Offering wine shared on lips
Kneeling at your feet
Giving, sacrificing
With wild abandon
This soul is yours
Make of it as you will

Golden Chimes

Softly I turn to your eyes,
Burning with love...
How true this all feels,
Destined to do so much more.
A path from above awaits,
Talk of it does it no justice. 
To the pealing of golden chimes,
Alone I kneel, together we rise.

Sin Eater

I miss the feel of your skin
My sin is yours to steal
Unreal how this became home
Atoning has never been easy
Dizzy I fall into your arms
You disarm my defenses so well
Quell this feeling inside me

Game, Set and Match

There was a man about town
Who wore nary a frown
He smiled all the day
He laughed and he played
His life was lightness and sound.

There was a woman who stood
For virtue and honor and good
One day on a lark,
She went to a park
Now she's more then a touch dark

Then when woman met man
There true happiness began
They went for it all
4 kids, weekends and malls
They made a firm line in the sand.

Now everyone's happy they've met
A pleasing result of a tet-a-tet
This seldom occurs
Most end in never-weres
But this was a true love set

Cantare (Sing)

Ti amo fino alla luna e ritorno
Finché il sole non dimentichi di scintillare
Tu fai il mio mondo completo
Tu faccia il mio corpo cantare

I love you to the moon and back
Till the sun forgets to glow
You make my world complete
You make my body sing

Tus Ojos (Your Eyes)

Hay estrellas en tus ojos
Me pierdo en ellos todos los días
El mundo cae en el caos
Ellos son tan divinos

There are stars in yours eyes
I get lost in them daily
The world falls into chaos
They are so divine

A Vision in Blue

A rhapsody in cerulean
A prayer to sapphire skies
The perfect shade of everything
A universe in your eyes
The gravity drags me under
Beckoning pulls me in
Reading my darkest fears
Knowing my every sin
I couldn't escape if I wanted
Trapped in a vision in blue
Drowning in ultramarine
All caught up in you

Simple

I breathe you in
Take in the smell of your skin
'Twas that moment I fell

Quiet, unwell in my personal hell
Then you came along
A simple song to right my wrongs

Golden bells ring
Lifted on wings when you sing
Soon it will be

Like

Don't like it
Why is everything bad always so good?
Don't want it
But the thought is parent to the deed
Don't need it
But perhaps I do
Like you
Want you
Need you
Love you

For my love, Boo.

I feel so glowing and like the rain when it falls sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see rainbows,
I love you more than words can say…

You’re so stupendous! This love is eternal!
I can’t resist your soul, it’s true!
The hands and eyes fade into shadows…
I am absolutely crazy for you!

Your soul is golden; your heart is pure,
And my heart is truly in your hands.
I could lay down just breathing ‘til life was done,
But YOU are the focus of my plans.

This peaceful calm is stupendous my love,
And for you, Boo, I thank Heaven above.

Dusk

When golden light through windows break
And day begins to rest
We pause with measured breath and take
A look at how we're blessed
The colors are so bold and bright
They put the world to shame
I wish it could be this always
And never turn to night
But I would tire of the same
And miss the sun's bright blaze

Treasured

We shared the rain for a while
But then the sky when blue
Led by your warm, radiant smile
The clouds hid from view
Days shared are golden
Treasured, precious and few
Love makes me bold in
All I say and do

ébloui (Dazzled)

L'amour est dans vos yeux
Le monde que je vois là aussi
Il n'y a que nous deux
Par vous, je serai toujours ébloui

(Love is in your eyes
The world I see there too
There are only two of us
I will always be dazzled by you)

My World (Villanelle)

You are the only thing that's true
I feel my love grow bright
Know my world is only you

While my heart is feeling blue
And nothing else feels right
You are the only thing that's true

Your love changed my point of view
And made the darkness light
Know my world is only you

Never could I be untrue
Or give up without a fight
Know my world is only you

This love I will never rue
No matter what my plight
You are the only thing that's true
Know my world is only you

Peace

The sky has gone gray-green and soft
As we lay in each other's arms
The clouds are no longer threatening
Just gently covering the sun like a blanket
From the shelter of you, I see the rain
It does not frighten or discomfort
All the world is peaceful from here
Let's let everything else just disappear

Suspense

The air collapses in
Dark fills my mind
Feeling deserted
Holding on by a thread
Only one thing
Keeps this broken heart
Beating
Waiting
Suspended
Your Love Alone

Downfall (Rubáiyát)

How long shall I wait for you?
Does waiting prove my love more true?
Not sure what thought hurts me most
Either way my heart is blue

The past is coming to haunt me in ghosts
Asking who I love the most
My answer should not surprised at all
I hope that God forgives my boast

But you have me in total thrall
Over and over again I fall
I just hope you love me too
Or you shall be my downfall

Moments

A flurry of hands
Making me shiver
Making me quiver
Running all over me
Breathing comes ragged
Breathing comes staggered
I rise to your touch
Help me I'm falling
I think you're stalling
This moment is forever

Chance

Patience isn't my strong suit
So forgive if I move too fast
This tragedy I've made of our lives
It isn't meant too last

We need to wait for the moment
Seize it before it passes by
Chances missed become sorrow untold
Heartborn bands come untied

Faith

Bless me in the morning
Everyday I need it more
Never one to heed a warning
Everyday I need you more

Determined to see this through
I follow where you go
Careful not to let it show
Trying to make it to tomorrow

Don't leave me here alone
Everyone says you will
Acknowledge my faith in you
Reassured, I take my fill

Bands

Falling faster as I go
Time itself seems to slow
It's a hard battle to fight
Cursed with the Second Sight
Anticipating each blow

But since your love I know
I feel a golden glow
Warm and burning bright
Love strengthens brittle bands

It feels like so long ago
Your love begin to flow
This wonderous joyous sight
My beautiful broken knight
It took you to show
Love strengthens brittle bands

Time (Kyrielle Sonnet)

Laying bound in Endless gold
Tales of fortune and glory told
Not our time to pleasure sate
While others live, we sit and wait

With patience that all the world can see,
Our time, Our hearts are not yet free Not yet early, but much too late
While others live, we sit and wait

Across the water, across the land Someday soon we'll make us stand
Until that time we rail at fate
While others lives, we sit and wait

Laying bound in endless gold
While others live, we sit and wait

Swear

I'm drowning in your eyes
I burn at your touch
No longer able to breath
Should have sworn
By something
That could have hurt me
It felt irreverent
To swear our vows
By each other
When we never have
We never will have
Couldn't possibly be
Together

Wild Tides

Clenching, quenching, I fill myself with you
My cup runneth over, liquid hot and ready
Love pure and steady, Vows sworn true

Rising, Falling, The pull of the tides
Hearts beating wild, breath becomes frantic
Suddenly mantic, Eyes open wide

Sitting, Waiting, the tide rushing out
Peaceful and calm, Spent for a while
Biding in exile, Living now without

Stone

Feel me
Learn me
Breathe me
I crawl under your akin
I feed your body with mine
Solid as stone
Faith like mountains
Slow to move
But when it comes
The world will change

(Fire) Burn(s)

The lack of you leaves me dry
I wither, I crumble, I crack
My ashes scatter to the sky
But no matter how hard they fly
Your magnetic pull brings me back

It may be time for a new tack
Offer the honey instead of the lime
It may not cure my lack
But it will help bide the time

Return at the end of the day
When sun still lights in your eyes
But if you must stay away
Try for the break of the day
When the next little part of me dies

But if you tell only lies
If you have no intent to return
Tell me no bittersweet goodbyes
Leave me alone, To Burn

Air

You flow through me
Beating hearts in time
Sharing thoughts in rhyme
If only you were free
I wait here patiently
Knowing you are mine
Watching how you shine
Holding your heart's key
Random thoughts rush in
Pushing out your voice
I hear the quiet calling
The echo and the din
I have no other choice
Over and over I'm falling

The Burning and The Cold

The burning when we touch
The cold when we part
The hollow remains
Of my once beating heart
Pulled into pieces
Remade and reborn
The endless circle
Of love and forlorn
The distance and the silence
The closeness and the peace
One day it will vanish
Patient cares will cease
Till the stars finish shining
Till sun and moon go out
Hold me here beside you
My love never in doubt

Daybreak

Before the world wakes
We lay in each other
Holding onto each other's soul
Keeping quiet and hoping
The day passes us by
So we can stay
Cuddled and cosy
Trying to stop time

Perspective

We walk the path, we followed the light
Toes painting patterns in the dew
We did not listen, we did not heed
We played as children our life unseen

Then nature turned, overwhelmed by seaweed
Oh Gaia, help us! won't you?
Come to us this darkened night

Foaming, frothing, frantic and green,
Contrasting to the cool ocean blue What a vivid, haunting site!
Impossible to conceive

The world has returned to right
No longer a fantastic scene
Our perspective returns anew

Cento Time

One season following another,
Not a sound from the pavement,
As stars stop where there are
To reach the impossible.

Safe Space

Lying in the dark
Cocooned in your arms
This is my safe space
Where I belong
If we didn't have to leave
We could lay here forever
This heart must be parted
But still remain bound
Take my soul
You possess it completely
Take my mind
It's lost without you
I will be whole again
When you return to my side
To cuddle, cocooned in the dark

Apart

How I wish you were here
To keep away the fright
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

When the world seems weary
And pain blossoms bright
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

I'd sign away our future
To end my current plight
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

Will you come to hate me?
Will the pattern turn out right?
My decision isn't easy. Your burden isn't light.

Partner piece to this

Within

Concentrate on only you
But bid while I do stay
Love is lost not to you

I wish for love but true
Behold here, within sight
This torn heart, stays with you

End this cold, lonesome night,
Come to me. Pledge love so true.
Stop once more this lover's fight!

Listen and Witness

Earth, Wind, Air, and Fire.
Listen and Witness.
I swear not to betray this trust.
Not to stray from my vow,
Not by look or illusion
By deed or by thought,
Through touch or recoil,
By waking or sleeping,
In speech or in silence,
In absence or in presence,
In this land or any other
Less fire burn me,
Air smother me,
And water cover my grave

Climb

Rendezvous scheduled and planned
Not to a far distant shore
Hair tangled in my hand
Never got past the front door
Breath, speeding and slowing
Causing fire in its wake
The path it etches is flowing
Making me tremble and quake
Heartbeats echo each other
Racing to beat in time
Ascending higher and further
Till there's nowhere left to climb
I've found heaven in your arms
Together we're safe from all harm

Frenemies

Wiping on war paint
Made by Maybelline
Click close the armor
Calvin Klein and Donna Karen
We raise our children
To make war
Who buys the best diapers?
Who walks first?
Can your baby read?
The wages of war
Humanities own battle
We fight each other
Then wonder why
We have no peace
We must know peace
To have peace
Allies become enemies
As night becomes day
Life is to nature
Nature must fight
We must stop war
To stop fighting each other

Suprise

Somehow you still suprise me
After all these years in my head,
In my heart
In my soul
So much we can
Still teach
Still learn from one another
(I'm listening, love...)
Even though we may appear
Similar to the world outside
(...)
We approach the world in different ways
(Tell me, Teach me, love)
We look at a problem
From opposite corners, I guess.
I'm the one who wants
To take it apart
To see how it's made
To know how it works
So it can be put together
In the right way,
The first time
Without problems
(I can see that, dear)
If I may be so bold
And to comment on you
You are a builder
(Go ahead, love, what do I build?)
You build on the foundation that exists
And if that foundation is flawed,
You gently fix it which is the opposite
Of my policy of tear down and rebuild
(I see what you mean)
But the system is redundant
That is good
It covers any flaws
Catches the slips
Together the two are powerfully
As partners
As lovers
As Friends
Bound together for the greater good
(My word is my bond. Never doubt that)
When you begin to share stress gestures,
Then there is no tighter bond
(True. I'm surprised some of ours haven't caught up to us in upkeep.)

Corona

A flash of Corona temporary blinds
The whole world lines those eyes
Uniting with ties, two souls entwined
Forever aligned and never to part
A fitting start to a blissful existence
No resistance is offered or needed
The love seeded needs no disguise
A fitting prize is the binding of minds
