Deception

I once saw a future for us filled with hope
One seemingly blessed by a Pope
But one can not believe all that one sees
Or did my eyes once deceive me?

______

You stay out later and later each day
Keeping yourself far away from me
I try to avoid the fray
Are my eyes still deceiving me?

_____

This isn't my first rodeo
I'm not a kitten stuck up a tree
It may be time for me to be free
'Cause my eyes are no longer deceiving me.

Hashtag Poem (#Whentoyscometolife)

#Whenthetoyscametolife the adults went away
This couldn't have happen on just any day
The children took over with scooters and bikes
They all told their parents to just take a hike
But soon it was over, the children quietly sleep,
The toys fell down lifelesss, while the grown children weep.

Understanding

Though they try to tear you down
When insults and calamities abound
I wish that they would let you be
That they could see the joy I see
Ti capisco, mon ami

When the world has gotten wild
And no one can agree
Adults become the petulant child
Ti capisco, mon ami

So when you feel sad or blue
When you want to be free
The words I speak are always true
Ti capisco, mon ami

Loss

I used to think like you
To be young and naive
When the world was my oyster
And all my wishes fulfilled
But now I bare the scars
Of life obtained
The days unlived
And the time spent in sorrow
I know you will join me one day
And for that loss
For those sorrows yet to come
I pity you

No Nombŕe

Hay un nombŕe que no me posee
Unión no e pertenceer
Por siempre y más creemos
Sólo nos pertenecemos
               ________
El amor no esuma cosa para tocar
Creando nuestros recuerdos
Eso parece implicar
Sólo nos pertenecemos
               _______
¿Puede ser tan fácail, amor?
Que para vivir volvamas
Adonde está todo primor
Y siempre nos pertenecemos

_______________________________________
There is a name that does not posses me.
Togetherness is not belonging.
For forevermore, we believe
We only belong to each other
                   _______  
Love is not a thing to touch
Creating our memories
That seem to imply
We only belong to each other
                    _______ 
Can't it be that easy, love?
That to live we return
To where everything is fine
And we always belong to each other.

Side by Side (Kyrielle)

The world comes crashing through my door
I shall love you forever more
With you I shall eternal bide
Always, forever by your side

When the blue moon is hanging low
And from the world you wish to hide
With my heart, I'll be your sweet beau Always, forever by your side

I'll be there to hold your hand
Love greater than the strongest tide
We're ready to make our final stand
Always, forever side by side

The Tower

You call me in your darkest hour
When times are feeling tough
I know I can be more than enough Together we hold the power
Like the seed of some ancient flower
We dangle over the bluff
Ready to fly with just a puff
Off ancient vaulted towers

Without a word you disappear
The tower crumbles and falls
I feel my world explode
Buried in thoughts of sorrow and fear
Waiting, hoping, needing, your calls
Wondering when you'll come down the road

Again

Do you feel the pull?
Has it begun to burn within you?
Soon it will start
The howling and the wailing
That uncontrollable urge
Needing to be together
To be bound in flesh
As well as in spirit
You will beg
Crawl on bended knee
Until you bow before me
And the world begins again

Sunday, November 4, 2018

Now

You know the answer as do I
A brazen breath, a settled sigh
The wind is right, the time is now
When curtain falls, we take our bow
If the world is ending here
We two have nothing to fear
We plan the future, continue on
Perfecting together the same old song

Creed

Speak softly slowly love
I want to drink in your words
Make out of them my Creed
Follow you below and above
As if we two are bound by cord
Superseded by no other need

When you are cut I bleed
Your hurts are mine
This idea is more than a seed
Planted by the Divine
In you I place all my trust
Our fates are one in the same
Together and apart as needs must
Sharing life and name

It's always you I'm running towards
Our love is joined forever
Not to be parted by any sword
This love cannot be severed

Speak softly slowly love
Our love is joined forever

The Last Waltz

Dance with me one more measure
Let us treasure
Being together
Even this brief time
Feels more than sublime

Now sit a while and rest
Leave to me the quests
This isn't your test
Time will carry on
We will long be gone

But for now let us be
Enjoy the sun and sea
Only you and me
Away from the rest
In our cozy nest

Thoughts

What I'd like to do, though strictly forebode
Is to run off now to the summer abode
Where time and weather fall to still
Instructions become, "Do an thy will"

Ovillejo

The world we try to fool
We're tools
We show the world our soul
Not whole
Lying, broken and hurt
Blood spurts
We tie our hearts with string
Hope it will do something
We're tools to play the fool
Not whole in heart or soul
Blood spurts showing many hurts

Unique

Beauty is truth
So don't lie about it
Music is joyful
So don't make it mourn
Our bodies are holy
So don't defame them
Thoughts are precious
So don't scare them away
Words belong to everyone
So don't try to claim them
Take only what belongs to you
Allow others their own uniqueness

Perhaps

There is no flower
There is no bee
That is as
Guarded as is he
He straddles two worlds
Never living in either
Both in his hands
Juggling them at leisure
He dances on pin points
He walks the thin line
Never balancing proper
Claiming he's fine
One day it will come
His worlds will collapse
He may survive it
Depending, perhaps
On me

Fall

We all inevitably fall.
What matters is how high we crawl,
The time we take to do it in.
Can we, mankind, pay off our sin?
Or are we bound to fall for years?
Pull up by your bootstraps my dears,
Chin up off your knees, feel cheer!
There is more than one way to win.
Perhaps we just prepare to fall.

Darkness

I walk through this dark and lonely world
      My hope is bent and broken
I sit with my spirit all unfurled
      There is so much left unsaid
This is a calm that comes of this
      Waiting here in the dark
It almost seems to bring me bliss
      So cold, so deep, so stark.

Wait Too Long

Blowing in my ear
Under a cloudless sky
Till the day breaks
 I sit with you, just us
Together worlds away from everyone else
Idyllically
Lounging on the white sand
Lingering by the blue green seas
Believing this can last forever
Eternal, Blissful, peace
Soon-to-be achieved and quick to be forgotten
Or may be carved in stone...
Only if we two vow never to wait too long

We Are

When the pain gets too much
Remember...We breathe together

When life gets too hard
Remember... We stay together

When the trouble is too scary
Remember... We are unafraid together

When we need to be apart
Remember... We are better together

When it all fades away
Remember... We light each other's way

When the world falls down around us
Remember... When we fall, together we rise.
 

Dashing (Rondine)

Run your finger along my arm
While on the loveseat we waited
Our love could not be abated
Wanting to raise no alarm
We lowered our level of charm
Keeping others from harm
But our loving fire was unsated
As Moon begin to cry

Tapping your finger in alarm
Into the back room we faded
The nearest room we raided
Almost arriving belated
It seem more than just fated
As we began to slowly warm
Away from the raging storm
As the moon began to cry

Untitled

Lie back and think of me love
I couldn't bare it any other way
That other place is gone now
It vanished far away
The world is turning on its head
The sky is faded black
My world exists because of you
That's an established fact

Grammar

Filled with foreboding,
I sit dreading, contemplating,
While my body betrays me,
Spilling the truth to the ground
It's only a change of seasons
But this little bit of spice
Could spell mess for my life
Pressing me further back
Adding time to my sentence
And as you can see from my grammar,
I need my words to be short and brief

4/4

The sweet notes roll across the breeze
They twine around the subtle lyrics
Words that open your eyes to the world
As the music travels on down the lane

It touches someone's heart and mind
They remember the long ago forgotten
Memories open up with music's hand
As the music travels on down the lane

Music seeps into your deepest soul
It helps you fix the broken parts
Music bridges distances between souls
As music travels on down the Lane

Colors

Blue is the color of his eyes
The color of the sky
Clouding over with rain

Green is the color of my heart
Envious of others
Sharing in his love

Gold is the color of our duty
Bound forevermore
Circles of gold

Untitled

As roses grow in summer air
Birds chase across a cloudless sky
The smells, the sounds are sweet and fair
Time moving at it's own slow pace

Sitting under an oak with a sigh
Hands full of yarn and tattered lace
While gardens full of wonder I spy
Taking it all in with a steady heart

The world picks up its weary pace
As I see the sunset colors start
I turn my body but stay my face
Allowing the sun to lighten on my hair

Time has come from this haven to part
To leave and go where I dare
I wish had wisdom to impart
I wish I understood why

Plea

By blessed light of virgin Moon
Bring my love before me soon
If he should be light of hair
Bring him not in summer air
If he has hair that's dark and dusty
Bring him when the flowers are lusty
If he has eyes that flirt so blue
Bring him when the flirting's through
If he has eyes of green or brown
Bring him when he's settled down
If he is tall and lean
Bring him bright and eager and keen
If he's short or mean or stout
Well, you can just leave those ones out!
But no matter how deep the glowing gloom
Bring my love before me soon!

Il mi uomo dagli occhi selvaggi (My wild eyed man)

Il mio uomo dagli occhi selvaggi
Lui vede attraverso la mia anima
Respira il mio respiro
Lui mi riunisce a sé stesso
Fino a quando non siamo uno
Giù alla nostra molto essenza

(My wild eyed man
Who sees though my soul
Breathing my breath
Gathers me into himself
Until we are one
Down to our very essence)

Missing

When the infinitesimal motes of dust that make up my being
Dissolve into the matter that makes up the universe
Will saline flow from your eyes in solidarity
For the time lost to us?
I know the scattered motes will mourn their disconnection
Perhaps the lamentation you speak of Will vibrate at such a frequency
That they will draw the discorporate motes together
And that will be much better 
Time spent mourning what could have been

Intent

I'm not sure anymore what color your eyes are
Or if they light your face they way they used to
Or If the spark is still there
But I do know how you melt when we speak
How the world is better with you in it
How time moves slower when you're away
If this works out it won't matter anyway
We two will rule the world
Because our world will be each other

Luminescence

Deny me not your tender embrace
It brightens the darkest of nights
Warm me with the light of your face
That shine that makes everything right
Your gentle touch brings me to tears
Knowing it will soon be missed
I wish you could allay my fears
Gone with only one kiss

Saturday, July 21, 2018

It's not the rise to the heavens that kills you,
It's the fall from grace...
I find myself repeating my patterns
A turn of the head or a smile
Knowing you no longer notice
It's killing me mile by mile

It's not the rise to the heavens that kills you,
It's the fall from grace...
The world is hard and cruel place
With fame fleeting and flying
By the time you realize it's there
Your career is rapidly dying

It's not the rise to the heavens that kills you,
It's the fall from grace...
This all may seem quite depressing
Words filled with doom and gloom
But where dead bodies are buried
Many flowers generally bloom

Connections

His eyes long,
Awaiting Only her
         Until they                 Pass in the hall
Nightly, stopping for Eternity 
Time standing still for Love       
Ignoring the world, forgetting all Else           
Never looking           out of each other's Souls    
Glowing             for all the world to See

70's/80's Cento Mix

And when my mind is free
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
(Won't you take me away?)
Where the rain is falling on stony ground
And I start wondering why I'm even around
Can't find the sunshine anywhere
Cause there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Just know you’re not alone
'Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
You can call on me brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on,
I just must have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody (need somebody) to lean on
Call me (when you need a friend)
Call me (anytime) Just Call Me

Untitled #500

All the world in a summers day
With flowers hastily strewn
Time and daylight appear to play
Hearts seem to feint and swoon
Birds sing a happy tune
Serenading a midday moon
Man and Maid and merriment
As the world resume its proper spin
Love not bought but only lent
A new game now to begin

The Vessel (Interlocking Rubiayat)

The Vessel in her maiden quest
With sparkle, doth she fair her best
Showing teeth, she takes her place
Turns from Sun to face the west

Presenting the world her Ruby face
Covering shame with canvas and lace
The world accepts the easy lie
Granting all a state of grace

The land and sea rush swiftly by
There's so much more she's yet to try
Time moves quickly apace
It seems to flit and fly

Now at the dock she longs to embrace
At a slow and steady pace
No one will think her less
For only bearing a brief small taste

Exeunt

Sitting under a small cloud
Waiting overhead
The stage direction threatens

Exeunt...

Classroom days are over
The sun is burning bright
Summer plans now beckon

Exeunt...

He's not quite the one you thought
She left in dark of night
They've stopped their daily texting

Exeunt...

You know that they've been sick
But you simply haven't called
Afraid of checking in

Exeunt...

Lay Down Your Head(Rondine)

Close your eyes, lay down your head
Still your soul and slow the heart beating, throbbing inside your chest Lounging across my inviting bed
I give you leave to completely spread
Your essence, body, burden, and godhead,
Here, now, when will you be able to rest?
What dreams will come?

____________________________________

Lay down your weary head,
The future shows what's coming is best
Will I be made to follow like the rest?
But if you place your arms in mine, we'll place our heads together,
For in such sleep, what dreams do come

Shades (Terza Rima Sonnet)

There are Shades twixt blue and green Whose light is barely shown
Many ponder what it means

It beckons me in with a deep dark moan.
Begging me to stay
The idea chills me to the very bone

I reflect on my thoughts and start to pray
Looking beyond these eyes
Watching as sunlight changes green to grey

From now on there will be no cloudy skies
With the magic shade to guide me
I lift my heart and soul so I can fly

All this because of green-blue eyes

Even if they sometimes lie...

We Are Never Alone in Love

Per stanotte, siamo soli.
Domani, ci riuniremo al mondo.
Le due parti maggiori si uniscono
Per diventare un insieme più forte.
Nessuno lascerebbe questa unione.
Solo dalla vera luce di Dio
Possiamo vedere l'unità dei cuori
Il completamento dell'anima
____________________________________

For tonight, we are alone.
Tomorrow, we will rejoin the world.
The two greater parts, they merge
To become a stronger whole.
No one would leave this union.
Only by the true light of God
Can we see the merger of hearts
The completion of the soul

MY Favors (Teranelle)

Love me, my favors to keep
My heart is yours without debate
Love me, my favors to keep
____________________________________

Never give cause to argue or hate
Patiently, forward we go
My heart is yours without debate
____________________________________

Maintaining the ebb and flow
A brief pause to sort it all out
Patiently forward we go
Remaining to each other devout
Taking enough time to breathe
A patient pause to sort it all out
____________________________________

Passion, bubbling up from beneath
Love me, my favors to keep
With enough time to breathe,
You will love me, and my favors you will keep

Little Bird (Kryielle Sonnetto)

Little bird, are you there?
I miss your voice so far
If you hear me darling, answer me
I am far from home, come back to me!

I thought I could handle this alone
But the light I have been shown
Can you hear my desperate plea
I'm far from home, come back to me!

Little Bird, Are you there?
I'm far from home, come back to me!

(When you touch me the wrong way it feels right)
(You know me better then anyone else does)
Our shared heart and soul is the cause
I don't want you to leave my sight

Without you I live in endless night
I take a deep breath and pause
(When you touch me the wrong way it feels right)
(You know me better then anyone else does)

(We two have know the greatest delights)
(It feels as if it always was)
I know from where that feeling draws
Angels brought you from highest heights
To give love to all our days and nights

Gold

Gold is boundless in your eyes
As over endless sunsets we fly
Caged no longer to this life

Stars begin to twinkle and glow
Showing us how far we've yet to go
Being heartache, beyond strife
Gold is boundless in your eyes
As over endless sunsets we fly

The world circles back and time starts again
We cannot imagine what we've yet to ken
Caged no longer to this life
Being heartache, beyond strife
Gold is boundless in your eyes
As over endless sunsets we fly

I wish the world were just us two
Huddled together in our own atmosphere
I wish the world were just us two
No place to go and nothing to do
But wishing doesn't bring you here
Neither does an ocean of tears
I wish the world was just us two

Déterminé

Entrez mon coeur
Entrez dans ma tête
Remplis-moi de ton amour
Je ne résistera pas
Le fil qui nous lie
Ne se démêlera pas
Jusqu'à ce que le soleil brûle bleu

Enter my heart
Enter my head
Fill me with your love
I will not resist
The thread that binds us
Will not unravel
Until the sun burns blue

Pause

In the shallow light of day
When twilight meets the gloam
When darkened shadows come to play
Making sinking spirits roam

Let's raise a cup of unshed tears
To those we used to call friend
To broken dreams and unspoken fears
To bridges that will never mend

Allow our minds to silent grow
Let burdens be at peace
The world can have it's troubled woes
Or let all thoughts quiesce

As the sun sinks into the land
With heartbeats sounding bold
Together we pause glass in hand
And watch the future unfold

Transmutation

Savored sensations
Sliding slowly, sensuously,
Succeeding in assaulting my body 
Driving me increasingly mad,
Making my memories meander,
Musty, misty memories
Caught in time's bitter embrace
Embarrassing how this happens
Each time, every time
Even when I know you intend to stay
Joy turns to pain,
It's transmutated
Chemical, physical and beyond
And those savored, sensuous, slippery, sensations
Are now only memories
Made and forgotten

Thursday, March 29, 2018

Evening

As we sit,
Sharing drinks by the fire
I feel air
From your lungs
Wrap around the base
Of my tongue
It tastes bitter and sweet,
Hot and sour all at once
I plunge into the depths of your soul
I'm drowning
You rescue me from dying in your eyes
Only to die later
In your arms

Sunday, March 11, 2018

Imperative

I would...

Write a thousand songs
Walk a thousand miles
Die a thousand deaths

Anything...

Just to be with you
Just to see the light in your eyes
Just until the morning

I am...

Waiting, wanting, weary of the world
Desperate, despairing, denied of your love
Cautious, careful, considering my next move

I would.

I will.

I am.

Passion

Passion
Playing, laughing,
And coming to hear,
Sounds in the darkness,
Sweet to my ear.
Intimate portraits
Of friends oh so near.
Never ending love.

My Love

My Love

You're sweet my love
                    You never shall sour
You're innocent my love,
                     You've never known.
You're new my love,
                     A blossoming flower.
You deserve my love,
                      A place to call home.

Better Days

I can't think of more to say
I've said it all
And then the feeling comes
Rushing back into my heart
I remember that you've left it behind
Alone with my body and soul
This distant between us
It could be bridged by love
But is it too far to be bound
Even by blue and gold?
The words you say
Aren't comforting in the least
As I lay my head on my pillow
Close my eyes
And dream of better days

Sunday, March 4, 2018

Stubborn

We are often told
To take the better path
To be the bigger person
I'm afraid I've spent too long
Begging at your feet
I no longer know how to stand
Upright on my own
And no one would want
This frail, human body
Complete with foibles and flaws
No upgrades included
I'm ready for a trade-in myself
If one becomes available
No one likes a project
When they can buy brand new
Ready for the junk pile
Just too stubborn to relocate

In need of Repair...

Tossed and torn on the wayside there
Broken and bleeding heart barely beating
Waiting while wishing someone would care
____________________________________

The air grows heavy and fills with despair
Time ticks apace to show that it's fleeting
While waiting wishing someone would care
____________________________________

Tossed and torn on the wayside there
A meant-to-be becomes a missed meeting
If you had come, would I have been ware?
____________________________________

While waiting wishing someone would care
Plainly, passively, passionately, entreating,
Tossed and torn on the wayside there
____________________________________

Will this again be too much to bear?
To give up now would be cheating
Tossed and torn on the wayside there
While waiting wishing someone would care

Time

The Sun begins it's daily stoll
As all over clocks do chime
Call to worship, to join, condole
Marking hour and time

____________________________________

All over clocks do chime
Enough to make a long day whole
Marking the hours and time
And leaving a heavy toll
____________________________________

Enough to make a long day whole
Dealing with crime and grime
Leaving behind a heavy toll
Go home and clean off the slime
____________________________________

Dealing with crime and grime
While passing by worshippers, offering to condole
Go home and remove the slime
As the Sun retreats into its hole

Forgiven

I'm not sure how much longer we two can wander
Two hearts, two souls bound halfway the world around
Not yet able or ready to be, if only we could foresee
The bumps in the pathway, the call at the end of the day
Balanced by goodness, purity and light, Knowing in our hearts what's wrong and what's right
These thing we sustain have grown weak, causing pain
Two things can be done to heal two hearts already won
The answers are easy, already written,
Drawn together, spoken, forgiven

Duty

Duty is not the dull word it seems in your mouth
It is a joyful thing, full of patient love and caring
Knowing what is right and making sure that the goal is achieved
Taking care of those who cannot take of themselves
Loving without thought of reward or reciprocation
Thinking of others above yourself
We share a duty to each other
Let us make a joyful duty

Many Sides

You are the best part of me, my finest side by far
I give you all that's left within me
Bound to your heart, I give mine willingly
No room for handwringing, no cause to chide
So gather around and sit a bit, abide
While I find the church, a priest, a key
For you are the better part of me
____________________________________

You are my finest side by far, for you show me the best of me
It blazes like a bright white star
A light so bright and carefree
It makes me floats on wings so feathery
And although it illuminates my many scars
You are my finest side by far

No Baggage

Follow me to the ends of this earth
I guarantee you, things couldn't get worse
This whole world is filled with terror and pain
But my only thought is to see you again
Together we'll open people's eyes with mirth
We'll fill our home with love and birth
And as children and laughter spill down the lane
No longer will the world deign on our little reign

Tuesday, February 20, 2018

Pawn

I have been your pawn
Your willing slave
Have I done your bidding well enough?
Followed your rules?
Toed the line?
Still you say it's not enough
You have emptied me
Taken the best
Left me nothing
But a broken shell
Perhaps someone else
Will come across me
And fill me
And make me
Whole again

I will never be your better-half
Can't you see it now
The two of us trying to reason
Why wherefore and how
And when was the last time we even laughed
____________________________________
No matter what the season
We seem to beat the odds
Constantly fighting each other
Mistaking ourselves for god's
Losing our cohesion
____________________________________
What once bound us strong
Is now tearing us asunder
What is this important key
Is there a desk it's hid under?
Would trying to find it be wrong
____________________________________
Stars say together we together should be
But reality rips them to shreds
Perhaps our love was just a gaff
For if we cannot get long in our heads, How can our hearts be destined to be? ____________________________________

Roses

Smell of roses drift through the air
I remember the ones you sent before
There won't be any this year
As sad music plays in my ear
It's hard to know that you've gone
That were miles apart tonight
Sitting alone in my car
Feeling lonely, distant, ajar
The words were too hard to say
We needed to work on us
Commitment was asking too much
In step but out of touch

For Good

When you're not here my world despairs
Although you're in my head
Time moves quickly
Then slows again
Without you everything spins
____________________________________

The times when you're here we move in sync
But away you're out of step
We fall together
Then fall apart
It's hard to begin again
____________________________________

This world is hard when we're alone
And harder day by day
You come home
Then leave again
One day you'll be home for good
____________________________________

Charm To Rejoin & Tear Asunder

Bring together what was stretched too far
     Whether by train or plane or car
Give strength and knowledge to get the job done
     The first step is over but the game's just begun
____________________________________

Send knowledge of future, of justice, outcome
     To the one who left tasks empty and undone
Will power is needed and a strong steady friend
      To help them acknowledge that this is the end
____________________________________

Two parties, opposite in goals and in means
     Their lifestyle seems idyllic almost sanguine
It's only a façade, behind a closed door
     Any time together feels like a bore
____________________________________

First, bring to her what she sees in herself
     Power and glory, wisdom and wealth 

Follow the song of the muse that she hears
     No longer chased by that what she fears

____________________________________

Then for him, growing patiently older,
       His request is the one that is the bolder
He must go to the point where they meet
     Follow his heart to the echoing beat

Questions

What's left without surprise?
With nothing new to learn?
Only more compromise?
Will our hearts beginning yearning
For freedom we aren't really pleading.
____________________________________

Will our hearts still burn?
Or slowly start to bleed?
As wheels start to turn,
Where is this situation leading,
Hearts broken or mended?
____________________________________

Will we be be foe or friend?
Is this beginning or end?

Lazy

Simply laying there
Hands running through my hair
Legs entangled
A nice pressure
The sun bestowing it's golden glow
Warm and cosy
The smell of leather and clean sheets
An unmade bed
Nowhere to go or be
Only here
With you and me

Love at First Sigh

Tell me about yourself, babe
Why you hold your chin in your hand Your eyes change at night to dancy
The flights that touch and tingle your fancy
Your heart which melted me at first
A soul so full it made mine burst
____________________________________
First, my love, tell me of you
The way the world needs your laugh
A steady voice coming through the throng
The ability to project your feelings so strong
You're mind blends and balances well with my own
The Temple of your body deserves worship unknown
____________________________________
Let us tell the world of the two of us,
The mission to share your laugh Speaking calmly while eyes are dancing
Many ideas and feelings advancing
We follow the heart despite the mind
While we rebuild my temple, together your soul we'll find

To My Dark Love

Your hair is thick with chestnut curls
Your eyes with amber waves
I feel my life begin to whirl
I must be strong and brave
Adrift on unquiet endless seas
My mind begins to haze
The world is filled with a humming breeze
As time comes into phase
In your gaze, my eyes are caught
I fall and fall with grace
This lesson we all must need be taught
We will all find our place
Together the world seems all right
Falling in love in the dark of night

Sedeor

I want to go
Follow the way
Tempted to stray
Go with the flow
But here I sit
____________________________________

Today's not the day
I would know
And be ready to go
Not ready to quit
So still I sit

 ____________________________________

I've hit a new low
It's time to flit
I really must split
I no longer glow
But still I sit

Nomenclature

This thing called love turns us inside out
Flips worlds upside down
Holds us bound
While we scream and shout
And play the game out
Can be lost and found
This thing called love
____________________________________
This thing called love makes us doubt
No matter how devout
But we all come around
Come home safe and sound
With our hearts more stout
This thing called love
____________________________________

Follows

She walks in his footsteps in silence
No shadow does she cast
Her eyes hidden, gazing low
Her mind only on the next step
World weary and full of woe
Careful not to stray
Living only to serve him
Not broken but bent and bleeding
Random hurts from others they pass
Intended not to injure
They tear her down
Harming her beloved grieves her
Brings her so low
She falters as she walks
But still she follows

Spinning

Time moves so fast
The world goes past
It seems so vast
Still our love last
The World spins round
____________________________________

Our old friends fade
New ones are made
The same games played
None would I trade
The World spins round
____________________________________

Love has no flaws
Follows no laws
It gives us pause
As we grasp at straws
The World spins round ____________________________________

Counting

Mi Mancho
Caramente
Quotidianamente
piú di quanto le parole possano dire

____________________________________

Jeg savner des
Kjært
Daglig
Net ennord kan si

____________________________________

Ich vermiss Dich
Inniglich
Tagtäglich
Mehr als Worte sagen können

____________________________________

Te extraño
Extremadamente
Cotidiano
Másde lo air was palabras pueden decir

____________________________________

I miss you...
Dearly
Daily
More than words can say
____________________________________

Alone

Waiting between pains
Waiting between breaths
Wishing I was between your arms instead
The heat and cold alternate in waves
Tears fill my eyes
Sweat glistens on my brow
Tied in knots
Tongue-tied
So many ways to be tied
Trying to distract myself
Watching the horizon
If the sun comes
Then I have survived
One more night
One more day
Alone

Ditto

"I want to follow where you go"
Trail you through the dawn
All I can do is wait and trust
Even when I fall, I will rise
Perhaps this time, I will listen
The words are whispered and I intend to hear
No offer too obscure, This will leave my heart undeterred
A simple phrase repeating, "My soul is full"
Now it seems noises, hearts, dreams, and even time has stilled...
"Ditto"

Sign

I saw your reflection in the stars
It reached to me across the world
Traversing time and space
To fill the chasmous void

Your voice followed behind
Trailing like a comet's tail
Bringing home your words
A message without fail

The thunderclap fills my soul
Rumbling and rattling my mind
Containing all of your love
This is a heaven sent sign

Earthly Delights

The light of your eyes shines bright
When you spy me across the way
You make me feel so right
The way you coruscate
____________________________________

You take me to the highest height
With every word you say
This love I cannot fight
I'd follow you any where
____________________________________

When with you my soul's alight
I feel simply fay
I know that it will be alright
Under the hand of fate
____________________________________

Together there's nothing we cannot fight
We will always rule the day
Sharing in all earthly delights
You will always be there

Star Prince

Return to me my prince of stars
And clouds will clear the sky
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

Without you here, it seems bizarre
I won't you just give it a try
Return to me, my prince of stars
____________________________________

I can see your face from afar
You never could hide a lie
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

A message shows your avatar
Instead of a call now, so why?
Return to me, my prince of stars
____________________________________

You've tried your best our love to mar
But what we feel can never die
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

Now you return from so far
The loose ends begin to tie
Return to me, my prince of stars
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

One

Patches of skin
Tracing the patterns of old scars
A slow sinuous sharing of souls
Time seems to stop
As we lie together
My hands in your hair
Your hands everywhere
Dying
Languidly
As one

Monday, January 8, 2018

Needs..

I only want to be lying...
Lying on a beach
Lying on my side
Lying with you

I simply want to hold...
Hold hands during the toughest storms
Hold on for one more day
Hold you tight and never let go

I always will be...
Always be yours
Always be there
Always and forever, my love

Dawn

Cresting on the horizon
The beautiful orange, red and gold
The world breaks into view
Light imbues all it touches
Waking the world, making it feel bold

Brighter now and harsher
The light remove the dark dank spaces
There is no place to hide
The wide and luminous blaze
Has cleared the shadows from faces

Untitled 1252

My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon
Together there's nothing we cannot do
My world begins and ends with you
To you I cannot be untrue
For you my heart was hewn
My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon

Untitled #975

Slowly, I feel the fire burn down
In its heart, as small embers rattle round
Waiting for its proper time
The air, the wind, the fire
Searching through ash without tire
Who cares about a little grime

Suddenly a catch, a spark
A flame that is no longer dark
Flashing across now burning ground
Trapped by logs of timber steady
Placed there easily, conspicuous, and ready
The love encircled the flames all around
