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

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

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

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

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

Blank Page

Blank Page

The light of your smile

Of faded kisses

Brings memories of long ago days

When time had stopped for just one moment

And only we two lived

The air was heavy with potential

I breathed in time with you

Suddenly with a snap

All was gone

Left with a memory

Like a faded photograph

Slowly leaking ink

One day all it will be

Is a blank page

Hopeless

Leave me, I beg you

I can’t stand this pain

You are low hanging fruit

Just there, but not quite ready

Everyone’s but never mine

A light of love, a will-o-the-wisp

Never seriously anything at all

One day you will be

But it won’t be with me

I’m not worthy of attention

I lack more then I possess

So one day they’ll come to take me

Many loving fans, I guess

Not really, nobody cares

I’ve been told that often enough

And if you hear it often enough

You begin to believe it

Maybe I worship the ground that you walk on

Because the one I walk on is tainted

Black as sin and just as gritty

You walk on air and you know it

I falling through cracks in the pavements

Wrecked and hopeless am I

Muddy Footprints

If you walk beside me in the rain

Can I walk with you in the sun?

Our feet splash the sidewalk together

The mud covers our shoes

It would be cool if we touched

I’m content to share air and mud

The sun warns our entwined spaces

Just a little while longer

Then I’ll pass along

I’ll go the other way

You go right, I’ll go left

The sun will go away

Rain will come

Shadows will stay

All that will be left are

Muddy footprints

Possession

When temptation hangs heavy

Like a thick blanket of fog

The air is almost scented

A canopy of pheromones

I can taste your air

Feel my Soul transfixed

It is opened and receiving

Acquire me.

I am no longer in possession of my self

Am I in possession of you in return?
