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

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

Thaw

Thaw

A noise that starts off slowly

Imperceptible in the background

Slowly

Building

A bit of a crack in the distance

Then suddenly a thunderous roar

The sounds of the thaw

Permeate

Invade

Time has come to move forward

Spread out from winter’s grip

Its hold gradually lessens

Then

With a snap

It is over

The silence is deafening

Inquiry

Inquiry

Would you know me by my rapier wit?

By my overwhelming personality?

Is it my physicality that draws you?

My hands running up the nape of your neck?

Do you love the way I love you?

The way I am drawn to you?

Could you tell me from others at a distance?

Is my smile the sun in your sky?

Or is it the fact that my heart

No longer beats in my chest

It is in your possession

Care for it well

Distance

Distance

Missing only begins to describes

The thought of being without you

As daylight creeps up my window

What’s missing from my view is you

And it burns more it each day

It’s getting more painful to say

How much I love you and in every way

The distance grows farther

And more silent every day

Without your smiling face

I wade into the daily fray

Certain that I’ve lost you

Determined to come for you

But missing you and loving you

Misericorde

Misericorde

The cord stretches tightly and binds us

Across the oceans and plains

No matter how far the distance finds us

The truth quite humbly remains

Like a song written just out of tempo

Echoing with a crazy beat

I carry your soul as a memento

Of times when loving was sweet

Sometimes I lay and reminisce

Of days when gentlemen called

Being courted and feted and kissed

It can’t be as good as recalled

So return, wayfaring stranger

Show compassion by staying your hand

Relieve me of my danger

I beg of you, answer my command
