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

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.

Apart

Apart

I tried to fall in love today

And went to give my heart away

But I found a note that read

You stole my heart I’ve taken yours in stead

I thought about it long and hard

Who could be such a callow card?

To take my heart with nary a word?

Not even by a look inferred

Only one name came to mind

The tangled knot, it did unwind

I followed the path where it did lead

To retrieve my heart with utmost speed

But when I reached to bring it back

You grabbed my hand for a change of tack

We fell in to soulful bliss

As we slowly began to kiss

Now I know I have no heart

It has always been apart

With my love it will stay

Until the night becomes the day

Writer's Block

The creative process slows to a crawl

My pen is limp in my hand

And…

Now…

I...

Wait…

And now with each word I scrawl

My brain starts to expand

The words begin to flow

Expanding at a faster pace

I allow as that my rest is done

It’s broken its terrible brace

I have lifted the veil and seen

Solution

One step ahead and two behind

Getting the pacing just right

If the world falls away could we walk hand in hand?

And finally step into the light?

Does it matter who is in the front now?

Does it matter who brings up the rear?

If one of us follows the other,

We will end up together, my dear.

My solution in the end is simple,

We stop this running around.

Find a spot that we can settle down now,

And we will have nothing to fear.

Catch Me

Catch Me

If I stumble, if I fall

Who will be there to catch me?

My internal support is crumbling

No one can see the braces

How much I take?

Just to hold me up

I need another hand

Someone to lend support

Cause maybe I’ll still fall

But I won’t fall as far

Decision

Decision

So warm and comforting

Your hand on my cheek

Just a little thing

To show how you care

How you hold my hair back

While I worship the porcelain god

When you bring me weak tea

And dry toast

There’s still love in your eyes

How long before you resent me?

Before you regret

The choice you have made?

I love you enough

To tell you to go

But I’m selfish enough

To ask you to stay

It’s your

B. A. E.

Broken, bleeding, and bruised

I raise a battered hand

To have it brushed aside

Would you have me beg?

Is this betrayal?

Bittersweet and blue

My feelings were not to be borrowed

But you could not be bothered

Barging forward

Without a backward glance

We should break it off

Before Anyone Else

Simple Wanderer

All my tomorrows

Bleed into yesterdays

When the burden of proof

Lies in the beholder

Truth flies on the wings

On a snow white dove

When you can’t believe

What you your eyes tell you

Bring to me you fears

I’ll lend you my sorrows

Together we will be

The saddest of companions

But maybe together

We can conquer the world

I’ll lend you my hand

But I must see where to place it

Without a direction

I’m simply a wanderer

Groping in the dark

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.

A Hallow Void

A hallow void

Fills my middle

Blotting out the sunlight

No amount of brightness

Can counteract the cold

A tiny beat that can’t cry out

A hand that cannot reach

I take a breath, control myself

It doesn’t matter, I can’t remember

Emotions are leverage, Emotions are passion

A bargaining chip

Serving only to harm (the only thing that matters)

Get rid of them (Without them we cease to be)

Excess baggage

A Bargain Struck *(An adventure in Sonnets)

From whence doth come thy golden orbs

Which heaven hath no equal parts?

Some piece Diana did absorb

To sway thy stalwart warrior’s heart

Come Solider take this maiden’s hand

A voyage must be undertaken

For thee the Angel’s tears do turn to sand

All others must be forsaken

But what of carnal pleasures biding?

Tomorrow’s troubles sorrow and lament

The housewife screams and bellows chiding

He begs forgiveness, his heart full rent

A bargain struck, A contract made

A willing partner, An even trade
