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

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 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

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.

Le Petite

That stubborn curl wrapped 'round my fingers
As you place your head in my hands
The scent of your soap always lingers

The night is quiet and eerie
A soldier awaiting commands
I hear your heart beating clearly

The pace gains a beat, then a breath
I feel like I'm frequently falling
Caught between life and death

Stars burst forth in front of my eyes
Your name, I'm steadily calling
As from the dead, I rise

Acknowledge

I know who I am and
Wish I could be better for you
I wish you days of endless sun
I wonder if the night sky will
Ever shine as brightly
As days when we were one

One time I saw you smiling
There never a star that shone as bright
One time you cried forever
And bright days fell into endless night

You eyes seem to see inside me
Your soul with mine forever more
And now we can't seem to be together
I wish I could be once more

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?

Struggle

Struggle

She walks on haughty airs that give us pause

Flesh and bone run though us all

And base desire is a worthy cause

For pride goeth before the fall

The time has come to gather up flowers

And watch for stars are falling

Comets have come to grander towers

The results can be appalling

The ocean cannot meet the sky

Though forever they are striving

For one must surely fall and die

While the other is uprising

TOILM

TOILM

The crisp cold scent of morning,

As the steam rises from my mug.

My hands embracing

The one I love most.

No longer interested in coffee

My strength comes from somewhere new,

We rise and fall,

To the beat of our hearts,

Gently,

Then more rapidly,

Stars explode,

And a cup of coffee

Sits,

Cooling on a windowsill,

Forgotten

Reaching Toward The Stars

Time is short

Let’s seize what we can

Some people’s tomorrow never come

It’s enough to live now

Have what we may

When the starlight reaches us

It may already be gone

It lives on through our memories

Infinity and divinity

Touches our small souls

Brief glimpses on the immortal

We beg and borrow

Never knowing where it will be snatched

If you wait

Tomorrow’s dream may disappear

Bring them love

Let them grow

Hand reaching toward the stars

Forged in Spirit

Souls Touch in the fire

Forged in spirit

Trials bring us together

Will banality part us?

Normal everyday life

Shall be the death of everything

All we’ve worked towards

All we ever wanted

We’ve both striven for the stars

Craved the universe

What good is a picket fence?

If there is no one

Left standing beside it?

I found a Computer Permutation program and played with it a bit.  I had to add, A LOT, when it was done.  It didn't do well at all with non nouns involved, but after I figured that out, I was good.  Then I took then word soup it spit out and wrote the poem from there.  I hope to do better next time!

The Creation of the hills is but a small fairytale

Our Heartbeats bear witness

We Spy in a field the irresistible elephants

Stars pity us

The Word we bear is but a ruse

A Horse startles at something she cannot see

‘Tis a curiosity nothing more

The World favours Gold and White

While they are lovely

We only have imitations

The Ends justify the means

Whistle while we wreck the boat

Painted strings

What little time we have we spend visiting

Earth bears witness

How silent it lies down

The Wind Blows around the Island

It starts 

The Consummate Youth

Age cannot touch

Time cannot ravage

Holding steady against

The winds of eternity

They are simply a force.

One that which is stopped

By a wall of passion.

The love found in your eyes

Belies your years

You will always be

The consummate youth

A stalwart rock,

Salvation

Without whom

The stars cease to be

Look, Butterfly

Crystal visions of seeking

While the smoke hangs heavy in the air

Heads bob in the ether

Sour taste in my mouth

Can I taste it on yours?

Warm bodies press closer together

So nice, pressure

Wow, is that my hand?

It’s in yours

How did that happen?

Can we stay forever?

Moments are fleeting

Flittery little bugs that get away from us

If they would only hold still

Would you hold still?

Look a shooting star

Make a wish

Not, me I don’t have wishes

Wishes are for dreamers

Dreaming requires surrender

I don’t have enough ambition

To see me through those dark times

I can only rely on myself

Take what we have now

Don’t question it, just smile

And keeping watching the stars,

Look, another butterfly!

Stars Taunt Us

Dazzling Stars that shine too bright

How do we know that you really exist?

Could you be an illusion we invented?

A brief figment,

Brought forth to cause us sorrow?

For having seen such beauty,

Why should we breathe?

Or is it a tease?

This real life,

We can only feign touch?

Is this all

A hallucination,

Or dying brain trying,

To convince us, to hold on?

I think I like that least of all.
