Together

I see the path before me lying
I admit I couldn't before
I want to be there for your sorrow
That's what partners are for
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

The pattern is so clear now
As wheels unwind and turn
Were you to light the match
I'd simply watch the world burn
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

When our secrets are discovered
And all the world seems lost
We will burn together
No matter how high the cost
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

But when the tide is changing
And all the lights are pale
Will you stand beside me,
To finish the drawn out tale?
Do you understand? Will you bear my burdens gladly?

New Endings

New Endings

The lover’s quarrel is amended

Think not that this tale is ended

For unless a parting follows

Love in heartache and bitterness wallows

If only goodness lit the day

We know not night to keep it at bay

And without the loss and touch of pain

We wouldn’t know what we have gained

Sad Eyes

Sad Eyes

The sad eyes sat in the corner so pale

Their soul, their sorrow showed

Remembering days of suns without fail

When they soared and feasted and savored

The knowledge showed in great detail

Falls from grace are meted

Hubris is a twice told tale

That often is repeated

Careful heroes never fail

But rarely are they feted

When inner demons rage and wail

Sad eyes will be entreated

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left

An Answer to New York by Snow Patrol

First, If you haven't heard the song "New York" by Snow Patrol, Go NOW!  First it's a great song.  Second I wrote this poem about what the girl the song is written to feel when the boyfriend is home.
Here is a link for the song.

Is it Ever Enough?

The time we have together is precious

Way too much to waste

But what can you do when you only have minutes

When time together could be snatched away in an instant

When you only get brief glances

The future of husband and wife

We want to tell each other,

Of our secrets and our sins

If but one second is wasted,

That pressure is multiplied

To a thousand hours yet to be.

The stars lose their place in the heavenly orb

Without the Solar wind to guide them, to get them home.

So the time has come to conclude the telling of this tale

It is the moment to start a new fiction.
