Alone in Plain Sight

 

Standing alone in plain sight
Keeping our intentions clear 
Shouldering on into the fight
Masking our peace and fear

Trying to keep intentions clear
We march forth into the fray
Suppressing our peace and our fear
We sit alone at the end of the day

We march forward into the fray
Never begining to doubt
Are we alone at the end of the day?
Time to make a whisper a shout

My love, don't ever doubt
We shoulder into the fight
Making our whisper into a shout
Standing alone in plain sight

Shared

A hand hovers over my side
The barest whisper of a touch
Stars come within view
Moving slowly
Serpentine strokes
Bring me higher
Tongue taunting, teasing
Tracing it's way home
Fingers follow
Breaking all bonds
The only thing left
Is you and I
And a steady strum
Of heartbeat
Shared

To the Father of My future Children…

To the Father of My future Children…

Since I know you don’t exist

Can I compliment your hair?

Can I say your eyes are beautiful?

Or that they sparkle in the sun?

I feel I know your laughter

The way it touches my soul

When the wind blows a certain way

It feels like your breath on my neck

And since it doesn’t matter

I’ll say I love your lips

The way they touch mine gently

Then whisper I love you

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?

Deadly

Deadly

Tell me of the howling of winds

That blow the bleakest black

Whisper of your darkest sins

God and I will hear of your slack

Whisper to me of cleverness

Of great deeds, of battles foretold

Don’t try to make it seem less

Clever or brave or bold

Remind me of your virility

Of women, of wine, of song

Don’t bother with humility

Tragic tales are often too long

Shout of your numerous possessions

Of which you only want more

These are private confessions

Not added to legend of lore

Adding substance to the world though

Would require much effort, a coup

Forgive the truly low blow

But that seems too much effort for you

The world must seem like an oyster

One that you wish to eat

You feel as though you’ve been cloistered

And lacking of anything sweet

Forgive my troubled verses

I see the ire in your eyes

Little effect have your curses

The truth will outweigh the lies.

Blank Canvas

I might be in over my head

This boulder is rolling down the cliffside

I only wanted to share my joy

But I might lose what I find most precious

The harsh light causes me to shut my eyes

But its warmth still causes me to smile

And reaching up, pull the shutters closed

I wonder if there is a way to have

Both the light and darkness

My indecision has cost me in the past

There are ghost that whisper my name

Hard drives can never be truly erased

Everyone has files that can’t be deleted

Sometimes it’s easier to just share space

If you don’t share all your secrets

What you don’t know can’t be held against you

I’m afraid I don’t know anything at all

I’m a student of the universe

Teach me, for I’m a blank canvas
