Worthless

I'm not sure when I realised
It's always the little things
Shared point of view
What would it be like
To be part of the crowd?
That's not an option
I've stayed in my space
Unsure of how the tide goes
But knowing where it's headed
We should be matched
But our lines don't intercept
Changing the path
Could bring tears
Saving my heart
Is it worthy, worthless?

Inside

Escape now with me
How did we miss it?
Kiss it and make it better
Wake me when sun breaks
None has the devotion of you
Emotion comes to you naturally
Few could find peace in this heart
At least we knew in a moment
True it was plain to see
In vain we tried to avoid
Crying out in sorrow alone
Borrow no more of our troubles
Towering over all that they see
Lay with me and just be

Thrall

Holding breath while holding hands
A fire burning blue.
All the wonders of the world
And none of them are you.

Imprisoning love between golden bands
Life is cold and blue
Love is impatient and unkind
When held in thrall by you

Found Poems: Stopping Place

Wait...
Till it's hopeless
Till the light fades
Till the words stop

Not even..
When I beg
When I crawl
When I stop

Then...
All fails
Nothing matters
Everything stops

Continuation

Fly home to me
A call is too far
For love and sharing

Come here quick
The light will guide you
With grace and bearing

We can handle it all
The looks and stares
Our love we're declaring

Caught

Already

Up and down, we turn around
The twisted dance we're in
Am I good or are you bad?
Who knows where we fit in?
More than time is growing old
And filled with weary sighs
I rest my heavy head and hope
That life is more than lies
Calling you in dead of night
Through time and space and pain
Open ears need open hearts
Sending messages in vain
I hope that you might hear my plea
And ask not "where's" or "why's"
Just come and lay down next to me
No need of formal ties

Peace

Twas in this bleak and barren land
A single light did shine
Revealing there for all the world
The hope that would be mine
A loving, caring patient man
With soul of burnish gold
He knew the measure of a heart
Kept secrets he'd been told
More faded then a lullaby
His race is more than run
I hold him as he turns to cry
I must be the stronger one
Peace is found in withered arms
And calm in shades of blue
Eyes exchanging pregnant looks
No need to chase, pursue
Sitting there by roaring fire
The storm outside extreme
Only a slow and throbbing ache
Proves life is not a dream

The Winning Bluff

The winning bluff is very hard
Knowing they hold all the cards
To lose would be utter disgrace
Failure and a loss of face
So we remain on total guard

Faces of ivory carved
While pleasantries are being pared
Picking up the losing pace
The winning bluff

Avoiding all the wild cards
Holding the hand close to guard
Caught inside a hardened space
Losing to win the race
With the winning bluff

Surprise

As  I lay there, we breathe in
Time refusing to pass us by
We lose all sense of reason

The winds herald the coming season
Leaves settle with creeks and sighs
As I lay there, we breathe in

I lose all sense of calm and reason
Clench my teeth between the cries
As I lay there, we breathe in

My thoughts have lost all cohesion
This miracle has mystified
We lose all sense of reason

One more press that softly frees him
Delivered of this great surprise
As I lay there, gently breathing
We've finally have a sense of reason
