Pledging

 Wouldst thou callst me thine

My heart thy pleadings yearns to hear

In moments fleeting ever divine

I wish thou closer, bide thou here

The moment nearer draws 

As two now one becoming

Breathing, living pause

To witness vows forthcoming

Alive

 Inhala, exhala,

Siente tu pulso empezar a escala,

Inhala, exhala,

Entre nuestras almas comienza como un jalar

Inhala, exhala,

Mi conexión al mundo parece rala,

Inhala, exhala,

Esto es lo que significa, vivir.

Inhale, Exhale,

Feel your pulse begin to race,

Inhale, Exhale,

Between our souls it starts a pull,

Inhale, Exhale,

My connection to the world seems sparse,

Inhale, Exhale,

This is what it means, to live.

Weaving

 Making patterns out of chaos

Divining the unseen

Tangled threads unweaving

Return from shuttle to skein

What once took shape and form

Is now just colors and thread

Old habits seem to be returning

I can't make it straight in my head

I tried to see the big picture

But now I have disarray

If this story just ends here

I'll treasure our few precious days

Time to start a new weaving

Try to tell a new tale

The same threads woven together

But changing the smallest details

Covet

 

Struggling against the ice and pain

Wishing you were here again

Your lips in ecstasy I am missing

Forever dreaming of forbidden kissing

Call on me I'd run so far

I would even traverse the stars

My love for you would tear the sky

With no thought or question why

Come for me and save my heart

Build my world a brand new start

Starlight, Starlight

 Starlight, Starlight

Starlight, Starlight made of dust

Grant to me, the one I lust

Brightest light up in the sky

Bring that same light to my eye

Falling star, lost from grace

Grant me one glimpse of that face

Burning in the black of night

Bring to me untold delight

Pedestals

 Pedestals

Pedestals are dangerous places
The view is cloyingly sweet
But when you build them yourself
They crumble beneath your feet

It’s hard to remember your place
When you don’t believe in the rules
It’s hard to value your allies
When you think them nothing but fools

Remember where you came from
Saints are rarely beloved
Telling truths is rarely honored
So keep calm and keep your head.

Presque Vu

Unknown memories 

Feeling things that haven't happened yet

Tingling, racing through my nerves,

Like a dance,

That feeling, without restraint,

A lambada, 

Forbidden, wild,

Rushing through my veins like a drug

Changing my body chemistry

I will never be the same again

You imprint yourself into my muscle memory

I remember you 

The same way I remember 

How to walk, 

How to laugh, 

How to cry,

You are a part of me now

Never again to be forgotten

As these memories rise to the surface

No longer unknown,

Merely...

Forgotten for now,

Just lost to time

Until they can be made again

For the first time

Rules

 He stands before me in second place 

Almost beyond compare

Except for the uncompromising beauty 

Of the one whose love I bear

Who knows whose time is coming

When or how or where

Soon the question will be answered

The solution to problems laid bare

Unfortunately the world isn't simply

Drawn in lines straight and square

Sometimes second comes first

Often the world isn't fair

Untitled #7819

 Untitled #7819 

Shared shoulder spaces with secret kisses between us

Counting the commonalities under the covers

Waiting while the rain wets the windows

Touching with teasing fingertips

Light as feathers

Soft as down

Deep down in the dark of the night

Forever feeling free to be with each other

Released from the wretched rift

Together eternally
