Vision

When the world is too dizzy
Looking out at the view
I close my eyes and envision
The aura of you
You glow in warm colors
Bright greens and blues
Bathed in radiant silver
A most electric hue
The thought somehow frights me
Yet still I have to smile
Elation overtakes me
Enveloped by you

Deception

I once saw a future for us filled with hope
One seemingly blessed by a Pope
But one can not believe all that one sees
Or did my eyes once deceive me?

______

You stay out later and later each day
Keeping yourself far away from me
I try to avoid the fray
Are my eyes still deceiving me?

_____

This isn't my first rodeo
I'm not a kitten stuck up a tree
It may be time for me to be free
'Cause my eyes are no longer deceiving me.

______

Intent

I'm not sure anymore what color your eyes are
Or if they light your face they way they used to
Or If the spark is still there
But I do know how you melt when we speak
How the world is better with you in it
How time moves slower when you're away
If this works out it won't matter anyway
We two will rule the world
Because our world will be each other

Connections

His eyes long,

Awaiting Only her

         Until they                 Pass in the hall

Nightly, stopping for Eternity 

Time standing still for Love       

Ignoring the world, forgetting all Else           

Never looking           out of each other's Souls    

Glowing             for all the world to See

Lay Down Your Head(Rondine)

Close your eyes, lay down your head
Still your soul and slow the heart beating, throbbing inside your chest Lounging across my inviting bed
I give you leave to completely spread
Your essence, body, burden, and godhead,
Here, now, when will you be able to rest?
What dreams will come?

____________________________________

Lay down your weary head,
The future shows what's coming is best
Will I be made to follow like the rest?
But if you place your arms in mine, we'll place our heads together,
For in such sleep, what dreams do come
____________________________________

Evening

As we sit,
Sharing drinks by the fire
I feel air
From your lungs
Wrap around the base
Of my tongue
It tastes bitter and sweet,
Hot and sour all at once
I plunge into the depths of your soul
I'm drowning
You rescue me from dying in your eyes
Only to die later
In your arms

Imperative

I would...

Write a thousand songs
Walk a thousand miles
Die a thousand deaths

Anything...

Just to be with you
Just to see the light in your eyes
Just until the morning

I am...

Waiting, wanting, weary of the world
Desperate, despairing, denied of your love
Cautious, careful, considering my next move

I would.

I will.

I am.

Lost and Found

Bright and brilliant blue
Shimmering, resplendent
Reaching into my soul
Curing my ills
Warming my heart
Filling me with your love
My whole body trembles
With the thought
You turn your eyes to me
And I am lost
Find me

The World

Through your eyes I see your world…

I watch the people passing by,
                       I see reflected lights.
I see them stop and stare.
                       I watch your mind achieve new heights.

Through your heart I know the world.

                       Your patience and eagarness marks your soul.
You are calm, showed me how to care.
                       Your love makes it easier to find my own.
If all the world were you, no one would fear how I fear losing you.

With Eyes, and Hearts, and Hands we go through this world together.

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.

A Vision in Blue

A rhapsody in cerulean
A prayer to sapphire skies
The perfect shade of everything
A universe in your eyes
The gravity drags me under
Beckoning pulls me in
Reading my darkest fears
Knowing my every sin
I couldn't escape if I wanted
Trapped in a vision in blue
Drowning in ultramarine
All caught up in you

Corona

A flash of Corona temporary blinds
The whole world lines those eyes
Uniting with ties, two souls entwined
Forever aligned and never to part
A fitting start to a blissful existence
No resistance is offered or needed
The love seeded needs no disguise
A fitting prize is the binding of minds

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

Phantom

The remains of one striking face
Haunting eyes in hollowed out cheeks
Following movements
Accusing at a glance
Only longing
For what once was
What could be
What never shall be
Again

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

Often

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.

A Midnight Wish

A Midnight Wish

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

Haunted eyes that burn so bright

Pray that good times never fade

I feel I am measured and weighed

Should my soul be heavy or light?

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

The sun is so bright there is no sign of shade

No color at all, only white

Pray that good times never fade

A seeming then, A home that’s made

A happy family, feeling so right

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

When the time comes to end the charade

Will it be easy to give up the fight?

Pray that good times never fade

So I’ll not be moved or swayed

To my true feelings I’ll hold tight

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

Pray that good times never fade

Vows

Vows

All anyone can ask

Is to give you all can,

To try not lie,

And to love with all your heart and soul.

To vow to be faithful

Is a large part of what is wrong with this world

We expect too much

Then are upset when it falls apart

Just don’t flaunt them in front of me.

Don’t get trapped.

Be careful.

I don’t want a fixer up model.

Anyone who goes into a relationship

Intending to change someone

Ends up

With disappointments and heartaches

The only person you can count on changing

Is you.

So go into love with your eyes open,

And never end up

With your heart in pieces on the floor.

INTJ

INTJ

Striding in measured steps

Cold cool calculating

The look in the eyes

That goes right through you

A sarcastic comment

Taken out of context

An offcolor joke

Taken to heart

Hard to reach that heart

Or even know it’s there

A side effect of life

A chemical reaction

We all have them

Just some choose not to flaunt them

Hiding in plain sight

If no one can see it

No one gets hurt

Protection always has a cost

Decision

Decision

So warm and comforting

Your hand on my cheek

Just a little thing

To show how you care

How you hold my hair back

While I worship the porcelain god

When you bring me weak tea

And dry toast

There’s still love in your eyes

How long before you resent me?

Before you regret

The choice you have made?

I love you enough

To tell you to go

But I’m selfish enough

To ask you to stay

It’s your

Decision
