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

Now

You know the answer as do I
A brazen breath, a settled sigh
The wind is right, the time is now
When curtain falls, we take our bow
If the world is ending here
We two have nothing to fear
We plan the future, continue on
Perfecting together the same old song

Fear

Afraid is such a broad term
But currently how I feel
Afraid of what I'm feeling
Afraid it could be real
Terror down to my bones
Anticipation and dread
If this isn't terror or fear
I cringe at what's being said
This world is crashing down on me
Anxiety closing in
As the curtains fall dark and slack
I recounts all my sins
Fear is knowing you aren't best
Your best isn't good enough
No matter how you play the game
You play a bit too rough
No one will ever think on you
With stardust in their eyes
Or longing speak your name
With a heaving hearty sighs
The world is full of us
The normal everyday folk
The ones afraid of everything
Too scared to even joke
Our numbers they are legion
Out of cities we do rise
But no one ever hears us
For silent are our cries

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.

Single Blessed Strife

I love you no longer
My heart is stronger
Yours, will break
My love I will take
Away with no fear
Not one single tear
I'll shed o'er our love
No longer above
Mortal State
I can't wait
To fall all over,
To love you no more
I forget you
But never shall you
I forgive
You fell through a sieve
By lies and deception
I long for perfection
To live and love together
This time, forever
A diamond ring
My heart wants to sing
When it hears a bell,
That glad tidings tell
Of Sacrament Holy
One Love, souly
I need protection
I long for Perfection
If I cannot find
I'll be in a bind
And never let know
True love's flow
And I'll live a life
Of single blessed strife

#untitled poem

Closing in, almost a win

Tomorrow seems so far away

A long night, a bitter fight

Keeping creeping nightmares at bay

The sun appears and as the end nears

The fear is gone and dying

Time is telling, Joy is welling

There can be no denying

Our Song

Our Song

I think our song is ending love

When tragedies are mentioned think on us

There was a great run for a while

When times were bright and gay

We laughed on golden shores

The hours whiled away without remark

Just sitting hand in hand, heart in heart

But now we must head into the sunset

Our lives to live again

It’s not alone I fear

It’s “without you” I dread

Solution

One step ahead and two behind

Getting the pacing just right

If the world falls away could we walk hand in hand?

And finally step into the light?

Does it matter who is in the front now?

Does it matter who brings up the rear?

If one of us follows the other,

We will end up together, my dear.

My solution in the end is simple,

We stop this running around.

Find a spot that we can settle down now,

And we will have nothing to fear.

Allure

Look but never touch

See the unknowing

Things that are unavailable

Are the most desirable

Is it the unattainability

That makes them so desirable?

Are objects aware

Of their allure?

When thousands clamor

For one thing only?

If it were me,

I would quake in fear.

Ghostlight

Ghostlight

When the curtains close

And the lights all dim

There’s only me

Standing there without him

The lights all fade

To the darkest of blacks

So deep that it burns

Inner demons attack

Swarming and seething

Eating mind and spirit

An all consuming power

No wonder I fear it

That empty stage

That lights on old ghosts

Brings light to the darkness

To what we fear most

So don’t leave me here

In the dark and alone

Give me thunderous cheers

I’ll truly be home

The Words

So many ways to say

One simple little thing

Do we fear the words themselves?

Is it the intimacy?

Or do we not really mean it

When we use other phrases?

We’ve become so close,

Our world so small

But we’re miles apart in our heads,

In our hearts

When we can communicate so well

Translate a thousand tongues

Why is it so hard

To say three little words?

No matter the language

We must learn

We must try

Stable

Call me dangerous, call me unstable

I’m tired of being called unable

I’ve always been a little bit crazy

Is this some happy ending like in a fable?

But I’m no longer letting it phase me

So what if no one thinks I’m ready

Are you looking for other reasons?

They’re not calling the shots here

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to

I’ll die if I want to

I don’t have anything left to fear

It’s the end of the season

I’m holding steady

I’m rocking like a baby in a cradle

I’m starting to feel more stable

I don’t know why things were so hazy

You make me feel so able

After all crazy is just a label

There’s nothing left but to love me baby

Growth

Eyes hid in shadow
Invoking fear and longing
Glancing from side to side
Evading another's glance
Trapped and afraid,
It seems to be pitiful
Like a beautiful Lion
Trapped in a cage
Be wary of what you seek here
Sight is not always your friend
What once was a helpless puppy
Suddenly outgrow it's Den

Time Changes EVERYTHING, Laced with Fire,A Four Letter Word,The Curse The Definition of Love

Sweet 16

Virtue and Innocence

Astounds all but a few

Sweet sixteen and not yet kissed

To all experiences new

A Lover never known

To which most are amazed

A kiss sweeter then wine

Never used to fade

A child yet in knowledge

A woman in body true

Yet information is known

Having experienced love so true

Feelings of surrender

Growing with each passing year

Holding on but wanting not

Loss with pain and fear

One day a prince will come

To take all away

Mercy in his heart

And forever there TO STAY

Time Changes EVERYTHING

Oh to be older!

To Know ALL

And want not!

When Lovers can do as they please

And Adults have Power over such as I!

Oh to be Young!

To not Know the secrets of this cruel world,

To still desire life, love and passion!

Innocence astounds me and Treachery surrounds me!

Laced with Fire

Each night I lie and dream of one

Who kissed and awakened my desire

And for this day and each none forth

My nights are laced with fire.

The steady blue and orange glow

Changes to bright red and green

The fire is steadily burning

Alive within the dream

I hope that I shall never wake

Without you by my side

Come sweet love and answer me

Shall I be your bride?

A Four Letter Word

I know a four letter word that means a lot.

It’s taught me everything I know.

Its meaning can’t fill the largest pot.

It’s as if you reap as you sew.

It’s a part of you all your life.

But you hardly know it’s there.

Through all your sorrow and your strife

It teaches you to care.

It comes from the highest heaven

From far, far up above

If you haven’t guessed by now

That four letter word is love.

THE CURSE

Eternity stretches on

With no end in sight

Life without you

Is a terrible plight

I’d pay dearly

To have you die

More would I pay

If your savior was I

I’d live a life

Of sorrow and pain

If I could hold

You once again

But all hope is gone

I’ll never admit

I, not you, up and quit

And the CURSE

Lives on

The Definition of Love

Love is a complete lack of self

The ultimate sacrifice

In love there is no break up

No substitute would suffice

Love counts no hours

No days, No nights

Love is only all eternity

A million blessed sights.

A pain that will not ease,

Until a chapel beckons,

A proposal on the knees,

Yet still it does not lesson,

It never condescends.

An eternity is waiting

For love that never ends.
