Pause

In the shallow light of day
When twilight meets the gloam
When darkened shadows come to play
Making sinking spirits roam

Let's raise a cup of unshed tears
To those we used to call friend
To broken dreams and unspoken fears
To bridges that will never mend

Allow our minds to silent grow
Let burdens be at peace
The world can have it's troubled woes
Or let all thoughts quiesce

As the sun sinks into the land
With heartbeats sounding bold
Together we pause glass in hand
And watch the future unfold

Grace

Running Wilde

Heartbeats Calling

Something is telling me

To count now

Four, Five, Forty, Three

I’ve lost count

‘Tis a pity

How can I bare

To resist thee?

This visit must last

It can’t be a ruse

We must go into the light

Not into the darkness

Together

Is what counts

I feel as though

I am blessed

Amazed

With grace

The Dance

So long have I waited

Anticipation mounting

You reach across the chasmous void

Sparks fly as tension mounts

When breathing increases

Heartbeats accelerate

I don’t have to feel your touch

To know it’s there

The merest graze is enough

It is over but barely begun

The dance begins again

A tale as old as time

Between Heartbeats

Loving each other
In the space between heartbeats
Existing fully
In the small time we have
No other time
Matters when we
Can only share
The small space of time
That exists
Between heartbeats
