Untitled #542

 The mere thought of you calms me,

Fills my body and soul with peace,
I reach through the emptiness and there you are.
Touching me with invisible hands,
Reading my feelings, my thoughts, my mind
We exchange energy,
Enjoying the warmth and heat we share.
The binds that tie us,
Cannot be broken,
Cannot be crushed or riven.
They stand in judgement of all around.
Showing love greater then imaginable.

Secrets

The secret voice
Whispering in my mind
Telling me softly
Joking, laughing
Never here, gone
Fleeting, away
No sight to betray
Kiss me invisibly
Touching not being
Once more into the fray
No one knows
Spying on life
Not of but above
You cannot be found

Darkest Dreaming

In the darkest corner of my mind
That's the place they stay
The ones that won't go away
Where they don't have to hide

I watch the parched desert
Encroached by now barren sea
Scorched down to aridity
And wonder if I can flee

In this bleak and desolate place
Electricity fills the air
Outside pressures compose the haze
That bring the end to many a chase
Reality has begun to tear
Seen through the spine of the sun's buring glare

Loss

If I have to change who I am
Am I still the person you love?
That loves you in return?
What rivers, valleys, mountains
Even worlds and galaxies,
I wouldn't cross to be with you.
__________
But to change my soul,
My heart,
My mind?
These are the things that make me. These make me WHO I am
_________
But you are a part of me too.
If you ask me to choose,
No matter what I do,
I lose.
________
Heartbroken already,
I cry,
As I contemplate,
My loss.

To My Dark Love

Your hair is thick with chestnut curls
Your eyes with amber waves
I feel my life begin to whirl
I must be strong and brave
Adrift on unquiet endless seas
My mind begins to haze
The world is filled with a humming breeze
As time comes into phase
In your gaze, my eyes are caught
I fall and fall with grace
This lesson we all must need be taught
We will all find our place
Together the world seems all right
Falling in love in the dark of night

Follows

She walks in his footsteps in silence
No shadow does she cast
Her eyes hidden, gazing low
Her mind only on the next step
World weary and full of woe
Careful not to stray
Living only to serve him
Not broken but bent and bleeding
Random hurts from others they pass
Intended not to injure
They tear her down
Harming her beloved grieves her
Brings her so low
She falters as she walks
But still she follows

Sign

I saw your reflection in the stars
It reached to me across the world
Traversing time and space
To fill the chasmous void

Your voice followed behind
Trailing like a comet's tail
Bringing home your words
A message without fail

The thunderclap fills my soul
Rumbling and rattling my mind
Containing all of your love
This is a heaven sent sign

You are my everything

My head has run out
Of rhymes, of time, of love
I no longer feel safe within myself
You feel my heart, my soul, my mind
My life is yours to do with as you wish
Blooms in May never smelled as sweet
as when smelled with with you
Birds sing sweeter when hear with you
Touch feels better when given by you
The sweetest dessert cannot compare to the taste of you eyes
You are my everything, my life, love my live, my passion
You are you
My all and everything

My muse has left me…

My muse has left me…

My muse has left me

It thought itself free

It wonders the world

Having forsaken me

Carried away

On a wish and a prayer

Looking for answers

Found god know where

Bound but still separate

In heart and in mind

My muse will return

With love in good time

42

Season and reason pass away

Like feathers dancing in the wind

All time should hold a steady pace

Not join a race into the sun

The breakneck speed, intense, bucolic

As hearts and minds collide undone

The passing tide is rising fast

And waves approach full with intent

Then with a blow havoc rent

No life has truly ended

Time will soon make three from two

Creating love from hearts unbent

Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?

Content

Flying high so close to the sun

The flames are burning higher

Enjoy your time of fun

The passion of a burning fire

Burns brightly and fervid in the mind

As long as pleasure never tires

Providing nourishment for the mind

Can counteract any ennui

Give partners time to unwind

No question about it, patience is key

We’ve heard it time and again

The love we share will keep us free

If this is not your ideal plan, call me friend

I’ll content myself with just that

I’ll rather be wanted then hated again

But once we were a lot of fun

We walked on tightrope wires

But as the years unwind

We’ve learned just to be

Even if our hearts will rend

I’ll content myself with that

My memory is going...

I can no longer remember both of the parts of Handel's Hallelujah chorus.  I originally learned it in tenor, then I switched a year later to soprano.  After the teacher actually listened to me.  I could hit the tenor notes mind you, but I could hit the soprano easier. LOL  I think I could qualified as a true tenor now, after my thyroid issues.  I was playing around with recording some stuff and I said I know, I'll record both parts of the Hallelujah chorus.  Only to find I can't remember them.  I just love my mind, not! This is not acceptable.  I wish there was something to do about it.  Unfortunately, there is no real problem, hence no solution.  I've had a headache since 1994, that's probably part of it.  Or at least one of the medications I'm on.  I used to remember everything.  And I do mean everything.  Exact conversations.  Now, I have trouble with names.  It sucks.  I'm fighting the best I can.  It makes you feel like you can't win when you're thirty three and you feel like you're fifty.  I understand that there are people that are worse then I am.  I just get frustrated sometimes.  Zebras get lonely sometimes.  It's hard to find someone who understands exactly what it feels like to have stripes. They stick out but at the same time you blend in the jungle. Camouflage isn't always a good thing.  It may stop the person who could help you the most from noticing you. 

Famished

Is there any polite way

To say goodbye?

To ask someone to leave

Not your heart but your head?

I’m quicksilver

Pretty to think about

But deadly poisonous

I wish my own reactions were as quick

I certainly recoil as fast

My compass will always

Point true north

Willing to lead me home

Sooner or later I must plant roots

We may share DNA with vegetables

And be fundamentally similar

But I see myself as more of a carnivore

And lately I feel

Simply famished

Meaningful wonders

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

So partner-less here I sit

And blinking clear my mind

I only wish I had some wit

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

Don’t worry about me, I will be fine

I only wish I could quit

Or at least get incredibly lit

Meaningful wonders in endless rhyme

Time is an expressionless pit

So partner-less here I sit

Isolation

There’s a place up on a mountain

Or a cabin by the sea

When the time comes to stop running

Come there to look for me

I might not be the best companion

By the time you come for me

By then we will both be grey

But at least we will be free

A focused mind amasses much skill

To doubt it would be unwise

Some say it is impossible

To be free from spying eyes

This is proper motivation

All one really needs to be

With constant love and devotion

One wholly becomes free

But that’s another story

For today we’re miles apart

Take a deep breath and remember

You’ve been written on my heart

True Love

Broken glass
Comes to mind
When your eyes
Meet me in mine
Your hurtful words
Sharp and deadly
Your woeful lie
Clear as glass
I'm picking up pieces
Better left behind
I'm waiting for you
True love is blind

Survival

Flowing through me

Speedily and without delay

Never ending torment

My mind sighs and weeps

Will this never end?

Breaking waves of stimulation

Crest over agony

Fallen in defeat

Beat only to ascend

Resurrected, Rejuvenated, Revived

Survival
