Untitled 617

Crystalline conversations with the stars
As winds chill my bones
Talking to the forgotten
Talking to myself
Only you would know or care
Who shares these whispered words
Secrets told to ghosts
Memory held in bond
A fire banked and ready
Feed the flame

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.

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

Love means...

Love means …

Knowing all your secrets

Reaching out and never doubting

That a hand will be there

That feeling in the pit of your stomach

Is only from nerves,

Never your love

Love is as steady as

The ground beneath my feet

The first flush of lust

Grows into a beautiful rose of romance

Constant as the North Star

A shelter in any storm

Our love will hold fast

Together we can conquer the world

Blank Canvas

I might be in over my head

This boulder is rolling down the cliffside

I only wanted to share my joy

But I might lose what I find most precious

The harsh light causes me to shut my eyes

But its warmth still causes me to smile

And reaching up, pull the shutters closed

I wonder if there is a way to have

Both the light and darkness

My indecision has cost me in the past

There are ghost that whisper my name

Hard drives can never be truly erased

Everyone has files that can’t be deleted

Sometimes it’s easier to just share space

If you don’t share all your secrets

What you don’t know can’t be held against you

I’m afraid I don’t know anything at all

I’m a student of the universe

Teach me, for I’m a blank canvas

Empty Promises, Broken Vow

Empty Promises, Broken Vow

You’ve barely kept your secrets now.

Words are tricky they tend to slip

The world in spinning beyond your grip

When the time is right, Life will change

You can’t stop it from feeling strange

Sonner or later your friends will know

You’ve done your best, but feelings show

One day soon you’ll break the wall

That barrier you’ve built so high,

Is yours to fall with just a sigh

Then run, speed as fast as you can

There is no doubt, you know the plan,

An escape there is, you know it’s true

Life is what you make of it

Make peace and quiet for a bit
