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

Return

A patient pause gives way
Two hearts fluttering in time
As space between them builds
Their peace slowly dying
A beautifully staged play
But now the page turns
No longer bound as one
The world crashes and burns
All things are ending now
As everything eventually must
Time has come to concede
Return this relationship to dust

Space

You fit so neatly behind me
Like the missing piece of a puzzle
Cozy corners
We share a space never meant for two
Wrapped in a haze of blue and gold
As the world lays silent and waiting
The sun touches the horizon
I am alone
This space has grown
Now meant to hold two
I feel small
Waiting for you
To return

Possession

It's not that I have faltered I'm falling
Into a deep and endless abyss
I close my eyes to the darkness
Head in to the growing myst
Thoughts take form and shape
No longer and amorpheous blob
If I don't say the words yet
I'm trying not to sob
A silent hole is growing
Deep down in my chest
Let's leave the world alone
Forget about the rest
It will keep for now love
Waiting for space and time
No matter what else happens
You are mine

Space

Out of my head
Space is needed
Clearing room in the heart as well
An empty shell may be easy to break
But contains no fragile contents
The soul has been dispossessed

Sonnet #222

Sonnet  #222

Our time is fast at hand

We must approach with care

The time we have to share

When we’ll walk hand in hand

Along the golden sand

We’ll make a lovely pair

Of only life were fair

But things don’t go as planned

Restraint must rule the day

We find our center space

To wait and rule our souls

We keep our love at bay

Till in the proper place

Till then pain takes its toll

Decisions

Decisions

A fleeting ball of gossamer

Floats precariously on the wind

My soul’s sanity is dependant

On sticking a needle in

I’m no tower of strength

Built so tall and compelling

I’m not a font of love

There is no joy over welling

The line will end with me

Not drift infinite into space

It will never be the right time

The right person or the right place

Hopes are dashed here daily

Don’t come here to have your tears quenched

Truth cleans brighter then cleanser

Lesser emotions must be benched

So gird your loins and enter

Don’t be surprised when I say

I will not lose my center

There, at least, you have no say.

Bubble

Bubble

Frozen moments in time

Reach liquid form combusting

They explode into the present

With scents and senses reeling

A thread is ripped from time and space

It pulls the pattern out of weave

The slightest breeze untangles it all

And forces us to believe

In higher powers that control our lives

In fates and presence foreboding

To doubt is to no longer be alive

The past is fast eroding

Occupying Space

What would we do

If we obtained our hearts desire?

Would we stop striving

Live in complacency?

For without our dreams

We are simply carbon atoms

Occupying space

Till we return to sand

Perhaps the worst thing

Is to obtain perfection

For in gaining what we seek

We destroy all that we are

Simply

Cozy up and Cuddle

Run your hands through my hair

Nothing more

Relaxing by the cackling fire

You with your whisky

My, my tea

Each of us our books

Noses buried

Simply being together

That’s enough

Sharing each other’s space

Our hearts

TILL

I feel your hand touch mine

It slides up my hips

Your tongue burns my skin with fire

As it slowly climbs up my thigh

You pin me up against the wall

My hands are high above my head

You remove your tie

Gently, firmly bind them, bind me

A great pressure begins to mount

There is no time, no space, just us

You raise me so I could touch the universe

As I catch my breath, you slowly start the dance again

We change places and promaenade again, and again.

Till we are exhausted,

Till morning comes,

Till we

Muddy Footprints

If you walk beside me in the rain

Can I walk with you in the sun?

Our feet splash the sidewalk together

The mud covers our shoes

It would be cool if we touched

I’m content to share air and mud

The sun warns our entwined spaces

Just a little while longer

Then I’ll pass along

I’ll go the other way

You go right, I’ll go left

The sun will go away

Rain will come

Shadows will stay

All that will be left are

Muddy footprints

Poems: Black Hole Sad Smile

Black Hole

The greater object is thee

I collapse into myself

You draw nearer

You can not escape

Time and escape

Changes around us

There is nothing

No light escapes this place

Do we really exist

Is love an illusion

Harbouring each other

Like a port in a storm

Sooner or later

Gravity will stabilize

We will find ourselves

In a different Space

Will it be full

Of wonder and magic

Or will we witness

The first Big Bang

Sad Smile

Hiding in plain sight

Smile on my face

Glad they don’t know

What hides underneath

Sorrow and passion

Aren’t absent and wanting

Just come in such numbers

Too numerous to keep

Quicksilver changes

It exists in no form

But it DOES exist

Whether you want it or ‘no

Such are emotions

Both hidden and buried

Because you can’t see them

Doesn’t mean they don’t show

The signs are well hidden

The meaning are written

In language a few

Are privileged to speak

A twitch of the eyes

A cringe of the shoulder

Is volumes to those,

Honored and meek

The wisdom of ages

The knowledge of many

The love of a few

Who know what to do

So if you are reading

The poem and decode it

I think that this knowledge

Is speaking to you

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

Control

As I sit lost and hurt
Thoughts sped across my mind
Lying in dirt with a broken heart
Space and blood puddles in gallons at a time
The atmosphere is completely clear
Till my conscience starts to blur the sky
The trees start to sway
The breeze is not gentle
Lightning starts to streak
Hail and freezing rain
Falling, Failing to
Stop my
Heart from
Breaking
