Count Your Blessings

I always take the easier path
I think you know that by now
But once I set a deadline
I will hold strong to it
Or I will do my best to try
I've always been weak when it comes to you
Count your blessings when it comes to that
That you have that loophole
It will eventually close
Second chances that have turned into
Third or fourth or fifth ones
May soon disappear
Will you regret it
When they do?

Forgiven

I'm not sure how much longer we two can wander
Two hearts, two souls bound halfway the world around
Not yet able or ready to be, if only we could foresee
The bumps in the pathway, the call at the end of the day
Balanced by goodness, purity and light, Knowing in our hearts what's wrong and what's right
These thing we sustain have grown weak, causing pain
Two things can be done to heal two hearts already won
The answers are easy, already written,
Drawn together, spoken, forgiven

The Conversation*(An adventure in Sonnets Part 2)

No longer, a child do I seek

Nature or nurture neither will sway

My own body, my will, wilst not obey

Stay quiet love and let me speak

With thy noble equine visage, sallow, hallow'd cheek

You cannot answer thus today

Less your mother belied your father with a Fae

Don’t cry my love, one might think you weak

Forsooth, I cannot bare the sight

Though it grieves me much to say it

The words make me, seem flighty and trite

Can I hold your hand before the journey starts?

It scares and pains me to betray it

I care only now for protection, not for our hearts.

Slander

No one is made to be perfect

Everyone is made to be strong

When we tear each other down

We only destroy ourselves

Our foundations are built of trust

Lies serve only to obliterate

Viciousness and slander are the tools of the weak

Helping them only to fall further

We must stop trying to top and topple each other

Together we can reach the stars
