Air

You flow through me
Beating hearts in time
Sharing thoughts in rhyme
If only you were free
I wait here patiently
Knowing you are mine
Watching how you shine
Holding your heart's key
Random thoughts rush in
Pushing out your voice
I hear the quiet calling
The echo and the din
I have no other choice
Over and over I'm falling

The Burning and The Cold

The burning when we touch
The cold when we part
The hollow remains
Of my once beating heart
Pulled into pieces
Remade and reborn
The endless circle
Of love and forlorn
The distance and the silence
The closeness and the peace
One day it will vanish
Patient cares will cease
Till the stars finish shining
Till sun and moon go out
Hold me here beside you
My love never in doubt

Daybreak

Before the world wakes
We lay in each other
Holding onto each other's soul
Keeping quiet and hoping
The day passes us by
So we can stay
Cuddled and cosy
Trying to stop time

Perspective

We walk the path, we followed the light
Toes painting patterns in the dew
We did not listen, we did not heed
We played as children our life unseen

Then nature turned, overwhelmed by seaweed
Oh Gaia, help us! won't you?
Come to us this darkened night

Foaming, frothing, frantic and green,
Contrasting to the cool ocean blue What a vivid, haunting site!
Impossible to conceive

The world has returned to right
No longer a fantastic scene
Our perspective returns anew

Cento Time

One season following another,
Not a sound from the pavement,
As stars stop where there are
To reach the impossible.

Safe Space

Lying in the dark
Cocooned in your arms
This is my safe space
Where I belong
If we didn't have to leave
We could lay here forever
This heart must be parted
But still remain bound
Take my soul
You possess it completely
Take my mind
It's lost without you
I will be whole again
When you return to my side
To cuddle, cocooned in the dark

Apart

How I wish you were here
To keep away the fright
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

When the world seems weary
And pain blossoms bright
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

I'd sign away our future
To end my current plight
This decision isn't easy. This burden isn't light.

Will you come to hate me?
Will the pattern turn out right?
My decision isn't easy. Your burden isn't light.

Partner piece to this

Within

Concentrate on only you
But bid while I do stay
Love is lost not to you

I wish for love but true
Behold here, within sight
This torn heart, stays with you

End this cold, lonesome night,
Come to me. Pledge love so true.
Stop once more this lover's fight!

Listen and Witness

Earth, Wind, Air, and Fire.
Listen and Witness.
I swear not to betray this trust.
Not to stray from my vow,
Not by look or illusion
By deed or by thought,
Through touch or recoil,
By waking or sleeping,
In speech or in silence,
In absence or in presence,
In this land or any other
Less fire burn me,
Air smother me,
And water cover my grave

Climb

Rendezvous scheduled and planned
Not to a far distant shore
Hair tangled in my hand
Never got past the front door
Breath, speeding and slowing
Causing fire in its wake
The path it etches is flowing
Making me tremble and quake
Heartbeats echo each other
Racing to beat in time
Ascending higher and further
Till there's nowhere left to climb
I've found heaven in your arms
Together we're safe from all harm
