One

Patches of skin
Tracing the patterns of old scars
A slow sinuous sharing of souls
Time seems to stop
As we lie together
My hands in your hair
Your hands everywhere
Dying
Languidly
As one

Needs..

I only want to be lying...
Lying on a beach
Lying on my side
Lying with you

I simply want to hold...
Hold hands during the toughest storms
Hold on for one more day
Hold you tight and never let go

I always will be...
Always be yours
Always be there
Always and forever, my love

Dawn

Cresting on the horizon
The beautiful orange, red and gold
The world breaks into view
Light imbues all it touches
Waking the world, making it feel bold

Brighter now and harsher
The light remove the dark dank spaces
There is no place to hide
The wide and luminous blaze
Has cleared the shadows from faces

Untitled 1252

My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon
Together there's nothing we cannot do
My world begins and ends with you
To you I cannot be untrue
For you my heart was hewn
My world begins and ends with you
You are my stars and sun and moon

Untitled #975

Slowly, I feel the fire burn down
In its heart, as small embers rattle round
Waiting for its proper time
The air, the wind, the fire
Searching through ash without tire
Who cares about a little grime

Suddenly a catch, a spark
A flame that is no longer dark
Flashing across now burning ground
Trapped by logs of timber steady
Placed there easily, conspicuous, and ready
The love encircled the flames all around

Pondering

I turn on to a crossroad. Which path do I take?
Both look like each other. No difference do I see.
I could court adventure or take the Narrow Path.
The roads may lead to fire or a beautiful bright crystal lake.
What happens when a tree blocks the path in front of me suddenly I've noticed all around me is fake.
Life is merely an illusion. Pictures we conceive.
Life has shades of color. It's not just black and white.
When we can't see the details, we argue and fight.
If we choose the right road, it helps us to believe.
So take the small steps carefully, the big ones fast.  
Take a deep breath and remember, this too shall pass.

Ritual

I'd love us to be together
I hate it when we part
There's no storm we can't weather
Bound by soul and heart

Hearts and minds and voices
Combined in glorious song
All life is based on choices
And we pray we are not wrong

When we finally join in flesh
As mind is joined and heart
Our souls will full mesh
We never more will part

Ribbons

Ribbons on wrists
Stronger then wire
Feeding my ecstasy
Bringing me higher
More than gravity
Holding me down
Put in my place
With a smile or a frown
You hold the power
Over my soul
Fulfilling my body
Making me whole

Fear

Afraid is such a broad term
But currently how I feel
Afraid of what I'm feeling
Afraid it could be real
Terror down to my bones
Anticipation and dread
If this isn't terror or fear
I cringe at what's being said
This world is crashing down on me
Anxiety closing in
As the curtains fall dark and slack
I recounts all my sins
Fear is knowing you aren't best
Your best isn't good enough
No matter how you play the game
You play a bit too rough
No one will ever think on you
With stardust in their eyes
Or longing speak your name
With a heaving hearty sighs
The world is full of us
The normal everyday folk
The ones afraid of everything
Too scared to even joke
Our numbers they are legion
Out of cities we do rise
But no one ever hears us
For silent are our cries

Untitled 789

Wither you wander
I wander too
Following everywhere
Lost in you

The world fades
Sounds dim
Except for my heartbeat
A loving hymn
