eerily quiet
wasn't prepared for the sounds that dissipated
searching high and wide
for any familiarity
to keep me grounded
trying to remain true to myself..
what is truth ?
can it be found
when all that fills me are covered in lies ..
I will rise
not to be held down..
in this empty space I find myself
I hear my thoughts
I feel my emotions
the present moment never more clear
as I draw near to the silence I feared..
easy love
touching fire
light a cigarette
watch me burn
alive in the ashes
your hands on the heart
bring me to life
a new start ..
empty space becoming the place
my mind will unwind..
sit
slow down
stay awhile
savor this taste
as we get lost in the waste..
crimson scarlett ruby or rose..
which hue is most exposed..
vibrant
powerful - all telling..
is it love
is it rage..
does it tell stories of uncontrollable desires
or mask the turmoil hidden beneath the unspoken cruelty ..
the words
I love you…
wrap a heart ever so tightly
binding the mind until they are one..
such a dichotomy-
the heart and mind..
opposing sides
a battle ever ready
all confined within a tiny space
with no place to run..
you are
danger to my heart
always were..
as I’m changing shades
I lay me down to sleep
at your feet..
what will be remembered..
the laughs
the hurts
the tender moments that bind..
as I wind this road
what will I find..
Suspended in time
I am reminded
all goodbyes ache to the core..
within the pain love remains
memories bring it all to life
and my heart soars..
it isn’t the good
or the bad that sums us up
it is the all we had
that sets us aside..
for that I won’t be sad
rather striving to live in the glad
as the ties slowly slip away..
If a shooting star could talk
that’s what it’s like..
an explosion of her heart
falling in love..
untouchable- yet on display for all to see..
moments making
memories
cascading into dreams
lighting up her insides
bursting at the seams..
eternity starting and ending there..
she melds into the moments
so real - seen or unseen
her entire being giving way to life and all that it would be..
travailing through my mind
unstain me
you’ve stroked my heart
covered my skin
I should have done better
stopped at the win..
to give up the moments
would be such a sin..
eternal rain
growing within
a love that will echo
through space and time..
with each breath
we begin..
words..
seductive
enticing
frightful and kind..
magical wonderful
please take your time..
storytelling - opening up
what was once blind
drawing me in
Owning my mind..
I wish to crawl
into your head to be lead
to the innermost parts of your soul
and see the world whole..
clumsy in my love for you
coloring of the heart
bruises I choose
Losing in the win
Your words a breath of air to my soul..
a quiet presence
a gentle touch
I see you dancing mid-air..
there is no sunset covering us
but the stars light up the sky
and rest in your eyes
and that’s not nothing
we live forever in that horizon..
attentive to all the ways
I love you
is whispered to my soul..
wonderful moments
in bits of blue and gold
fragments that make me whole..
gifting some to you
can’t let it go to waste
don’t give it space to disappear..
let’s change up faces of blue
after all - it’s ordinary you
splashing extraordinary hues
over my heart mind and soul..
killing me softly
in the most gentle of ways..
uncomfortable
challenging
the in-between space..
it’s not aimless wandering
as I fumble and tumble about..
your willingness to ground me
with love that knows no bounds
bending me in ways I never knew..
every flaw
every mark
every scar
I want you and all we are..
