The seconds that tick
dissipate unaware
giving way to the day
creating moments that are rare..
unparalleled – unequal-
unique to their own..
not a given but a
gifting
your time like fine wine..
Take it in slow
savor it as it goes..
for if you’re lucky enough to see the value
of the time that entwines you
to those all around you
then you’re free to know
There is no hold
There is no goal
There is no premium on the giving of your soul..
For a moment
For a day
Show me the way..
bring me home to the place I wish to be..
I bleed every time I choose to lose..
my heart has quieted down
no longer wishing to drown..
last fight with my twin
the enemy within
not giving in
victory is my win..
The wrinkles on my soul have made me whole..
I’m strong, I’m weak
I’m right, I’m wrong
I’m all mixed up
But I belong..
Feathers or steel
why not both
They make me real..
love is a losing game
Defeat..
in ways that make you as it breaks you..
give in to the pain
It fills you with joy
with strength
So much to gain..
Shadows of your heart
Hit you in the darkest part
A noose around your neck
that grip will rip
till you feel no more..
trust it – walk through that door..
If I was a sculptor
I’d mold me into you
you into me
We’d be the best we could be
losing while we win to the best moments unknown
getting lost in the game with no name..
it’s quiet, it’s there
it’s all I hear..
Your whisper..
begins a storm
roaring like thunder through my core…
stealing my dreams
until you’re all I see
a chain around my soul
don’t set me free..
Feeling your breath touched without sound
you’ve set my heart into oblivion..
wild animal cries
drowning out what’s left of me
sinking to the depths below
places only we can go..
It’s rare, yet we dare..
the pain, the hurt
it all subsides
only goodness now resides..
the stones no longer in her head
the stones no longer make her bed
those words are full of life instead
so vibrant in their deathbed..
Something’s lost when something’s gained
every space in her heart remains..
No divide.. plenty of space to slide with all the love inside..
Set free from condemnation
Being lost was worth the coming home..
tread softly as you go-
it’s her bones that made you whole..
circular band of love
surrounding me like an orbit
good and bad
It’s all to be had when you dance the tango of love..
people within the walls of my world
live within the walls of my heart
It takes two, four or more to make one..
They walk with me
talk with me
in this journey of love..
and with each breath I take
sunshine and tears are left in its’ wake..
Diamonds in the rough
We’ve only just begun..
We are brilliance taking shape
Baby steps learning to run..
an internal reflection
a refraction of light
trippin through it
falling up
Trying to catch the sun..
A dark side, a bright side
You’ve cut me open wide..
shaping me, embracing me
in many ways enhancing the reflection of you through me..
You are the moon that becomes the sun illuminating my heart till it’s all undone..
winter comes
winter goes..
Changes happening down below
as the sun is grooming
Flowers blooming
yet fear remains
It is looming..
the warmth abounds
not in this room
the chill alone blooms and grows..
deeply seeded you is all it knows
covering me in a frigid cold..
Lying here thinking
I wish for change
No longer willing to remain chained..
so much love – you’re here and there
The warmth is spreading through all I’ve dreaded
Memories thawing the icy chill..
embracing the new
as the cold brews into spring
coming with it new moments of you..
No longer focused on where I’ve been or what remains
my look is up
I’m feeling change
one step forward
Is how I’ll grow
captivated for us
Lost in the know..
Musings…
thoughts are everything..
seeping into
every pore of my being..
nurturing my mind
catering to my heart
powering my soul..
imaginings that turn me inside out
notions growing me in ways that hurt –
I relate to both..
I couldn’t –
wouldn’t desert my musings..
they make me whole
Those moments I get lost in
The imaginations that come to life
sometimes causing strife
Absorbed into my core..
no need to steal back the moments
Or hide them deep
There will be no breach
The daydreaming is steeped within my reach..
perfection in our messy way
chaotic love rules our day..
It fills me up and
Lights me bright
I’d have it no other way..
I’d relive each day with all the messiness we create in its’ wake..
You are my smile
deep and wide
everything good that fills my insides
beautiful friendship in this sea of love
You are endless loves’ delight..
