Underlying..

reflective
quiet
peaceful
somber..
moods within your words..
you sit in a smile
drawing me in from miles
you light me up
losing my way into you
my dreams sleep now
As I weep in your hands..
a slow drip into my soul
a gentleness takes over
most beautiful love
with power under control..

the in between..

strange duet
sweeter still
sing with me
play with me
let my tune wrap your heart..
hear my voice as I call your name
the in between holds the beauty
we seek to gain..
feel the angel wings holding us tightly, gently - with tender care
intimacy overpowering the fear
and we dare to sing loudly
like never before..


Absorbed..

invisible wounds
Scars that dig in deep
I carry them within
a battle that never ends..
hopeful yet struggling
Hold me tight
I won’t give in to the fright..
immersed in the beauty
that keeps
giving
reaching out
calling me
Drawing me
To a new light
an atmosphere so bright
I’m no longer buried alive..

state of mind..

flushed cheeks
tears staining her soft skin
eyes bright with anticipation
so many changes making her weak..
yet deep within she grows
with each new wound
flesh is sown
with each word
you resonate within her mind..
give her your coldest shoulder to cry upon
it’s where she longs to be..
destinies shaped and forming
she has no more of a choice
in following this path
as it goes from here to there
than a swirl of ashes floating aimlessly without a care to its’ end..
She eats and waits to be eaten..

footnote..

pictures scattered about
tattered edges worn out..
days of old
depicting moments filled with hope..
memories golden
hearts of steel
sweet dreams
somehow torn apart at the seams..
sweet and heady
made me feel unsteady
It’s okay you know
to rid your mind of all of me..
but keep the photos
it’s all that’s left
One day
time will be fine
it won’t claw at your heart..
I’ll never be gone
the footnote of us lives on..
surrender to new starts
let the clouds part..

linked…

black and blue
bruised by you
pounded by intense love..
look how we’ve grown
a parade of shades
coloring me up
in brightest of hues
I never knew..
wearing you is something so true
the link to my golden chain
worth all the rain
every step
every turn
every lesson learned
We are worth it all..
laying it down
we turned it around
closing up walls that bound us
to the halls of moments past..

Timeless..

there was no start

I see no end

wrapped in time

yours and mine..

do I go

trusting the unknown

do I stay

showing you the way..

frayed edges

parched souls

ruling us no more..

thoughts and hearts attentive

like never before

setting us free to roam

into the heart of our home..

no other way

you are my known..

paint you anew..

take some chances
let me paint you free
writing my name
deep in your pain..
every little worry brushed away
filled with moments here to stay..
I’ll paint you anew
in ways you never knew..
chiseled and etched
deep in your mind
I’ll have you walking lost in time..
take some steps with me
let’s unwind..
the dirt is set deep
let’s break that mold
bring your bare feet
dirty them up again
creating designs
that are yours and mine..


take it back..

step into a world
they say
where you can be what you’re not..
the hype of the dreams
not what it seems..
they sold you
to the lies they told you
words rolling easily off the tongue
fingers outstretched
so it’s begun..
what is the fun
in being who you aren’t
rivalries will own you
it’s all for naught..
the chasm is real
the fall never ends
no one to rescue you
from all of your ills
It’s wearing exhausting
where are the thrills..
step back in time
take back your mind
to a world
where the silver lining is as it’s told
no one can stop you from
living life bold..
