tethered..

wrapping me
round and round 
matters not 
which way is up or down 
lost my bearings 
as I slowly hit the ground ..
the depth of you has no ending 
giving new meaning to a beginning.. 
in the silence I've found a beautiful sound
wounds no longer hardening my soul..
each moment fulfilling a purpose 
absorbing it
learning from it 
shaping me whole..
this calcified heart beating a new rhythm with the touch of yours 
tethered forever 
connecting us deep..
weaved through and through 
the depth of you residing within 
making me new..

cut the ties..

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..

back on my feet..

hearts connecting in the quiet
space can’t erase what one knows.. 
feelings pounding
against the chest 
Slamming..
can you feel it 
can you hear it
after all this time..
Or are you trapped in your mind
moments keeping you stuck..
I’ll take reason over choice 
mistakes crumbling 
losing their power
in the bewitching hour.. 
no promises to keep 
wisdom keeping me on my feet..

ending as I begin..

Longing — 
The echo of things to come.. 
Running to it 
running from it 
reverberating so loudly within 
it’s become my sin..
make me or break me
my soul cries out..
cleanse me from the fight 
That destroys my might..
Different shoes I’ve been walking 
living miles blindly 
winding this path
looking for green grass..
only to discover
the color is whatever I choose it to be..
can’t run from me..

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..

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..

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..
