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..
tear-filled eyes
heart cries
hating goodbyes..
each tear willing
time to stop
slow down
rewind..
give me time in this fleeting space to untwine my heart and mind..
intense passionate
sorrow ensues..
but without goodbyes
one can’t savor the moment of new beginnings
the winnings in letting go..
the hope of the unknown
joy and sadness intertwined like two lovers with one mind..
teaching us the goodness of leaving it all behind..
deep enough to dream
I seek you
wide enough to fall
I grasp you..
steady while stumbling
falling in
I’ll take the tumble
to be your all..
the touch of your skin
draws me in..
reaching out for the depths of where I may land..
are you my quick sand –
will you swallow me whole..
are you my steady –
true blue real – like steel..
sudden rapid shaking
undeniably real..
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..
you took my soul into the night
set me free to do what’s right
there is no darkness now
no need for light
i see so clearly my love
you shine bright..
see it
feel it
read it in my eyes
what can’t be spoken
can be woken..
each teardrop telling a story
as your skin absorbs me in..
there’s a win big enough -
past, present, future colliding
as we find our way back home
jump in…
behind closed doors
Is it what we imagine
Is it all just a song..
someone writing lyrics
of all that’s right and wrong..
steady sounds smoothly
humming about
sometimes quiet
sometimes a shout..
musty odors of life lived
then boxed away..
words drifting through the air
I feel them on my skin
somehow comforting
as I realize
life will always begin..
A narrative
my narrative
rumbling through the mind
arms reaching out and grabbing
so I’m not left behind..
a story
my story plays on and on
then rewinds..
eclipsed
by lightning bolt urgency
of moments lost
moments gained
edited by time..
We
won’t be lost in translation
blurring the line
beautiful ghost
never decline..
not quite reachable
yet teaching my soul
that lost doesn’t mean
one can’t be whole..
you are balm in my heart
teaching right can be wrong
and delight can be had in the sad..
no sound to tragedy
a numbing silence ensues..
no sound to joy
no such rules..
yet moments boxed away
come out to play
creating an explosion of the heart radiating from the inside out..
a beautiful destruction is on display
reconstructing what began
our beginnings..
everything is nothing
and nothing never ends
our story is forever
in the end - my mind wins..
embroidered throughout me
stitches of you
sewn directly onto my heart..
heaven and hell
I know it well..
distant- present
friend or foe
how to know..
miles weaving us apart
fabric wearing thin…
your presence lingered from the start
catching my breath
time and time again..
running out of ways to miss you
absorbing the empty space..
like a lover it washes over me
sometimes healing
sometimes killing
from the inside out..
quite the privilege to grieve
such love that received me fully
leaving patterns of us splayed out cruelly
ripping me
shredding me ever so fine..
Slowly
stitching us back together
displaying moments of a place and time that made you mine..
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..
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..
