traffic in my head..

where do I turn 
where do I run
you were the one..
the sun that lit me up
the fun that kept me high
all in one..
no cure for this malady
no antidote
you're buried deep within
as pure a love I've ever known..
twisting and turning
you own this heart
in the big unknown..
to know it in my bones
the unseen
this kind of love
is to be set free
in a time that was made
for you and me..

stop the train – but don’t..

home again..
where is it
when everything changes..
moments evaporate
loved ones following
dissipating into thin air
undoing my sure footing ..
can I take it back
rewind time
set my foot back behind..
is it real
can time stand still..
Or wishful dreaming
holding so tight to the seams
as it all seeps through the tears
of life as it wears on you..
let the wheels keep turning
while all i know is burning
setting new ground
where my heart can take root
and there I'll be found..

pure unfiltered emotions
ever so rare
once upon a time all mine to lay bare..
free to be me
lost in that space
one could say it's my favorite place..
just one day
what I would give
leave me to wonder around in it
and live..
the messes
the joy
the chaos so real
I'd run through each moment with unabandoned zeal..
walk away they say
couldn't leave with grace..
carved into my memory
moments ever so sacred
our special place ..

sanctuary

nothingness..
refuge from it all
the first sound of silence I've heard all day..
loud raging invisible sounds
banging round my heart to
my mind..
looking for ways to escape and unwind..
never certain what's real or a dream..
chaos - a life of its' own- is never quite what it seems..
what I seek can't be touched
won't be found going round and round..
it comes in whispers
when my heart settles down..
What I hear in the quiet calms down the riot..
grateful to walk through these moments
they're mine
time will do what time does as
i unwind...

silence..

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..



Etched whispers

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..

little bits of love..

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..

love in motion..

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..
