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..
all we feel
needs no conversation
to be real..
twist and turn with me
tune your heart..
we are a breath
a careless whisper..
my heart calls out in soundless ways
only loud enough to be felt
within the quiet roar of my soul..
your breath is all I need
to woo my heart..
lean in
absorb the quiet
as the echoes start..
unexplainable
undeniable
existing
within a world of your own..
take my hand
hold it tight
together we’ll create a home..
so many moments
so many days
You’ve roamed all alone..
isn’t it strange
how it can change..
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..
Love..
a word that doesn’t really need description..
it takes on a life of its’ own
felt in a touch
running throughout a person
filling the heart mind and soul with a feeling of longing
knowing you belong in the most beautiful of ways..
free
pure
a fresh breath of life..
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..
hole in my pocket
so eager to fall through
power, control it’s all yours..
love weaving together strands of emotions unknown
what’s in the abyss..
a glimmering light
or utter darkness
a soundless echo
or sounds of delight..
makes my heart
wild and vivid in a pale world
to laugh, to cry
accepting all the whys..
enchanted by the magic of the madness
I must confess..
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
