Love
it’s equal to the pain
most treasured hurt
so much to gain..
who could know
how much I’d change
the moment you said hello..
As I fade away
the picture is clear -
naked and afraid
I’m coming home..
Its’ warmth and
love stained walls
welcome me in
Tasting the sweetness
more alive than I’ve ever been
standing tall I begin..
living on a fault line
designed to fall apart
cracks to gaping holes
living within the breaks..
what’s the truth in this beauty
divisive from the start..
uncontainable
it spills across the earth filling in the crevices
creating images in its’ wake
that can never be attained..
sparking fires
desires out of control..
I want you to stay
I’ll cave
slipping into the cracks
I’ll burn for you
scorch me from the inside out..
turn off the lights
stop the time
I’ll be waiting around the bend
high enough to escape
destructions end..
words disappear
reality sets in
left naked and open
baring it all..
no hiding behind shadows
or wearing words
with ambiguous meanings..
cutting my fingers off
regrets are done
no more ruminating
present moments have begun..
let your mind hear
what my heart feels
through my touch as it speaks..
give me your talk
I’ll give you mine
restless soul
slow down in time..
let’s be swept away
into that world of silence
we won’t touch ground
lost in the abyss..
my heart bleeds stardust
as the tears rolling down
crystalize from the euphoric effects of us..
wildly beautiful
such a rush..
a hungry ache..
the persistence
drawing compassion from my bones
to own all its’ wakened..
determination willing it to be..
there is nothing more to our story than the story itself..
we are who we are
the moments non-defining
in an overwhelming
non-binding kind of way..
Healing - revealing truths
small -ordinary -insignificant
making impossible fall away..
there’s pages to be written
stapling pieces back together
I’ll sit in the dirt with you
draw lines in the sand
let’s dirty our hands with life..
wash clean your heart
giving new color to all your strife
yearning longing for this new start..
locked you away
where it’s safe to play
love is abound - it’s all around
my heart beating to yours
a characteristic unique to you..
infectious - smiling
missing you all the while..
essentially bound
chemically entwined
a million thoughts and questions come to mind-
the silence slamming my feet to the ground..
yet walls come down
I yearn to be found
in the abstract existence of you..
let’s get lost again and again
tell it to me slow
tell it with your eyes
you are the basic part
making me whole..
there’s beauty in explosions
as the remnants spiral about
lighting up glimpses of us in the fallout..
my heart hits the ground
and
the energy that bound us
is out of this realm..
Unique - all its’ own
a life force unknown..
it won’t be contained
once let out
nothing remains..
a love is spiritually awakened
nuclear in its’ quest
causing such unrest..
radioactive ashes cascading about
setting my heart ablaze..
the intensity inflecting changes that
will follow me from hours to years..
this outburst sends shock waves
pulsating against my skin
with a magnitude that sears and shapes the core of my soul..
indelibly marked
bruised through to the bones
let it scar you beautifully
helping you grow
teaching and changing
you aren’t alone..
wash away darkness
marking you new..
let my fingers paint a picture
let me run them over you
making ugly beautiful
in ways we could know..
let’s fall into the sun
shine brighter than ever before
letting the warmth soothe the tattered parts of your soul
as you lay your heart upon
promises that can make you whole..
anger ignites
flaming ugly to life
bringing with it strife..
snuff it out
burn it whole
there’s more to life than this madness
change up your goals..
dawning of new possibilities
imaginations taking you to novel places
new words begin to fill the spaces
rich and clear and true..
take hold of my hand
make a stand
let those dreams keep waking you
shaking you to new realms..
walk through the doors of my mind..
unwind into the love that can so easily bind
burying the white noise that owns your mind
never lose the meaning of all that is gleaming from within..
so painful it’s dangerous
the wound is poison
absorbing my heart..
lingering on
black clouds shadowing me
Insidious hands boxing me in
falling apart
broken
truths that shatter my heart..
bruised skin
battered mind
you won’t win
standing at the edge of the abyss
it’s you I miss..
Bittersweet
I feel you
I hear you
I taste you..
starting to live again
there you are
in the middle of the day
in the middle of the night
letting me know it’ll be alright..
no more sorrow
no regrets
letting go
death has lost its’ sting
my heart will sing..
searching
yearning
heart brimming
empty
full
Is there a rule..
knowing so much
revealing so little..
baffled
I see my reflection and beyond -
the hope
the loneliness
and the gift of love..
each carrying a life sentence of its’ own..
distinct
blinding
leading us on
time alluding us before we know it’s gone..
we get small unaware
the shadow of life covers us all
the tunnel will bury us
Or we can stand tall
the draw is the light
at the end of the night..
