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..
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..
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..
can you hear it
the quiet that can’t be stilled..
your silence
enters my soul
screaming out of control..
as pain and joy are tethered together
so is our love
you fill the creases of my everyday pages with hope..
the essence of you wafting gently takes hold of my senses..
life maker
heart changer
giving life to dry bones
you are my hope lost
a love that knows no bounds..
I lust for life and
moments time can’t erase..
Your secrets are my secrets
left to be told
Open me wide
Let’s be bold..
You picked me
groomed me
Shaped me your own
loneliness calling
you made us a home..
the chasm keeps spreading
a mind of its’ own
bleeding out slowly
no way to be won..
you keep reaching, stretching because you care
now you can rest
there’s so little there..
though we are rattled
I won’t stop the battle
the end is coming
no way to undo the damage
it’s done…
a heart splashed in stills
images seared
black -white -colorful frills..
Captured forever
a moment in time
your love fills the gap
molting over me
shaping - renewed..
emotions overflowing
blank pages growing
Will the heart tell a story
A love in its’ glory
a book that is sealed
binding the winding of life as it goes..
moments become memories
living on and on
moments past gone
within a reel of time
dancing reliving
Let’s rewind…
It is all new
this town of old..
as the simple beauty began to unfold
Seeing it with new eyes
It all came alive..
It’s vibrant, it’s real
awakens my soul..
enjoying watching people living their lives
laughing and chatting or
lost in their thoughts –
moments that matter
all at a cost..
Even those less fortunate-
the ones that reside outside-
show a sense of belonging,
adding beauty to the nitty gritty of the hard life they hold,
but never told..
These magnificent old buildings – the secrets they house – so many lives passed through their doors with the many stories hidden inside
They groan and moan, as if they are waiting to share with us, the lives unknown..
The past brings me present
I am reminded once more
That home is always home
no matter how I’ve grown
and old becomes new as it filters through you..
anticipation is
running strong
Thoughts and memories of days long gone..
nerves and excitement fill the air
while some walk around to shy too share
others are living, walking vibrant stories
waiting to unfold with friends of old..
Father Time we can’t rewind — yet the past is vibrant in their minds..
we see it dancing in their eyes – the joy spills over and for a time
past and present intertwine..
It’s good, it’s right
their hearts delight and they let themselves get lost to the magic of the night..
And the days of old become moments of gold..
I wear our history on my face
memories spilling out as I smile
The map of us shaping my heart
I see your shadow everywhere
It calls to me
soothing, warm, embracing
I hear you in the wind of my soul
There we dance
there we celebrate
There we live..
forever engraved in my heart
loving you is such a beautiful privilege and
to have walked together leaves me in silent joy
I’ll always wish there was a way to get back home..
