Sleeper

Stealing glimpses through morning lashes, lips sewn shut like secrets kept. I love you. and you have to know, my runaway train can barely hold this rail and its true I'm cold inside because how blue the sky is never really was the issue... I step oh so lightly- it hurts to break you but we settled too deep and too far back. lost in time progress discarded for old habits worn thin, pulse uneven while tempers hot fire that burns even when its not- the horizon seems tilted vision skewed and out of whack reaching for the perfect timing of souls that wait. but breath is caught and vision blurred a dirty taste in my parched mouth. And its unbelievable 'cause you felt it too, but that never stopped you before.

Gone along your winding road

So you tell me then theres nothing more
thats all, thats it.
and it kills me,
but I've died so many times before
these seeping wounds, flow and unable to staunch
I'll look to your horizon perpetually
the threadbare sunset in its frail glory...
warm against the pounding rain, but insides split
soul turned fragmentary
and so I regress, through ruts worn deep
to calm familiarity
in the absence of your blazing embrace

Any Given Someday

Never can I be he or she or me
keeping up with all those somedays
projected like film into these fantasies
only a hologram and you cant touch-
the faded skipping record that warps these dreams.
Not here or now or then but never
open souls that light the way
Naked feet tread conflicting paths in wounded gardens
each story set in motion, pages torn in threes
a fable stitched like stars into a seam of sky
eyes that penetrate but only ghosts of these
burning mouth and bruising palms
Not lost or found or gone but here
colorful illusions cradled against the dark
trailing along after all those somedays

Illuminate Me

The sun shines more and more
illuminating
unveiling things that werent there before
Or can I truely see out through the glare?
flowers bloom despite the ice
frost thaws
and windows open wide
Doors still tightly latched against the outside
and I wonder
What will come with Spring?

Doesn't Matter

Doesnt Matter

It doesnt matter what you call it
we'll both fall in the end
I know, you'll see
comfort shared and soft kisses in the night
tracing moonbeams on your skin
I cant help but touch you
this risk I took, not ill fated as I feared
the gentle breeze of one mind meeting another
lifts my spirits and makes me soar.
it doesnt matter what you call it
this peace I feel is not often claimed
your eyes meet mine, I cant control my smile
blushing, feeling new like a child
I'll relax into your arms, run my fingers through your hair
It doesnt matter what you call it

You Will Always be My Muse

You will always be my Muse

It seems as though its done now
faded slow but almost out
but still you are my inspiration
my guiding light to whats in me
I saw in you the sweetest shadows of my soul
but a soul can only leave a body for just so long
cherished words and a song, for you
dreams that never were
and it takes even more to see
You cross my mind a thousand times
just like this earth you tread so desperately.
I know you'll find it in the end
and my words will keep on coming
your face will guide my hand.
The gift you gave so much more
because you see, what you gave was me

Forgotten

Forgotten

These heartstrings you caressed like a fine instrument
would sing just to feel you
but now no sight, no sound
just the quiet stillness of what never was.
ties cut, and yet again
no answering voice in the dark
lost again and maybe never found
your restless wandering of this cruel world
is there a source to what you seek?
Will you find me someday, and be saddened by what you see?
hope unrequited, but its all thats there
I loved you
but now your lost
and my hopes and fears and love
are forgotten....
will you ever remember?
