might I come for awhile,
little bitty dreams
of yesterday
have returned.
crisp air has forged
a wool blanket, yet
within you I’d feel protected.
air has freedom I’m unsure
of, terrifying ideas
too many possibles,
too many versions of me
compete.
your walls,
could bring me peace,
looking up …
the distance makes
me dizzy.
Please,
just
let
me
lay
my
head
right
here.
I
need
you.
I imagine your arms
Wrapping
The way they must hold her
Your touch offered
Encouraging her to dream
Believing
Your words encourage me
Similarly
Poetic Misery
sitting in the valley
of what might be
for the first time,
suffocating
Thunder calls
Soothes, instantly.
I feel
What I cannot see.
Silence explains
Everything.
Nature sighs,
Humanness remains.
I watch lightning
Seek me
Through the trees,
And sense you
Leaving,
Light ceasing
To reach me.
Claim envelopes dawn
Monochrome protects sunshine
Moon nods, not today
Waking with a peaceful dawning
Your love stretches across
Allow me to bathe in your glow
Cobalt fades to cerulean
Equidistant appears too far
Lapping water and a beacon
Remind me of where you are
Today,
(warm splendid breeze)
All I want,
(which makes a vibrating heart ache)
Is to hold your warm hand,
(your caring touch that ultimately guides)
And tell you everything.
(my lifetime of moments, making me who I am)
Wary of your destined flow,
Not knowing if you’ll return,
To me, is terrifying, always.
Peace soothes,
My mind
My desire
My heart
In your absence.
The deep impression of your approach,
Breathes into my obedient soul,
When I’m quiet enough to honor you.
Can we, count and wish
On clouds, like we do stars
Would we, be granted the love
We need, then flown to places
Far away, to catch the one
We love, while they’re still sleeping
Kissing them, wide awake
Rolling through our blue sky
Only problem, which way do I go
With or against everything I know
Mistakes will continue to happen, daily
Praying my path brings me to you safely
If you’d let me
I’d sing you to sleep
A lullaby
Good night
Sweet dreams
Til morning, my love
Suits you so well, it seems
But I don’t know, do I
I’m best left like this
Longing
For your words
And you
Where ever you are
