Beauty

image

There’s this face I see
In the mirror
Occasionally lost in fantasy
Pushing through
Emotionless days
I’m done looking
Sunshine
Show your rays
Fingers pointing out
All my flaws
One freckle
Two freckles, gone
Forget it
Lost cause
Nose too short
Cheeks too big
None mine
All inherited
Should be thankful
Proud, too
Yet poisoned
By You

Exquisite Moment

image

Our distance disguised as intriguing
Whispers to me of fate’s cruelties
What will come of this meeting
Overwhelmed with curiosity
Wherever you are tonight
I wish to be there, too

Lost in exquisite surroundings
Stopping to admire this powerful view
An alluring disaster such as this
Can easily be related to, understood
Fate’s sensual act unfolding before me
Rain tending to the sun beautifully

Through soft, yet dark, cloud pillows
Curtains of rain will wash the sun
Sun submitting to the rain’s shower
A risk, plentiful if carefully tended to
This moment locked sublimely away
Will include wishing thoughts of you

Elusive You

image

Quietly, I approach the black night
Looking for a glimpse of elusive you
Never far away, yet always out of sight
I crave your flighty essence, my dear

Leaning into who I believe you are
I wait patiently for you to arrive
Shadows lurking beneath the water
I sense that you are incredibly near

Elusiveness keeps your heart beating
Day dwellers will never be your type
However, I’ve seen you rise for me
Your calmness soothes irrational fears

Some would push to cage your spirit
Others have threatened your home
I’m merely looking for a way inside
The mind I can’t seem to leave alone

Eerily the stalwart wind begins to blow
I’m reminded, night comes before light
Quickly you change your path’s course
I’m left to marvel over once in a lifetime

Wild Grass

image

Come with me, Darling
Abandon reality for me, please
I’ve something to show you
Bite your lip, no questions allowed
Remember, Baby, it’s me
We both know you love it here
Happy you’re following and I asked
Watch my long legs tiptoe along
Nature’s pathway of wild grass
A secret hideaway found beyond
You’ll know what to do
Take over and lead
I trust you

Tracking Mobility

image

Lengthening her grasp on reality
Slowly needing to release control
She pushes herself to walk forward

Will the ends of normal ever meet again

Realizing that everyone is watching
Often feeling they’d love to see her fail
She continues to track her mobility

Will the ends of normal ever meet again

A cheering crowd she doesn’t need
Never a half hearted slap on the back
She’s had a lifetime of accepting that

Will the ends of normal ever meet again

Wavering on the direction of her path
She focuses on an improved horizon
Settling for nothing but an honest effort

You Calm Me

image

You calm me

You pass through my soul
Like a warm summer wind
Easing me back into color
I’m thankful for where you’ve been

You calm me

Staying by my trembling side
Laughter with my movements
Sparkle in these shy eyes
You could easily be the reason why

You calm me

Take me, I’m yours
Good morning, my love
Come closer, accept my gratitude
I owe you so much more

You calm me

Infatuated kisses await your approving
Release this passion I hold
Longing to feel you wash over me
Thankful that you want me close

You calm me

Grant me the permission I crave
Allow me to calm you
Last night’s wistful dreams
Should be your morning reality

Darkness

image

I try to write
Yet, nothing comes
Too much uncertainty
Consumes my thinking
I’m left with nothing to feel
Come to me, my muse
You know what to do
I’ve nothing to give
Living in darkness
However, it all runs through me
Their pain
His fear
Her joy
Your love
My desire
I’ve nothing left to offer
Come get me
Make them all go away
Allow me to lose myself in you
