I don’t think I’ll ever grow used to your eyes.
The way they see into my soul.
Like amber pools, what mysteries have bathed there. Rinsing the deceit and lies that rise in my mind.
Emerging clean, new and ocean blue.
I never want to hide- but whisper the truth only for your ears to hear
I
love
you

Peace like a river flows
from my heart and to my mind
cleansing the doubt from my body
washing the dust from my eyes
causing me to see again -
Love
Love, that really had never left
but had waited patiently
with outstretched hands
and a warm smile
praying for my safe return home.
I remember
my potential, my Saviour
I am not forgotten.
upon your palms
I am engraven
Stand firm in the knowledge
that you are never alone-
and in the darkest night
that eternal light shines the most bright.

These demons have outstayed their welcome
They have made residence in my atoms
I feel them dance among my molecules
And sleep in my cells
They move around my tissues
And are anchored steadfastly to my organs
A corrupt system have they formed
And I assisted them at every turn
Protected them, hid them, and fed them.
And now, after they have learned my secret places
And know me from the inside out
Their claws are in deep
And they will never leave
But that is fine by me,
Without them,
What would I be composed of?

As I wander, grows the chasm
From my heart to yours
Home beckons me
But this body has been sculpted to roam
Attachments made of tenuous fiber
Beside her, they stay
An anchor to what once was
Forgiveness that you keep close
I can only but hope with me you would share
Impart to me the desire to feel
Awaken and inspire my heart to love again
I, like clay, moldable and true to the shape of your hands
Would remake myself for you
Just say the words

Empty houses
Leave violent echoes
Of the choices we made
But the throes of death
Will eventually subside
And we are left with
More reason to hide
I cover myself in truth
And then bide my time
I know you are ruthless
But so am I
I will pass this test
And let my feelings for us die

The thought of you holds sleep at bay
Do you ever think of me?
I think of you
In landscapes I wander
Dreamless and weary
Searching for that familiar face
Remember how we laughed the first date?
You smiled encouragingly as I opened up
I remember the second
And you opening the door not just the car
But the one to your soul
And the third when you held me close, and kept the cold at bay
When your lips first touched mine
I was shocked and felt so alive
It was that day. That evening.
That was the last day you
Shared your love with me
You were slow to respond
And I felt like a hit and run victim
You order me to move on
And I an obedient soldier,
Do my best
But I just wander lost in love or lust
I don't know
Visions of you flicker across my eyes
Painting the sky in shades of red and blue
I am shell shocked,
My pulse racing to unknown ends
And to make amends
Would it **** you?
To tell me why?

I need you to feel alive
These dusty corners of my heart
Have no melody
I reluctantly fold my heavy arms
That offered no protection against your charms
I always will regard you
As a ghost
You haunt will my footsteps
As I pass through the lonely halls of life
You will never confront me
But your spirit of animosity
Will poison what was once pure
And now I can be sure
All we are is...

Beat
The sound of the heart
Beat
The steady drum that determines the time and rhythm of our life
Beat
This heart is a token of our life that we all possess
Beat
It sends life blood, shooting through arteries and streaming inside our veins
This persistent beat beat beat
determines whether we live or are considered dead
If we are all moved by this immensely powerful *****
That beats for life
love
hope
and what could be,
Why do we insist on treating one another less than our equal
This hearts that beats cries for what we all want acceptance and love...
If we want to initiate change we need to have a discussion
But after feeling pride that we CAN recognize that there needs to be change and doing nothing for the injustices we see
We need to decide how much of our heart are we willing to give to another
to make this change happen
We will find that we cannot give what we do not have, and in order to have, we must give away

Your name was like a prayer to me
Safely kept in the corners of my heart
With one utterance I was afraid it would
Send you away
If I could do it over I would say your name every day
And cherish it like a prayer unto my soul
Our love could have healed that hole
That I know pained you
But my lips could only speak truth
And your ears were dead to honesty
Your feet and head took you away from me

Please tell me something beautiful
I want to feel alive
Like stars framed in the sky
Out light extinguished long ago
But the ethereal traces of us can still be
Observed dancing throughout the galaxy
And with every glimpse of those lingering memories
My heart grows colder and more distant
From this world
And travels further, expanding continually
But finds no solace to fill the void it irreverently leaves
Please, forgive me
