You’ve set fire to the wilderness of my soul as I sit & laugh at the flames that stretch into the heavens ...

He saw her face for the briefest
Of Fall afternoons
Winking at her as he left
She saw him coming at dawns
But would leave before he’d rise
Shy
Could feel him burning all over
Her
‘I’ll make the flowers bloom just for her...’ said Sun
‘I’ll make the oceans rage just
for him...’ said Moon
And he waited the most
In Summer
And she was the brightest
In Winter
Everyday
Everynight
you see them
Sun
Moon
They long to be united
Long to be with each other
But every morning
Every sunset
They catch a glimpse
To say
‘Good morning...
&
‘Good night ...
‘My love....

Seconds tick away time
Time away from you
I
See you in the corners of my
Eyes
Waiting for me
In my time away from you

Isn’t easy
For me
Waking from dreams of you
Even there you walk away
‘I want to tell you everything...’
‘Stop...’
And I walk along the sand
Hand in hand
With nobody
Just like the lost...

My angel with the blackened
Owl feathers
Standing guard over my
Dreams
Open them
For me

50 years from now...
Long after the chocolates have been trashed...
Long after the cards have been ripped in two...
Long after the forgotten sentiments attached, roses have withered...
Long after I have gone...

Of the words written just for you
The gift that stayed...
My Flowers That Never Died
