My friends always ask me why I chase the wind

It's because every time I see you

I have to catch my breath
Tony Oquendo Jan 2018
I see the moonlight in your eyes radiant yet serene.
Your wisps of hair a midnight sky flowing like a dream.
Your skin aglow a thousand stars shimmering in the night.
I hold you in my eyes that I may never lose this sight.
Tony Oquendo Jan 2018
I wait until it's quiet
and you think your all alone
Reading, writing, drawing
or just talking on the phone

I sneak around so silent
you've no idea I'm there
until I pounce before you
as you jump out of your chair

You're mad and start to chase me
You think I run away
But the game is just beginning
I chose YOU to come and play

I hide under the couch
your looking in the room
I go under the table
you'll probably give up soon

I crouch as I get closer
you wonder where I've been
then I pounce right there before you
and the chase is on again!

Dancing in the moonlit sky,  a silent melody
The snow begins to fill the night, falling gracefully
They spin and dance under the stars carried by the wind
As winter's song fills their hearts they dance and laugh and sing

A softly spoken whisper
like tender falling snow
I paint for you this picture
that my heart you come to know
Tony Oquendo Jan 2018
The shadows paint my soul inside
and leave this trail for you to see
the darkest story where heroes die
and mortal souls beg to be free
I dance in dreams of joy and mourning
black tears without a care
and live out this dream set before me
midnight whispers in the air
Tony Oquendo Jan 2018
I want to be the snow where you make angels and the powder where you fall

The leaves that catch your eye changing colors in the fall

The sounds that lift your spirit singing softly in the spring

The warm summers sun and the happiness within
Tony Oquendo Nov 2015
Is it all really that simple
Is it just black and white
and if it is which is wrong and which is right
Did I mean nothing that you could just leave me alone
a dimming star in the still of the night
Did I shine once upon a time
Was I ever the bright reflection in your eyes
Was I ever more than fading thoughts and passing goodbyes
