cgembry
The fast tempo of hummingbirds in flower buds
Loud repetition of woodpecker thuds

Buzzing hum from hardworking bees
While robins sing in synchronized keys
All accompanied by the swishing of leaves in the trees

There is no better symphony
Than that of nature working in harmony

When inspiration knocks
Be quick to let it in
Offer it your heart
And it will offer you a pen

I thought the world would break me
Stormy trials did abound
Sorrows drowned my heart
No comfort could be found

When I thought the world had broke me
You stretched out your hand
Guiding me through troubled waters
To peaceful steady land

The parking lot
Is empty
The ballroom is a mess
There’s an untouched
Cake next to
An unworn dress
Today should have
Dawned a perfect new start
Now the champagne is nursing
A broken heart

*Even though I do my best,
you are always right here
by my side gently caressing
my thoughts with wonder,
bringing desires to my mind
in poetic whispers cast upon
the continuous ripples rapidly forming
with every breath I take

Mornings still bring the sunrise
in multicolored shades of how I feel,
reaching for that lost love,
silently floating like indigo dreams
just beyond my grasp
I still want, with every ounce,
every movement, every hope

I am still being told
I long for what I can not have,
that elusive bloom at the peak of the arbor,
honeysuckle beauty washing down upon me,
fragrant reminders of a time before
when your petals gathered at my heart
in a bouquet of nectar scented affection

And try as I like it is of no use,
my mind holds you, desperately dreaming
in echoed wishes and twilight longings
which never seem to end, for I know,
as long as there are sunrises,
honeysuckle breezes and poetry -
there will be you

Seafoam dreams

*A midnight wave of shimmered light
caresses soft this slumbered shore
Of moonbeam whispers on the night
in ocean scenes and moments pure

To find upon this beach we lie
our glistened skin in stardust gleam
Beneath a diamond dusted sky
alone amidst a seafoam dream

When you're gone I dont wander.
When youre gone i dont roam.
When you're gone I just wonder.
When will you come back home?

I know theres other people.
Other ways to have fun.
But all the world is evil.
Except you. The only one.

So here i sit in my room.
Doors lock, every light on.
Just gazing out my window.
Til you walk across my lawn.

I'll wait another minute.
I'll wait another year.
Girl for you i mean it.
I'll never leave from here.

One night when I have grown old
In bed, wife at my side.
You will show up at my door.
You say you will be mine.

My world will then have color.
And i wont feel so blue.
With you again as my lover.
Love i will wait for you.

I'll wait another minute.
I'll wait another year.
Yes for you i mean it.
I'll never leave from here.

im a rolling pebble
kicked down  
the road's shoulder

the hurt
is alive
and my eyes
are opening

there is no such thing
as home anymore
i know
that much
