Falling in love with the night,
How I miss her so,
When she goes,
While she's gone.
I love you dear, more than you know.

at season's ending
thank the sage man who inspires
not once; forever.

Growing

The day I stop growing
Will surely be the day I die,
For otherwise I'll have not lived
A life worth all this time.

Seeing It
aj heatherly Aug 2014
It's spinning,
Faster, I'll try to keep pace.
I'm falling,
Faster now, within this space.
I'm hiding now,
I will hide from what I know,
And the world stops
I hope, or at least it slows.
Some times, the world just moves too fast. So much beauty, but so much pain...... Loves the only way through I think.....That, and ignorance.

The Eyes Lie
aj heatherly Mar 2014
My eyes lie to me
So I grasp and cling and feel-
In fear of falling into the sea;
In hopes of finding what is real.

its a matter of time,
but you can't stay here
who do you wanna be
what do you have to fear

is this reality
only mine to wear
shedding light is a crime
shed a tear, i cant bear

and when time, is running out
well who will you will me to be?

do you remember the night
back when we first met.
fires turned to hot ash
then firefly silhouettes

used the car, burned our cash
glowing sand, naked feet
silent howls; moonlight
then my heart skipped a beat

but when time, was running out
were you the one here to see me?

bones of a body
are not meant to stand strong like
long spanning bridges

here is one possibility -
the adoration is rooted
in your fresh quality.
i've never met any one
quite like you before.
that novelty is inspired,
held internally; hopeful.
