i like to write in metaphors
but you're the one
i can't grasp
i just can't seem to find anything good enough to compare to you
my words fail me
and it occurs to me that all that is left
are my emotions swimming inside
I have held
softly pulsing
newborn heartbeat fluttering
breath of love, dying
arc of a life, trying
not to cling
too tightly
to anything

I have touched
directly to my tongue
felt the jolt
spark my lips
so pure
crystallized
I became
undone

I have fought
with abundant faith
despite knowing
the human continuum
feckless tide
love or hate
maybe it really is
up to fate

I have radiated
divine conductor
electric soul
it flows in me
it flows in you
we are all
pure energy
clean-burning fuel
Beyond the seas, on a faraway isle,
A maid is waiting, true without guile,

Her faith, stands of stones and trees,
A winsome heart as lone capercaillie,

With a look she prays into the wind,
Longing where true love only begins,

Butterflies flutter with a heart racing,
A diary is kept under ravens tracing,

The elm and oaks are alms she stirs,
Splints and potions are makes of her,

How much time is passing of redress,
To maid of the glens, all forgetfulness,

She breaks and cries, pleads to a sun,
Calling like an angel, into the heavens,

New days come with a cold shudder,
Lost days run in trains, out to another,

She braces in corners for O solidarity,
Wee birds singing with hopes in fealty.

An wonders awake, dreams each morn,
When will love ringing come into dawn?
Capercaillie,
Scottish term for a showy kind of grouse.
