for Your grace.

Once upon a time
   she had a secret
Once within her heart
   she swore she'd keep it

Once upon her time
just   o ne
          n ight
           c hanged
            e verything

This is the danger of love
   the catch of her beauty -
That secrets disappear
   when people see them

    and
       *Once before her time
                         he knew her secret.
for a dear friend
echo Aug 2013
all that i know with my mind
will fade
all that i see with my eyes
will grey
all that i feel with my hands
will change

only what i do from my heart
will remain

     ... ONLY LOVE.
only love
           *only Love.
echo Feb 2021
my friend,
when I'm with you
I remember who I am.

what is friendship
if not finding ourselves
together,

day after unsimple day,
untangling it all.

the only reason i sent you away
... just now
is that i haven't come to terms with
... *my own mistakes.
echo Jun 2013
i welcomed you in
    just to show you
the back door
              - please escape
            before i ask you
                    to
                        leave
we know it's
common courtesy
to fall
but common sense
would catch me
if i fell
     for you

To put it
bluntly:
We both
know

Pointless

Gossip Black as Poison on Your Breath
I Feel the Hate like Thorns into My Neck
Suffocation - Wrought by Shallow Scorn
          this Cold and Brittle Slate will Break
                          *You Both
echo Apr 2016
In your rhythmic ocean of warmth
You tug sweetly at the thousand threads
Of red and ochre, sunset blushes
A deep song through shallow veins
Tuning your fragile compass
By a beautifully
Miniature
Heart
One day you will love

Tumbling pirouettes of quiet unawares
To the melody of your mother’s laugh
As the gentle lullabied vines
Cradle your whispered breaths
You hold a perfect thumb
A flawless white shell
To pure pink
Lips
One day you will speak

Suspended in wondrous veil
A delicate radiance of blessing
Weaving light in golden promises
A dulcet requiem for your perfect world
You sing from your beautiful sphere
Scrunched in lovely darkness,
Precious child
Your little
Eyes
Will one day see

The beauty of life.
Dedicated to the unborn.
May we know your astounding worth and be brave in its truth.
echo Aug 2013
if you're sleeping
then dream sweet

if you're thinking
then think of me

if you're confused
*i think I know why...
I'm sorry
for being
the most confusing part
of your day
:/

echo Mar 2016
I think I loved you out of my life.
Out of existence.
The shadow stayed, though
(as a gentlemen should)
Comforting,
Yet wistful
all in the same breath.
I don't really know how
or why
or when you dissolved,
really.
But I found after you faded
*only half of you had left.

echo Jul 2013
a misery
is sort of like
a scar

you trace
it every so often
to see
if it is still
there

and when
it reassures you
that you have not
moved on

you are relieved
for that one
moment
you can
stay there
This is so depressing... :(
don't pay attention to it!
echo Jan 2015
Write to express,
my dear -
Not to impress.
don't be scared of either - never shy!
expressions and impressions,
life lessons and digressions
these your worded passions
all let fly!
echo Aug 2013
I said

Adieu

&
you thought
I sneezed

?

I wonder
if you
would have blessed me
so quickly
...
if you knew
that I meant

*Goodbye

Watering my heart again

But keeping it from you is hurting me

You're right here
So how can I
Still miss you?
ten word tuesday
echo Aug 2013
just today

      don't believe me
  
dare to doubt me
        
     ask for evidence

 for still there's only guilt

    in pleading

        "Innocent"
          

...
           I long to be
                 seen through

                                               ...
But have I made myself clear?

I shouldn't be able
to see myself
in the mirror

for the

LIGHT

You have placed

inside of me
City on a Hill
echo Jul 2013
Night- paces and restlessly stations
leaf'd sentries in the silhouette sky;

Black* - cossetting, scissored, jagged
tatoo'd trees lend watchful eyes;

Branches - whisper aches and pains
with sweeping hands of hurried lies;

Trust - exhumes her two-cent breath -
*"You promised not to compromise.."
Tonight the trees were
black
lace
curtains
that silhouetted the sky
the breeze
shuddered
and
whispered
to me:
"Take care of your promise ...my child"
echo Oct 2016
You'll add a poem-sonnet-haiku
But my darling it's just-like-you
To ignore all the rules
To dance in the jewels
And take syllables by surprise.
echo Aug 2015
don't take life too seriously
don't take life too
don't take life

Not sure when I'll ever know
Crystallise this moral snow
Show me forwards, upwards, rightness
Show my feet the path that's
Righteous
echo Jul 2013
where were you
~
when my watch
fading like a heartbeat
faintly breathing
on my wrist
surrendered
silver
hands
into
the
softed
air
~
you were here
with
me
Reminding my soul - God is at all times, near...
and He knows my inmost being,
to fill me with peace, surpassing my understanding
remember, Oh my soul...
remember...

He is here

:)
echo Aug 2013
the beauty of Spring
the flowers you bring

go out your door
and your eyes turn to love

you pick a flower
and give it to your love.

:} :P
My fantastic (and somewhat romantic) little brother wrote this poem!
Nine years old... its probs better than some of mine haha :)

echo Jun 2013
..
Tandem of light
Penchant to the rainbow
Bent through the prism
Of your eyes
..
I see you through the stained glass
of my emotion
Beautifully deceptive
Blindness
to any of your flaws
Lovely shadows
Tinted
Tainted
all that I see...
Is the man I want you to be
echo Aug 2015
it's all been said
and all been done
but
somehow
strength and silence
still

elude us.
echo Jun 2014
teach me the art of listening
and i will paint your silence
on my heart
echo Jun 2013
Yes- I feel like tearing my

Distracted brain

To pieces

And peaces

Will scatter

Like prisms of light

When it shines straight through
      
              *My Incapacity
                              to move

Singing every melody under the stars
We danced in moonlit valleys ~
Quiet symphonies hidden in swaying shadows
Oh! How the wind makes joyful harmony!

So I guess
I found you by accident
and forgot you
on purpose
and that's about it then. Toodles.
echo Jul 2013
...
  in the quiet of the
              evening
when my fingers feel
     the frost
my bed invites
      these tired eyes
   to tea
           with
   scones and dream

                             ...

pulling petals
off the moon

scrunching judgments
into the waste-bin

exchanged for
a beauteous collage

my floral planet
spins

with a sweeter
forgiveness

echo Jul 2016
The road will bend
the tide will turn
& all that's whispered

echo Jul 2013
..What can I do about it?
You could be a better person
What’s that supposed to mean?
You know exactly what I mean
Please spell it out for me
C H A R A C T E R
Okay, okay but how?
It starts when no one’s looking.
But - I can do it when everyone’s looking
*That is called a mask, my dear..
echo May 2016
Teach her not feminism
but femininity

for as she finds herself
only then,
rapt in purpose

she will know
what is worth fighting for
echo Jul 2013
the desires in my heart
are growing

with my imagination
colours pouring out

you tore away the limits
from my mind last night

when you encouraged me
to dream

for my life

and not just with
closed eyes
:)
