I write for truth to strike.
Strike my I to lay low.

I search to say my way.
I see my self float past.
I chase to stop and know.
I fail to catch and hold.
I choose old scripts to play.
I hear my past pinch tight.
I rub scars to heal cuts.
I want you to stop now.
I feel your blade hit me.
I writhe in pain to say.
I feel your voice cut deep.
I lose more light to care.
I want peace in its place.
I hear Will ask to stay.
I push Faith to take back.
I close in to cold sleep.
I drop low to gift pain.
I sink slow and go low.
I lie deep to feel right.
I curl up to reel hurt.
I bend ill will to air.
I cry for loss of light.
I stare at its full void.
I hold dark to be it.
I see it own no truth.
I purge to let it gush.
I tell Hope to let go.
I yell for it to stay.
I set it by my side.
I lie to lie so still.
I wait for me to be.
I say my bye to I.
I feel truth feel my lie.
I sleep deep to still time.
I lose love lost to life.
I stay to feel the end.
I just let go to stay.
... ... ... ... ... ...
I hear life be in me.
I find my self is here.
I stay dear to its beat.
I lose it quick to fear.
I ask my soul to stay.
I peer to see its view.
I claw to find my way.
I try to give to get.
I hear it say not yet.
I yearn for Will to tell.
I clutch it tight to move.
I ask souls to peel back.
I hear Faith stands by all.
I beg Hope to beg more.
I hear it stay so still.
I tweak each to turn me.
I tempt them to leave soon.
I swipe the fog long past.
I save dark as my friend.
I see my ghost give light.
I stretch to grasp it all.
I slow to feel love gift.
I shake fear hard to go.
I sway light to stay still.
I move dark to its side.
I find both come and go.
I sit next to my loss.
... ... ... ... ... ...
I let it all go now.
... ... ... ... ... ...
I lived a year to live.
I hold the old close dear.
I found it close my life.
I find it end me deep.
...             ...
I find it close my life.
I void the light to see.
I feel no air on me.
I step up but fall down.
I roll in to find new.
I see no true light shine.
I write just words to feel.
I hear words pain me deep.
I own my words to hold.
I see my words sell me.
I reel my brow in deep.
I blink one sad eye quick.
I shut one eye for good.
I clinch my chin close in.
I do no more to live.
I see no worth to give.
I close my self for good.
...    ...       ...            . . .
I gave too much to love.
I found it **** my good.
I felt it slice me deep.
I fell for the dark glare.
I kept cold to hold it.
I told it end me now.
I must not want the flow.
I must be stuck in no.
I fear year four shear me.

-- - -  . . -. .--....

I search old places to land.
I find no warm space known.
I hear it does not want.
I feel they say it now.
I lay low in dark voids.
I feel sad curse my light.
I seek a door to close.
I must move on and on.
... ... ... ...
I find a gift to give.
I give it to give love.
I stand next to my soul.
I feel I start to shift.
I may now find it all.
I feel it may fill hearts.
I read my end in mine.
I hold dear life's full gift.
I clutch to sense its grit.
I lean deep to feel whole.
I feel the warmth of truth.
I hear that you found you.
I slice and pack it down.
I feel love pain and all.
I grin to bring bright light.
I breathe slow in deep dreams.
. . . . . .
I write six words to stay.
. . . . . .
I write to find my way.
I write to know my truth.
I learn its shades of doubt.
I write six words to say.
I write to find a way.

How to be
when we see.
Each other.

How to be
when we feel.
Each other.

How to be
when we sense.
Each other.

We simply
breathe deep.
Our hearts weeping.

We simply
leave ourselves.
Our minds refrain.

We breathe deep.
Breathe as though
We can not keep.
We just breathe
Breathe as though.
We can not let go.
Just breathe each other in
to give the gift
of high regard.

How is it that you so easily peek into me.

How is it that you, oh, oh, so slowly ...

~Seek my attention with a gentle 'Please.'

~Stare sweetly opening doors to my privity.

~Throw smiles that touch me with fingertip ease.

~Tease my mind with scents to please my reality.

~Sip my poetic ink as if you know.

~Tap my lips and unleash my passion.

~Lean in clear to cross my shadow.

~Toss my steel echoes into oblivion.

~Drink my words to ******* aroma.

~Kindly peek into me, please.

~Peek gently past my persona.

~Peek outside of you to see into me.
Projection and shadows
are twins
who seek
to exist.

Wha?

I know the week can feel so long,
Days scuff along on heels worn.
It can be hard to stay aloft in the sky,
Winds cut seams into open hearts torn.
Leaves turn in as you twist up to ask why,
Why does the sun hide to let the cold ride strong.

Is your purpose lost behind today's clouds?
Is your heart stuck in yesterday's sun?
No need to pine for the past.
Seek life forward to make it last.

The sky never truly falls.
It wanders and weaves through us all.
It whispers truth and waits to be near.
Even as winds die and rains appear.
The sky is just a show of your clear hues.
It's time's clothing in its best blues.

Clutch Life
Catch the wind to breathe it's life.
Hold Dark
Its sun-drenched clouds seep light into our gentle smiles.
Lead Fear
Cold winds love to push us hard over those granite miles.
Tap Love.
In time, all heavy snows weep and melt in a slow sweet while.

Give life's nectar and stings its proper due.
Sip its droplets til your lips drip pure.
Taste it's extract of sweet smooth dew.
Bend green twigs to tweak your fate and go far.
Endure its barbs and cuts to age strong scars.
Share a bench aside your dark shadows to see your true stars.
Tease it's winds of silent noise to tweak your sundial.
Feel life's web of deep love soak and blanket you.

As you learn to fulfill your life.
Its rain, its shine, all its might.
Know your sun's core holds all.
On days of slow motion snow.
Those days you feel your gentle fall.
Melt down what you feel and know.
Sip the sweet light awaiting your whims.
Let its warm winds caress your heart's skin.
On odd off days dance light to raise your shine.
On old dead days open inward to touch your kind.
Reach deep to your warm glow beat inside.
As you pine for smiles gloating in the sky.
Let them simply float high astride.
Their smiles gift you love outside.
Inside you, deep and warm, is love's true high.
For my children, wishing you a father's love of warmth, strength and protection as you live and lean into your life fully forward.

The blurred road a head is foggy
ourselves still unknown.
We yearn to feel and fear
each other's past journey.

Ride with me through the night's cool dark air.
Straddling the bluff line road high above the coast.
We ride it with speed and a deliberate abandon of care.
Perched forward and fast, staying tuned to our future's unknown ghosts.

To fear and hold.
To feel and pain.
To brace then release.
To trust then move.
Then simply behold
all that is atoned.

Waiting.

Our fleeting moments in this bubble shimmer.

I see.

These subliminal and true moments we share.

Your voice.

I hear hints of your presence and scribble them dear.

Move light.

These words of our essence exists with me in here.

Flow bright.

Contained in a droplet that moves me near.
H J St Jul 2013
At that time,
of our early circling,
orbiting around our
newly formed space.

I sought to trust
a simple flow
again,
a signal,
tho distant,
to believe,
in shine,
in glow,
in a belief,
that we can restore,
by holding on.
and letting go.
