To let go
requires
a long walk
and unclenched fists

*So why does this path take me back to you?
Ian Cairns Dec 2012
becoming a believer
belittles those who
best belong beside
everyone

While you sleep,
I ponder:
Are you dreaming
or blind?

The snow falls simple
Like I did that one day
Remember?
We sat on your driveway
It was night time
But you were the Sun

You sat there motionless
But took my heart and made it bright
Like a burglar without a mask
And with my hand gripped tight
Led me to uncharted territory
Only now do I feel lost

Daylight approaches abruptly
So as you heave what's left of my heart in one hand
As you let go of mine in the other
I brace myself and watch the Sun rise
As we fall to the ground, so effortlessly
Becoming mere snowflakes on the ground

I wish I could forget
Pack my bags and leave my mind
Just for a little while
Maybe then I could find peace
Or anything but this
I need to be released
Get out of this trap
And piece myself together
Run free from such hopeless hopes
And decrease my stormy weather
Ian Cairns Dec 2012
Fortunate to be
   **A
part of such a
     Mandatory setting
         In which unparalleled
           Love and acceptance leave me
              Yearning for more

Powerful beyond reason
It is the method behind this madness
The guided push often forgotten
This strive for excellence

It is the method behind this madness
That keeps me going
For without it
The struggle would prevail

The guided push often forgotten
Is behind my every move
For without it
My perseverance becomes indecision

This strive for excellence
Comes from within
It is uncontrollable, yet
Powerful beyond reason
