watching
from not quite the shadow
but the phase of light
just inside the rings
radiating out from the candle
here I can see the others
watching
if I time it perfectly
in that phase of light
just inside the rings
they
      cannot
                 see
                        me
                             watching

@journeyofdays

to feel more than know
that as I swim
through dark waters
you are there
with me
just beyond the darker deep
keeping watch
holding me
safe

@journeyofdays

sorry
falls easily from your lips
while the rest of you
says
but
           get back to me
                                when you have yourself sorted

@journeyofdays

it is just us
always has been
even before names
were whispered into being


@journeyofdays

rain stars before footfall
grow lightening in proximity
beat thundering hearts
and love as gods

@journeyofdays

started down this path
will you be there at end

@journeyofdays

faeries are beautiful
but wicked creatures
their craft and skill
beguiles and deceives
much like your hand and tongue
well practiced with lies
wrapped in the finest silk and embroidered with gold thread
ethereal in this  poorly lit world
where identity is fluid
and man bargains for his soul
trading it for winged creatures
that offer nothing but sparkling dust
and an immortal hangover
we have lost the plot
sold it to the highest bidder
and gambled our souls
in a land of faeries
