I relent quietly
Beneath the stars
Where I was told
Not to fear the world

That the world is a series of moving things
Just going about
Meaning no harm to me
It was beneath the stars
Where I stopped fearing the dark

The sad days
That I relive
The old songs
I cry to sing

The feel of rain
On the wind
The summer nights
Those
Storms often rend

The sound of thunder
An open window brings
The trembling of the earth
When lightning rings

The odor of freshly disturbed earth
beneath my finger tips
The spring of grass beneath my feet
Its warmth
Absorbed from the sun above

The softly glowing darkness
From the fully lit moon
Seemingly like magic
To the dreamer
Secretly roaming the night

If
I could immerse my being
Into each sensation
All the things I long to be
To feel
And breathe
Once again
The wonders that have created me
I believe I would be stronger

Hollow wind against us  
I move to you

~I give you my lungs
                  for you to breathe~

~I give you my heart
            for  your blood to heat~

~I give you all of me~

To see me
Please see me
Feel my breath
Remember it

Touch me
As if I were real
To your eyes
To your heart

Do not forget
Me at all
For death comes
It travels closer
with every passing
Of the hour

To be forgotten
Is to not exist
I would rather be a thought
Then dust on the fiercest wind

Rather to be a whisper
Then lost forever
to soil of the earth
To be ink on paper
Word on tongue
Tear upon cheek

Remember me
Please
Feel these words
As a lovers touch
Upon your hair

A wisp
A promise to be there
All I ask
Of you my love
Is to just remember me

I do not fear
The ceasing of my breath
The halting of the heart
Nor the fading of my face
In your memories

I fear to fade completely
From this place that bore me
From the hearts that love me

I need you to understand
I do not want for you to cling
Or dream of me completely

Just let me live
Behind your mind
Just beyond your fondest memories
So that you may think of me
When the warmth of sun
Blesses your cheek

All I ask
Is to be the happiness
Behind the smiles
The laughter in your dreams

Remember me
Please

i have left you

Your childish devices of a long ago yesterday
Have gone too

i have faded a thousand times
Along with the light that died in your veins
i am the wind
Something you cannot keep

i Am
The warm sand upon the darkened beach
A shadow
A stain
Of what once was
And will be again

i Am
The whisper in the glade
The sigh
That rises as waters flow

Flighty laughter
The quickened pace of the most passionate heart
The sudden heat of desire stoked

Never forever behind
Nor too long ahead

i Am.

I let it fly
the being that has grown beneath my *******
the sweetest dream
I have fostered

I released the words
the fondness
I have held to
many a night

I gave to you
my warmth in words
my letter ridden heart

With silence the only reply
I have never felt more complete
than
with the relief of letting go
