Wind & rain
I want to whisk you away
Kiss my love into your veins
Leave no part of you
Untouched

We appear so high
when we feel so low

A dream buried
in the well of the soul

shifting reality

Though it has yet to prevail
We still believe

knowing someday it will

tops of trees
reaching for the moon
between your eyes
where your soul shines
is where I breathe

I will listen
as if I am the stars
& your voice is the wind

I'll hold you
as if you are the night
& my arms are the sky

Because I love you

Be careful with me
For I am soft as rain
sensitive to holding
especially when held
by human hands
hell bent on breaking
beautiful things

one small voice
a whisper in the crowd
one teardrop
in a bucket full of doubt
had a ripple effect
the echo rang loud
like church bells
or 4th of July firecrackers
and like smoke rising
I heard it clear
as the silver moon
in pitch black
at midnight
I saw the twinkle in your eye
as your gaze met mine
and realized
this is fate
we gotta skate
before the ice breaks
and we fall straight
into a pool of second thoughts
this first impression
is everything
This moment is ours
Let us take it
Embrace it with open arms
Take a deep breath
And follow this dream
for love is ours
for as long as
we dare to believe

Autumn rain
the leaves slowly fold
into forgotten dreams
a river of
colorful streams
all around
the air translucent with
auburn memories
of Summer nights
bright in warmth
the fire of our hearts
arrogant in love
we thought enough
to keep the chill of Winter
at bay

But sure
as we were
we couldnt be more wrong
We could not weather
wind nor rain
At least not together
So we parted ways
the other left standing
under an umbrella of pain
empty promises made
left unfufilled
only the leaves
to whisper our will
to someday meet in the middle

try our hand
at love again
this time surviving
in the end
