We shine
of fires unseen
the soul of the moon
burns within
reflecting hope
bright enough
to eclipse all darkness

It is a hard road
to wisdom
experience
is a brutal teacher
but we live
and we learn
emerge stronger
than we ever thought
we could be

The world seems so loud, and all my dreams seem to be looking down on me from thought bubbles, unattainable clouds. Yet I still dream aloud. Praying that God hear me somehow, looks down and sees these fields I plow, and know that im ready for the harvest.

Wings of light
lay idle beneath surface sky
grey days
your memory haunts me
an itch I cannot scratch

I am sleeping
on the wrong side of midnight
where the stars slumber
beneath a blanket
of cold darkness

The quiet is so loud
I miss the sound
the bray of your heart
the comfort of your love
*I miss you

Heavenly hands
are often hell bent
on breaking beautiful things;
humans are gifted to build
and cursed to destroy.

I am a delicate lover
developed in character
a cautionary tale.
I bear the scars,
the wear and tear
from neglect over the years;
the ignorance of the warning label
"handle with care."

I need you to promise
to be careful with me,
a protective shell,
because my heart is
a butterfly wing,
my soul, soft as rain;
I am terribly fragile,
sensitive to holding.

Flying upside down,
head over heels,
hopelessly falling for you;
at risk of being broken.

Don't let me hit the ground.

I watch the sun die
the day fade to blackest night
knowing the only light
Ill ever need to breathe
exists in you

You are air
and I the lungs
incapable of breathing without you
It is you who fills my empty
with something worth living for
dying for

my center-peace
your soul is
the sole flame
that burns bright within me
my reason for existing

You are my tree of life
my chalise filled
with poison
my beginning and end
My eternal

an everlasting love
bracelet over my heart
I intend to cherish
the bridge we've become
a shaping of two into one
never take you for granted

The corset of night loosens
exposing the flesh of light
Silver bells dangle from the sky
winter tidings
Dreams uplifting the soul

Dark skies
Lull the stars to bloom
A waterfall
Upon fallow ground
Like shimmering rain

One by one
I shoot them down
Gather them
Like seashells
Hear your voice echo

In every one
Clasp the sound
In my lungs
I breathe you
A rhapsody of life

Each breath reflecting
Each beat of my heart
I pull them closer
Like dreams in the mind
Internalize your soul

And burn with love
A yearn to be the only sky
That holds you
The only earth
To embrace your flame
Your Home
