Like Winter's sky
draws close in breath
the warmth of sunrise

I will draw you near
shelter you in my heart
from all that is cruel

In this God forsaken world
where unholy hands seek
to grasp your rain

I will not let them
break the fragile beauty
of your soul

I wonder
if in the night
you search for me
like misplaced car keys
frantic to find me once more

of a broken heart
like a piano out of tune
melancholy
the off key sound
of me without you

Crisp air
and moonlight
alone
I listen to the wolf's cry
wonder if I
still turn the windmills
of your mind
as much as you do mine

failure must not be
left to nest, poisoning the
berry of success

inside the heart's cell
forged fire of forgiveness
melts ice into tears

Half moon
we are not together
but I wonder
if your are as torn
up about it as I am

Without me
are you more like me
suffering
with desire to be
what we were?

Missing
what we had
chained
to memory
or are you free?

Unafraid
You peel out of your skin
Bare your soul to me
And I cry tears of love
for nothing is more sacred
or more beautiful

Lilies sway
in scent of rain
petal for
each tear of pain
as the eye of honey
drips a stain
warmth to smear
upon a window pane

The way the wind
       still clings to the leaves
             long after they've fallen

love is eternal
enduring all things

Out pouring
of velvet warmth
raining violet
the cloud of heart
bursting with joy
overflowing with love
You make me float
Happy

looking up at the full moon
with a heart full of blue skies
a mind full of you
missing those honeycomb eyes
your hand in mine

She tucked
his worry in her lips
a forehead kiss
he sighed, feeling his burden lighten
carried away in her smile

Sun rays
coming out to play
but I am stuck here
in this deserted place
where the clouds never slumber
it only rains
keeping the light at bay

But...
I am not void of hope
a seedling
I will one day outgrow
this dark cocoon
and you will see me fly
into the glorious light

the sun rays
are coming out to play
me too

swimming through stars
I decide to take the high road
forgive and let go

lone walk home
the moon a shade of blue
I miss you

I love so hard
yet so soft
a rising crescendo
a subtle speed of sound
like raindrops
falling to the ground
I love you
with intent to consume
every inch of you

Love that was blind
was a feathered lie
A delusion that felt kind
lingering in the mind
it spoke so gentle & sweet
I almost believed it
true

I like the dark
when you are here
there are no monsters
I can rest
in the firelight
of eyes that never tire
of burning for me
seeing me for me
I can drown
in the sound
of the silence
that speaks
in heartbeats
and gentle sighs
a sincere love
The yearning
to be found
is lost in the arms
of home
And all I know
and all I feel
assures me
with you
is where I belong
