Rai Dec 2013
In the earliest hours of tomorrow
I came to steal the hour before dawn
To rejoice in the holy sanctity of silence
In reality all is part of all

The wind is howling
Rain lashing down
Upon pain of glass
So fragile in existence
And yet protecting
Much like a skin
Protects a master

Silken threads of remembrance
They held you this time
Like never before
They have lost
The will to journey forward
Now they can not look upon you in body
I hope your spirit flies
Between the absences they feel

Poets speak
Painters paint
The greatest of artists
Stroke their brushes across the sky
In union with the sun
And lower themselves
Feet in soil
Hearts wide open
Pain glittering like a golden thread
Hold memories within this moment
For the memories are pure

Hold onto the place
In the silence
We see more
And yet
Do we ever really get to understand

Watching boats go by
Sailing on
Catching butterflies
Only to let them go
beckoning for freedom
We allow them an escape
In spirit we are the same
And in spirit you will fly
like never before

Perfect soul
flying free
Stormy night
In silence and in rain
I sit thinking
In thinking I sit in silence
Rai Dec 2013
Muse
Mine Muse
You have been gone such a long while
What beckons you forth this night
Of all nights?

Whisper beauty
Speak the truth
Lies just hide
Your miss spent youth


Muse
Awhile
Walk by my side
So long you've hidden
From mine eyes

I feel you here
I almost can touch your breath
A coldness
A warmth
A renewal of faith


Muse
Just walk in silent reflection
Upon mine life
I have no direction

Have a little faith
I never left your side
From your soul
you were surely trying to hide


Winter wonderland
Barren
Forlorn
I lift my head
I feel your warmth

Take my words
And heed them well
Lest you fall under
Your own spell


Listen for me
In the midnight hour
In the silence of the night
Within your golden tower
Listen for me
As the crisp snow cracks
Or the water beckons
Or the sun plays on your back
Never to be gone
Just quiet for a while
Because life needed you to live
your reality
Before allowing you to smile


**I will always come back to you, as you will always come back to listen eventually
Rai Oct 2013
Tranquil moments alone with the silence
Escaping from the noise
Which seems to be constantly buzzing around my head
A  sign
Obscure in meaning
And yet needing to be placed where the multitude can take heed
See me coming and hide for cover if you wish
Silence echo's like a distant drum beat
Where you find your peace you will also feel your soul
Breathing
Silently without a murmur
Breathing in time with it all
Breathing
Your way home
To the silence within
Rai Sep 2013
Fevered brow
Hollowed hearts
Playing cards
Breaking parts
Holding back
Splintered thrones
Singled out
All alone
Throwing stones  
Feeling life
Holding tight
Razor sharp
The dead of night
Feeling sleepy
Time
To leave
Write my heart strings
upon your sleeve
Crimson lips
Your desire
Watch this space
See my fire
Rai Sep 2013
My tears flow back to the sea
Whilst my soul aches
and my hands shake
across keys which make words
into more than just a moments thought
Keep me safe here
Hold me tight
Because I thought I was safe
My heart hurts and I want someone to hold me close
Just for a moment
disguises  are falling apart
I will no longer lie to myself
I stretch my love across time and distance
I held on too tight
To something I had already turned to dust
The horizon is screaming me forward
Please release me
Please let me go now
For what more am I doing
Being untrue to myself
I loved you
But I never gave my all
Because I wanted to hold on to my senses
I held you
But in the back of my mind
I didn't let go long enough
To trust you
We never saved each other
We never shared our tears
Our fears
You never really knew me
Denial is such a suffocating condition
In this moment I realize
There's no one who needs to let go here
But myself* ....
Rai Aug 2013
Briefly I catch a glimpse of your reality
The ripples of your self confessed desire
Shimmer on in my thoughts
Heaven only knows
Where your angels lie sleeping
Whilst your demons never seem to rest
A moment
Is all that is taken
A tear
For a worthy apponent
Who fell short
And who couldn't find the strength
Or will to carry on
Holding against my breast
The picture I took
You were laughing at some obscure
Remark made about life in general
Your outlook blinded by the ripples of circumstance
I loved you then
As I love you now
Yet I have lost that hollow emptiness
That threatened to swollow me whole
Peaceful summer evenings
Drinking rose
Remonising on lifes finer qualities
Under willow trees
That no longer weep your name
Seem to hold the dreams of lovers yet met,
Poems yet written and days not yet spent
Life is only good when we believe
So believe my friend
In dreams
In hope
In beautiful horizons laid bare
I will see you there maybe
In futures warm embrace
Amongst words
Within dreams
The essence of life holds me
Lifting me higher so that I May see reality
As never I saw it before
Rai Jul 2013
To savour an essence so sweetly laid bare
To hold for a second the dream lost
Sadness flows freely from glass eyes
As hearts break
And the world looses the bravist of heros
Warriar of time and place
It is time to travel to worlds new
Body broken
Spirit intact
Love left to lye in hearts so golden and true
Will never fade upon this earth
It was a pleasure
To have broken bread
And laughed a little in your smile
Farewell
Au revoir
Stretch your wings
Peace be with you
