where I may ask
how in Basque
she's set the sun
with her masque
then shore her browse
as my owl does casque
Amanda Kay Burke Jan 2018
Miles are only miles,
A unit of measurement,
Miles don't stop the way I feel.
Miles don't stop you from invading my thoughts.
Miles can't stop my love.
Distance is challenging,
When I can't see your face,
And miles seem longer,
Without your embrace,
But hearing your voice makes me smile,
And I can imagine,
I am in your arms.
And minutes seem long,
When I am alone,
You are not beside me,
But in my thoughts,
Your face is there,
Pulling me closer,
Away from despair,
Love will beat the odds,
Love will conquer all.
Because if it's true,
Love will withstand the miles,  between me and you.
This is a super old one i stumbled upon. I think my free verse leaves much to be desired but I want to eventually post everything I have from the years ive been writing.

Each night before bedtime,
Just like the artist on his poorest, in the dark
I am creating Characters
To get away and travel
Without leaving bed.
It’s my endowment
And my curse
As I go miles far
But always end up next to you
I am an artist
We gave the night a fling and spoke without words letting only are emotions and passions do as they pleased .

I don't care to know you beyond this night she said and that suited me just fine.

We spared no secret and loved a moment for what it was .
Inside we find solace in warm bodies and cold souls.

Only the night breathes passion and the ocean creeps across the sound.
Salt we taste of spent passions does the moment breathe as heavy as I ?

You are far better than the page .
And far less than anything that soothes a bitter heart and nothing more .

She was that which could consume most but could never truly grasp a devilish truth of a wicked reprise that was me.

No closed eyes for some things need to be seen.
Was it something more .

Tell yourself so if it feeds your ego.

But it was something .
Enough said.

Farewell sweetheart.

I may never be good.
But I'm always a good time.

Cheers .

Next time when you meet me in the roughest of times
Do not forget to remind me about our tough mountain climbs
Remind me to not to think about darkness, but simply shine
To light all the way up and finally meet the Divine
It is not what you be, but, who you were
As there are no feathers without the fur
Touch the souls and spread the smiles
And this way, you can truly reach miles

Because underneath this thick armor
That I put on as skin
I'm nothing but starved bones
And a broken heart
Empty
for miles
And miles
And miles
Within
I found out Rebel Heart has a "lyric wall" and I read this particular snippet and realized I heard this original song of hers. Makes me wonder how many other original masterpieces she's been hiding. You can expect many more 'sneak peeks' of the lyrical poetry from this infamous wall though. I only wish I could hear the songs along with them ~BM

The empress of the lighthouse
can see for years and nautical miles
and she can never be lost at sea.

The empress of the lighthouse
could save every sailor who smiles,
but she doesn't.

The empress of the lighthouse
is empress only of a house
when she leaves the light off.

The empress of the lighthouse
got tired of waiting for ships to come in,
so she doused the light in her seafront tower.

Now everyone she loves
and everyone who loves her
*will forever be lost at sea.

As eyes turn skyward      and the lone wolf howls,
paw prints in the snow     pause amongst the pines.
18:30 - 13/07/17

State of mind: calm; rested.
Perspective: natural; philosophical.

Thoughts: from thinking - about rest and recovery. The soul sings best when it is well rested.

Unseen and deep within the dormant volcano, there is lava flowing.

Questions: none.

Too many miles lay between
me and my favorite people
Too many numbers
that cause emotional
early morning conversations
But in the end we know
that these numbers are only numbers
And one day these numbers will go down
and we will be together
Because numbers can't destroy
a connection so strong
I want to meet my online friends so bad.

salty air,
not by the sea.

inches like miles,
and choked back tears.
