There's no other path
that this gravity will take

Supplanting
my air, my breath
as every sense drowns
within a distorted atmosphere

The walls
rise on and up
As I feel this weight
wiring to my mind

Fuses so short
I never notice the sparks
until the last one pinches
and scatters the emotions within
my now-broken shell.
Anne Jul 2014
Warmth to the heart,

Touching the soul.



The smell of ash,

Like the days of old.



Waiting for a spark,

A love that will ignite.



Where I will feel alive,

To
the

With love,

As the fuel.



Let it be alive,

Like a fire

When I first yearned for the love returned.

My oceans froze over
All my skies grew dark
But Your life sparked a fire
And Your hope warmed my heart.

I love meeting with my childhood friends
because in their eyes I could see
the reflection of the child I once was
I could find the little spark I once had
And I lost it through the stormy times

And childhood friends, they are the best dream keepers

When I meet with them I see the dreams I then had
And I feel so happy to have entrusted them with this task
Because child’s dreams should never be lost

And we adults, we are constantly losing dreams
together with our keys, our phones,
our passwords and our identity

I love meeting with my childhood friends
They bring me back on my feet with just a smile
It seems as though they know
some secret passage to my happy face

And it’s not easy to have this task
Because we constantly change
Every year, every month, every week,
Every day, every hour, every minute
Every second and every moment
But childhood friends, they know best
how to keep your dreams safe
They know when to give your spark back

Dreams can change, they evolve, but the spark
for letting your dreams lead your life
She is safe in your friends eyes
And the moment you need her she just appears
Right there across the table while drinking a coffee

And the spark is all you need to follow a dream
Because dreams, they should never be lost

You are a beauty that echoes in my eyes
Sparks dance along your corners and curves
Your smile pulls at the edge of my mouth every time
I’d like your shirt crumpled on my bedroom floor.
Because when it comes down to it darling
I need your fingers to make love with mine
Kiss me like the air from my lungs is ambrosia
Hold me like we could meld desire in our sighs
You are in the curl of my toes and the arch of my back
My half lidded eyes and weakened knees
The gentle spark in the nerves down my spine
The flush down my chest and the flare in my cheeks
Your molecules form constellations behind my eyes
Your imperfections fit my missing parts like peace
I will murmur you so wickedly high
Because you’re beautiful when loving me.
Sins and Graces (1/7)

Not my usual style/topic (which makes me really nervous agh) but my friends have been wonderfully reassuring about this one so...here you go! If I've f'd up the Greek, please yell at me/give me the correct translation! Next in the series should be out in a bit, so long as I don't procrastinate too much.
I hope words ignite
A flame that inspires you to
Write your hearts content

There's this light in me
I felt it's beam and rays
I let it scattered through
The darkness of this place
With hopes and dreams that black
Could turn into pure white
Like storm and thunder that
Can be quiet for a while
They say that flicker of light
Could be that burning flame
When wind blows into it
The fire won't be the same
I want to keep this light
This fire within my heart
And only you could help me
To keep this flame alive
You gave your words of promise
A pledge I won't forget
But there inside my room
That fear is on my sheet
And somehow the light could turn
Back into flicker, so sad
The spark will end into ashes
When good change into bad
So please help me keep this
The flicker that once you made
Let's keep this light of us
Don't let this color fade
