#falter
He chased after with slight desperation,
But getting away was my motivation.
He has always been faster,
So soon I became the latter.
A hand wrapped around a wrist,
A light hold I couldn't resist.
Imploring me to listen, they insist.
The adornment of devoted words wouldn't desist.
The words of love burned my heart so;
A small crack in resolution with each syllable bestowed.
For I knew fully well,
What his heart had to compel.
But for some difficult reason,
My mind committed treason.

Vowels fall away:
in my ears the reveries --
come in faltering.

We may falter we may fall,
But if one of us is able to rise
from the ashes
then others didn't fall at all.
For they live in me and I'm vengeance
watch them all falter.
They will evaporate like rain,
soaking the earth as they fall.
We may have faltered,
but you fell before
you thought i'd have fallen but I
like the fallen, we all stand tall...

When the tall falter,
Then those
Who were beneath
Can show that
Even below.
They were always
Beneath view.
Standing tall beneath shadows,
They shone bright.

like two banks of the same river
sharing a stream
but never meeting
like two heads on the same pillow
sharing a dream
but always sleeping
like two heads of the same coin
when one shows face
the other will hide
like two beats of the same drum
one heart out of place
one hardened inside
like thoughts on the tip of the tongue
a predictable sentence
never put in to words
like lines on a ******* tightrope
this addictive tension
will never get cut
a spark in the darkness
forming filaments of fire
a centennial light of
ever burning desire

Needles seeking north with
cursed magnets in the way.
Some call it stupid;
But I say brave
And wish that I was one.
Reluctantly
The driver stops
To watch me leave his whirring chair.
I nod and say goodbye.
Sparkles fill the air
Where fly the remnants of my broken dreams,
Shattered by the hardness of my cold and quaking heart.
And then he drives away.
I'm faltering
Just on the edge
Leaning out above the flow
Of time and space and whispers in the dark.
Happy is the man whose heart is one
Whose heart is won.
And I?
I'll be okay.
In time.
The driver will come back to me
and find a wholly different flower
In the pocket of my coat.
He'll smile when he sees me
Like he always does.
Feathers aren't weightless,
but they sure help you fly.
Heartache, too, gives wings to
your sigh.
Someday, I'll build a new boat.
Someday, I'll try.
Someday, I'll laugh and it won't be a lie
But now? Who am I kidding, really.

I once descried chained feathers in the sky;
they swim from the swift breeze, so high.
Wings do falter, yet one still went by.
Ensnared on a garden; I yearn to fly.

Far from arms length, further in terms of time.
Restless nights multiply effortlessly.
Hope lingering past beyond points of doubt.
Chances abused, but an abundance equal to the piece's of my heart.
Determination upon a questionable creature.
But rather face this storm then regret it all.
I falter in pursuit, more so at night.

Shoulder blades collapse;
Burdens seemingly falter.
Let the hours beware.

Things would get better
A thought i've insisted on my hoping heart
Love would bring us closer
Wishing nothing would tear us apart
Our spirits will not falter
Its been a struggle for us two.
Have I been the only one fighting
Am I losing little by little with no clue.
Girl tell me.. what you really feel?
I'd fight if you let me
I'll leave if you want to.
I'd stay if you tell me
I'd take the all the chances for you
