Those who wish
to be madly in love
rarely ever have been
or they would understand
that it is a raging fire
few can hover over
for very long.

I have seen the stars dance in the shadows.
I saw the world outside my window.

Screaming faces-
Telling time with countless voices.

Ticking clocks-
Counting the skipping of the rocks.

Brushing slacks.
Footsteps jumping the cracks.

Distance watching the sunset-
Remembering the first time they met.

The painter looking out to life;
Ready to embrace it as his wife.

Raindrops stuck in memory-
Of the children's agony.

White skies-
Baptizing the sinner's tie.

History holding creation's stories-
Telling future glories.

Courage finding the opportunity-
To fight insecurity
With His purity.

Sunday shoes-
Taping to the rhythm of Blues.

Heaven singing from above-
Waiting for its truelove.

How do we see life in our minds?
How do we wait for the counting of clocks?
How do we measure the depth of our walk?
How do we climb the mountain of time?

If only tears could
wash away
our sadness
and love could
fill the emptiness
in our broken hearts.

My tight pressed lips,
against Your tangent hips.
Our hands yield
to the symphony of surrender.
Lay your defences down,
Let our hearts pour out.
Scantitly clad souls,
Semi naked hearts,
Ever so vulnerable.

There are things
far more important
than ourselves.
There are things
that we love too much.
that it hurts.
even to let go.
In our midst,
it is each other.

''May I have the final dance under
this perishable moonlight ?''

Every time I run
into your everlastinng arms,
it feels like I'm running
Home.

As your weary frame shudders,
as your bones quiver
at the resounding echo
of the wailing wind blowing
your spirits with the leaves of
an unforgotten winter,
encompassing
the familiar loneliness that
outshines bliss.

And when the days are
overshadowed by your fears
and the shoals of the ocean waves
crushes your soul against
the condescending
cluster of rocks
cloaked with
your hopes
and your dreams.

I will carve my heart out
for you.
I will build a home in
it's place,
to protect you.
And set myself on fire
to keep you warm.
I'll stitch a happy smile
on my face even when
you & I are drenched
in our tears.
