Sand between my toes
a breeze
... inhaled memories
almost forgotten ...

I kneel down
and pray
for your memory
to always stay

To look at a soul
and not seek
the face
of beauty

To look at a soul
and not need anything more than it offers
too many are judged, in such cruel,
unfair disgust

Look at the beauty of scars
pain, hurt
loneliness
... despair

If you seek beauty
you will never
truly see
the beauty of a soul

I have been in love
many times before
but only once
did I truly give my heart

Only once
did I truly understand
why we love
how we love

Your last breath,
it was at that moment
that I knew
I could never, ever truly love another.

You

set my heart on fire

dancing around

together as one

I

adore you

let's dance to our flames

'till the end of time

My heart stubbornly

believes that one day

            you will truly see me

... truly love me

I used to gaze

Into your eyes for hours

hold you

... while sleeping



Greet you

with sleepy eyes

coffee for two

laughing... as one



I never stop

thinking about you

How can I?

When it's always been you!



Your hugs

I keep them close

Your voice

I still hear, clearly.



My soul needs

you more than my

aging body

and broken heart



In my dreams

I am not alone

How could I be?

You are right there with me!

I get a little troubled… often
so close to giving up
tears that
won't turn to happy ones

I know I have
to pick up the
shattered mirror
and keep moving

Being broken isn't graceful
it's a journey
to restore my soul
... from the inside
