Upon a knee,
With open heart,
Promise to never part;
Yet there is a part;
A silent hurt;
A shame to hide;
A thought to fear;
So it goes;
Never known;
The doubt that pinches;
An oval cut.
Choked with love;
Left unsaid.
Blind happy eyes.
Warm embrace.
Silence best
For unkind past.

Gray ash on pale skin;
Wednesday's child;
Smolder with repentance.
Confess your sins.
Release your worries.
Walk the path of reflection.
Revel in the silence.

Days under the pull;
Moon tugging at my soul;
Pulling me further away;
Dazzling nothing;
Coolness in the heat of rush;
Deep solitude sweeps around;
With the lush quiet of calm.

Don't remind me,
Don't hop on my last nerve.
I wander about in the lost land
Trying to discover a new path
Looking for a bright end
With answers
Just don't try to compare
Let me be,
Let me breathe.
Do you really think it
makes us stronger?
I thought this was just
a short drop off
for the everlasting.
Just don't.

Rhyme in mind;
Seen a time gone by;
***** ole line spins by;
Not cruel, just rumpled.
Not spicy, just worn.
Once bounced with new,
now falls with truth.
Lost about the edges.

Glimpses in a dream-
so ordinary, I merely accept
that gentle smile long since gone.
So normal, a part of my day,
I forget to appreciate
what God has granted me
until I wake.
Then, I wish I had run to you.
Had hugged you.
Had told you how I missed you.
I want to dream again.

My foot failed to catch the step;
Your calming hand clasped my elbow;
With a glance, half a smile;
My heart bounced forward
not missing the fall.
That gentle wave of knowing.
The thought of familiar.
The memory of your scent.
The memory of your intimate touch.
Never will my heart stop feeling.
To my mind, you belong to me alone.
Perhaps also to yours.
A shame that is not the way
as I continue alone.
