All we have in this world
Is time
To find our hopes and dreams
A blink and it goes
Like a comet
Your life, a scorching trail
Burning the days that you leave behind

On this planet of your birth
You lived
A life of wondrous adventure
You loved, were loved
A family tree planted
Nurtured and cherished
Look how the branches spread

Too long have I waited
The heat of you, the smell of you
You make me
Miss you
This yearning, longing for you
I cannot quiet the fire
You make me
Burn
I see the smoulder in your eyes
Taste the desperate need on your lips
You make me
Breathless
I feel your body, contours so familiar
As your arms wrap around me
You make me
Feel alive
In a deep tidal rhythm that ebbs and flows
I am rising, racing up high, higher
You make me
Fly
Arms entangled, our hearts slowly fall to a quiet beat
As breath deepens, readying for sleep. You kiss me.
You make me
Love you

I am trapped, a cage
A room, four walls, a door
A prisoner of my age
They don’t see me anymore
I am the invisible me

They come each day
Clean, cook and wash me clean
Then leave without a say
I am not heard not seen
I am the invisible me

In the quiet of my solitude
I travel, drifting back in memory
And for just a short interlude
I can become what I used to be
Not be the invisible me

The joy that laughter brings
In childhood play
Then grown, marriage rings
Feeling so much love. I want to stay.
Not be the invisible me

I can feel the closeness of the end
My heart is carrying the weight
Not many more days to go
Before I finally reach heaven’s gate
No longer the invisible me

Like wine, intoxicating
I am an addict.
The look of you
The smell of you
My heat burns against ice
There is no thaw.
I give all to you
My very soul to you
I am distant in your eyes
A tracing paper image
Unknown to you
Not known to you
It is a lie, deceit bruises your lips
As they tumble in haste
I am torn from you
Restrained from you
In torturous fire I watch
As you walk away with her
She is nothing to you
She is nothing
Tomorrow, you will see
I will show her fickle heart
Then you and I, we will be
Forever

Hide the moon, I plead thee
Forever cover its neon glow
Pull out the stars, I beg
Let them shine eternity, no more

Let the Darkness reign
Let the world stop rotating
He is gone

Be still the birds joyful song
Quiet the bees hum, the cats purr
Let the clocks lose their happy chime
And children’s laughter fade to quiet

Let the silence fall
Let the night take away the sun
He is gone

He was the moon that filled my soul
His laughter, gave the world it’s sound
His eyes, outshone the stars in the sky
His heart, showed a love, it was forever.

All I hear now is silence
All I see is falling rain
He is gone
Breathing is all that remains
