On The Way Home

 

 

Here we are, again.

Here you are, again.

One toe in the water,

testing.

Not sure.

testing.

Want.

 

 

Think of you so often.

You thought of me, often.

Missed?

Yes.

On both parts.

testing.

Wanting.

On the way home.

 

Thought of you with lily of the valley in bloom.

Thought of you with the crescent moon.

testing.

Unsure.

Thought of you on the way home.

On the way home.

Changes

Apart, it was meant to be

Even though I didn’t want you to leave

Even though I didn’t want to leave.

It has to be.

It doesn’t have to be.

Changes in life come unexpectedly

 

That impish smile,

Those thoughts treasured now lost.

Gone.

Those eyes with a sparkle,

Those eyes that hid and hide so much.

Those lips ...

It has to be.

It doesn’t have to be.

Changes in life come so unexpectedly

 

Love on the 33^rd floor.

No one will ever understand,

What it was like to hold your hand.

I tell them I’m strong,

But to hear your voice I long.

Gone.

It doesn’t have to be.

Changes in life come so unexpectedly.

It has to be.

It has to be.

Now the hurt is quietly raw,

After you taught my tired heart to loosen and thaw.

     I Don’t Want This Hurt to Be.

I miss the strength you don't realize you have.

why can't We Be?

Changes.

Changes sometimes so hard to see.

Damn Your Lines

 

Everything had started to begin again

Alone once more, accepting no men.

Scribed a few lines sent in haste

Brought me memories I wanted to erase.

 

“At least you can ‘feel’” I convinced myself anew

Hoping at some point I’d forget about you.

Scribed those few lines I read with such haste

Reliving each memory I wanted not to face.

 

Hoping for Hope and wanting it not,

Then in the mail those lines burned so hot.

Reading and wanting, believe again,

Why do I do it? Shouldn’t it just end?

 

Scribed those words in haste you sent,

Do I want this or are they Heaven lent?

Damn your eyes, that smile that burns my heart,

Damn your lines and that one rose from the start.

 

Two Hearts in Bloom

That dream seemed always just out of reach,

Walking alone on life’s sweeping beach.

Wondering how arms could possibly feel like,

Holding me close in the darkness of a night.

Letting it go and burying my heart,

Slowly the blackness wins its part.

Rolling along every day turns another

Continuing the process fulfilling its smother.

Then, a glimpse is carried from afar,

Will it know light from that shimmering star?

Slowly, ever so slowly something awakens and recalls

Surely nothing can penetrate these strong, harden walls.

Those words, that voice doing their part

Shining his light on that old, tired heart.

Two pair of eyes one day finally meet,

Walking together on that cold Boston street.

Come to find out their feelings seemed same,

Showing each other that this was no game.

Stealing a kiss in the corner of a room,

Blooming those hearts, quickly shedding all gloom.

The Light That Never Goes Out

The Light That Never Goes Out      

 

Ever so slowly a thought ignites,

Creating a spark that soon will alight.

Can you feel the heat begin to warm,

Fading the cold from a heart roughly torn?

Brighter and bright it lightens the two,

Exposing then healing old wounds now so few.

Worries fade to an infinite sight,

It feels so warm like a blanket at night.

Can you feel the heat from that light?

Can you see the two burning bright?

Is this a dream? Please don’t let me wake.

I’d gladly sleep forever just for our hearts sake.

Keep the light burning, “FOREVER!” I shout.

 

For You are my light that will Never go out.

Strong

Strong

Day by day I wander through what life gives,

Thinking of how small I am in this world that lives.

Insecure and afraid, but no one can tell

Because I have built up such a thick and hard shell.

Thinking. Too much thinking and I long

Will I ever, ever be strong?

On I go, missing what started

Picturing that wonderful face when we parted.

Why is life so hard at times

When a love like ours is considered a crime?

Patience has always been a deep part of me,

But with you it disappears and it’s hard for me to see.

When will I hold you, touch you, I long.

When will I ever, ever be strong?

 

The sound of your voice lends me strength never seen,

I remember it well when times apart are lean.

Day into days I carry on the fight,

Waiting to see you and feel our spark ignite.

Brighter we grow like a windswept ember,

Building the fire only we will remember.

The rage of two souls fusing to become one,

Strong now we are. Stronger now there’s none.

Melting Time

Melting Time

All alone my thoughts had become so narrow,

Chasing slower and seeking quickly a boy with an arrow.

Tick tock and tock tick

Can’t it be faster to that historic click?

Days into Nights awaiting that chime,

Nights into Days seeming to melt away time.

 A knock appears one night on a cloud,

Who would have thought it could be so loud?

Sparing and shy their past fears show their strife,

They banish them all just to seek a new life.

Hopes become quickened and the pace seems to race,

Can it be? Will it be? Is this the face?

A slow, easy smile and the twinkle of his eyes,

Now I see further all that enlies.

Constant and gentle the touch of two souls,

Filling voids that were once nothing but holes.

Seclusion, embrace, the beat of two hearts,

Nervous and shy no longer they start.

Onwards and forwards their dreams become known,

Never to fear a life all alone.

Listening and caring and sharing their dreams,

Swept away on the light of moonbeams.

And now if you listen so closely a chime

Rings softly a kiss that begins melting their time.
