Locked Up

Doing time 

heart shackled to the moments we've left behind Lock me down in this space 

The confinement of you

The chains may rattle 

the cage may shake 

Yet nothing will unchain the love locked within us

Come what may

Some things remain the same 

I wish to be in your custody 

restraints I will never fight to undo.. 

screw in the bolts 

tighten the locks 

Held captive by us

Doing life with you

my prison of love..

Drifting

the tighter I hold 

The looser the grip..

slowly slipping away

Words sound the same 

scenery looks the same 

Smiling familiar faces 

running circles in the same places 

but the ground is shifting 

Drifting.. can't be stopped..

Airwaves are deadly 

currents sucking me in slowly 

until I'm giving into the pressure..

Being carried away involuntarily 

thrown about aimlessly..

until I glide away 

TrailBlazing

we lit up the paths behind us, 

burning so bright with each venture we'd race to..

each new door we'd dare to jump through 

Unafraid where we'd land.. knowing we were hand in hand

embracing the unknown 

Fearless in our quest for life..

it now blankets our insides, suffocating our outsides

the darkness of fear eclipsing the light that shined so bright 

the silence so eerie, it is all we hear..

Let's start a fire 

Burning up the apparitions that have become us, burying the ghosts we hide in

watching till fear is no more 

Awake with me

Let's ignite the trails till they roar..

Blank Page

We will always be the unfinished story 

the hope of lost moments 

unspoken dreams 

the taste of sweetness throughout me 

it lifts me when I'm down 

pushes me to go on

take my hand, let's carry on 

my mind renewed as the heart leads the way 

writing what it knows 

fascinated, captivated

the pen comes to life 

etching out details to beautiful to share 

real love is messy

it is blissful madness..

We are everything&nothing

the blank page will remain so

the ending always changing 

as our story goes on & on..

thoughts steady as I go

the little things

Love without depth is weak 

succumbing to the many distractions

running its' course until it's undone

without softness it

lacks a fragile tenderness leaving it hollow

the emptiness hardening as it covers up the hurts..

Be vigilant 

It's the little things 

The unspoken thoughts showing through in actions.. that silent love - the most beautiful sound your heart has ever heard..

little things mean a lot more in love..

The Ties That Bind..

A connection, a bond

The smallest of ties..

A story behind every story 

A reason, a why 

for the smile 

for the pain 

An overlapping of the unknown 

A string that draws us in 

making all of us a part of the other 

Our ups, our downs 

our triumphs, our losses..

so simple, so complex

so wonderful, so not 

with everything in between..

Let the strings that connect our thoughts & our hearts

create a link so strong that our differences will fade 

And love will be the reason and the why 

of a you and an I..

Puzzle Pieces

Somewhere in my brokenness I'm whole 

The brand new me wears a new coat of paint 

Splashes of color filling the empty spaces 

happy to never being the same 

New shades of peace cover me and the rain will not wash it away 

uncertainty is nothing to fear..

Nothing to explain as I step out onto this new plane waiting for the lines to join..

The many puzzle pieces that have become me 

I'm intrigued

stepping strong i move on

courageous in the unknown

I can do this on my own

I see the shadow of your smile

Mesmerized..it lights my way and I like where it leads..
