alive in the fall...

alive in the fall...

in the quiet 

I’m there...

when you’re not looking 

unaware...

the lull of my voice 

leads you there...

Loud in your heart 

pushing and pulling 

leaving no choice..

what will you do 

who is it that rules...

Can’t part the sea 

to reach the shore... 

Undertow looming 

till you’re no more...

The ground racing toward you 

alive in the fall...

I’m hidden in the details 

Greatest secret of all...

Canvas me..

unbleached cloth 

your love seeping through me...

shaping my heart 

until it’s tightly woven...

a canvas to you 

Paint me what you will...

my colors vibrant by your gentle touch 

happy to mix it up...

changing shades in your storm

set sail with me 

in the sea of love we have formed...

Rooted...

Rooted...

solid strong 

our house won’t fall 

bones are good 

changing with time 

like petrified wood..

banged around 

chips hit the ground 

melodic pain 

it’s worth the gain..

we scatter but we won’t shatter into pieces we dont know..

we built us well

time will tell

Only just begun..

moments are fleeting

my heart is bleeding 

feels incomplete..

was it enough

did I reach you 

teach you 

as I become a mime with time..

does your heart know what mine has sown 

from the moment you began..

words collapse on my tongue as I become undone 

in awe of the human you have become..

independent

confident

you wear it well..

breaking free 

while I hold so

tight

reigning you in with my might..

my heart overflows with stories untold..

beaming with pride 

I’ll let your hopes dance

not fearing the past that cannot last..

Symphony of you

Tugging, pulling 

the music is cued..

Heart strings dangling  

waiting on you..

wound up tight 

Fill me with dread 

Or sheer delight..

It’s a choice 

your choice

which do you choose...

elaborate 

full spectrum 

You bring on the charm

Symphony in my head

sound the alarm..

it’s music 

our music 

we don’t skip a beat

Let’s waste moments together 

while we bruise in the heat..

blood vessels may rupture but what do we care 

a little discoloring 

we will not scare..

We’re classic 

complex 

symphonic at best..

our love is relentless 

when put to the test..

Scorched

searing 

Burning 

lighting my core 

you cut

twisting, turning 

leaving no spot..

the screaming in my soul it can’t be whole..

I want to soar 

touch the sky

feel the sun 

till I’m high..

in my eyes you’d see the

sunshine till it made you cry

if your wanderlust settled 

you’d stay awhile..

A tale we could tell 

you’d know me well..

This is love..

Bruised knees to bruised hearts 

every moment - a new start..

you give

you take 

we grow through heartache..

searching 

wandering 

leading me through 

Beautiful ghosts I always knew 

you give and I live..

Memories within 

never grow old..

invaluable, priceless

we slowly unfold..

I’ll dance with the shadows of all that we know 

you color my heart vibrant 

our story untold..
