Drift away..

words now elude me

It’s just not the same..

I scream out your name 

to the silence reverberating the emptiness of pain..

my mind lost in time 

searching for the place that was once mine..

i took your hands 

we joined life 

together we faced all its’ strife..

I feel you here

yet you’re no where near.. 

I quietly watch as you subside 

You are the one my heart can’t hide..

rare 

Beautiful 

Uniquely you 

A recipe of our own 

we honed to share..

You heighten my senses 

awaken my core 

my soul is fighting strong to belong once more..

with each breath you breathe 

I grieve..

for I know what I know 

as you slowly drift away.. 

The kindest love is letting you go..

will I stand 

Will I sink 

as I slip to the brink 

when your fingers loosen mine for the very last time..

The map of you..

we've lived 

we've loved 

you fill my soul 

I mapped out the route of loving you whole..

it’s endless & growing 

as life moves you about

in its’ all knowing 

it shows all your sides 

even the inaccessible parts you try to hide..

there’s beauty within 

the hidden treasures of your heart..

a collection of all that’s been and to be

has taken us places pinned for you and me..

our worlds always turning 

shifting us so

melding your pieces into mine as we go..

one step at a time 

let’s walk toward the spaces where adventure awaits us..

Inevitable..

arms flail open 

life spins you round 

staying up as you hit

the ground 

I feel you crumble in my outstretched arms 

the tears you hide 

my heart soaks up inside..

not by accident 

nor design

we were granted time..   

let’s live

let’s give

somethings lost somethings gained 

one thing is certain

we won’t stay the same..  

there’s more than this -

more than the worst thing it has done -

love may have lost

it comes at a cost.. 

you will live on within 

immortal in me 

I’ll be your voice and 

live out the choice you fought to have.. 

I love your smile 

wish you’d stay awhile..

bold in your walk

a sight to behold 

There is beauty in the inevitable

or so I’ve been told.. 

Rains in her heart..

silenced heart 

no where to start..

lips tremble with fear

closing them tight 

she’s filled with fright..

If she lets her tongue loose 

will she hang by the noose..

what is right 

what is wrong

where do you belong..

why so afraid..

sway with the moments 

bend with the flow..

today is yesterday forgotten 

let it go..

Lost in tomorrow’s unknown 

it rains in her heart 

Washed away by the tides of history

let’s restart..

Trace the moments 

as your mind rewinds 

let it find you back to mine..

Bound..

Scale it down 

soften the blow

Fleeing from the gust that throws me so..

slipping away 

unafraid 

reality or fiction 

who’s to say..

Unrequited dreams 

How loud they scream

saying so much more 

I choose to ignore..

walking along the gentle shores 

The peace it roars

so beautifully loud 

Hidden well within this spell 

Twine me up 

Bind me tight 

the shroud of you is my delight..

Between the lines..

Line by line

the words keep time

each designed to mark you mine..

Eyes wide open 

Hungry heart

seeking truth from the start 

we grow, we mold 

we cave, we fold

between the lines 

Our story is told..

Page by page 

We are made new

grown from all we didn’t know..

Our story 

left to share and teach 

that love is a gift 

It inspires us best.. 

In time 

for each 

the curtain must fall..

intertwined souls through it all...

an adventure lived 

a tale told 

though grounded now 

it will never grow old 

our hearts a sieve 

so much to give..

Onto the stage..

no moments wasted..

yesterday’s are disappearing..

Dreaming the dreams 

scheming my things 

bringing them to life

before I lose sight of any landmark to my heart that leads me there..

The devil is in the details they say

play it out anyway

Quiet souls, feisty goals 

we broke all rules..

history shared

with so much care

Your essence radiates through the tear..

If It wasn’t a dream before the break

my heart is now 

fully awake..

walking onto the evolving stage with fright, delight and anticipation 

the unknown grabs my soul and I am whole..

feet tracing the lines that will wind me there 

here I come 

without a care..
