air beneath my feet...

flying 

or stuck 

this gilded cage of mine.. 

breathing or suffocating 

the walls are closing in..

lost myself along the way

do I have to stay.. 

everything I ever knew 

came from you..

I feel the air beneath my feet 

rattling my bones 

breaking it down 

building it up 

I see the door 

the way out..

listen to my shout 

flutter your wings 

let’s change the scene..

Quarantined love..

one way ticket 

enjoy the ride...

will we survive 

as we walk this in stride..

is it my heaven or 

hell that’s arrived...

what you imagine is what you will see...

it can be easy

free as the breeze 

or lock you down cold 

struck with disease... 

hope is a dream

not always what it seems... 

Detours here

Detours there

Sometimes happy 

sometimes they scare...

seven years passed 

like water under the bridge...

for a brief moment in time 

our lives paused 

giving us cause to love without laws..

tiniest second...

you filter through the pane...

sheltering in deeper and deeper 

all of it in vain 

no glass thick enough to keep away the pain...

hand reaches out 

fingers tracing yours... 

For the tiniest second you have everything to gain...

searching deep within 

you no longer know your name... 

each tear rolling down 

sweeps you to the ground...

breaking the glass 

I’ll clean up the shard...  time will stand still 

until the parts of your divided heart heal... 

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..
