My words are my company
They’re all I have left
When faces and friends have left me
Bereft.
Soft words cloak my heart
They keep my soul warm
Like music they work like a
Charm.
My words are my company –
A massage and a touch
My words oh I do! I need you
So much!
I question my logic
I wish I could tell
Why your thoughts and your words
Wrap me under your spell
It makes no sense
I don’t understand
I question my logic
I stare at my hand
I rip off my nails
While I try the hard math
It makes no sense
Overcome with pure wrath
There is no logic
My love is pure blind
No rhyme nor reason
You’re one of a kind.
Words fail me I have nothing to say
There is no reason or why to explain
I flog myself, try understand why
But nothing arises the well has run dry
Emptiness swallows, I drop down the well
Into blackness forever – that’s all I can tell.
Things happen
People fail
Others fall.
Nights follow
Sorrows drown –
That is all.
I believe in you and all you can achieve
In your vision and power to change the world
I believe in you – your strength and quiet grace
I believe in you – grow strong and fill your place.
Grow strong and with every step you take
You will prove your will and rise above the crowd
A beating storm will wash away the moody clouds –
Breathe fresh air, intoxicate your lungs, believe.
Oh steely resolve, that stamina I lack but need
Will come to me, in time it will appear
I will believe just as you have taught me so
To change the world, I will love and learn and grow.
I love you my darling
I love you my sweet
I need you to hold me
I need you to sweep –
To sweep me forever
In your hidden charms
To hold me my darling
In your loving arms
I know it’s not easy
I push those away
That dare to tread closely
Or otherwise stray
Away from my touch
Away from my words
But love me my darling
Forever I’m yours
Against a naked sky
Satellites
Cut across the void
Oh! – my empty heart
If only truth be told
My love and depth of need –
Unending
Pain and endless tears
I cling to you as best I can
While looking to the stars
So anchored firm and sure
For all those
Times and ages past
Now nothing is the same
Lights and satellites –
Expose the hidden cast
It’s just a thin line that appears
So delicate and fine that you wonder if it’s even there
But as you shake your head and clear your eyes
A deeper longer darker crack begins to form
You cannot ignore it anymore
It cannot be wished away
It will not disappear
It’s broken.
Sometimes –
Beyond repair.
Massage my heart
I plead of thee!
Iron out those pleats
Of pain.
In all my desperation, Lord
I look above and
Search for thee.
I look towards blue skies above
And learn again of thy true love.
Though I may fail and stumble, crawl –
An outstretched hand will
Break my fall.
Whifts of a long lost scent
Aroused my senses.
We were there, you and I –
In an all too brief
Moment.
I breathed you in without
Thinking and only feeling.
With nostalgia and an
Inexplicable longing
I breathe you out.
