Your Child

There are so many moments I could never recall

Your voice I heard from your womb

Your touch I felt from my first morn

Bound together with our invisible cord

But that last night, that last drive, that last time

I heard your voice, I felt your touch

I will never forget, it will never be gone –

For as long as I live

As long as I breathe

I am your child

I recall it all

Company

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!

Logic

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

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

Things happen

People fail

Others fall.

Nights follow

Sorrows drown –

That is all.

Sweep Me Up

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

Satellites

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

Cracked

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.

Break My Fall

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.

Nostalgia

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.
