Silent Storm

You are passive

but not peaceful.

At this dam

of your emotion,

Any soul

would be as fearful.

Rest your frantic hands.

Your beaten heart

will blossom true.

Be wary, but not worn.

Just have faith in you.

You

It’s so warm inside your arms.

There’s something in the way you hold me

that makes my toes tingle.

I lie here as a whole

My body, my heart, my soul.

Surrounded in you.

I turn to look at your face.

I turn and see your smile.

I turn to see your soul

So unmistakable.

All I see is a smile

No more no less.

And I wonder to myself

where you are

Looking Glass

       Sometimes my face
       Within the glass
With a smile slowly fades.

       I used to think
       I longed for youth
those slow and playful days.

       A new notion
       grasps this moment
was here now yesterday.

       The minutes pass
       the hours fly by
It seems faster than it used to

       Distorts this face
       and memories
I can’t recall desire or truth   

       But yesterday
       Did I feel this way?
I think I’ll run and play today

       It all seems clear
       this life, this face
With peace I can embrace

Break

Running on empty dreams

And broken faith

Your demons’ chains embrace

This is not what it seems

I cannot speak, I cannot pray

My endless fall from grace

Find me on FaceBook

I recently got a FaceBook page where you can see my photos, keep in touch and reconnect! I’m so excited to finally be online and I already have found so many friends and family. What a fun and easy way to get involved!

No One

No one told me

this was easy.

No one told me

life was fair.

So why am I surprised

to wake and find

No one’s always there.

Heart

The feelings that my heart yearns to feel,

are inexplicable at best.

The words to describe the thoughts and wants

I’m sure they don’t exist. 

Perhaps happiness is meant to be

a goal most unreachable.

Perhaps the trials we go through

are not unreasonable. 

We’ll never know why life is life,

Why each of us is different.

We still won’t know why we die

When all energy and life is spent. 

So I live my life day by day.

Each hour is something new.

And with each minute that passes by,

my heart still yearns for you.

TIC

_TIC The sound of the _TIC

The clock _TIC

Just won’t go away.

_TIC The sound of the _TIC

The clock _TIC

Grows louder every day. 

_TIC It’s a comfort to _TIC

To know _TIC

There will come a time.

_TIC Yesterday has _TIC

Has passed _TIC

Tomorrow I’ll be fine.

Come Bask With Me

The breeze rubs gently on my cheek,

The trees sing a song of praise.

As if to say, “Come bask with me,

Lay safe in our embrace.

Know here there are no worldly ways,

No one to say, ‘Don’t talk too much,

or play too much, or think that way.’

Or, ‘Don’t dare be who you want to be.’

Here you can’t deny yourself.

We don’t ask for much, save company.

Here you need not be afraid

To know what’s free, come bask with me.”

I walk along this dim lit path,

Between the earth and sky.

My feet stay firmly on the ground,

As all my dreams fly by.

Here I Lie

Here I Lie

in a field of silence.

Surrounded by your words,

your smile, your laugh.

Here I Lie

broken and confused

by your mood

your dreams, your priorities.

Faithfulness

is a security

of our beliefs

and strength.

Trust

is my faith

in you, in me,

in us.

Crush

is what you do to me.

Here I Lie

 awake in my bed

in darkness and wanting.
