Inspired to sadness....
Just some works in progress:
Lying here alone,
Next to open space,
With nothing but scar tissue in my heart,
And oceans of salt in my eyes,
How do you breathe?
Have you ever really loved-
When you are all alone?
-11/27/01
My heart lies helpless,
Beating in my chest.
A knife can prick so deep at times,
A word can feel like a stab.
Empty silences feel like years,
Yet the noise can be deafening.
-11/27/01
I dream awake sometimes,
Loving nothing...
(ok the lines seemed good, just need more...onward)
Why can't I write happy love poems:(
Ok...grrrrr
What I want:
Hands clasped together,
Kisses in the morning,
Before leaving for work.
Nights not sleeping,
Spent staring into each other's eyes,
Knowing how helpless we are,
And loving it.
Candles lit and fireplaces hot,
Lying cuddled together,
Staying up all night talking,
Just because.
Dancing together with no music playing,
But hearing the same beat in our heads.
Being unhappy, but the thought of leaving-
Never crossing my mind.
A day never coming when I love you isn't said,
And the words never losing there meaning.
Being able to cry,
And not wanting to hide.
Snuggling together with our kids,
And pups inbetween,
Looking at each other,
Smiling, and mouthing I love you.
Waking up cranky,
And being cheered up with a tackle and a kiss.
Pillow fights, and chases in the halls,
Not wanting my picture taken,
But wanting it taken with each other whenever possible.
Caring for each other when sick,
Snuggled with soup and blankets.
Changing diapers together,
And laughing at the stench,
But happy.
Painting our house-
And each other!
Cooking together,
And eating it off each other,
Cleaning up together.
Conserving water whenever possible.
Not being able to take my eyes off of her,
For fear of never seeing her again,
But secure that the chance of being alone,
Is not possible.
Anniversaries.
Birthdays.
A forever.
