Wow it has been such a long while since I've posted....anything.

Well I'm back for now with two poems. 
Be gentle loves it’s been a bit since I've penned anything of substance.

Silhouettes fade to haze joining the dust in my eyes

drying tears at their source

I force

The steps forward

Scrape and tap a path

Across

Dull gleaming floors

Etching my way back

Swoon

For the death of the ever-changing tide

As waves crash our bodies collide

Rolling and sinking as waves overtake us

Glistening and churning the foaming sea encases

Your eyes and the sky hold the same cerulean tint

As my hands, and the sea, on your body as we’re bent.

Rising, collapsing, to meet the rocks on the sand

Passion pulsing but not to ( Read more... )

I’m slipping down this awkward smile

And I swear to God that once in a while

I’m Happy

Without coercion or threat

Vows, promises that seem

for the best.

I’m drowning in this wavering noise

And I swear on all these Holy Books

That I can laugh,

Without sarcasm or cynicism

Joyful Torrents

Free and seeping from my eyes.

I didn’t ask for this.

But as long as You’re giving I’ll take

Just don’t expect me here when you’re awake.

I can’t take the clarity

of light beaming through the blinds.

The honesty seeping through the shattered slats

hurts my eyes.

And I can’t take back

all the things You’ll see inside.

I didn’t want this.

But as long as you do I’ll enjoy

In this ebony ( Read more... )

And here’s to the years of contemplation and light

To hoping but not caring if you get it right.

Fumbling and laughing unhindered by mistakes.

Knowing through it all, that if you wanted, you’d have what it takes.

And here’s to the years of understanding and unknown

Of seeing the world as, other than, what you are shown

Wanting and reaching for answers ( Read more... )

And I said to you my love

All I want is nothing much

Just your heart and soul

And everything I can touch

And you said to me

All you want, you can have

Just as long as I can take the same

And never give it back.

Book

And my life is leather bound

Dog eared and worn

Reread and made ragged

Thumbed through and torn

By those around me

Flipping through chapters and trying to find

Some form of understanding of my piece of mind

My life is dusty pages

Used stained and put away

Left high and waiting for another’s touch, another day

A heart to ask questions to ( Read more... )

If Art I Am To You....

Paint me not in oils and hues

But whispered breaths of “I love you”

Sculpt me not in clay and sand

But in your mind with the palm of your hand

Sing of me not in harmony and rhyme

But with your laughter and tears each day at a time

Dance for me not in cemented step

But in leaps of grace unknown yet

Photograph me not ( Read more... )

Doll Eyes

Oh, Tiny Doll with alabaster eyes

Do you know that their depths mirror the skies?

Oh, Little One sitting so still

Would your small hands want, if they knew how to feel?

Oh, Pretty Cherub with liquid lips

Would they open and sing if offered a kiss?

Oh, Precious Thing with painted face

Are you happy beneath the linen and lace ( Read more... )

Thirsting

And the world as it seems

Is not what I hope it would be

But a vague imitation of trying

And people on the whole

Spout from parched lips

Wisdom they do not know

And I wonder if it’s better off dying
