my mind drifts

restless and disconnected

searching for a tethering point

the moment escapes me, nearly

tentative steps

towards a blank space

hope to get there by morning

if I cant sleep

I sing and I'm singing all night tonight 

are you sleeping soundly 

can you hear me

as I watch you lay beside me 

running a verse thru pursed lips 

rain around my heart outside your smile

beaten up and beaten down

all used up

your eyes carry me on 

what will be

no one truly knows 

a blessing behind the fear

it may be written 

but the page i...

will the beautiful colors of autumn
protect against the oncoming frost
the moon in the sky
is yours and mine
wherever we are
anchored by the stars
hung high over time

will the depth of winters chill
thaw in time to greet the crocus
deep black skies before the dawn
keep us hidden
as the nature resets
patience guides us
towards tomorrow

will the hopeful aroma of spring
dance endle...

you didn’t knock

you kicked the door in

your seeds of fear were sown immediately

your evil harvest would someday be full

you have stolen her words

you have weakened her independence

you have addled her mind

you have numbed half of her body

you haunt her with loneliness

you are taking aim at her spirit

fuck you

she is not yours to take

the seeds of her heart and ...

blinded so I couldn't see

the pain in front of me

howling as a winter wind

weakening a foundation yet cemented

trying everything

hoping to feel something real

like riding on the train

missing every stop

forgive you, and me

more than willing, but somehow unable

wishing one more time

to be rescued by the dawn

humbled by the power

not angry anymore

cross...

the scars you wear 

emblazoned upon your heart 

push you forward, yet drag the weight

of trouble seen
 

in ladybug red

galloping to freedom

storm clouds crying

on the detour around the dead
 

we all are drowning

even when it's dry

raging scenery dancing in the mirror 

time is an illusion to no one 
 

fractions of love

never added to much of anything

stand near me
and calm my pace
fill your cup
and drink me till your blind

it's the life we're living
not a soul to blame
the howling wind scatters my thoughts

ain't nothing wrong
with our chemistry
it harder to speak
when others are listening

it's a cheap disease
I don't want to lose this fight
a complicated story
around the bend it's always night

this love you found
it's me through and through
it may be broken
but still my love
I give you me
it's what I have
did I mislead your heart
with a look or promise
did I offer what I do not own
I want to, I do
apologies for all I am not

the rhythm of parallel lives

difficult to catch the pace

traveling together and alone

chopping through the wake of the crossover

goodbyes follow hello

our distant homes drive us forward

guided by the sunrise

filled as we can be

as empty spaces are part of the core

the roadmap is ours

drawn as we travel

there is no ersaer

only nimble toes to navigate the terr...
