Early riser

I wake up this morning
To stillness in the breeze
When the world is just taking its time
Cause there is nothing on the agenda
Of a thousand so things I am the only one astir
In the cool dead air
My heart beats out of sync

As you are the Goddess of beauty and art
By whose finger's touch my heart blossomed
And from the mundane, I have come alight with awe
As it was you who gave the words
That sparked in me so many others
And has changed my view of this world, for the better
As you are the one who got away
Because of the wrong place and time
Then, and perhaps right now
But who's actions tell the world
That it is time for redemption
I think to myself, as I long for you
You who are so far away, in miles and in thought
Perhaps I could lead you here with my words
Words you will never see, but which the world will hear
If love's powers abound, then my words will lead you to me
And as I know that you are a student of life's light
Somehow, the world will conspire for you to hear what is not said
Feel what is not expressed
And be where we have to be

The sun rises a bit more
The world slowly mumbles and wakes
The picture slowly dissipates
The ghost of you remains
My time has come up
But ours is only beginning

Cusp

I have been caught in the terrible bliss of the bitter for the longest time. When it arrives, I accept it and swallow it whole. I let it seep into the core of me, covering every inch of me until I cease to feel it anymore. There is an unrisen delight in the darkness, in that the sweet is not as sweet without the bitter. And for all my woes, all my suffering in solitude, there is an unbearable light in the end. A light that turns every single minuscule bit of bitterness into sheer delight.

Waiting up

I am a slave to time
And place and reason
Every hour I check
Every minute I wonder
Every second waiting for another
At every turn my eyes follow
And each sound I sift
I am left to sit in patience
As the world continues to spin
Only hope can lead me out of this
It is in the confidence in knowing
Or in the faith that the confidence will come
