Nowhere, in between

I sit in solitude
As life floats by

Heaven waits at a distance
Never near
Not knowing I am here
I see the angels
They float on

Such beauty
Such lust
Wanting what can not be
In my thoughts, together
In the space between
Wanting what is bound

A cosmic comedy
A one man tragedy
Pointless sin

Silently, slowly
I die a little each day
Piece by piece
Anguish unceasing
Caught between nothing and a perpetual loss

Let me go
Let me be
I have served my penance
I dream of light
Such light
Bound in brightness
Till I wake

Wave after wave

Those tiny creases
Sun-kissed silk
Between sentences a sultry pout

I run my fingers slowly
Across the golden surface
My eyes do their walking

Sweet anticipation
A luscious clash
Trespass sweetly urged

Down those lovely limbs
Round those curves
Passive agressive possession

Between the sheets
Over and on top
Finding you again and again

Every inch an hour
Sweet salt on skin
Lost in your eyes

We float forever
Stranded in time
Lost in our world

Silhouettes

Here we are
Where we are
My head is stuffy
It feels like I'm still asleep
Two days ago I woke up
And fell asleep again
Caught up in a haze
I couldn't keep my eyes open
I fell back

Today the clouds
They set in
And the fairness
It just ain't as fair
Under the heavy shadows
Life plays a different hue
And I don't see you
I didn't see you

No brilliant colors
No light of day
Wrapped in gray
Just crowded numbers
Lines and graphs
A non-stop to and fro
Yes and no
Maybes and I'll-think-about-thats

Homebound
It's all the same
Another day
Just the same
The cars speed by
Fast and slow
To and fro
Still in a haze
Caught in a maze
Lost in our days
Still unsure
Unknown
Unrealized

When will I wake up?

I feel my body but my mind is asleep
I can feel my breathing but my heart is weak
I see you all but there is nothing
There is nothing here

Wake me up

Grape tree

We meet again

How can it be
Emotional atrophy

I don't mean to be mean
I just don't know what to say
Head bowed I silently walk away

I know I'm better than this
Have made a hundred and one cry
I should have stayed to talk some more
But I was the one who said goodbye

Deep down I know it's wrong
Perhaps I am only in denial
To him your heart belongs
This is all a wasteful trial

But I get lost in you over and over again

Disarmed by that face
Broken down, without defenses

And that smile
Such bitterness, such delight
The only one of it's kind

Your eyes talk
They pour into my soul
If we could see eye to eye
My heart would explode

Your grace and demeanor
Your sarcasm and wit
A million conversations waiting
A lifetime of exploring
A year or so too late

Perhaps a bit too late

Grateful

In the stillness I sit
A calm in my heart
I am grateful

In this place
At this time
There is nothing else I would ask
Greatness it seems is quite a distance away
But it is within sight

My faith is strong
My strength eternal
I have no fear

Everything for a greater purpose
Everything I am is light
Let the light shine for the world to see
Live through me

Simple Joys

I think about you a hundred times a day
I pray to God to look after you
You are every second of every hour
You are everything I do

You are the sunshine in the morning
The soothing calm in the night
Though life can throw bricks and spite
Just the thought of you makes everything all right

I will tell you everyday
How beautiful you are
And I will make you feel my love
No matter how near or far

My life has forever changed
Since the day we first met
If you would just stay beside me
My life would be set

You are joy in my world
You are everything I desire
I will always look after you
I promise I will never tire

I pray this would last forever
I pray you will always see
You and I are meant to be
You are everything to me

Day & night

Make no mistake
You don't see me
But I'm always with you
In my thoughts
In all these songs
Always a prayer sent

With each new day
There's a reason
A smile I can't escape
Joy out of its bounds
All because of you

We don't need lines
No grand gestures
No walks under the moonlight
Just you and me
And you being you

As it has always been
You are all I see
But now I finally see you
For all that you really are
And you are so beautiful
