Eager heart at the edge
Roll the windows down just to feel the wind
turn the heater on
hair dances on skin
Sensations that mix and mingle within
my eager heart
on the edge of ready to start
almost ready to race apart
to push, kickstart
and run ahead.
So close to the andrenalin
A journey about to begin
Every switch of my ignition
Is an point
of an adventure.
Swimming in mayhem and nature
Singing in rain and thunder
Smiling in the freezing storm
life is all I’m looking for.
I don’t need to be loved
I need only to love
At least that
is the glimpse
beyond the horizon
enlightening
Mother earth
shyly reveals
soft rounded shoulders
peeks of passionate eyes
A gentle, powerful beauty.
Demanding no glances
to activate the charm.
Searching
If you never look
You’ll never see
The sunshine leaking
along the edge of the sky
The dance of the leaves
as they fall from the tree.
If you never look
You’ll never find
Everything sings
If you listen closely enough.
With eye wide open
but tightly shut
Much goes by
beauty unexperienced.
Fragile seed
Words spoken with unspoken smiles
are still ringing in my ears
and dancing around my fragile heart
I should not have let myself hear them.
If you spoke in earnest, I would never know
you hide beneath playful pandering
and sheets of sarcasm
Your heart never thawed in the spring
I try to unbury you
during my spring planting
But you are too attached
to your dark, dirty air.
Absence of thrill, absence of despair
So instead I will unbury myself
from your feather touches of light
and seek some new sunshine
Billowing breath
Brought to life by bitter cold
Ethereal form torn
from the lips by its maker
The ice queen of the arctic sea
Fluttering heart
Brought awake by icy air
shivering hands curl
searching for shelter
As trees roll up their limbs for slumber
I roll down my sleeves
and exhales ghosts into the breeze
Season of Waiting
The snow is
silence
stretching across the earth
Purifying the city noise
Crystallizing the city’s skies
A gentle smothering
A blissful suffocation
Nirvana of oxygen deprivation
and crystal lace in my lungs
The freeze is
freedom
flying on the billowed breaths
awakening without regrets
urgency and stillness intertwined
A place where I can leave
myself behind with every step
A chance to grow deeply inside
and wait for the season to emerge
Something Wild in the Wind
There’s something wild in the wind
Carrying cries of a savage land
Taking my hand and leading me in
To a forest of fire and dance.
Temptation does tousle my hair
Teasing my worries and my fear
Calling over sunkissed shoulders
Catch me if you can
There’s old magic in the breeze
Showing me that everything
can learn to dance with ease
and a small helping of surrender
Loneliness
There is nothing sinister
about silence
Nothing sorrowful
in solace
But a heart truly breaks
when there is no one to notice
Unrequited
You put me on a pedestal
and then left me to collect dust
In the corner of this shrine
To wasted time
And unlived memories
I thought I had nothing to lose
It hurts so much to love you
But even if I set you free
You’d fly away with the key to my cage
Because love is a two way street
Even if one person refuses to move
Dying Stars
The soft admiration in your gaze
Was a dying reflection
A light beam deflected
The last reaching arm
of a long dead star.
You first kissed me
Under the midnight stars
Starved breaths of hydrogen
burning hot, and bright
Crafting love in the
Bittersweet light
Here our love was born
Under the light of a dying star
But as you held on
to your love for her
Ours wasn’t love at all
It was the lingering echo
Of beautiful cities past
Ringing in trace heartbeats
Still in rhythm since their collapse
But now the debris has settled
To show a winding but unwalked path
Maybe our stars will align again
Without the shadows of our past
