Your eyes are pools of changing gems, Taking on whatever colors they need To reflect their thoughts into the world. I swim in them, helpless to fight their tow; Perfectly content with letting myself drown.

Interest
It's that quiet kind of interest, that kind not spoken of... that kind that breeds the perfect dreams, but never grows to love. It's a subtle curiosity, that keeps my mind amused, of what would be, if we could be; my distraction and my muse.
Leave
Leave as the waves that sway from the sea, Venturing into the deep before coming home to me. Leave as the Sun that hides beyond sight, Traveling around the globe, before dawning on the night. Leave as the seasons spreading through trees, Cycling wistfully through their moods, carried on a breeze. Leave as the breath … Continue reading Leave
Us
Love, pain, need, regret- Goals and triumphs never met. warmth, hurt, something else- Things, I think, I’ve always felt. Him, her, them, they? Blurry visions, leaving vague. Future, maybe, you think? Us? The votes against- unanimous. Laughter, light, joy, sun- You and me when left alone. darkness, though, when you go- Swallowed by another show. … Continue reading Us

Something In-between
Lost within a memory I won’t let myself forget, Like the face of a newborn child Or that of my first regret. It finds me all alone, Gone to the gallows of night; And I ponder, stare, commiserate How something could be so right… Staring back into my soul With jewels of bourbon silk, Fingers … Continue reading Something In-between
Reminisce
---Written for my love, who will likely never see this, in an attempt to reminisce the start of our commitment --- A drunken night, A silent joke, An early morning, A walk in the road, A night of cards, Another of chess, (Hard to believe That was your best) A day in doors TV blared … Continue reading Reminisce
Breath
Did you catch your breath? Mine is somewhere far away Trapped in a world Where we never met.
A Good Day Fades
A good day fades, disappears until we’re left with nothing But the ragged edges of a memory to tell us we were happy. Are those memories alive In you? Or did they fade, too, Like the June gloom that settled into those brilliant mornings where we cuddled in bed, when you were the one I … Continue reading A Good Day Fades
