i think you're near

Red on the Sand
|
i think you're near, but can't be seen.
so far away, what does it mean? how could a heart beat on a shore so distant where the thunders roar? why is there silence in your eyes? will all the special memories die? please tell me that your love will live with every song to you i give. are all your skies dark in the day, or do they thrive just in my way? i think you're near, but can't be heard, not even in a singing bird. does my voice ring in your ears? do you forget with passing years? when will i hear a laughing sound? perhaps when your smile is found. speak of me though i am far. tell them i am your shining star. are all your windy nights so cold, or are they just for me so bold? i think you're near, but i'm not sure. how much more can i endure? can you even feel my pain within the drops of angry rain? i think you're near but can't be seen. |
Whispering the rocky climb
Veins of light pushing exacting Softer now gentle Ring me the sky Sailing peaks of mountains Generous shivering ranges Of sky filled tapestry Falling Snow drops of misting azure light Beating the air with thunderous wings Lighting emeralds of passion Joy filled twilights in song Forever they cry in the emptiness Weeping in the sun touched holiness Of hearts and minds Souls entwined in braided light Oceans of glimmering crests And windy drifting storms |
Red on the sand
It blows and swirls like grass in the wind Cracked ivory towers, tired and tattered Bending the hairs on my eyelids Dizzy and empassioned, I walk up the wall Sitting in the corner, I scrape and roll Closing my ears to their stares Their narrow, twisted wrath It rails me like glass Red on the sand, green in my eyes Patting the water as it breezes my cheek Cool and soft as curtains of cotton Soot covered blossoms of silver and lime Peeling my thoughts with chisel and ice Curvy sharpness hidden in wax Melting with flames and honey It drips from my lips Red on the sand, gold in the clouds The lone dark freezes my song Ripping tears from my pulse and Splattering my dreams again and again Stars weeping Crisp and jagged and silent My single thought torn to the ground Grass folding with my breath Choking until I am gone |

My Love
|
my sweet one
we met for just a moment did you know how i loved you you came to me and touched my soul you filled all my dreams with sweet kisses i saved my arms for you my love, my heart to hold you to touch you gazing at your loving smiles all I want is one sound of your voice just one look at you just one |
reckless it glowers
racing across the bareness of me innocence sleeping in summer fields immune to the storm's smiling breath riding the perfumed winds screaming their spells to the golden gods forever cabined in my heart |
Space like boxes and hillsides of lavender
Fields of honeysuckle and you With your glimmer of song Melodies and sun-tortured whispers Forever Gasping and holding To me Written in the spaces between clouds Violence creaking my mind Like wooden planks And you Barefoot and free With long grasses and happy moments I try to grasp at you And pull you near Tickling at your heart Holding your breath close to my soul Your drowsy tears and soft lips I am there in the quiet Listen for me |
In Your Forever Thoughts
|
holding tightly
|
Other Faces
|
Born into greatest of wishes
Crying tears of blood and lust Drowning in the touch forever Roaming Searching for a place Within the soul and song Of your eyes and faithless sight Failing to cry the tears Of the dead You fear for their warmth Their touch Their silence Breaking the shores with Crisp whispers and stoney eyes Thickness of pulse and pause Pulse and pause Vibrant ending worlds In your forever thoughts The forever times of old In your mind In your dreams You see the walking worlds Of your youth You see the waking joy Of nothing that was Or can be |
clouds
storming behind my eyes raining on my lips lust burns in the blue dark teasing and touching me but i feel cold it slices through skin red and slick cringing beneath your iron glare watching taunting the dew from my sight wrinkling petals in my hand on my tips in my lap bare and fashioned i sing a lyric of memory night birds praying to the moon my memory held tightly with bands of string and song whispered in drowsy hours i want to smile it glows on my tongue like a meteor streaking under closed lids lashes full and sensual damp with your cruelty the word is harsh it shatters the pewter framed glass a bauble fractured within my love my love the branches snap under your step live let me live |
kneeling before the shroud of your linen graces
bound and battered spotted with cream dotted with ever-eternal glances in the smoke twisted deafening pouty rippling flowery othering sensations flowing and choking chained by your heart tugging me pinching your other face with feathering masks time-tortured snail-like slowness it touches me wrapping me in sour melodies in the pale crisp polite words you never spoke rearing itself on the moon casting its growing tales spoken with shadows leaning in the wind like a single blade of grass turn and give me my right to threaten in the way I choose I am my own soul without any remorse without any panic of a notion you make to your other faces in the darkness thoughts touching me ripping following all that came before to the overcrest slicing peaks of sunsets and horizons in the fields of deep flowering waves powers that share their might to never before my only rising thoughts are of you what you wish I was when you thought and remembered all those times of long ago never be what is unspoken |
Windless Song |
Nothing More
|
Startled by the Moon
|
I was born for this
slave to the earth feathers of blackness I soar your endless lands choosing death my comforting windless song plunging and plucking you and you come to me release your world into my soul surrounded in an indigo beyond closer feel my breath's caress surrender to the gentle call surrender and you are mine |
cloudy thickness hovering
in my soul of light and dark wretchedness of you calling to me, asking for what I can not give I gave it all I gave it to those with closed ears choking me with their foulness selfish smiles of false dripping sugar water on their words I hear them hissing their lies stale breath and foul blood that spills over the earth over the newborn sprouting blossoms and tender leaves covered with frost climbing upward engulfing me in false visions and dying lust suffocating me dank and ripe with death what more do you want? there is nothing more to give |
startled by the moon
the wispiness of rain tickling as it walked across the tiny hairs on my arms fleeing from life flickering in the distant midnight plains stretching shadow and taking me over birch and under ripples of iciness singing in the stars blinking against the brief brilliance of youth only to pause and sigh within the unending stare and gaze and glare shivering to tempting music unheard unfelt by bitterness expanding engulfing souls of those who live and will not see |
