Let us bleed freedom and cast off our mortal cage, for heaven awaits us, to grace its page.
Gracious Words.
Many moons have passed since then but I remember it well. There were no butterflies or shifting plates. It was just you and me and the silence of engaging lips, coming together for the first time.
It was like I had been walking through life without taking a breath until you took it for me or diving head first into foreign waters without realizing the extent of its depths; you cannot feel the ground below nor see a way back and every second feels like an hour until finally you breach the surface and fill your lungs with oxygen.
I found out how life tasted when I found your kiss.
I want to be with you, be lost in your eyes,
be held in your arms,
I need not disguise,
the feelings I feel, the thoughts that I think
my fluttering heart
as it now beats in sync
with the heart in your chest
where we two become one,
our spirits entwined
as the moon to the sun,
we exist for each other
the day to my night
my darkness bows down
to your angelic light;
that radiates love and allows me to see
that you’re my forever
and forever I’ll be,
the one who will love you
with all of my heart
for all of eternity
as I have from the start.
pockets of time where time stalls
and the space between us
is drawn into insignificance,
as if fate’s very own hands
had created a black hole
and swallowed the distance
between us.
In these moments, I sit and watch,
not with my eyes but with my heart
as you sculpt the silence into
something so beautiful, it tears
away all shreds of reason
leaving the sweetest sense
of belonging to crawl beneath my skin.”
Like winter’s serrated breath through
the crystalline veins of the Black Willow,
hollow bones tremble neath
the weight of misplaced whispers.
The haunting hush reverberates
within me, filling the emptiness
like some dark cancerous lullaby;
killing me softly and to the beat of your heart.
As tears weep from sobbing wrists
my fading thoughts carry you with me;
to rest, to peace, together
tonight;
I let you go.
I often lay awake at night
watching you traverse your dreams;
my arms around you, squeezing tight
embracing love supreme.
Yet I find it hard to close my eyes
for each time that I do
I fall beneath the rising tides
in a sea of missing you.
Withot ever changing
seconds sccmb to hors,
one day at a time,
night after nightmare filled night.
Songbirds sing the saddest serenade
of tea and toast for one
whilst the morning sn morns
the loss of its morning sn
and I see no end to the darkness
of another night with only
yor scent on my…
I often lay awake at night
watching you traverse your dreams;
my arms around you, squeezing tight
embracing love supreme.
Yet I find it hard to close my eyes
for each time that I do
I fall beneath the rising tides
in a sea of missing you.
The silence slices through my soul
with surgical precision
and leaves me full of doubts
and fears
and painful indecision.
I cannot read between the lines
but sense that something’s wrong
I really need to feel you near
back here where you belong.
My heart measures our distance
with strength and depth of ache;
your absence slowly killing me
it’s more than I can take.
Yet here I sit
and wait for you
to find your way back home
to complete the heart that beats for you,
I’m lost here on my own.”
Your eyes deceive you, my sweet
for you are not the reflection
that pains you so, the sadness
painted in your smile.
You are so much more
than the woman you see
and this is why I love you.
And love you I shall
as if you were carbon
pressed deep with me,
lost in time,
consumed by the fire
ignited by our first kiss.
And with time
you shall love you
as I do
and emerge as
the perfect uncut diamond
to my rough.
