Not Here to Stay




With that girlish grin, eyes locked on him, she heads in his direction.
Unprepared for this moment, he reaches out.
They embrace.

Melting in his arms, she fits like a glove.
Clinging to him - he pulls her in closer;
air cannot pass between them.
All is right in the universe, right now.

Exhaling, she leans back.
Gazing into his eyes.
Caressing his cheek.
He holds her waist.
Both smiling.
Laughter. Love.
Realness. Relief. Reality.
Sadness.
Silence.

Letting go. She walks away. 
Neither looking back.
Tears.

NOT HERE TO STAY..

Faith & Forever





You don't know this me; I barely do.

He pieced me together differently.

What was meant to destroy me,

demanded diversity.

Crushed but not crumbled.

Brokenness is temporary.

Love My Shadow


Surrounded by silence - still & strong,

   drowning in deepening darkness.

   Whispering walls,

   echoing your very essence.

   Hearing your heartbeat.

   Bound by body, yet unable to breathe -

   following you, your flow,

   giving chase at times, but cannot be captured.

   Can't touch or tell - trusted til forever

   Unshakable...unconditionally tied.

                 I. Got. You.

                     Always.

                In all ways,
            Love my Shadow

Moonlight



"In day time we investigate, but at night believe." 
~ Henry James Slack


Lying here, surrounded by darkness.
In through the blinds, creeps moonlight's sharpness.

That moonlit beam, oh so inviting;
It's vantage point, even more exciting.

It shines on your beauty,
while serenading your feign.
A place to hide your ecstasy,
while exposing your pain.

Cringing at morning's sight, but energized by the night.
Tired all day, constantly craving the moonlight.

No inhibitions, no fear...
Greatness is possible here.
