Darkness
Spiraling towards the abyss
That remains in our mind.
Uneasiness settles
Tentatively reach out
Stroke the night
Feel it on your skin.
Embrace the blackness
And forget.
Nothing to fear
To love or to hate
Just empty solitude
In the warm onyx breeze
Contentment yours.
Just as you learn
To accept tranquility
In comes paralyzing
Cold and brutal daggers of
Light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come a little closer darling
Let me hold you in my arms
For when you are beside me
My soul begins to warm
Basking in the glow
Of happiness within
To stay this way forever
I'd give anything to win.
I try to act all nonchalant
But I feel you see right through me
You seem to read my very thought
On how my emotions yearn to be free
I don't understand what it is you do
To make my mask come all unglued
Whatever it is, please don't stop
For nothing else could ever top.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pause as our lives flow quickly on by:
Do we enjoy the love and times we share?
Savor each moment and show how we care?
Or is it squandered then left out to die,
And we end up confused and asking "why"?
Instead of laying our heart and soul bare
We build up walls without doors, hardly fair
To show who we are we're too scared to try.
Then lucky am I to have someone who
Helps set me free, to have myself be true.
Knowing each other in the love we give
Understanding for holdups we now have
A deeper connection, a soothing salve,
Letting us be able to love and live.
