Dare

Standard

Dare to drink
The poem
That is me.
Dare to let
My moves settle
In your soul.
Dare to take me
Whole.
Lie with me in grass of green.
Dream with me in clouds of white.
Dance with me in days of wonder.
Dream with me in nights of slumber.
Feel this life upon our skin.
Drink the untrained passion
Hear the pulse of satisfaction.
Ride the endless heat
In this divine existence.
And you will know
You have the
Steadfastness
To dare.
Take me whole.
I dare
You.

We Were New And Wild And Full Of Fire

Standard

We
Were new
And wild
And full of fire.
Our blood pumping
Through our veins.
Couldn’t wait for our feet to hit
The floor.
Run out the door
Fly and play
Always waiting for the
Beginning
Of a new day.
Cheeks flushed
With promise.
Words gushed
From our hearts,
Full of hopes
And dreams.
How we did not heed
The words of our elders
“Enjoy the moments. Savor the feelings.
For before you know it
They are gone.”
What did those fools know?
We knew better
When we were

New and

Wild and

Full of fire.
Now my body is a little colder
My bones feel a bit older
My blood is pumping a little slower
As my feet
They hit the floor.
Now I’m not so eager
To listen to the ticking of
Time.
All these memories of mine
Locked in my head.
Seems I’m left
Dreaming
Of those days.
Those days
When
I was young and wild and full of fire.

Break Free

Standard

Unleash me.

Let me be.

Let me breathe.
My wrists are raw.
Bleeding
From these chains.
I’m ready to do it,
I’m ready to break free.
So you have hidden the key?
I’ll chew my way out.
Break my teeth
On the cold metal
Rings.
Slice my hands
On the spikes
That decorate
This collar.
I’ll rip these
Restraints
Off the wall
And drag them down the hall
Wrecking everything
In my reach
Leaving a trail
A bloody mess
Of myself
If I must.
I’ll break down the door.
Off the edge
I will leap
And soar
To be kept by
You
No more.

And Then

Standard

Love.

Cosmic infinity.

Beyond words.

Our souls were one

Before the birth of

Twilight.

When the stars

Were sleeping.

Still

Yet dreaming.

When the dust of the earth

Drifted in space

Searching and longing

For a place to meet and

Create

The beginning.

Before.

When the air was dark.

Still heavy

And craving.

Wishing only to be

Inhaled.

Completely consumed

By

Light and Love.

And then,

And Always,

We were

One.

Sing Me Home

Standard

Sing me home.

I hear your voice

Soft and faint.

Urging me

Guiding me.

I know you wait

Patiently.

I may climb

I may crawl

I may fly.

I may never grasp the reasons why.

But in the souls journey,

There is not a clock.

Time does not exist.

What feels like an eternity

In the inborn need

To unite

May be just

A blink

Of the eye

To the

Flesh and Bone.

Sorry

Standard

Sorry if I flinch

When you make a sudden movement.

Sorry if I recoil

From your touch.

Sorry if I jump in response

To an unexpected noise.

Sorry if I don’t talk

All that much.

Sorry I can’t look you in the eye when

You speak to me.

Sorry if it seems I

Utter words in whispers.

Sorry if I am too sorry

You see,

It’s become

First nature

For me.

The Oceans Edge

Standard

I am going to sleep

And in my dreams I will meet you

On the oceans edge.

Where the waves come

To kiss the shore

And stir the sand.

There I will stand.

Where they greet each other

With a never ending caress.

Never to rest.

They have become the motion,

The waves of the ocean.

Always coming back for more

The waters crave the shore.

Traveling the curves of the

Earth

To Embrace.

Dancing with grace,

Ever longing

For the magical song of the

Moon.

Bag Of Flesh

Standard

What is this beating heart

But a simple bag of flesh,

Meat and muscle?

How does it rule my every thought,

Every breath so?

It’s only job is to

Drive

Blood

Through these

Thirsty viens.

Instead it has overthrown my mind

Taking charge of

Every move,

Every decision

I make.

Speaking it’s own language

I do not comprehend

Yet try desperately to understand.

I yearn to interpret the beating within

This skeleton cage.

Somehow it wanders.

Somehow it roams.

It escapes me,

This heart

Trapped in bone.

Still it makes me laugh.

Still it makes me cry.

This senseless beating

Echoing

Throughout.

Within

My cage until I die.
