Sometimes

Posted on by

Sometimes
These
Feelings creep to
The top,

Thin,

Sharp

Boundary

Of my heart
And they start to dominate.
They take over the air that I breathe
Corroding the whole of me.
It’s like a hazmat scene
Inside my soul
Unsafe for anyone to venture
And
Well,
Nobody knows.
So I retreat
Where I can do battle
Alone.
No other casualties
Allowed
You see.
I refuse to take
Anyone else
Down with me.

Consider

Posted on by

Have you ever considered?

Has it ever crossed your mind
That some of the quiet people,
The ones you think have no opinion,
Have been slapped around
Have been shoved around
Have been belittled
And made to feel so
Insignificant
They believe
Their voice makes no sound
That their opinion has never mattered.
They have been
Gagged and bound
And pushed down to the point
Of suppression?
Maybe they are quiet
Because of the chaos
They have been
Through
And peace is the only thing that will save
Them.
Maybe they have almost run out of air and
They need the
Breath
They have left for living
Not words.

Drift

And so the tiredness settled into her bones.
Long had been the fight.
Sorrow had been her burden for too long
Confusion had blurred her sight.
With heavy heart
She lay herself down
In the daisies
And stared at the clouds above
Allowing the earth to cradle her bones.
Oh, to be a cloud drifting so weightlessly.
Nothing but the air to
Kiss her body up there.
The silence so clear up high.
To glide
Upon the wind
And breathe harmony
So free.
To drift and never return
Below…

While We Can

Posted on by

The sun is going down
And kissing us goodnight.
The moon is shining high
Lending us her light.
We love under her guidance.
We dream.

The summer air caresses us.
The universe
She cradles us.
Our hearts they beat as one.
It has begun.

You and me
Were always meant to be.

So what do you want to do?
Where do you want to go?
Tell me your love is true.
Tell me you want to know.

That I’ve got a little secret.
I was going to try and keep it
But your eyes, they are sparkling
And my smile, I can’t hide it.
And your laugh it is addictive
It stirs the music in my soul.

So let’s love while we can.
Come on,
Take my hand
And let’s fly
Higher than we’ve ever flown.
Where beauty steals the
Air from our lungs
And never look down.

Spark

That hope that once lived inside,

That burned you up
And set your dreams on fire
Where has it gone?
Where does it hide?
That open heart that gave you wings
And set you soaring above the
Clouds
Where has it gone?
Why do you have it bound?
That love of life
That quickened your heart
And lightened your step
Where does is sleep?
Why must you keep it
Hidden in the dark?
If you must,
Borrow my spark
And together let us
Reignite
That sleeping
Fire in your heart.

My World

In my world,

You keep your eyes down low

And opinions to yourself.

Don’t you dare start a fight.

In my world,

You keep your heartbeat quiet

And tiptoe around corners

So as not to disturb the false

Serenity.

In my world,

You stay on your knees.

Make yourself as small as possible

And do what does not need asking.

In my world,

You dream in the shadows.

Become the shadows

And hide any shiny hope you treasure

From thieves

Who have none of their own.
