Love Through Winter

Posted on by

Ah

But I breathe.

I hear a sigh escape your lips

As you see the colors too.

As you see the wind pulling the leaves from the trees.

They do their final dance for us.

 And they return to the

Earth

That nourished them.

Some ride the wind so delicately.

Others seem out of control

As if fighting the pull of gravity.

Ultimately they all fall.

We endure.

I feel the warmth of your skin

As

You move closer.

This knowing between us,

It is time to hold each other.

This sorrow,

We must let it envelope us

If we are to ever love through winter.

A Thousand Dreams

A thousand dreams

We held ransom

In the night.

A thousand stars

Fell to the ground

And scattered at our feet.

Some,

(In such haste to join us)

Burned themselves out in ecstasy.

And there we lay amongst them

Enraptured souls entwined.

Two lovers consumed

(Consumed as one)

By the light.

The stars were ours

And we were theirs.

(Oh but my darling we are the stars)

All other memory

Fades.

Blink

And you write it all down

Because

You cannot tear it out of your skin.

Looking to the heavens,

Waiting to hear the Angels sing.

Hemorrhaging.

Hurling yourself to the ground.

Trying to keep your eyes open as you sleep,

But your mind keeps seeing the memories every time

You

Blink.

Your head left your heart for dead

While you were

Dancing with devils in the dark.

Bargaining and begging

With yourself for love.

Feeling like you are going to pieces,

Falling apart.

You think you would do anything to empty your heart.

But you won’t.

You know you wouldn’t.

I Knew Him

I knew him then.

The boy.

The child.

I knew him when the sun played on his shoulders.

When a glance at the clouds above would set him free.

When nothing could stop him from

Dancing

Or

Smiling.

It is as if another lifetime now.

I do not know what happened out there in the world.

I do not know who stole

Delight from his veins.

But I do know

Whoever

Stole it,

They did not take it all.

For

I see it in his shadow.

Atoms and Cells

Posted on by

There is this burning in my belly,

This aching in my breast.

I struggle to keep my heart contained

Within my chest.

It is just the thought of you,

For you are not even near.

It’s just my atoms

And cells

Retain

The body of you.

Come home.

My heart will not stay still much longer

For

It is not where it belongs.

It’s just

What I must endure

While I am

Imagining

You here.

I am

Aching and breathing.

I am

Aching and dreaming.

Apparition

Posted on by

You must have been an

Apparition.

A made up someone in my

Imagination.

For I wandered these stone stairwells

And

I roamed through

Winters withering garden

Following your song.

I knew I should find shelter,

Somewhere to warm my core.

But once outside I could return

Inside no more

For

I was met with barred windows and

Locked doors.

 I found you in the courtyard.

I tried to reach you.

Touch you.

You vanished as I approached.

My fingers now cold and frozen,

I,

Left dreaming in the fog with ghosts and snowflakes.

And I remained alone

As I was all

Along.

I must have mistaken the

Wind howling through

Windows and doors,

Through

      Winters garden

                                For your song.
