He Can

Standard

Fearful of his own greatness,
He holds the gates within his  heart
Shut,
Locked with disgrace.
Hiding his own gifts.
Afraid to be overcome by the flood
Of all that he is.
He is
Beyond thoughts of those
Who surround him.
They cannot place him in
Or out,
Up or down.
He is everyone
And
Everything.
He is more than a soul can dream.
If only he believed this enough;
He would realize he can breathe
Anywhere.
Any depth,
Any altitude.
He can breathe.

Nevertheless

Standard

I got the news today
That a boy
I love
Died.
He never knew
I loved him.
It was the love of a young teenage
Girl
For a young teenage boy.

nevertheless love is love

 

His smile made
My heart jump
Out of my body.
A boy whose spark is burned in me.
No regrets here.
Just thankful to have
Been so near him
In this life.
To have felt his touch,
To have heard his laughter
And experience his
Soul.
Love always.

For You

Standard

the tremble in his voice

the ache in his heart

his blood and sweat

the reach of his hand

His strength as he stands

you have made his world beauty itself

he has walked this earth to see you smile and carries you everywhere with him.

his dreams

his heart malleable in your heartbeat

his eyes

his soul for you

all for you

 

Always Held

Standard

I have been the waves that carried you home

When you were lost at sea.

I was the the rain that fell upon your

Weary head

And

Quenched your thirst.

I have been the desert that left you dry and helplessly

Crawling;

The oasis in the sand.

I was the sky that held you up so long ago

And the stars you have wished upon.

But

In this life;

I am the arms that hold you.

Yes,

My heart has always held you.

Sinking Ships

Standard

We were two sinking ships

Who could not quite

Reach each other in the squall.

Too

Overwhelmed and lost;

Arms too weakened to hold

Anyone but ourselves

Above the crashing waves.

Oh how I loved you.

And the crashing thunder

Roared pitilessly

Drowning out the sound

Of my breaking heart

As I,

Myself drowning,

Helplessly watched

You drift out of

Sight.
