While We Can
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.
Veiled
Be still
And wonder
At the silent grace
Within your soul.
Do not let the veil of silence
Fool you.
For it is not weakness
It hides behind.
You carry a strength beyond
Measure.
Spark
That hope that once lived inside,
Absolutely
And then one day their hearts met.
And she knew
That the empty space,
The one that could never be filled
Until that very moment,
The one that had been vacant
And aching since
The beginning of
Her memories,
Had been left so
Perfectly
Hollow
By the universe
Just for him
To abide
Absolutely.
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.
Incite
Spoken
I scribble it all on paper.
Sometimes in such a desperate
Frenzy
I cannot decipher it later.
At stop lights.
In bed.
At the movies in the dark.
A voice memo at the park.
At 3 o’clock in the morning
All these thoughts in my mind
Colliding in time.
Delving into
Emotions I don’t always get.
But I know I’m not the only one
On this planet
With nonstop
Voices in my head.
The few lines I have been brave enough to
Read
Aloud;
I have to stop and catch my breathe
To put life into the words.
The first time I
Hear them spoken
The fractured portions of me,
The passion and the fears
Through life and
Through the years
Stir the tears and they
Begin to flow.
For even I myself do not
Recognize
How deep these feelings
Move without restraint.
And the words uttered
With emotion
Sear the ragged edges
Of my heart.
Remind Me
Remind me how strong I am.
Remind me how far I have come.
Remind me how a warm
Hand might feel in mine.
Remind me that the tears
Will lessen in time.
It might take a while to remind me
How to smile.
Remind me exactly what it is
Your soul finds so
Beautiful in me.
Just take a moment
And
Remind
Me.
Don’t Let Them
Don’t let them break you
Darling.
Don’t let them make you sit
Still.
Don’t let them keep you
Inside
Longing,
Staring out the
Windowsill.
Be that crazy one.
The one they can’t explain.
Be that wild one.
The one they say is
Insane.
Don’t let them keep you quiet.
Speak your mind out
Loud.
Don’t let them keep your head down.
Walk tall and
Proud.
You only live once
Darling.
Don’t blend in.
You only live once
Darling.
Be the fire until the
End.
