Demons

Standard

Today is a day

Of battling demons.

They wait quietly

For the opportune moment.

The moment my guard is down

And my heart is open.

They,

With their steely

Black appendages.

Slowly creeping undetected.

Slithering

Into dark spaces.

With one abrupt move

They wrap their thorny tendrils

Around my heart.

My mind.

My spirit.

And drag me down into

Unfathomable depths.

The voices outnumbering me.

Outwitting me,

Until I become the silent one.

Choking on their insanity.

I Am Found

Standard

You touch me

And I hold my breath

Not wanting to make a sound.

Your eyes hold me.

They keep me up.

I find I’m floating

Above the ground.

Your soul whispers

“Come out and Play.”

In response

I cannot stay.

I am found.

Your heart plays a melody.

I find myself dancing

To a song that has been silent

An eternity

It seems.

Your lips speak my name.

In response

I will never be the same.

I am whole.

My Heart Can Soar

Standard

My heart can soar to the stars to meet you

That way I will never be far.

My heart can soar to the moon to meet you.

Tonight would not be too soon.

For over the mountains

And across the seas

The soul can travel with ease.

Through the woodlands

And into the sky,

The soul can do what it please.

Though destiny brought us together,

Will destiny keep us apart?

No matter because

Whenever, whatever

You’ll always be in my

Heart.
