And here I return
To the red dirt.
Return to the stillness
In me.
To the place I first found peace.
And my soul does weep
As again
The sand does slip through my
Hands.
As the earth
Does settle my soul
With its beautiful Song.
The healing of time
Reawakens
My desire to climb
Back to the stars
And beyond.
Love and light,
Earth and air,
Combine to provide
The current so that I may glide
Higher and higher
To places and desires
Eternal,
Yet to be journeyed
By my heart.
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.
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.
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.
Let your fingers linger
On my skin.
Intoxicate me with
The rhythm of your heart.
Bury yourself in the
Unsung
Depths
Of a passion
Begun in the soul
Unknown
Until this moment.
Held in the heart,
An awakened
Secret waiting
For this spark
To ignite
And take on a life
Of its own.
Catch my tears
with your cheeks
As our lips
They meet.
Inhale
My breath
Into your depths
And don’t forget
The path your
heart drifts
Is no longer alone.
Memories of
the soul
Always
Return
Home.
Unknown to you,
The depths you have stirred.
The fire you have ignited in my bones.
Unknown to you,
The longing that was my company.
The emptiness I called home.
Unknown to you,
Without touch
You have aroused
A sleeping soul.
I can’t tell you where to go
I can’t tell you what to feel
Maybe
You did not know.
Or perhaps you
did not listen
To the true depth of sadness
In her voice.
The exaggerated laugh.
Maybe you felt you had said all there was to say.
Maybe you looked away
From the broken heart in her smile
The silent plea
In her tenderness towards others.
The quiet tears
In the reach of
her fingertips.
And now you’re left
Shaking your head
And wondering
Why
Sometimes even
Angels
Cannot save the flesh and bone
Of a soul
Who longs so desperately
To go home.
In the silence
You were listening
You knew right away
You heard my heart stop beating
And looked at me to say,
Chole Into Diamonds
