Water ebs and flows,
Crashes into,
Drowns, corrodes,
Always finds a way
To go around,
Or through, or over.
Just like life,
Just like love.

Our worlds, a knot,
All bound together.
Brush a string,
Feel it tremble
Through all that we love —
All we kept,
And all we lost.

Dreams to live,
Loving to do —
Who needs sleep
If I have you?

The fuse and the flame,
A dance around the tinder —
Flirting, teasing,
Casting sparks
To burn the house down again.

You and I,
Punch through,
Punch through —
The end is nigh,
Freedom looms.

Loose ends and paper trails,
Through the marshes
To my happy place,
Cut and bruised,
But with a big smile on my face.

Lives entwined
In strands of time
Barely long enough to measure,
Yet, we both already feel
That I am yours,
And you are mine.

Golden dawn in ghostly veil
Sets the frozen earth aglow —
I marvel at its wonder
And know happiness.

All eyes on me,
The stage is mine —
It's showtime.

My patience,
My tolerance,
Deeper than many,
But even I am
Running on empty.

Fate, the divide
Between plans
And intention,
The unguided hand
That decides which desires
Are not meant for the light.

Deliberate steps
Towards a future
Bright in promise —
I will not let
All that once claimed me
Hold me back
From what I want.

Imprints of affection
Echo in absence —
Even not here,
You're everywhere.

Parting with a smile —
The tale of you and I
Will continue soon.
This is not goodbye,
Merely intermission.

Set sail in open waters
Under clouds that fly on by —
Anchors up, nothing will stop us,
But these waves may take a while.

So small, yet, so
Profoundly alive.
Looking up
In storm and rain,
To watch the thunderheads
Fly by,
Happily joined
In blessed serendipity —
We're stronger than this,
You and I.
This too, we shall survive.

Crippling agony,
Blinding inability —
Not accepting new realities.

A promise of eternity,
Captured in a sea of love —
Meet my eyes and smile
A brand new world for me.

Of vapor lust
And Soylent dreams —
Not everything is
As it seems.

Anticipation,
We've waited
So long.
I've got
So much to give —
Take it all
Before the moment’s gone.
