Infant Heart

In the darkness 
candle light glows 
eyes close 
the box has no walls 
walking in circles 
pacing like a cat with intention 
and nothing fits the way it once did 
nothing is as it once was 
future holds the untold 
cradle the infant heart 
carefully ~

Band Of Gold

Bands of gold 
fall silently 
in a slow motion 
blur 
and time slips by 
without exception 
to the rule 
and nothing speaks 
louder than truth 
being told 
fingers wrapped 
desperately 
around the past 
pried loose 
gentle words 
spoken 
easing the pain 
while candle light 
softens the blow 

...it's time to hold tight and time to let go

Your Lips To My Soul

...dance slowly
seductive song 
of lost lovers
sweet senses 
to all that vibrates 
interchangeable 
slipknot 
wraps a cord 
neatly around 
heart sings 
without accompaniment 
never skipping 
a beat 
one note 
repetitive glance  
takes me forward
listening quietly
for words
whispered in the dark
soft hushed tone
pressed passionately
from your lips
to my soul...

What's Missing...

"....it doesn't always have to be this way..."

Little voice inside my head
sings a song low key 
off beat far left of anywhere
slipping from addiction 
to obsession
no matter what rolls 
in or out with the tide
early morning light
shines ever so brightly
and the truth remains 
silent lovers tiptoe 
past an open shade 
never throwing shadows 
on black granite of your grave
tranquil vibrations of an open vein 
desire can dismantle 
better judgement 
left for another day
defenses up 
when times get twisted 
and decision can't be made...

I continue to question, what's missing...?
