June 2012

It is still and quiet tonight
The wind chimes have no songs for me
I am quite alone again
No one has a word to say to me
I guess I could talk to you, but what would I say?
Would you even answer anyway?

Thrice (June 10)

If I had 3 wishes,
I'd ask for 3 kisses--
one when I finally look in your eyes,
one before a crowd as it cries,
and just one more as one of us dies.

love is just heartbreak that hasn't happened yet

Love is the dream at night
that leaves you cold in the morning
It's the wish on a star
that wishing cannot bring
It's the oasis in the distance
but a mirage in the end
a hemorrhage of the heart
that time can never mend
It's the promises of youth
destined to be broken
Love is the silence behind
all the words left unspoken
a prelude to heartbreak
a synonym for heartache

May 2012

This place is like a cage
my vision clouded by bars
stuck again in this stage
eyes fixed on the stars
and there you are

Suspended here in time and space
We pass the lonely nights away
We'll disappear without a trace
into the words you do not say
but here we are

These chains were meant to break
These bonds were built to last
but faith just will not wake
though I'm pounding on the glass
and there you are
but it's so far

We can sail across the distance
wade through the words left unsaid
stand against their resistance
and wake hope from the dead
and here we are
It's not too far

damn

friend really is a four letter word
especially when sometimes
I still wonder if it's a lie
and lies are curses all their own

persistance

i have known want
and been consumed
by many other colored fires
that i tried so hard
to keep kindled forever
i've promised forever
and not meant it
i have known many hands
where yours haven't strayed
(the only ones i ever
in earnest believed
could hold mine forever
if only out of naivete)
i'm not naive anymore
i'm scarred and i'm jaded
but this one flame
just does not
go out

ethereal

I'd like to place
my hand in yours someday
I don't know if you'll take it
but I'd like to anyway

and if my hands
never reach to where you are
read these words and be assured
you were my brightest star.

Reach for me
I will find you anywhere
when you depart this world
I will find you even there
