Lonely

I tried to grow my shadow
But it slowly faded away
High noon sun melted away my dreams
Of not being alone

The Time I Grieve With You

Let’s laugh and forget our memories of similar sorrows

We know the pain

Though similar, will not be cured today

But comfort will be found for the moments of reflection

We don’t compare or even consider each other as a playing card

And instead use each other 

As a game piece to help move past the game of life

Or as a ladder to climb 

Above the fogged mind and get a good look

Around the parts of our lives we may be missing during

The time I grieve with you

Sand Between My Toes

Beneath the pavement is the beach

I’m so excited it’s so close to me

Beneath the concrete there was always lying sand

The Kiss

A kiss to the air

Floating free

Dancing between misery and sorrows

Touches softly upon your sleeping head

Peaceful grace

Swaying between tender and warm

Rest well and peacefully

Dream only the best

The kiss settles on happiness and love

Be There

I can't predict today or tomorrow. I can't see my nightmares or dreams before I sleep. I can say I know I'll still be hurting every time I'm awake.
I can't wait for the day I can protect you in some kind of way and still be by your side. Happy or sad, mistakes or promises, I wish I could be there now.
Your eyes tell stories of wonder and delight. Your spirit was a shining light. I followed it to the point you could no longer shine, I took it from there and created fire.

Hold Today

If I had to run away tomorrow
And none of you could come
Would any of you support me
Knowing I'll always be gone
Never speaking to you again
Maybe once in about ten years
Please hold me as close as you can
Cause I may be gone tomorrow
And I'll be missing you
Through tears that you'll never see
Through words you'll never hear
Through my heart pounding and you feeling it years later from the wind that caught word years before
So hold me while you can
Hold me while you know me

Let Us Feast

An empty cup sits in front of my thirst for you
My parched lips have reached for taste
I can't settle for any other

Your love is a water
That brings my body alive
Creating an energy that nothing can define

Your eyes full of hunger
My soul filled with food
Let us feast

Dream Catchers

My rested eyes lay upon you

Comfortable and quiet, flickering dreams

My eyelashes full of wishes sit and wait

Until it knows the perfect one to grant my soul

As one floats toward my cheek it whispers it's secret

 

"The perfect dream is to wish for her kiss"

 

If you listen carefully, you can always hear the secrets,

That your little dream catchers live for.

Encouragement

My shadow starts the day behind me 

As I lead it forward and always one step in back

My shadow catches up and is beside me

As we take the day at each others' sides

My shadow ends the day in front of me

As it encourages me to stay moving forward

Like I had in the dawns early waking
