when

what will you think

when you hear my voice

screaming in whispers

choking

cannot hear myself

explain reasons for sleep

or waking

and this night not really

telling myself the truth or

never telling it

rippling water

words

words

words

has there been so many spilled

that here i sit

without them

and nothing since i met you

is as it should be

take that as you will

the shrouded city sleeps restlessly tonight

sad

that you should illicit

any feeling now

any

thing

the snow falls upwards

the rivers run dry

for that is what is left

thinking of phrases that someone might like

someone other than me

and it still says nothing

says everything

looking into rippling water

It is this night

late as always

sending air kisses to the moon

there it is

there is something

something more

waiting in the wings as it were

telling me secrets

feeding me lines that will forever be forgotten

no more eating from the hand

released for the day

relinquished for the feast

on the brink

of making a discovery

tiptoeing to eternity

about to lock lips

and here i am

swirling in a world of

endless possibility

eating of the normal life

awaken

first to the tower

the sun reflects
illuminating your petrified face
the years made sure
and this wayfarer stares
one day years ago
but fast in this heart
the way you looked that day

flirting through the stay
all the time that could be spent
spying you from vantages
secret moments
no one knew

how is it
after all your years
and the few fallen
on this young crown
that your solid form
should still illicit such
feeling
stirring deep

and these words
spilled before the masses
will never make one stir
as the breath taken
caught at your sight
and then lost
forever a gift to the unknown
waiting until we lay eye on each other again

Only You

oh the glory
seeing new moon
again
waking from a long dream
days asleep
days away from you
days and nights

slowly
slowly you lift my head
slowly you open my eyes
slowly you teach me to speak
say the words laid on my heart

the words you created me for
the love you created me for

wading around in the life you created
wading around in ecstasy

wading around in you
you
only you
