before the dawn

Blood on the leaves

The dawn drew its last breath

The brush gave way to marsh

That then became weary in the cold air

The winds grew calm; cessation a sign of things to come

The sun dimmed. Then fluttered. Then its glow just faded away

The clouds hummed

Their once mighty roar reduced to a faint whisper

Indiscernible to most by the day’s end

And the houses they built

From the edge of the sprawl to the corners of the wastelands

The houses they built just crumbled into the ground

The heartbeat of life stumbled to a labored, rhythmic thud

It would all have been for not

Had I not loved her 

untitled #146

It has been willed so

The convergence set on desire

Of want and of need

Fantasy seamlessly slipped into my sleepless subconscious

Silent thoughts rang out loudly upon a single bead

My heart bleeds and my head aches

And my heart warms and my head waits

For projection actualized

So figuratively close you can literally touch it

One for which yearning can only quell so much

Encapsulated in your kiss

Set a daze from your touch

Lost on a scent

If dreams prevail ill wander until I find you

I wonder if ill find you

the corner (in b minor)

That took a lot out of me

At the brink of the siege

That by which emotions have allotted me

Lost in you

Completely utterly hopelessly lost in you

Time stood still in sunspots

Eyes set adrift upon age spots

A gentle impression of longing left on my lips

Offsetting my core leaving a hush over my being

Leaving me breathless and longing for a moments past

Forsake anticipation for a moment not unlike our last

If I could have it back I’d do it all over again and again 

her(e)

To be where you are

In the literal and all things beyond

To smell the scent of your being

And the nape of your neck

The ripe of your flesh

Sweat beading and pressure climbing

Pulse pounding and hearts binding

Caught in the throes of five minutes from forever

Stuck in the reality of five minutes or perhaps never

Anytime is better than never having felt a touch so sweet

To gaze upon eyes so thoughtfully brown

They cast shadows that echo yearnings that dispel disbelief

Trapped in a hollow dream

Content to remain wherever it is you are
