joy
your smile
dazzling eyes
brings such joy
to my life
I dream this
love will last
until we
fade into
light stardust

I want to believe in promises
I want to believe in
every word you promise
I want to believe that
everyone has some
goodness in their heart
but time and time again
I’m left disappointed
in the action of others
yet I still believe that
goodness is still out there

I don't want to forget
I don’t want to forget
my mother’s perfume,
my father’s steady hands
or my brother’s laughter
I don’t want to forget
the first kiss under moonlight
the way my heart quickened
under the gaze of his brown eyes
I don’t want to forget
standing beneath the Eiffel Tower
riding the Tube in London
or viewing the Caribbean Sea
I don’t want to forget
all the good times
not allow them to fade due to
heartbreak or disappointment
I don’t want to forget
I don’t want to forget

in all the lights
daylight breaks across
the autumn sky ushering
in a new day
trees of brown, red and
gold comes alive
in the daylight
the crisp air tingles
our skin as we gaze
into moonlight
we whisper to starlight
before we close our eyes
to dream

reconciliation
rift between us
wider than oceans
being the adult
extending a branch
healing deep wounds
our words inflicted
still holding hope
sunrise in distance

string
how many times will I allow
your charming smile to string
me along when I should be gone?
how many times will we fall
for every white lie they tell us
slipping the wool over our eyes?
hopefully not until the end of time

as the leaves fall
under skies
cobalt blue
the leaves fall
in hues of
orange, red
yellow, brown
and my heart
thinks of you
that last kiss
now fading
away like
summer’s bliss
