let me praise


let me praise
your dazzling eyes
beautiful smile
gentle touch
 
let me praise
your warm embrace
featherlike kisses
enchanting voice

let me praise
this hypnotic love
wanderlust dreams
peaceful slumbers

teach me your ways

will you teach me your ways?
how you spin stars from silver threads
how do you paint the sky so beautiful?
what magic do you use to wipe away tears?

will you teach me your ways? 
or will you hold onto you secrets within
I only that you don’t keep me dangling
I may soon lose my grip and fall down

in isolation

spring should bring warmth
to my skin, flush away blues 
collected on long winter nights
instead I sit in solitude, watching 
way too much television
they say a danger lurks outside,
wanting to grasp my lungs
I sit, waiting for this darkness to flee

the last kiss


under cool moonlight
your soft lips caressing mine
making my heart swell
we did not know it would be
the last tender kiss we share

purpose


all things have purpose
or that’s what I tell myself
life is all fated
a path we can never change
I like to think otherwise

close to you

all I wanted was
to be close to you
to stand in your presence
allow you cologne
mingle with my perfume
let us walk among stars
watch sunrises and sunsets
let me cover you
with kisses until the wounds
heal and find love again

space between us


our journey road, long
space between us grows vaster
strain to hear your voice
echoing against mountains
carrying soft words of love
