Just a little something I wrote...

i adore

your bones and the tides that pour

over me, from your eyes.

one look brings me

to the eye of the storm,

chairs and tables rush

past so near.

the sky sheds

his blissful tears;

bodies like meadows

calmed

eyelash-leaves

are still.

The ribbons of sunlight fall from cracks in the clouds.

Oh, the words I ached to utter
Lost in eyes that make me stutter

With your blueberry sweater and your shoes untied

And how I felt I could finally lift my mask

If only I would get the chance

How I want to watch you dance

And defy gravity like a god

And we could dance, for way too long

Between the trees and bluebird’s song

Let the ribbons entangle, your limbs for a day.

Let's move like the wind, between the forest leaves in May.

Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood.

Empty Vessel

I thought I’d write a song just to pass the time;

Like those bottles of wine in the attic of your parent’s house.

Where you wore that dress and we were happier, in out pointlessness.

Now we’ve both grown up, we both took our place.

At the starting line, of this rat race.

You grew six feet tall, but still felt so small

 And for years on end you weren’t seen at all.

But you came back whole, filled that empty place,

With those photos you took and those passport stamps.

You went around the world while I just carried amps.

I had love I meant and there were accidents,

Cold winter nights and floodlight fist fights.

There were years I spent without happiness,

Moving through each day, with no progress.

And I drowned my soul, in this thick red wine;

Just like we both did, in that ancient time.

And the days, they blur, into just one.

My boat floats across the sea of green,

With it’s weathered planks and it’s unseen sail.

This train of life, threatens to de-rail.
