my heartbeat (poem)
an ageless question I ask myself
who am I if I’m without
(more…)
for F and Y
There’s a moment, beautiful and new
Where I open my eyes and see you
(more…)
For K and B
the golden sea within your eyes
an innocence devoid of lies
(more…)
For K and B
fire and light within my soul
stand by your side, let this be known
(more…)
For F and Y
let me breathe, I need to breathe
see the waters boil and seethe
(more…)
bright lamp on the wood beside my window
keeping watch with steady eye and yellow
(more…)
So many things that I should write
If words would come, my day be bright (more…)
I gasp for air, a nameless cry
The tears that will not spring to eye
The groans unspoken, breaking free
I swallow them back down in me
drink down the sun, like a golden
beam seeping into my heart
play it again in the morning
draw it back up and restart
joy is one of those things
you have to reach out and catch it
remember the things that you love
in the moments that don’t feel enough
what is the worth of a poem, caught in the hand
the words that tumble over and over themselves
poured out of a heart that’s too full, a mind that’s too loud
maybe someday, somehow I’ll figure it out
the stars along their endless track
shine over ages cut through time
shine in my heart and shine on my eyes
no matter how dark, there is light
For F and Y
I dream of you when I shall sleep
and in my heart, all memories keep
of every day you loved me too
I will not stop from loving you
new days come upon us and find us waiting
hope springs anew within our beating hearts
that today, the daylight finds us saving
all our dreams, and promises come through
