A sigh escapes her lips
As she watches the world from dark eyes,
All the while hating the silence.
...
I said to my love
'Do you ever get to rest? '
'No' said he.
'I spend my life at your side.
...
Starting with old and new;
Strip everything apart.
Away, my love, away,
...
Forsaking all my thoughts to sleep and the stars
While my heart circles in skies not seen before.
I linger, as a bird, in twilight, for all the dark hours
Spent escaping a dreamless sleep, the hateful roar
...
The sweet scent of a distant rose,
Clouds above in the summer sky,
Out in the fields where a warm wind blows.
...
Gone are the days when I freely spoke my mind;
I haven't written from the heart in a long time.
I turned from my feelings, fearing what I'd find
If I dared to admit it; to love her is a crime,
...
White wings ripple the surface
Of a lake overgrown with brambles.
Stars twirl overhead, regal dancers
In the moon's warm spotlight-
...
These days grow dark
Though palled not as before;
Awake, awake and fly,
Fly to the sacred place
...
Empathy
It's an odd thing.
There are kind strangers with
...
That was the past
This is now
This is the future
