These empty days are barren without you in them
Long stretches between sips of cool refreshing water
A nomad stretched thin in this desert
Starving in the beige and brown
A drink away from madness
A step away from sanity
One last grasp
One last act
A chance burst full form on the hot desert wind
her
Nerves exposed
What words to speak
when split path future sits in
muddle by the roadside
abstracted away in pictures
In others melodies, others lyrics
lost but found
what should I do but all that I’ve promised
Nothing
Nothing but the hollow echo
Of times passage
And the deft grasp
Of our souls
Entwined

Meet me in the midnight sky
Meet me in the midnight sky
My love
My light
My heart
Dance with joy and kisses
Oh dancer of the midnight sky
Oh kiss, oh love
This absence tracks salt and wet
Once mortal, once get
Smile gently
I cannot, will not forget
When I was blind
It was you
When I was scared
It was you
When I was lost
It was you
It has always been you.
Some journeys are merely longer than others

I’m on my way
Sometimes the only strength we have is to get up and keep going
Languishing in limbo we see no way out
But a comet is coming
It’s far away
And it feels like it’s not coming fast enough
But it’s on its way
Your star is coming
It’s coming as fast as it can

Haunted blue skies
Dancing the periphery
Stomp, step
Words spoken like settling mist
Blanketed, kept safe
The storm awoke, embrace
Keen voices rise and fall
Remembrances suffuse the all
This hope breaks the dark dawn
But I’ll hold you close
Soft warmth, beating heart
Butterfly lips, and truths

Enter the fray
I’m having this problem where I can’t write because I’m happy. An envious problem to have but it makes all this noise just a bit harder to pull to signifier. Because the well of black feeling erases under the thought of you. And plans for the long term slam into place like bank vaults but it’ll be a minute before they’ll open. No swift thing, no arrow, no soon over thing. Instead a juggernaut just getting started, focused on an us. But still, my words spill out, only into your ears and not for the wide. I’d sing you aloud and scream to the sky. Reminding the deep blue of times gone by when they were dust and stars together and they were being fed up with the dawn. We are bound and bound by choose and choice and the hard truth a hand in hand, facing a future side by side

7 words to make you fall in love v. 3
I will listen and try to understand
I have health insurance, I’ll add you.
Journey begins with my love of you
I’ll keep you safe while you fly
I understand your desires. We’ll get there.
A book read, a song sung. You.

Arpeggios string by string
The notes wash over
This collection of sounds
Becoming music
Almost by chance
Almost
This series of steps
This waiting
This finding
This being
This burning
Soft consonants and sonorous tone
Set me aflame
Choice by choice
Her and her and her
Set us free
Fly together
Sweet song

A blade needs a battle
I’m a prize fighter bent on destruction
Last prize in a fight I’ve been fighting my whole life
Fight for a soul to be happy
But not my own
That may be beyond my power
But this I can do
Always in your corner
Looking for your joy
Might not be with me
But it doesn’t matter
Some wars must be fought
For the ones in our hearts

We wake to the pleasure of our hearts-1
There are times where I must consider myself a beast
To desire to obliterate your self to satisfy my need for your pleasure
That you desire this as well gives me pause
Because I must consider myself your champion
A dark soul, a brightly burning messenger of the night
But yours
Not as a blade because this is not your necessity
But your tormentor
Your jailer
Your lover
Your protector
I must consider the line to walk between the obliteration of the self into a object of control and service and lust
And my ability to bring you back from that brink
And whispers sweet somethings
Engage in passion behind mere pleasure
And sit reading a book aloud for storytime
You are a joy I never thought would be
