Yearning

A melancholy silhouette

stands in solitude
'neath an overcast sky
shivering as cruel winter gales
thrash through her barren limbs
and yet..
they remain outstretched
patiently waiting
a myriad of buds
once more to grace her boughs
and devour her loneliness
in the rebirth
of spring....

Rain

Slowly the world becomes dark.
The wind whips her hair around her,
Moulding it to her face like a second skin.
She tilts her head upwards, catching the first
Raindrops as they fall to the parched land.
Closing her eyes, slowly inhaling the smell
Of wet earth.
Savouring the moisture on her skin.
As if the tingle each drop brings,
Is like the electricity mirrored in the skies above.
The heavens thunder, like nature angrily grumbling.
It starts to pour, raining so hard that the drops
Bounce back off the ground making it seem like
It's raining from above and below!
Smiling, she looks around gleefuly.
Drenched to the core, but strangely, at peace.
With the world.........with herself!

You

Was lost
you came and found me there

No hope
you showed me love and care

Was down
you reached your hand to me

I lied
your truth would set me free

I ran
you wouldn't let me hide

I cried
you dried the tears inside

I dreamed
beside me you dreamed too

I love
and it's because of you...

Storage Space

I rise in the morning,
And you occupy my day.
When night falls I watch the sky,
And wonder if you're okay.

I have you on my mind so often,
Daydreaming in the clouds..
I catch myself above a whisper,
Thinking of you...out loud.

When I'm caught in the rain,
I feel you on my skin.
I hear your breath,
As it travels with the wind.

Saying I miss you..
Are words any one can speak.
But it's the emptiness I feel inside,
That brings me to loneliness' peak.

And maybe it's not meant for me,
To rest with loves embrace.
Maybe my hearts had enough,
And is now only storage space.

Still, I dream about you,
And suddenly you are here.
A fingertip away...

Then you disappear

Phoenix

The death is corroding all beauty and light
The sun slowly dying, gives in to the night
An age for the darkness is waking at last
All beauty is sickly, and fading too fast

But in this mortality, freedom arise
Soars in new dignity, before its demise
A last dying riot of radiant day
A colour eruption, before fade away

The skies in rebellion, whilst lead to their death
Scream of new beauty in their dying breath
The leaves, though the ghosts of their ancestors shade
Wash vivid in colours, eternally made

All existence and living, rampage afore fall
The freedom of Autumn, before cold conquers all
The phoenix of season is fading too fast
The age for the darkness is waking at last

A thousand wishes

I'll love you
As long as the sun continues to rise
The birds remain in song
And stars light up the skies

A thousand times I've wished for you
Many nights passing with no sleep
As you move through this heart
I feel a love so deep

Not once have I forgotten you
Or drifted very far away
And though some time has passed
I still love you the same today

When the rain falls outside
I instantly think of you
As the moon shines in all its beauty
It's you I fall into

Each laugh that we have shared
Every tear I have cried
Late nights spent together
Are all still here inside

Things we've shared, I treasure
Never will they depart
And I will forever love you
As you dwell inside my heart

A thousand times I've wished for you
Staring out into unknown land
And no matter what tomorrow holds
I will not let go of your hand

Reverie

I wish to dream the day away
Lost in thought of yesterday
When tender lips caressed my skin
Drew me down and pulled me in

Those eyes that spoke of raw submission
Mind and body, requisition
Demanding hungers, unquenched thirst
Pounding hearts about to burst

Alas the ringing wakes my mind
I'm back at work and undefined
Within the crowd, just a face
A secret lust I can't erase

I bear the minutes, count the seconds
Through it all your memory beckons
Soon I'll race to be with you
Living what my daydream knew
