A Question Of Pretense What Is
Baggage
Action and Actions
Heating and meting out
The embers from my heart
That you may hold them in your hand,
Breathe on them and spark them
Into a flame
We can burn into Eternity’s body and soul.
You are the architect shaping my dreams
Until I become the dream itself –
The dream only you can create.
Oh Architect –
Be gentle yet precise As you create the me I’ve been waiting so very long to become!
Electricity flows through the line,
Drives through my heart
And splits the moment
Into some degree or slice of paradise.
You have taken the ice I’ve lived in for years
And melted it into it’s own fiery glass.
Sometimes I wonder how I ever lived before you.
Most times I’m aware of the fact that I didn’t.
If there ever comes a moment in my life called “After You”,
I won’t be living in it
Because You’re fast becoming the air I breathe.
So it doesn’t actually seem like it is in the moment.
It lets me hide
Somewhere in between
What is
And what isn’t.
It allows me to surreptitiously live in
What could be
And what should be.
The way it dulls the blade of the knife
Doesn’t allow the “missing you” feeling To cut quite so deep.
I see all possibilities in them for a moment –
For all time, and then
I see only one possible moment.
The atmosphere,
Paints and molds a statue .
Creates a mission
Sculpted at the edges of castle deep.
Left behind
Most assuredly, all negative vibrations
With the brush of your breath on my soul.
I’m a vagrant of love
Claiming clemency from all separations.
The brush of your breath Is the wind beneath my wings.
I’ll never forget the first time I saw you –
So alive,
So effervescent,
So attractive,
So real.
Like steel to a magnet I was drawn to you.
Helpless against this force of nature.
Escape from this moment -- impossible.
I had never asked a stranger to dance before
In a hypnotic spell I stood up
Flowed to you,
Silently,
Took your hand in mine
And led us onto dance floor of dreams
Just outside of Heaven’s Door.
And now – Everything has changed.
Now I’ll say it twice.
It happens fast or it doesn’t happen.
Time and tide wait for no man.
They won’t wait for us.
Time passes too slowly for some
Too quickly for others.
To everything there is a season
And a season unto all things.
This is our season.
We either claim it or we don’t.
Life is ever changing
Destiny calls –
Sometimes There is no choice.
By the extreme feeling I infuse into it.
I’ve spent an eternity inside this unfamiliar ice your absence causes.
I’m aching
For the coveted Silver Thaw
Your nearness arouses.
Come to me –
Come to me.
Your face haunts my every moment. There is no respite.
I mind trace my fingertips across your cheek,
Over your body.
I feel the essence of you.
I swear I can almost taste you.
Touch me That you may touch your soul.
Are you scared of deep emotion?
Are you able to navigate?
Are you afraid of drastic change?
Great things happen
When you put your fears aside.
Don’t ever fear me
I’ll never hurt you.
If there is ever a leaving,
You’ll be the one who walks away. Commitment is my inner name.
It’s a monumental crush!
It makes me do silly schoolgirl things,
Makes me feel foolish,
Makes me feel happy.
The messages on the answering machine.
I save them.
I play them over and over again;
Just to hear your voice,
Just to feel the heat,
Just to feel closer to you.
You have resurrected the incurable romantic I thought I had long ago buried.
I want to feel you press through me
Until we become so lost in each other that there are no borders;
Until there is no other direction;
Until there is no separation;
Until we are one.
It’s a crush. It’s a hard tender crush.
It’s a monumental crush! It’s predestination in all it’s shining glory.
Bend it and shape it
It’s the most beautiful free form structure imaginable.
I yearned for it and found it
Burned it and bound it
Into an eternal flame that can never be extinguished.
The elusive dream has finally come to rest
A tender caress fiery on my breast
Former sins committed now are blessed
At last I see the light The darkness has undressed.
When your heart’s holding mine so tight
I lay myself down in love with you
Trying to get enough of you.
These treasured memories chase away
The cold hard moments of each day
Wrapped up in each other we cannot stay
As the day takes us our separate way.
But then the night is born again
I take a brand new breath and then
We’re tangled together inside this dream
Where our hearts have always been
In the deep dark secret of the night
You make all wrongs come right
In the deep dark secret of the night You are the only light
It’s divine justice.
It’s predestination -
The indelible sort that has to be.
You can wonder yourself through a million Sundays
And never find Monday
OR
You can go with the flow,
See it through
And become the you
Predestination has ordained Do it!
