The breath of my soul
knows
each step you take
each word
you speak.
My heart knows
it beats
to
the pulse of yours.
Skipping a beat
when you smile
caress me.
My eyes see
love
so great
it can’t be contained
in this
my body.
You needn’t speak
a word
for
my ears, my eyes
my body
know
I love you
And
you, you take care
in
loving me.

Courtesy comes
And
Does live
In the heart of heaven
I know it is.
I can see it happening
I can feel the bliss
Here beside me
In this, this life
I live.

Closely, slowly
we move
through the jungle
of
our life.
Crossing
treacherous waters
seeking
quiet respite
in the midst
of
turmoil.
Making
adventure, happiness
the mainstay
of
our life.

Coldly
I feel
frigid fingers
enclose me
letting no one
nothing
help me.
Coldly
I sit
in
solitude
shivering.
Coldly
I take a step
on
the icy precipice
knowing
my heart may sink
fall
into eternity.
Yet
I proceed
all alone
coldly.

No can say
what’s happening
today.
No one
but then
that’s okay
cause
what would we do
if we knew
the unfolding
for
this coming day?
I suspect we’d gasp
run away
trying to hide
from
what’s being described.
But
we should know
it’s never
all bad.
There in
the tearing brambles
is
sweet nectar and flowers
to keep us content
all day.
So yes
no one can say
what’s happening
today.
And
I personally
think
it’s better that way.

Weak
and
feeling strong.
Not much
can I do
that could be
wrong.
Let me be
the one I need
the one that’s
me
the one so strong.
No matter
if
sometimes
it seems wrong
so wrong.

Don’t tell me so
don’t let me know
what
has happened
going to be.
Let me
find
the answers
on my own
my way.
Don’t destroy
heaven’s trail
heavens
way.
I need
to travel
there
quietly, silently.
Rejoicing
when I see
the light
the way.
Don’t
tell me
don’t let me
know.
I’ll find it.
I’m sure
I know.

The stakes are high
the way
curved
follow the one
already
proved.
No one
will blame you
No one will
criticize.
Be patient
it will come
it will be
like
a blessing.
The end
the final outcome.

You left me
feeling
not so good
your sarcasm
I never
understood.
Your sharp, cutting lies
made me
feel
I should not be
alive.
Your smile
was
wicked
it made me cry.
I pretended
I too
I
lied.
To see you go
was
a relief
no more anger
accusations
no more
grief.
May you find
happiness
somewhere else
all
by yourself.
And
please
please stay there
so far away
from
me.

Somewhere out there
You be
Living, loving
Being the best
You can be.
I must find you
I must be
Like you
Loving, caring
Full of beauty, curiosity.
