My Longtime Friend

So many years between us
but what now?
We're both so different
from who we used to be.
Those summers spent together
in the woods, so long ago...
Enchanting. Intriguing.
Nostalgic. Long gone.
We can't go back.
We're just too different.
And yet last night,
you said you love me.

Woman Wasting Away

A life too full to live
No time for
Relaxation
Reflection
Recovery
Romance
To much to do
To much to give
Waning
Wanting
Wasting away
Wishing for just one free day

Solivagant

My muscles work to move me forward
But my heart isn't in it anymore
Another day I get to live
But my heart isn't in it
Another meal
Another job
Another man
Another responsibility
Life continues
Earth moves on
But my heart isn't

Don't break

Legs moving forward
Heart heavy
Just keep moving
Don't think
If you think,
you will break
If you break,
you will fall
Heart heavy
Too heavy
Don't break

Daydream

Cloudless clear blue skies
River flowing by
Daydream of many things
Wonder what life will bring

Dreaming of us
Dreaming of you
Drifting along this sea of blue
Flying high
Falling low
Where should we go
Where can we go

Soft breeze not a care
Sweet flowers fill the air
Daydream of many things
Wonder what life will bring

Let's Find Time

Time and place
Enchant
Embrace
If we had the time
I have the place
Re-meet
Romance
Post encounter of chance
Unexpected
Desired
Sparks ignite a new fire

Ferocious Melancholy

The wind surrounds and pulls and bites
Enchanting in it's ferocity
Then comes the cold dark sleepless nights
Devoid of all velocity
Hell's frozen fury fills the air
It whips and stings
With all it's might
Melancholy and despair
Fills these cold dark sleepless nights
Time moves slower
So it seems
I lie awake
Praying for sweet dreams

Kept Apart

How can you be so close
Yet feel so far away
It's like I'm chasing a ghost
When no words come my way
I know we had something
I know it was real
Do you understand the way that I feel
We once were so close
till you drifted away
I miss you the most
but what can I say
I know our time was short
I know we must be apart
But darling I hope you know
You'll always have a piece of my heart

Valentine

Would you be my valentine
What if you knew the real me
I wish that I could call you mine
And tell you all my secrets
We could be together
For just a little while
Or maybe forever
I know you make me smile
I want to let you in
I wish that you could see
Exactly who I am
And who I want to be
Would you be my valentine
What if you knew the real me
