Soon Till Later

Suspended in this knot so tender
Afraid of nothing and everything
I'm the real thing, not a pretender
Won't you come home to me?

I don't know this path I'm on
Roaming around, a desolate fawn
Love has been a good friend of mine
Though it was not always roses & wine

The broken vase is on the mend
Gentle repetition firms the cracks
love has always been my glue
I hope to sail, even if all is through

Returning to affinity when in vicinity
conversations laced in delicacy
Why to reminisce when we can see
Change is so strange and so are we

I lie out in the stonefield
Beneath the balmy night sky
Barely draped fabric around
Waking up the ghoul so shy

The stars don't judge out here
Skin caressed by the moonlight
I feel understood by this care
floating away in this dead space

I know the words held deep down
I know the dance of its sound
I save it within me as I leave soon
I don't have much time but I wait
Swayed and swept till later.

Far and Hard

Nocturnal habits
dimly lit by the dying embers
Careworn tapestry
revealing fresh secrets
Burning hallowed ground
only 'you' unscathed.

Distant hearts shouting
fragments go desperate
goosebumps behind the neck
calling for magic to save
belief so secure
it turns to faith.

Treasured flight of wishes
tumbling, back to free fall
leaky closet full of hope
polluting you
still you call it back.

"No,I don't know."

Can you take the ship?
shackled by fate
yet so free
to choose it.

Further Way

Goodbye to the sky we shared
as it bursts open wide,
we are painted blue.

Now we will fly freely
keeping the fire inside
casting the familiar streets behind.

We don't have to try
to change our small worlds
so we keep floating
in search of that distant light.

Walking with our dearest friends
spending a whole lot of our time
placing us in that glowing road
the only place it leads,
to home.
