. the sun is setting .
the cold is coming in

the dew of tomorrow has begun to wet the earths lips
leaving her sleeping and awaiting the trials of a new day

a rose on a stone wilts
petals falling lusciously to the ground
turning to scattered memories of
yesterday

♥

oceans rest and calm
tides lower and swallow their pride
birds sleep and
the stars shine

but in my arms
is a cold tomorrow

a shadow

burdening me with false promises
cold hands
and painful songs

in my arms is a wishful thought
of a hope that cannot exsist

for between you and i
there is a plethora of reason
reasons to look away

♥

the moon is radiant
and full of life
gleaming with a greedy smile

if i look up at it
i can almsot feel your eyes staring at it too
making me feel safe
like i am not alone int his universe

but

i feel we have fallen astray
closed our eyes to the moon
no longer wishing upon the stars

the stars shine with pride
sending each wish upon a dream
making a smile on the faces
of those who pray

an ashtray for the devious

my wings have fallen apart
and they rest in your hands

i watched you place them in a box
and wrap them in a black ribbon
summoning them when you missed me
so you could fly to me on stolen wings

so beautiful

♥

you have a way with words
a way to make me smile

but you have a way with your hands
the weight of yesterday sitting in them
the shadow of tomorrow in mine

so different
and devious

yet we have come together

i can feel your heart in mine
each breath
each mellow song and lonely harmony

i feel hollow and alone
detached with an intracate needle
but i cannot be detached

♥

we have an ocean of blue above us
a sky of green below us
and between us is the twine

that connects your sweet heart to mine

a row os dandilions have bloomed between us
the yellow almsot like a sun
bright and full of life

a smile on a baby's face

we stare at each other
offering the other our yesterday
and our tomorrow
pains that can never be solved

sensations of the flesh

♥

the sun is rising
the dew is melting

a rose blooms in place
of the old one
the grave is glistening in its imperfect beauty

the ocean comes to life

and when i look at you
i can see

you hold me wings in your arms
awaiting the dream that will sweep you away

fly on stolen wings
and borrow my love
it is eternal
