Catching Waves














I had hoped for a stream
A calming constant
Quiet undivided incessant
Steady next to me
But his love crashes like waves
ebbing undecided forlorn
An eruption today
An abyss tomorrow

 I wanted the north star
Holding my sky in his hands
Bright and austere at once
Ever lighting my bleak universe
But here you are
The shooting star
Ablaze with all the warmth
Then all at once, overcast

A Hundred Thousand Steps

 And just like that  It's ten years back  And the muscles of my heart remember One step forward, two steps back The mirrors. The reflections. The cracks One step forward, two steps back The eyelids that quiver The thoughts that shiver The heart that pounds in your back It's ten years back Run away, I hear Don't face it, you know what's on the other side It grasps me, the fear Run away, don't face it. You'll always have to hide It takes one moment of courage To change your story One push of a button One closed door now open After a hundred thousand steps It's ten years back And I'm walking on the other forked road The muscles of my heart still remember The eyelids still quiver  Two steps forward, one step back But now I know I have my back.

Let it Set

 It burns your heart Doesn't it? The setting sun The rust and honey Piercing The last rays Memories gilding Let it set, honey Cause a little darkness Don't pull it up again Let it set, honey Let this one set  For another to rise
