LET US JUST BE

I lie down

In your arms

Entwine my fingers with yours

Gaze at the stars

Feel your chest rise and fall

And just be.

No words need to be spoken

Let silence not evade us

Let peace not elude us

Let us just be

And everything around us be constant

To stay like that forever

What would it mean?

to be together, forever?

It is Utopia

As nothing is constant

Not you, not me

Not the world around us

Perhaps things are just not meant to be

Between us

Yet,

I lie down

In your arms

Entwine my fingers with yours

Gaze at the stars

Feel your chest rise and fall

And just be

A GLIMMER OF HOPE

It hurts from within

When I fail to dance

Pour all that I feel

Into a jarring performance

Stretch my arms out to the skies

Point my toes to go underground

Something there is that I am looking for

That I haven’t yet found

I try and reach out

Yet, I get it all wrong

I might have to start all over

I know I have to stay strong

There is a glimmer of hope

My hard work will surely pay

Someday, everyone will watch me

While I glide across the floor and sway

IT GOES ON...

It goes on, Life goes on,

You don't stop for anything, anyone.

Walk the streets like a zombie, 

Wish I had, on me, a gun,

Not to shoot anyone but myself, 

It was my fault alone.

I knew I was walking on fire, 

Yet I washed my feet with oil, 

Oh and how it burned!

Every part of my muscle and bone. 

It was something I had anticipated,

Yet avoided all the symptoms.

The end result is here, 

Black, burned, bruised.

But Life goes on, it goes on,

You don't stop for anything, anyone.

THE WAIT

When on my lonely strides

I dream of your face,

Beaming and gleaming

in the soft moonlight.

How I long to see it,

Again, and caress it with both hands,

Blow a lock of hair off your face

Gently, and see a smile appear.

Trace my fingertips

To your lower lip

Deciding the right moment

To cover it with mine.

When my hands drop

To my thighs, I turn away

From you, to leave

You pull me back

Our bodies colliding

I shut my eyes, while you

Lift me off my feet

closer to your heart

And my lips, parted

Them having waited for so long

For your touch, for you.

I exhale, dreaming of your face,

I imagine, just imagine

How I long to see it,

Again...
