Delicate

Ethereal 
Floating in darkness
Missing already
Another moment passes

Two shades of light
Is all that falls
Within the lines
All else is naught

Gaze surpasses
Image in sight
Only sees face
Smiling bright

Sitting in ghostly
Shapes tuck closely
In viewing rooms
Surrounded by you

Cornered by want
Titles reveal
Reflections haunt
Time to steal

Empty spaces
Under glass
Echoing words
Of the past

Clutching at
Elegant moments
Awe and delight
In full view

Feeling blue

Heart Shaped Box

What lies inside?
Mysteries unrevealed
A bit of snuff?

Who has they key?
Locked behind glass
Curious enough?

Return each time
To stare at the space
The mark of divine
Dwelling emptiness within

Shiny delights
To sit perfectly
Attend to thoughts
Of another time

Trinkets of mine
Held by hands
Erased
Potence of wealth
Abstain

With love

Once upon a story

Mastery of the will
One step at a time
Stopping me from
Suspending rhyme

Unconsious games
Tend to the mind
Leaving all behind
The storyline
Is you

Silver words
Stick to the tongue
Measured in spoons
Of unending love

The only story
To write
Between the sheets
A double edged knife

Prolific dripping
Mesmerized sweet
Not an eye sees
Silent ending

Comfort words
Never reaching
Ears intended
Soft receiving

Still quick wit
Over dining tables
Immeasureable
In the mind

Ink for the quill
Divine

Navigating the stars

Lights out
Dark as ink
Red light blue
Sinking deep

Stillness
Ocean swill
Moving us
Closer

Into the unknown

Swing the sextant
Neverending horizon
Promises never reached
Sunrise sheds light

End of the world
Beers in bars
Raise your glass
Ticker tape parade

Air and water signs
Breathe a torrent
Refuse to shine bright
Still earth revolves

Around you
