Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation

I feel like a stranger
in a secret land
a universe created
for love, and my love
alone, he put his heart
into a void
to light my way home

wake up

I would think I was just a part of your dream
but, you were the one who came into mine

Tree branches scrape at my window and I can't help but wonder
If that's how you would come for me, in the night, like an animal
Or if you would use the door and walk in as if you owned the girl

But the days of you coming back for me are gone now
And all I'm left with is the emptiness and the silence in my heart

I have this theory that nobody actually needs me to say anything
because everything I have to say, can (and will) be found somewhere else
and I'm ready to hear something
more

Pomp and Circumstance

Would that I could tell you everything
But you expect words, while I am trying
To speak with hands, with steps, with clarity

The snick of paper touching, of words parading
This is how it sounds when my heart is calmly beating
Its exposure and explosion cannot be caught in a snapshot

The Mermaid and the Prince

If I lost my voice
would you recognize me when
my heart comes calling?

this is the moment in your dream

right before you wake up

the light is shining on

everything, you see

anything is possible

"so what stops you?"


Only what I think I shouldn't do.

Amnesia

the short story goes
a dear friend conspired to help me remember
who I was, when I thought I never knew
(I just have to follow my heart)

Negative Space

I just want to hear what you have to tell

The Spectacular Free-Fall

but those are the things
of dreams and fairytales

all I believe anymore is that
 you came back
just to watch me wake up

I light up from the inside
but I am afraid of fire and begin to choke it out

you dance with me, at arm's length
keeping me, just inside your personal space

stay in time with me, I will follow if you lead

Unconsciously

I've built a dream
 so elaborate that
it speaks to me
 and I believe
it's real

I miss so much, too
but I never know what to say
what to do, to get through to you

Perhaps I should say more and talk less...
