Every morning

I rise with a burning desire Lingering over from my dreams A longing that takes over To see, who remains unseen I rush to wash away My doubt, despair, remorse Adorn myself with jewels Of hope and joyful force For today the silence will break And the veils will fall away For today the riverContinue reading “Every morning”

I live happiest

In your thoughts of me In your prayers for me In your words In your laughter In your mind Where you make me Who I have always wanted to be There I live happiest in your thoughts of me

Light

Some things do not fit The limits of their mould Some songs do not follow The rhyme of each word Some flowers do rebel And they bloom when they please Demand that their story Be carried by the breeze I am of that rogue fire Neither temple lamp nor hell pit Wandering with the firefliesContinue reading “Light”

A lamp

It is the story of a lamp A small lamp made of clay Made in colors of the earth The Maker must’ve had a day It would not even sit still Long enough for the making Unfinished and unadorned Grinning for the taking Picked up by the beggar And filled with oil as if byContinue reading “A lamp”

In Silence

The slow descent of leaves Turned red and gold The fading of colors In memories of old The stars on a moonless night The mountains in place The caress of the breeze The gentle rain on my face The burning of the lamp The circle of light The hope that gives wings To the falconContinue reading “In Silence”

My words

Let my words be my crown Let my words be my cape Let my bare naked silence Use my words as her drape Let my words be my rosary Let my words be incense Let my prayer to find silence Use my words as pretense Let my words be my cup Let my words beContinue reading “My words”

It is I

Today I am made up of salt and tears I can look within and see my fears I walk into the ocean wondering why As I melt away, the ocean is I I burn up bright with hope and desire Just like the light of a raging fire I sit in the flames wondering whyContinue reading “It is I”

Circles

May I?

Lend me your silenceFor I need it more todayI know that I am drunkAnd afraid what I might say Will you hold my words for me If only for a little while Go on and let them kiss you They were born to make you smile
