You hold my breath
I possess your tomorrows
Emitting destiny's air

As I stand before you
I can see past forever
When you think of me
Know I reside in your smile

Where there is distance
When there is pain
I'm waiting here

I'm not letting go
To this love we have found
So precious
So real
So ours.

Today I give you my heart
My life in your hands
My promise that angels exist
Because they brought us together.

Nature requested an element
A bond that distance can not divide
Stronger than the turbulent sea
Containing charms that surpass coral and urchin
A growth to rival the redwoods
With the delicacy of newborn breath
An essence to frolic in
A nurturing sanctuary
Nature was granted this gift
This gift was love
This love
We have been granted

You came bearing flowers
Replacing the reaper
With two blue irises
To see past death

You called upon walking giants
To storm across desolate plains
And fought a fortress of
Silent snipers


And yet still
I wonder
How did you get in here?

Hush now.
The natives are sleeping
And when they see their towers torn
And deprived of stone
It won't be just me alone

I will rebuild with your flame
in my heart
For your outstretched hand
Has been de.light.ful
But before I go
I must thank you


... Ill keep a part of me open now
and ill wait
tIll the world gives up
or we do....

You were so in love with the night
Forevers handbook in black and white

You
mourned my
Expired wishes
and sour moon
My eternal radiation

"Dreams die
So dream again..."
Your respone to my extinguished debris

You
who pocket halos
Shed by fallen angels
handing out
wishing well coins

Insist on holding my hand
Through shadows
When it is I who block the sun


You
Who stroke saints
With syllables
Heavens content

Attempt to strike
sticks together
over my ash
But I will not rise again

But for this
For all of this....

I will always love you

And...
Perhaps it was I who beckoned you
Spelling your name in star soot
then dusting letters away with feathers
Wanting one more dream...

Expired wishes littered the sky
I spelled your name in star soot
then dusted them away with fallen feathers

For even angels shed their halos
Eternal radiat(ion) debris
Testaments fade
Even written in stone
They decay

Noise pollution demolished
For any chord would contaminate
Heaven
Beckoning your syllables
your sound

You were so in love with night
Forevers handbook in black and white

don't worry

I left
the moon....

to sour

Prints scratching feverishly
pine needles pleading
on window panes
envy walking stems

Detached vines perish
brittle. un -nourished
without the shelter
of earth

apocalypse orange
promotes roaming
declining. dying
human mortality

the spruce lay root
into warm refuge
maturing.ripening
by organic mulch

Only the Wind
