In Search of Sleep

Come and play with me
but butterfly wings have
fluttered
close and the beloved has flown
a world away
blown to the edge of
the world
in light and more darkness
I wait for sleep to overtake me
in its infinite cover
and find myself a relentless dream
wild stallions flying in the wind
for love's grasp has loosened
and caught in
the angst
of forgotten dreams
the rain falls unhindered
lost I seek solace
which at long last
arrives in the last wave.

Existence

All at once my journey falls into a rhythm
at crossroads I have come upon
an epiphany of minds
my love I have lost my faith
only to see clearly than ever before
I thought I had lost an eternity
only it was just within the grasp of my
hand as all roads lead
up to where we are
so thousands of other lives and dreams
are just reflections in the mirror
I kept all my hopes in a box
and stowed it away
longing to forget
to set free the truth
and find a harbor safe from the winds

I will seek you in the desert
for life has become
as fragile as a silken thread
fate plays her hand and leaves her cries
blowing in the wind
the light in the dark as secret as the
life that grows inside of me
that fills with trepidation yet
overflowing happiness

The winter of my heart has come
and blurry visions of the days past
my heart has gone to lie
under the cold earth
silent

The Storm

Droplets of water
rush down from the sullen sky
they cling to the glass they slide
rivulets down to breathing earth

the gaze in the misty glass
light flashes over moss and stone
instantaneously thaw the still night
my word my song

wash away

breathe and break
the chains

to the one left behind

The Secret Garden Revisited

Far away the golden days
when summer plays in my garden
My secret place where
grows the things closest to my heart

And time stands still

Falling around me
The sky falls and along with it
My dreams lie in wait till
another year and another dream
Has come to pass

Twilight

Twilight in the violet seas
Intangible the route to take
Falling thick the night
With curtains of silence
All around these invisible strings

Knotted around the hearts we collect
Resonate
Away they come with words unspoken
Perched on that white-washed wall
Waiting to see who goes over

I am one that oscillates between the truth
And beyond
Have we our expressions numb from
Icy cold winds whipping into our eyes

Too much to risk from coming away
This vantage point
I watch but forbid myself to believe

In hope that rises from the
Seas of eternity
