Chips in the Glass.

Distant radiance, wishing

it were near, 

Somewhere out there, why

not just right here?

So much to question, but 

question not, so the

voice explains, 

Heart open, spilling all

that remains, 

Don't tread there, for

its' all lain bare, 

Hiding in shame from

eyes that stare,

Yet somehow they

care, 

Please, not forsaken, 

just avoiding the

glare,

Explaining those scars, but

only for you, 

Please, don't tread there,

don't tear this heart

in two, 

Trust, so hard, but

an effort so

true, 

Opening this heart

for you, 

Radiance, out there, just

a shadow cast

down, 

Reaching beyond this

place, hoping

not to drown, 

Please, don't save

me now, 

Just open your heart

and let me in

somehow...

Protecting Sanctity.

Tide, burst, remembrance
long gone by,
Word of the speechless
plastered on the
sky,

Essence; what was there?
Patience,
Vibration toward greater
transcendence,

Questions unprepared
though the answer's
given,
Locked on course, heart
and soul driven,

Ridden to the other side
and back,
Upon a knee in grace;
defenseless? No,
attack!

Forcing through toward the
sun's peaking crest,
Six down and the seventh
to rest,

Four points and then
four more,
Sword down, who's
keeping score?

All said and done,
at peace right now under
the sun,
Sanctified and resting as
one...

Expressions.

Changed, reborn, renewed

energetic on a path

unworn, 

Unwind, rewind, fingertips

caress, contours 

undefined, 

Expressionless hides emotive

frequencies he

rides, 

I love you, no longer 

unsaid, 

No longer behind these

eyes, 

No longer living in

this head, 

Open and free just for

you to see, 

Just for you, for me

to be me, 

Nothing more true, 

just for you...

Strange Dream.

Time zones match in
wake and dream,
Walls shift and morph.
engulfing darkness
scream.

Wandering, groping,
it will give in a moment
or so,
Out of body, lost,
died just a moment
ago.

Daylight just beyond
the horizon,
Dream no more comes
that realization,

Laughter beckons toward
paralysis,
Just another step in
metamorphosis...

Beyond the Sun.

God cares, somewhere up
there,
Gaze hard through the
sun's punishing
glare,

Not alone, follow along,
and the circle remains
unbroken,
Words long left
unspoken,
Yet that circle remains
unbroken,

Somewhere up there,
Eyes burn and lay all
bare,
Wash away and leave
no care,

Want to say that I
love you,
Through her heart you
ran me through,

Never seen before that
light in life,
Under your knife, cutting
away the strife,

I know now, its' never on
my own,
Through those eyes I'm
shown,

Ghosts of things long
left undone,
'til that day that we are
one,

God, laughter and
wakeful under the
sun...

Angel's Key.

Epiphany in the eyes

of an angel shimmering

green, 

Lacking naught for want

of nothing but

this, 

Eternal bliss in the arms

of that sleeping

beauty, 

Quest without cause 

somewhere in

higherness, 

Free of stress, elevating

toward the stars above

the conscious

plane,

Somewhere, subconscious

in some heavenly mind

frame...

Miracles.

Adored to the end, and stitched
to the last,
Caught in the wind, isn't it a
blast?

Shocking satisfaction without
the need,
Just want and patience, sowing
every seed,
Just another, the other, gladly
does it bleed,

Stabbing the depths of this
soul,
Gazing true and mending it
whole,

Up to that sky thankful in every
breath,
Experiencing rebirth in every
little death,

Joyful to the pore, alas, to
the very core,
Dancing feats galore,

Miracle in the moment, that
moment you showed up,
Worry dissipated, comfort in
a tea cup...

Call of the Wild.

Bequeath that which silence
brings,
Beneath, the harmony accordingly
sings,

Shifting, call of the wild, eyes
set, nose in the wind,
Decent, inwardly blend,

Meeting on those plains
out there,
High above, the law lay
bare,

Transfixed, that pulse
deep inside,
Sit back, just along for
the ride,

Travesty, an essence
beyond wild,
Clawing deep, that
lost inner child...

Familiarity.

Familiarity with another 

soul,

To find what's missing, to

once again feel

whole,

Lost in a gaze, soulful,

those eyes, 

Never a haze, green,

they realize, 

Smiles, ceaseless, in

happiness whole, 

For miles, endless, familiarity

with another soul, 

Goodbye is hello for just

a little while, 

Step to step, just another

mile, 

Walls break down to let

what's missing enter, 

Familiarity with another soul,

finally found its' center...

Key.

What's this? Upside the head
like a bag full of bricks,
Striking the heart in one single
jolt,
Emotional embers sparked by
a solitary bolt.

Heart and mind taken in mere
thought of that face,
Negativity shattered, gone
without a trace,
One act, one beat, lost deep
in the moment's pace.

Though uncertain, its' certain,
everything has reason,
Through changes of the
season,
Together toward cohesive
fusion.

Entranced not by lust, but
love,
Thankful, looking high
above,
Whisked away on the wings
of a dove.

Complete, now, in heart and
mind,
Shattered darkness sought
once to bind,
Comfort in her face, her voice
so kind...

Enchanted.

There is Divinity in the beauty

of those eyes, 

Fear not the tender touch,

fixated holding no lies, 

Swayed by mere presence,

lost in your essence, 

Simply drawn and

entranced, 

Enchanted and lost completely

right there, 

Embraced in that moment,

open, bare, 

Lost in those eyes without

a solitary care, 

Fear not that tender touch,

lots in those eyes, 

Rest assured in gentle strength

it holds no lies, 

Come back for another

moment, 

Waiting, yearning in blissful

torment, 

Just to hold that gaze 

again, 

Embraced in your essence,

enchanted speaking your

name...
