Eyes open through broken dark
catch the flickers of her spark
stoke the embers as desired
bring the heat, launch the fire
don’t sit, don’t waste, its time to start
theres many moments, countless parts
truth’s been drafted, this you know
we’ll peek inside life’s inferno
burning passion, you’ll find the heat
joyful saving sorrow you’re soon to meet
promise to yourself, promise to me,
you’ll take that leap to destiny.

The tidings may come
with rubbish and debris
the Sunsets covered
in pissy misery
when you can’t even look to the mountains
through the fog and drear
remember all you found beautiful
was never more than a mirror

The late night nothing man speaks again.
He’s watched the poet, listened to her words sing,
calling to the lakes and the ivy, the shimmering summers,
the heat from heath and the drumming sputter on the window panes,
His eyes ache, he’s weary, worrying as worriers do,
the hours sail and the days doth follow, the mountains grow, the flowers snake,
his words wont come and hers won’t linger there’s nothing more but to wait,
for sleep, for slumber for, tomorrow new, and pray the poets muse
will sit with him, take his hand, and share a secret that may give him quiet.

These are the days i look for
time slipping quick, rushing
with the words and the work,
not dragging past while i kick,
and scream, when the hours are
no longer anon but now,
unfolding upon me, blossoming
happily.

Suddenly daydreaming,
watching the raindrop ballet
dance atop the puddles,
the drizzles patter, the piano’s
resonance, the memories of dinners
where you’d play in the living room
in tempo to the clatter of the kitchen,
and then i’m to her lips, her smell,
how different it feels having her close,
and i’m back to the window where the
raindrops streak, wondering where the hours went.
