Infinitely

 INFINITELY 

 I can be poison

 I can be pain

 Instead I sit inside

 And wait

  

 All of your words

 All of your ways

 Still I wait

 And won’t go away

  

 To feel your heat

 To know your wisdom

 What I search for

 Wait and wish for

 I can feel poison

 I can feel pain

 Beaten and broken

 Still won’t go away

  

 Decided I stand

 Wait for the world

 To find us, to take us

 Away from it all

 Together we are

 Infinitely – It all…

"Dirty Lies"

 DIRTY LIES

 Something dirty lies in your hands

 Concealed from sight when my eyes drifted away

 A thought inside a whisper

 That was not understood

 The dirt from a buried thought

 Of the lies we never knew

 Wash our hands of this despair

 Brought by someone

 From another place

 Whispered words are never spoken

 Whispered words that are not real

 Screams that leave a scar

 Mistrust never, never

 But hearts are broken, aching

 Our hearts bleed such tears

 The fueled desires of others

 Dirty lies, to break us

 We will not make real

"Sleepless"

 Sleepless

 I feel your mind

 It does not sleep

 I hear your thoughts

 Crawl up inside me

 I feel your hand

 Beneath the sheets

 You toss and turn

 But don’t move at all

 Your hand grasps

 For mine

 You need to feel

 Some life

 You feel so cold

 So alone

 Although you lie

 By my side

 So distant

 You become

 So far your thoughts

 Can chase you

 How lost in them

 You find yourself

 I can take you in

 Hold you

 Close

 To my skin

 Feel the warmth

 That I give

 Feel the warmth

 From within

 My thoughts

 Weave through yours

 Your eyes yield access

 To bring you back

 With each breath

 That we take

Simple Heroes

My thoughts are with those who lost theirs lives ten years ago today. 

My thoughts are with their family, friends and loved ones.

You will never be forgotten.

"Nothing But Paradise"

Nothing But Paradise

  

 It is our paradise

 Still, lingering, senses alive

 The softness of the world

 In which we lie together

 Moving each time

 To find ourselves

 Still wrapped in embrace

  

 Push my hand into the sheets on my bed

 Implant myself as memories in its shape

 Move with its movements

 Change as it shifts

 Creases always flow to you

 A world we make upon my bed

 An island – Far away

 We stay stranded for a lifetime

 To pray nothing changes

 To hide together, forever

 We chase each other through our minds

 Lover to lover

 Word for word

 Match sensations

 Our time together does not end

 Nothing but paradise

 We will hide
