Can We?

If all we have is time can
We spend it together?
Forever
If all we have is love
Can we offer it endlessly to one another?
Faithfully?

If all we have now is all they'll ever be
Can we create our own world in the midst of this storm?
Can we be the house built on stone?
Or are we on shaky ground?

If we long for each other the way our lungs long for air
Can we start over when we miss the mark?
Can we forgive one another for the darkest evils
Or will we let love die alone in our sin?

If our hearts beat in time
Can we love beyond these bones
when all the world is gone
Or do the words "I love you"
only mean right now?

Can we love through our pain?
Can love really save us?
Or are these the ramblings of a hopeless romantic?

Can you see my heart's tears?
Or will you only add to her obituary of Love's Lost.
Can we stop time with a kiss?
Or does it only stand still when we touch?

Can we be Love's example?
Can we shine Love's light for the world?
Or will we be another cautionary tale of love gone wrong?

If we can be all that we hope for, our love will save the world
Or at least bring hope....
Hope for the hopelss...Romantic

North Star

I want to be his North Star.
His constant light
That shines through the dark of night.
Giving him direction.
That ever present compass
That leads him back to peace

I want to be his North Star.
An undeniable presence
that forever guides him towards
What is righteous.
What is just.
What is good.
What is beautiful.

That the mere sight of me
feels him with complete love
And warmth
And in that moment
He knows he's home.

I fear not death
Not the end of my own life.
I know who's I am
And where I am bound.

AfterLife

But I fear the death of the ones I love.
The pain that their abandonment brings.
The emptiness cast into the souls
Of those left behind.

After. Death.

The gapping black void
Within the house that was once a home.
The tearful lonliness
The sleepless nights.

I know far to well the pain Death brings.
And learned it at far too young an age.

Life. Afterdeath

I saw it shatter my world.
I watched it rip through my life
With hurricanic tenacity

I watched storm clouds gather over my soul
Memories of my loved ones
Vanished.
As if they never existed.

But the nameless void still remains.
Unplaced.
Undetected.
Unresolved... Issues.

Death. AfterLife

Wholey Broken

To clear my mind would take a miracle large enough to create world peace...
To etch u outta my heart would b like erasing my memory.
To keep me away from the love I feel for u is like a mother never touching her newborn child...

I'd perish...

I perish at the thought of life's joy without ur smile, that softens every horizon and brings a new day...
The sweetest defeat is to surrender to ur touch.
Then I drown in sorrow as u fade and take ur love with u.

To forget our past is to forget my present, whose pallid existence reminds me of ur departure, ur abandonment, and my lonliness....

To long for u is an understatement...

My DNA is uncoiled. Eyes blinded. Brain dead. Heart... lifeless....

Fear engulfs me and takes me under as I sit and wait for ur return...

Spirit lapses...

Mirror shatters as I look to see my reflection...

No longer me...

Just traces of a good girl.....
LOVE STINKS

Your Love was the Key

Y didn't you tell me?

That the glow from you heart was made for me
Instead, you kept it away from me.

So into another's arms I lept
But his love wasn''t mine
Like the one you kept.

He wasn't you.
The you for me that I needed.
His love was dark
And kept my heart from beating.

A captive.
A prisoner.
A sailor lost at sea.

You were my Prince Charming
and you love was the key...

Y didn't you tell me?

Ernest Love

Come warm me with ur fire.
Send ur love coursing thru my vains.
Touch me in places of deep that no man has ever tamed.
Let ur love be eternal.
Beyond fear or doubt.
Thru that we'll b immortal and love's flame never doused
