Sailboat:River

I am nothing
But a tiny sailboat
Teetring on the currents of His river
Drifting back and forth
Capsizing when it gets rough
Always knowing
That I serve no purpose on land
Would have no fun on a lake
And be destroyed in the ocean

Drought

The rain never smelled so sweet until the drought of your touch ended

The cold of autumn…

Like the morning flower
That opens to the summer sun
My beauty was with him

Now the seasons have changed
And my pedals close
To the autumn of his cold heart

A different you…

I forgot I didn’t know you
That I knew you
But I no longer know you

I forgot how old you are
And how old I need to think
Regardless of how young I feel
In loving you

I forgot your coldness
How the darkness inside you
Can turn your brown eyes black

I forgot that it takes two
That you are a gentleman
in the coming of adversity
and selfishly coldhearted
when the storm settles in

But in forgetting us
and forgetting you
I remembered me
And all the pieces I knew to be you
Useless in function without you
I remembered originally belonged to me

It’s too bad that you forgot
What it took to be us
What it meant to be us
and I will no longer remind you

Bulletproof

Loving like I’m Bulletproof
You’re still Shooting
I’m still Standing

I smelled you

Here you are
My heart has been looking for you
I smelled you
Even before you climbed into bed
Before you whispered goodnight
Replacing the smile on my lips
With a kiss to send me to sleep
I smelled you
and you were there with me
before you disappear with my next thought
hold me so and melt into my dreams

A Night Sky Filled with Wishes…Poets Rally Week 27

Poets Rally Week 27

 

As the sun kisses the horizon
I keep watch for the first evening star
As she comes forth
I wish for you
And on the next
I wish for us
So continues my heart calling forth each new star
Wishing for all the glories in the world
Each wish calls forth another
So when they come out in pairs
I just send out my wishes in pairs
Never missing not one
Wishing for you the whole night
And when the last star has come out
I watch my love for you extend
To the moon and back
And when my heart makes her last wish
I lay illuminated by my hope filled heart
Feeling you all around me
Awaiting for the heavens to heed my wishes
For the blessings to shimmer down to me

I surrender…

I played you a love song today
Because I missed the sweet joys
Your love supplies my day with
And trying not to love you
Was just too exhausting

The shirt you left…

is my only saving grace
The shirt that no longer smells like you
That instead smells of anguish and confusion
Is drenched in tears and mucus
It’s the only thing I have of you
That can catch my sadness
In a fashion close to the way your shoulder
Once caught my tears
It wipes my eyes dry
With the same gentle touch
Of your hands
The company it keeps me
At night when the misery sets in
Is nothing like your company
But it helps
To have you here
In one form or another

Smoking Gun…

We are two with identical hearts
Each with a bullet hole in the center
My gun still smoking
His long cold
