My Journey

I see the light.
It seems so far away
I don’t know how to reach it.
Will you help me?
Will you come on my journey?
Help me through all my trials
laugh with me through all the happiness
cry with me through all the sadness?
Will you be my rock
as we walk through the sand?
Will you be my compass?
to help direct me in the right direction
when I become lost?
Will you be my voice of reason
when my sanity frays at the edges?
Will you be my one and only
as I will be yours?
I ask you now
because if you come with me
if you choose me and my journey
there is no turning back.
There is you
and there is me
and there is the end
What say you?
For I start
now.

Bits and Pieces of Love, of Loss, of Pain

Never Forget, You Are Not Alone

Open Your Eyes

I try.
Every day,
I try.
Yet,
it’s never enough.
I see what I want,
feel the rush of love
a warmth that envelops me
soothes me
lifts me.
Yet,
I cannot reach you.
Don’t you feel it too?
Can’t you see
all I want is for you to feel
what I know is true
what is real.
Fly with me.
All you have to do is
open your eyes and
see.

Trust

You want me?
You can’t have me.
I cannot give you what I do not own.
Tread carefully
for the one who claims what you seek
will not take kindly to trespassers.

Is it trespass
when I know what I want
you want too?
Let me free you
Break the bonds that chain you.
Trust in me
Trust in us
Trust in love
Trust in fate

Never Be Far

Tea for two

Apples are blue

When the night sky alights

I think of you

Come to me

When daisies can see

I will give to you

Kisses so sweet

Lie with me 

On angel’s wings

Promises of true love

I will sing

Listen if you must

To serpent’s lies

See the truth

Within my eyes

Tea for two

Apples are blue

Wish upon a star

I will never be far
