Between

there are faces, between the hours
the moments spent here, clinging to the truth of a day
the seconds before, life slips away
from the fingers, the clutch, grasped tight
as the heart races, beats, fast, drawn, death is near
in the edge, by the precipice of the ledge
feet, slipping, the will, still standing, in the blood, the sweat
tears, from the eyes, a pleading no longer in the desire
for life, but a quick end, by silence, in the fall
before the weight carries you away, into an endless day
between the horns of memory, and the fascination of dream
let your body drop quickly,as these thoughts hold you tight
your fingers, release, your body in full flight
and there is no other sound, no sight on your way down
as world, waits, listens, for your body, to hit the cold hard ground

Whispers in the Winter

the wind it whispers in cold winter time
an ancient rhythm that knows the rhyme
a pattern, a song, that shares its secrets with those who hear
the call, the glory, the fall before the year
which turns and slides, around the corners of our mind
the beauty of silence, the serenity in calm
all belongs in a winter's cold, beholden in its arms
revealed now to the world we know, the world fresh and deep
in a newly fallen snow, that covers the world
the mind, the heart, with whispers and secrets
that warmth the part of us all that simply longs to end
the running, the rolling, the evidence never sent
that would clear our conscious, clear our soul
of the weight of knowing, all that we know
for the window in the winter, spills over our time
speaking of a truth, that only its secrets can unwind

Moon and Night

upon your face, awakes the moon and night
the dark embers of twilight, burning in the fires of your eyes
the brown warmth of sunrise, alive in the stars, tonight
a contrast, where the coolness of the moon, brings the compassion to reason
the season to belief, a change in the stillness, of dreaming
by the time where waters wash, cleanse, where the world drives
and gives birth to the endless night, that belongs only where we wake
and stare into one another's eyes, the mask of night but a disguise
for the morning, and all her color, splendor, for the moon
cool, and new, warms with a blue kiss, of starry night
edging tomorrow, in the span of the light that lingers
as you pass from shadow to dream, the warmth of magic's whispers
in the thoughts the gleam in the moonlight, that sparkle in the daylight
timeless time as ending before the winding fever of the day begins
to seek, all the pleasures rolling, running so deep in our fingers clasp
the secret sights of endless nights belonging, forever, in the thoughts of our minds
the moon and sky hunger for your sight, a vision endless in the dark twilight
for the fever still holds me true, before the day and night run through
as you smile, and hold such beauty in the breath of the night
and by the day, i wake to find, all the dream still alive, forever in these thoughts
etched deep, into moon's lasting twilight

Defense

in the defense of time, for the seconds that wind
and brings to an end, all the moments that i thought would last
forever, and ever, in the eternal spring of the moment
i saw your face, the racing through the colors
the shapes, the shadows of today and tomorrow
with you, all in one, was one, for two
the smell, the taste, these thoughts of you still linger here
as time crumbles, fades with age, the face of forgiveness
long and worn, by the scent of reason, that can no longer find
a place to call its own, for in time
the hours pass, the seasons last
only for a moment of time's eternal breath
i see the leaves fall, the winter's wall, and spring and summer blend
into a sea of misery, for me, today, i do walk through these memories
of you, of me, the waves of water wash, and cleanse the heart to be
more than i could have ever imagined
when i saw you for the last time
in the moments of rhyme, lost here, in the seconds past
these shadows of time, that wake with the sun, change the color
the shape, the face of tomorrow, i see you no longer
for my heart has moved on, in this moment of time
that comes to an end, it is your heart, that i can no longer defend

Binding

when time in chance, through fiery eyes
dances by the witness, in a vision of light so free
twirling upward, in the spirals that wake, and tempt the stars
from the horizon on which they see
all the color, in you and in me, in this moment the fires
leave the grace, in heavens, alive
for the passion that rises with a temptation of touch
that walks with us, in the shadow and light
through sun and earth, moon and sky
the fires keep us alive, burning here together, tonight
for when we walk, we dream of life
beyond these borders, beyond the corners of our minds
past all rivers, through all seas, into an ocean inside you and me
for the patience of the waters, washing over our bodies
in life, rock us, move us, for where we come, and unite as one
in the moment, of our hearts, in the seconds of our eyes
all is one, binding with fire, through the moments
we see, when we look into one another's eyes
the chance in heaven, taken
to pass its gates, see the glory, the witness, in the clouds
and streams of another sunrise, that is one in truth
united in youth, the angels and demons, gather here tonight
to feel the fires roaring, to see the waters quenching
our thirst, on this very night, for the shadows and light
do dance across your face, a reflection of color
mirrored in the stars, as they wait endlessly here
for the spring of daylight, to dance across your face
to twirl across the sky, all is witness to truth, in these moments of fire and twilight
