Mate

Whispered goodbyes
linger long on mournful lips,
as sorrow dwells behind
closed eyes. Puddles form around
this weary face, streaming out
from unceasing cries.

Angels gather with
blankets of warm love
to comfort and quiet
a child of God; soothing away
breathless gasps and heaving chest,
in this the darkest hour.

Death passes through
resting a heavy hand
on the grief stricken tender heart.
As time vanishes quickly in heavens
welcoming light, another soul
returns home apart-

Unrelenting Desire

swept away...
like a dream interrupted
by mornings first light
your sweet taste
lingered long on hungry lips
well past that single night

swept away...
like a rain of fallen stars
leaving streaks of white
your eyes stayed behind
traceing a path along my desire
well past that single night

swept away...
like a fleeting storm
wet with winds aromatic flight
a relentless memory is left
deeply felt inside and out
well past that single night

You Forgot To Tell Me

Talk to me
of this light in my eyes
white, with a ring of soft purple
thin threads of silken rays
weaving into a carm frigid blue

The sky a changing swirl
of rainbow colors dance
reflecting in your ocean eyes
the softness of your breath
felt within this living dream

Tell me why did you leave
how cold I began to feel
and the dark soon after
seemed to seep in quickly
from everywhere

I waited for you
from inside--the view was endless
heard your words singing
throughout the dark rains
telling me you will be there

Do you remember when
the bubble slowly dissolved
a fine mist kissed our face
as a tingle of laughter
still can be tasted on my tongue

Talk to me
of this light in my eyes
you left, only you forgot
to tell me
before I died-

a moment to...

vent away
the past today
-touch my sight
-blind my eyes
-watch my time
-speak my mind
-find my words
-wear my skin
-breath my air
live without
a freaking care
