-- ONE
--
Cold air on my face
Grass beneath my feet
White light below a pale,
Golden Moon
A halo of exuberance
Worlds of expectations that collide
With the fluttering of wings
Radiant abode of peace
Lying there, in the dark
Quietly mourning
Opalescent leaves
The moisture of autumn rain
Winter's rage
A fortress toppled
Crushed stone upon stone
Blending with the forest
-- TWO --
Two Lovers Seeking solace
Trying to escape
Prying eyes and
Misjudgements
Lovers that feed their fires
With lack of reason
Treason
In the rain
Breathing heavily
Battling for words
And finding none
Lovers
With pick axes
That wear away their defenses
Slow and deep
Songs of surrender
A Siren's call
Two Lovers...
Destined to fall
-- THREE --
I didn't realize
I had been holding
My breath all this time
Hoping we wouldn't break
Apart
Smoky eyes, reflective
Like a child-Wild
Curled in your arms
Young. Just a girl
Saying nothing as your fingers
Trace invisible patterns in my hair
Some part of me saddened,
Fragile. Not always there.
So simple in the end
To let you in
Within
Soft, luxuriant sensations
Peace after the storm
A quiet burning that I will now hide
And cherish
Because it's mine
