Beyond the Light

Don’t take me…

I hide
behind blinds,
that shut out
what’s coming.

It stings!

The light comes for me.
Helpless,
I’m taken closer…
and closer…
and closer.

Let go!
I did not want this!

I resent your paradise!
I loathe your gift of eternity!
Throw me back!

Don’t take me… Please…

The Mesmer

What hands can’t touch,
Eyes can grasp.

Echoes from pools of amber hues,
Like voices beyond the tunnel,
Beckoning, seducing…

I’m your fool.

Soul begs to be your reflection…
…You allow it.
Heart surrenders for your bidding…
…You take it.
Mind halts…
…I,
…You,
…One!

Lips on leather soles,
Tastes like juice
from the apples of Eden.
Give me more!

I’m your fool,
A fool’s fool.

I’m… a… fool…

My Pen is Tired

Ton of ideas
laid out on paper,
Drawing blood
in every stroke,
Relief in each unveiling.

Foreign eyes often ignore,
beauty between the lines.
Those who dare,
are honored by its presence.

If only it has reached the minds
of people whom they are meant for.

The shouts are silenced.
The lights are dimmed.
The ink won’t flow…
…It won’t flow.

Sorry

The swaying of the pendulum,
The ticking of time,
The passing of day to night.

It’s done, I couldn’t go back.

All I could do
is let you hear this word.
Then maybe, just maybe,
It could erase that moment.
Turn it into a void,
That neither of us knew existed.

Burned into our dreams,
Etched into our lives.

It’s over, can’t be undone.
Nothing could ever change it.

Still… I’m sorry.

Kiss the Moon

I want to kiss the moon this Christmas,
And let skies shed tears of snow.
I want chills to run through my body,
Like water through stream as they flow.

Remind me of sweetness.
Let me feel love just once.

I want to hug the stars,
So warmth will make me feel.
That someone…
…somewhere
…someday,
Will answer my prayers when I kneel.

Remind me that I dream,
Let me know that I’m heard.

I want to be a puzzle,
Only with that missing piece.
Maybe then I’ll be content,
My soul will be at ease.

Remind me that it’s possible,
Remind me that it can be real,
And the holidays will somehow make it happen.
