Indigo Dreams

~ Indigo Dreams ~

 



Again, you come to me

familiar, yet unknown

the touch of your fingertips

whispering along my face

and I stir in my sleep

 

you never say a word

but I always know it's you

by the rhythm of your heartbeat

in the safety of my dreams

 

I feel your smile

though I do not know your face

like the bittersweet pull of the moon

she takes, and she gives

all while she promises wonder

 

what do you promise me?

 

perhaps we are the making of the stars

celestial bodies coming together

where passion meets truth meets surrender

to bask in eternal afterglow

 

do you promise me the stars?

 

indigo dreams linger on the breeze

as reality dances on shadow's edge

I reach out my hand, you smile at me

and the moon caresses destiny.

Love and Zombies



~ Love and Zombies ~

 

Too many people have died of a broken heart

time passes, are you ready to chance it again?

There is really no such thing as a fresh start

yet sometimes you need more than a friend

 

Time passes, are you ready to chance it again?

You've believed for so long that love is dead

yet sometimes you need more than a friend

to eradicate the demons inside your head

 

You've believed for so long that love is dead

like a zombie that comes back to life again.

To eradicate the demons inside your head,

somehow hope returns through thick and thin

 

Like a zombie that comes back to life again

love resurfaces and scares you to death

somehow hope returns though thick and thin

a leap of faith starts with the deepest breath

 

Love resurfaces and scares you to death

there is really no such thing as a fresh start

A leap of faith starts with the deepest breath

too many people have died of a broken heart.

Windswept Dreams

~ Windswept Dreams ~

 

Windswept dreams, a heart seeking shelter

weary from existing helter-skelter
in a catacomb of broken souls,

lost on a path that Fear controls

 

Windswept dreams? A romantic's passion

misleading the heart in dangerous fashion

eschewing caution when the heart is smitten

for a poet's love, yearning to be written

 

Windswept dreams, scatter far and wide

a Hail-Mary of hope, blanket the countryside

cross mountains and seas with humbled grace

and return to me with love's embrace.

***

 

I wrote this from a word challenge,

having asked my friends to each give me a word. 

Below are the words they gave me,

and I used the ones in bold:

 

 

heart / windswept / smitten / dangerous / bereft /

mountain / emerald / catacomb / grace / humbled /

sanctimonious / flake / sylvan / bullocks

 

 





Delusion

 



Drink to me

your delusion

I keep hope alive

reality's intrusion

 

taste my faith

your resolution

I bleed the greys
harboring confusion

 

absorb my strength

breathe its misconception

I mask the pain

denying restitution

 

embrace the spider's kiss

there is no more than this.
